ASP/Ajax extensions – Sys.Debug is null or not an object

Category : Technical

Today I got faced with the impossible error of “Sys.Debug is null or not an object” while using the Ajax Extensions for an ASP website, meaning I couldn’t get my CalendarExtension to work … Googling it, it seemed like a well known error, but if you think that means that it’s fixed in no time, you can think again.

I spent hours reading the question over and over again, and trying out answers ppl gave, but nothing seemed to work for me .. until finally finally finally … I found a website actually handing me the solution to it all :D

You can find the link here

After doing what he so very well explains in his article, I restarted my IIS (issreset in start->run) en cleared the cache of my browser (ctrl + F5 for IE) and I haven’t seen the error since!!

Thnx again to Ross Hawkins!

Flash and Ajax together

Many people talk about Flash and Ajax like they’re competitors, both being rich internet applications (RIAs). After doing some research on them, I beg the difference though. Of course, you shouldn’t use them just to use them, but either have their own strengths.

Flash & Ajax

Category : Technical

Many ppl compare Flash with Ajax, they would never even dream about actually letting them work together. My latest project for school is to investigate the two of them and see to what degree they can work together and whether it’s actually a wise thing to do so …

On Thursday I have to present this project in front of a “jury”. So until then … my findings are safely stored away on my laptop ;)
