How to Decompile a .NET DLLApr 01, 2008 by Paul WhiteI am not a huge fan of precompiling my code into DLL files, Simply because it makes it harder for other to diagnose problems, and trouble shoot your application. Repairs should be possible with notepad if you are desperate. I had a client that called with this exact situation. Their Old Developer was a hard core Visual Studio Man, and all the code was in DLL files. I found a little tool that allows you to open the DLLs and see the source code. Opening DLL files may not be legal in some situations, but in my case it was to help my client get their application back up and running. I was rather impressed with this tool.
asp.net http module for project honey pot http IP blacklistMar 31, 2008 by Paul White
If there is one things that developers agree on, its that hackers, and spammers should be hunted down, and Killed, ( I mean brought to justice ). The guys over at Project Honey Pot are leading the fight against spam. They have setup a HTTP Blacklist that developers can use to validate their visitors IP. The only problem is writing some code to utilize it might be a little advanced for some. I have created an HTTP Module for ASP.NET that will validated your visitors before they get into your site. I even commented my code ( something I usually don't do ), so others can learn. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Replace it with two bigger ones. I choose the Samsung 2493HM from newegg because of its ability to swivel for a tall screen. This is especially helpful when writing code. Read more about my setup on the full article.
