IE 8.1 Features Leaked
March 31st, 2009 | 
Author: Smashing Magazine has a story about the new version of IE (8.1) they’ve had a chance to look at:
404 Errors – Retrieving the Bad URL
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post describing how to detect that a 404 error had occurred in your error handler rather than just detecting that any error had occurred.
ASP.NET Application_Error – Detecting 404′s
This past weekend Alaa Ali asked, “So how do you retrieve the wrong requested URL?”
WinForms – Change The Active Tab
This question came in last Friday:
I’m trying to code a windows form in vb.net 2005. In my form I have 2 TabControls and a command button. The button is in the first TabControl, so what I want to do, is that when I click the button, in the first TabControl, the second TabControl gets opened.
I’m assuming here that what is really being asked is, “How do I change the active tab in a TabControl from some other event, like a button click in a tab?”

Friday Books – jQuery UI 1.6:
The User Interface Library for jQuery
Modern web application user interface design requires rapid development and proven results. jQuery UI, a trusted plugin for the jQuery JavaScript library, gives you a trusted platform on which to build rich and engaging interfaces with maximum compatibility, stability, and a minimum of time and effort.
jQuery UI has a series of ready-made, great-looking user interface widgets and a comprehensive set of core interaction helpers designed to be implemented in a consistent and developer-friendly way. With all this, the amount of code that you need to write personally to take a project from conception to completion is drastically reduced This book has been written to maximize your experience with the library by breaking down each component and walking you through examples that progressively build upon your knowledge, taking you from beginner to advanced usage in a series of easy to follow steps.
ASP.NET MVC – Routing
One of the core features of ASP.NET MVC that makes everything “just work” is the concept of routing. By specifying ahead of time what a route looks like, we can create links that look like regular URLs with no parameters that behave like parameterized URLs on the server.
The magic for this all happens in Global.asax.cs (or .vb if you are using Visual Basic)
