My friend Todd Kitta and I were having a discussion on GUIDs. He said that one day he compared the number of possible GUIDs to the number of grains of sand estimated to be on all the beaches on the earth.

It hasn't yet, but if it can happen, it'll happen to me. Technorati Tags: Programming * Numbers...

The customer already owned Infragistics' NetAdvantage for ASP.NET so I used their UltraWebGrid. Very slick and easy to deploy with your custom web parts. The primary feature they wanted was the cool Excel-like cut-n-paste functionality but that wasn't working in our production environment. At the beginning of the project,...
