ASP.NET 2.0 DropDownList EnableViewState

In ASP.NET 2.0 the DropDownList EnableViewState doesn't work the same as other controls like GridView. Fortunately Anson Goldade created one that does. You can learn how here: http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/DotNet/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontrols/2006-02/msg00149.html

.NET generics with private accessors not compatible with MSTest

Was playing around with generics and suddenly my unit test project failed with this error: “Signature of the body and declaration in a method implementation do not match.” After some research I found a post here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vststest/thread/b54e6634-1542-4bd8-a227-029bfb679dec that explained my problem was using a private on a generic class, and was a known bug that will not be fixed in VS 2010 as explained here https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=415357 .  Changed the private to public and was able to carry on.

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript not working

Had a website with a master page and in the the page_load event I was calling  Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript to run some javascript based on the current state of the application. In the default.aspx page the script worked fine but in this other page the script was not getting called at all.   After much research I have learned that  Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript only works if the page has a form element that has the  runat="server" set.  Once I added a form element with runat="server" to the other page the script finally started getting called the same as it did on the default.aspx page which of course had already had a form element.
