A wiki introduction to telugu

A lot of people had already posted enough material on the web. So I am not trying to reinvent the wheel. This is needed on my blog as 'Telugu' is my mother tongue and if someone needs introduction, this is the fastest way to learn about it. As many language experts noted,(దేశ భాషలందు తెలుగు లెస్స!) Telugu is one of the sweetest languages and anything I say about it is less.

How to add a WSDL file to an ASP.net project:

1. open a web application project in visual studio 2003 (VS)

2. add the wsdl file to the project (physically copy the file)

3. See if the file is avaialble on the web server

4. open web references dialog in VS.

5. use url to refer to the wsdl file on the web server
eg: http://localhost/wsdl

6. once it is added and saved all the web service methods are available to the current project.

Oracle Ref Cursor

When building one of these to return data to the calling program, always maintain the same order and number of fields both in the declaration and body of a procedure or function or package.

Java Mail

Here is a sample that is explained in detail.

When you use this make sure the port 25 is available on the SMTP Server. Without that, you get connectivity errors.

Plato's Psychic prison

Guys and gals,
If you have a minute in your life, read about this concept. I came across this in a text book for a course called -"Organizational Management". I provided the details of the book below, but I am sure you can get related information on the web. It reveals all the maladies of an organization and root causes. It is very powerful. It just opens your eyes to all the realities of work life. Good luck!!

VBScript Runtime Error '800a0046' Permission denied

I have an intranet application built using ASP 3.0 and IIS 5.0. All it does is serve some PDF documents from oracle database to IE users on demand. A couple of users add these forms to the site (sort of application administrators) and when I tried to test that functionality, I was getting the above error message and went through some research (by the way the upload process uses FileSystemObject in ASP). KB articles 197619 and some more discussed about the problem, but the solutions did not really work for me.

So I added the so called admin users to administrator group locally to the physical folder of the application files on IIS box and asked them to try the site. Ola! It started working. Of course, I still get the error if try using any other accounts other than the ones I already gave full control. Though temporarily, I am off the hook, I want to solve this the right way. What was wrong here?
