A Reverse Phone Lookup That Works
There internet is filled with places to do reverse phone lookups (who called me 5 minutes ago).
But, most of them now ask you to pay for the name of the person or business.

WCF One-Way Calls, Callbacks, And Events
Here an article I was reading about some of the new (and from the looks of it… very useful) features of WCF.
ASP.NET AJAX Errors
I have been getting a few errors when trying to use the asp.net ajax framework.
The one error message is:
Error: Sys.ArgumentTypeException: Object of type ‘Sys_Application’ cannot be converted to type ‘Sys._Application’/
Parameter name: instance
This is caused by having SmartNavigation turned on for the page.
The other error I was getting was this Sys.ArgumentOutOfRangeException. Value must be an integer. Parameter name: X. Actual value was NaN.
This error is caused by using a “yes” or “no” for “frameborder” for a frame.
Yes and No are valid entries but the framework is expecting a “1” or a “0”.
Icon Finder
This service is down right now, but it looks like it might be very useful!
Grabbing images from a AxWebBrowser

Not sure if this will work, but I will give it a try.
More in the souce…
ASP.NET Upload Component
I think I saw this ABCUpload .Net tool being used by microsoft on one of their internal support sites for uploading large files.
I don’t think it actually gets around the httprequest length and executiontimeout problems, but it does provide you a window showing your progress, which is nice.
