I find myself having to lookup the same snippets of code a lot. You know, those insignificant lines of code you “never” use. Recently I have had to look this up twice, and hopefully by placing it here, I will never need to again (knock on wood). So again, without further ado… drum roll please… enum CcType { Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex,...

So rarely do I use opt groups, that I had to actually look up their syntax! So when I wanted to use them in a project I’m working on in Asp.Net MVC, I wasn’t very shocked the MVC DropDownList extension didn’t exist for it.

I’m working with a client that saved out a bunch of motifs in to “transparent” gifs, but wants those motifs on a background “without the jaggy” white pixes. After doing the first 10 or so by hand in PhotoShop (a pain in my rear), I wrote a little C# app to handle all of this for me. It assumes the image is gray scale, and that...
