Evolution Of The JavaScript Loop
Doing a bit of testing last week, I have found out that the source code for the Game Of Life JavaScript Implementation is not working with Internet Explorer 7 (IE7).
It turns out that IE7 doesn’t support the
(more…)forEachconstruct, and in while rewriting it, I noticed how the code becomes so much uglier and less readable, which led me to think about the programming language evolution. -

Multiple Values For The Same GET or POST Parameter in ASP.NET MVC
There are situations where you need to pass multiple values for the same parameter to the server, here are some patterns.
- Multiple checkboxes to pick the values for the same purpose.
- Select columns to show in the table
- Select post categories
- User can add as much values as he/she likes.

Converting Word Document to HTML
Microsoft Word happens to be the text editing application of choice for many of my clients. And they would like to post the content to web, so I still find myself in a situation where I need to export a Word document to HTML.

So, a good result would have no or very little formatting, and as simple as possible markup.

Run NUnit for the current VisualStudio project
On a lot of projects, I use NUnit for unit testing, usually I create a separate project that contains only the tests.
There tools that integrate fully with the Visual Studio, like ReSharper or TestDriven.NET, but they cost money and you can’t run them on Express editions.
So I’ve made this useful shortcut to easily run it for the current (test) project. Screenshots are made on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional running on Windows 7.
