A few interesting topics

I have been looking at some of the topics on www.devnewsgroups.net

In microsoft.public.dotnet.framework the issue of ASPNET can't write in event log on win XP has come up. I have run into this myself and generally it is caused by the ASPNET user not having enough permission to update the registry. Creating an event source, which only needs to be done once causes an exception. If this is done by the developer before running the application there usually are no problems.

There is a discussion of Application Server Design for .Net which looks at server requirements for running .NET applications. The mini-article on the SoapSuds tool is interesting, the other option is to use interfaces to define the contract between server and client.

Others are talking about Accessing SQL Server with Forms on an Intranet. It seems to be coming down to a choice between a windows or web application.
