Asp.Net mvc

There is alot of people complaining that asp.net mvc looks a lot like classic asp.And it does ...but that can be seen as an advantage, since that are stilllots of applications writen in classic asp and in my point of view using the mvc framework would make the migration easier.

Turkey test your code

Today I found a very interesting post about handling different cultures.
From now own I will be sure to apply the Turkey test to my code.
As a complement here is how to use .net code to pick-up the browser culture and use it.
Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages(0))

C# Gotcha

Look at the code below..do you see anything wrong?

Object x=2;
double y=(double)x;
Now try to execute it ..and surprise ,surprise it throws a exception...
Looking only at this two lines makes it easier to see the problem..but imagine
this in the middle of a very big code and the error only happening at your production server
(that's what happened to me...) I had to take a wild guess at what was wrong
and I changed the code to
y=Double.parse(x);
..
Now the code works.
