		<title>FoneM8store: Buyer beware!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently did some online shopping for an automatic air compressor to keep my car tyres topped up, and decided upon the Ring RAC600 Automatic Digital Air Compressor. Ring Automotive are a well-respected manufacturer and the product attracted positive reviews on Amazon.co.uk, and FoneM8store were offering the item for just shy of £22 delivered which seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to disable proxy server via web.config file</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m developing a simple ASP.NET page to consume an RSS feed, format and output the content. My default proxy requires authentication, so unless I supply proxy credentials or bypass the proxy altogether, I get a &#8220;407 Proxy Authentication Required&#8221; error.
Fortunately I can access the RSS feed URL directly without going through the proxy, so the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Troubleshooting IDENT_CURRENT() returning null in SQL Server</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was mystified by an issue with one of my Web applications in which the IDENT_CURRENT() function was returning null. I was under the impression that this function (which returns the last identity value generated for a specific table or view) would always return a value. In fact, as pointed out in this post, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using ISAPI Rewrite to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My employer&#8217;s SharePoint-powered external website &#8211; which I look after &#8211; uses ISAPI Rewrite to provide &#8220;friendly&#8221; URLs for certain pages, and also to redirect old URLs to their new locations. Coming from a LAMP background, this is great for me as it basically works the same as Apache&#8217;s mod_rewrite.
Previously the website responded to requests [...]]]></description>

		<title>In detail: Argos credit card security breach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I saw today&#8217;s The Register article, &#8220;Argos buries unencrypted credit card data in email receipts&#8220;, I immediately logged into my Gmail account to see if I had been affected.
It didn&#8217;t take me long to find an email receipt from an order placed in April 2009, and was able to see the problem first-hand.

		<title>Stop Ctrl+Enter from sending emails in Outlook 2003</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I use Microsoft Outlook at work and have never purposely used the Ctrl+Enter keyboard to send an email. However, I am a fairly fast typist, and sometimes don&#8217;t let go of the Ctrl key quick enough after pasting something into an email before pressing Enter for a new line, the result being a half-finished email [...]]]></description>

		<title>IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) OK button greyed out when adding application mappings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This one had me flummoxed until I found the solution on the Microsoft help and support site.
Basically you need to click the &#8220;Executable&#8221; text box to initialise the path after you&#8217;ve browsed to the file.
It&#8217;s not obvious, but easy to remember once you know the workaround!

		<title>SharePoint and getElementById()</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve just found out that using JavaScript&#8217;s getElementById() function doesn&#8217;t quite work as expected when dealing with controls on SharePoint pages. This is because SharePoint uses its own identifiers, so TextBox1  becomes something like ctl00$ctl00$g_3f6d90e4_335b_467c_a53f_6ae00bca6b63$ctl00$TextBox1.
Fortunately there&#8217;s a simple solution &#8211; instead of the following (which will cause an &#8220;Object required&#8221; JavaScript error):
document.getElementById("TextBox1");

		<title>FreeTextBox: How to fix &#8220;The type or namespace name &#8216;Toolbar&#8217; could not be found&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m working on a Visual Studio 2005 ASP.NET project which makes use of FreeTextBox to provide rich text editing capability. My code sets up the toolbar programmatically but, despite following the installation instructions to the letter (including setting up the FTB TagPrefix), my code was failing to compile with The type or namespace name &#8216;Toolbar&#8217; [...]]]></description>
