ASP .NET - Development Server(Local Host) - Page Not found problem

I typically, do not use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 from my laptop, but today I had to. I designed a simple page and tried to run that, but it said " Page can not be displayed, check your Internet Connection.. blah blah" . I searched over the internet regarding this error but most of the solutions were regarding IIS which I was not using at that time. 

After some time I found that  the problem is because of IPV6 supports of ASP.NET Development Server. To disable IPV6 so that ASP.NET Development Server runs, we can do as below.

1. Go to c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\.

2. Edit file hosts. Put a ‘#’ before the rows “::1 localhost”.

3. Save it.

If you can not save the file and get some permission errors, follow the following steps:

1.  Run cmd as Administrator ( in Windows Vista) first. 

2. Go to c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\ from command prompt. 

3. Type "Edit hosts" there

4. Put a ‘#’ before the rows “::1 localhost” and save it.

After saving the file go to your visual studio, compile the website again. It will run.

“Apple tablet”: How will it look like?

People are talking about “Apple tablet”. We can see so many news, views, rumors and speculations regarding “Apple tablets” these days. Many designers are sketching their ideas of Apple tablet. I googled “apple tablet” and saw so many pictures about the product which is not even released. I am wondering what will be the name of the tablet, may be something like iTablet (like iPhone, iPod. People are also saying that the name might be iSlate). This might be the fusion of iPod and iPhone in one, or might be way more powerful and useful than those, or might be just another model of Mac book Pro. I am also wondering how this highly anticipated gadget will look like. Will it look like one of these ? Will it bring a new technological breakthrough or it will be just another gadget? I hope Mr. Jobs announces the new gadget soon, and I will get all my answers. :-)

Passing parameters programmatically to Crystal report

It is very easy to pass the parameters in Crystal reports editing the crystal reports ( just by adding the required parameters on the report and making "EnableParameterprompt = "True" " in the properties of the crystal report viewer. , but it has several drawbacks, like the parameters do not get added to the report automatically, we can not really modify the interface of parameter prompt and so on.  Today we are discussing about the parameter passing to crystal reports  programmatically.   In .aspx page, drag the control to ask for the parameters and drag the control for Crystal report viewer as follows: < table > < tr >< td style ="vertical-align: top; text-align: left; height: 21px;">< asp : Label ID ="lbl1" runat ="server" Text ="Choose the semester" style ="vertical-align: top; text-align: left" /> td > < td style ="height: 21px; vertical-align: top; text-align: left;&q
