    Working with RadScheduler recurring appointments on SQL server*

    UPDATED: Rebuilt project with the 2011 Q2 version of RadScheduler You might have noticed that RadScheduler uses very cryptic strings to describe repeating appointments. We have decided not to reinvent the wheel and in fact this format is closely based on the iCalendar (RFC2445) standard. Here is an example: DTSTART:20080218T000000Z DTEND:20080219T000000Z RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=12;BYDAY=-2MO;COUNT=3;   This rule says: "The event starts at midnight on 18th of February 2008, lasts one day and repeats each year, for 3 years, on the second to last Monday of February". Now say this three times fast. As much as standards-based those strings are,...

    Search Engine Optimization: Use an HttpHandler when Redirecting

    It is fairly common that you will need to configure a page in your web application to redirect a user to another page. The reasons for this vary, but in one specific case you may want to rethink how you are redirecting your users. When a call to Response.Redirect() is made, the server sends a response back to the client with an HTTP 302 status code, telling the client that the resource has temporarily moved and where it can find the resource. I've created a simple page, OldPage.aspx, which redirects to NewPage.aspx during the Page_Load event. Let's jump into FireBug and see exactly...
