ADO.NET Tricks: Debugging Datasets


This is a cool tip from Tim Sneath at asp.net site and ADO.NET tricks and tips



When you're debugging code with Visual Studio .NET, it's really hard to see what data is currently contained within a DataSet. Sure, the Locals window will show any DataSet objects currently in scope, but finding out what data is contained within them is not easy.
Two good ways of accessing this information both revolve around the XML methods available on the object. Firstly, if you've got a console window associated with your application, you can do:
ds.WriteXml(Console.Out);
which uses the stream-based overload of the WriteXml method to dump the DataSet to the console.
It's even easier if you've got a VS.NET Command window open (hit Ctrl+Alt+A). Make sure you're in immediate mode by entering immed, and then simply run:
? ds.GetXml()
This dumps the contents of the DataSet to the Command window. "

Security Update stopped my ASP.NET apps


I found out that my web applications have suddenly stopped working unexplainably. As usual, I tried to repair the mappings with aspnet_regiis.exe utility but the ol' trick did not fix the problem. Searching through Google, I came to find out that this is a bug side effect when the latest Microsoft security update was installed. Microsoft has already addressed this issue and it says it only affects Windows XP Professional. The error is explained in this msdn article.

There is also a forum dedicated to this problem which is found at ASP.NET Web moderated by ScottGu. A link to a batch file is posted at the site to fix the problem. It's a quick fix and easy to apply.
