Linux OS Based distribution is very subjective matter according to personal taste. In most case we are uncertain to choose “right” distribution because there’s pro and cons over the internet. I will cover the reason why choose Debian for a server while it sounded subjective. I am not talking about desktop environment, Ubuntu wins down.

Ubuntu Server is one of several sub distribution from Ubuntu family. It’s easy to use and many people use it as OS for the Server. Debian is Ubuntu ancestor, literally. Debian could be as server OS too and have no distinctive category or purpose, Debian doesn’t have special built distribution for different purposes excluding Live CD. It’s only have one form, Debian Installer. That’s it.

Microsoft give ASP.NET developers choice to develop website or web application. This article comparing both in personal perspective, so it will not so technical article, just a personal opinion.

Every ASP.NET developer know to find and cast a control but sometimes finding the control name is PITA. I face this kind of problem when still actively programming C# in .NET 2.0 era. So, I have an idea to write junk code in asp.net code behind and throw up into output window rather than putting breakpoints and looking for control ID.

private void ControlExplorer(System.Web.UI.ControlCollection control)
{
	if (control.Count > 0)
	{
		foreach (System.Web.UI.Control currentControl in control)
		{
			System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(currentControl.GetType().FullName);
			System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(currentControl.ID);

			this.ControlExplorer(currentControl.Controls);
		}
	}
}

You can call the method inside an control event, choose the target (e.g wizardForm.Controls) and it will print out everything you want. You’re welcome.

I was trying to attach a mdf file from local backup into Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and I got access denied after clicking OK button. I saw many people was facing this situation. The solution to this problem quite simple, well, at last.  Here’s how:

1. Run your SQL Server Management as Administration
2. Use Windows Authentication
3. Attach your mdf file

I was also trying logged in using SQL Server Authentication but failed. Hopefully, you could then attach your mdf file to SQL Server. Cheers.
