iPhone Web Site Dev in Visual Studio
Posted in .Net-Development by Matthew Clements on 16 Jun, 2010
If you are developing an ASP.Net web application that is to be consumed by an iPhone (or other mobile device) you'll find it a bit inconvenient that the built in web server with Visual Studio can't be accessed on anything other than localhost or 127.0.0.1 - but not for long...
I just read (and followed) the post by Erich Eichinger here and patched my Visual Studio WebServer to allow me to connect to my development environment from my iPhone on WiFi
What is even better is that you can debug in Visual Studio whilst navigating the application on the iPhone!
Well done that man!
If you want any help doing this - you know where I am
Could not load all ISAPI filters for Sharepoint. Therefore startup aborted.
Posted in Sharepoint by Matthew Clements on 09 Nov, 2009
I came across a Windows 2008 Server installation where the Central Admin gave a 500 error and there was very little in the event log apart from :
Could not load all ISAPI filters for 'sitename'. Therefore startup aborted.
The installation had worked previously, but after the application of W2K8 SP2 the admin stopped working (whether this was the cause or a coincidence hasnt been established)
Anyway, thanks to some pointers in Nishant Rana's similar post I disabled 32 bit .Net support using:
cscript C:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbsSET W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32bitAppOnWin64 0
and reregistered ASP.NET 2.0 as the default using:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727>
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Worked a treat!

I stumbled across the following article on the use of JQuery and .Net - really helped bring a little focus to the benefits of JQuery in what we do and I can see that we will be making good use of it over the coming weeks!
