Some gotchas with sharing ASP and ASP.Net Cookies

I recently had a project that was in the process of migrating from ASP to ASP.Net. The site was a decent size, so we were moving part by part into ASP.Net. The authentication forms were still in ASP. There was the ability for users to save their user names and some other information by selecting a check box with the login form. Pretty simple stuff, except that the cookie was storing it unencrypted.

Crystal is the Bane of My Existence

I hate Crystal Reports. Well, to be fair I’ve never had to actually use the designer to create a report. I’ve mainly been on projects where it was used and saw that it was a general pain to those closer to it. But now, this is just one more reason to really hate the product. Business Objects (the company selling this product) has now become greedy at Ludicrous Speed! This is just plain stupid.
