Error in Calendar Extender because the master page has asp tag <%%>

Today, I just annoyed with this error.
Every form which using Calendar extension works fine before.
and somehow after I change the master page, it start to show an error said :

=================
System.Web.HttpException: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. ).
=================

Luckily, with Tom's Help, I found the problem.
It was on the master page on the header java script which use <%= ... %> to get the content from server....

Url Rewriting VS Postback

To Resolve a problem in postback for url rewriting,
you can use control adaptor and rewrite the form.

public class FormRewriter : System.Web.UI.Adapters.ControlAdapter

EnableSortingAndPagingCallback Issue With LinqDataSource

Today, I found an issue with EnableSortingAndPagingCallback and LinqDataSource

I enable the EnableSortingAndPagingCallback on my GridView and using LinqDataSource.
Somehow after I tested, I always get error on deleting the row after move to the next page.

====
The solutions which work well is Use Update panel instead of EnableSortingAndPagingCallback.

I think it's better to use Update Panel rather then enableSortingAndPagingCallback, it some reason, it's faster and also include editing and deleting as well.

SWF Library to convert image

I just find library to convert SWF to image. it's called SWFToImage.dll from bytescout.
but it is activeX. which we don't want to use.

and I find others called swfdotnet-1.0 but unfortunately, it only support swf version 7.

Any other library for this ?

Thanks.

LINQ will arround the DateTime.MaxValue

Today, I just fixed the bugs which is interesting.

if we use linq to filter data with this DateTime.MaxValue.TimeOfDay.ToString();-
which will be appear show the time 23:59:59.9999999

Linq will add up to the next day.

so the solution never use the MaxValue.TimeOfDay.. just use simple string 23:59:59 and it's enough.
