Michael Bolton sings in Colombo

Michael Bolton is gonna perform in Colombo on 1st of December 7.30 PM at CR&FC. He is a classy singer, songwriter, and social activist. I love his unique gravelly singing voice. Bolton has sold over 52 million albums and singles worldwide, and has won two Grammys for best male vocalist, and six American Music Awards among many other accolades.

MoBike = Fatality

I have decided to get rid of my mo-bike. Yesterday I have eye witnessed the consequences of a dreadful and fatal mo-bike accident for the second time in the recent past. Unfortunately I observed them in front of my eyes.

No matter how hard you try to ride safe, mo-bikes are extremely hazardous. Though it’s a good companion in urgencies, though I am not riding daily, I will completely give it up within next four months for sure. That’s what my relatives forcing me to do as well.

Wasn't me ?

My superior showed me a curriculum vitae of a candidate who has applied for a vacancy at my organization. On his portfolio, there was a site done by me sometime ago for the Lions Club of Sri Lanka, District 306 B2.

Gotta Solution

I got an awesome way out to conclude my pain with Browser Caching.

System.Random r = new System.Random();
Thumb2.ImageUrl="imagename.jpg?"+r.NextDouble();

Fed up with Browser Caching

I have an image control on my c#.net page. Users can upload images to the site and my code creates a thumbnail of that newly uploaded image and assigns it to the image control. So the image name will be always same but image changes/overwrites.

The ill point is, the image control does not refresh the newly selected image. The change takes place when I manually refreshed the page.

I found a solution: In IIS management console, select the website, open properties, select HTTP Headers tab, enable Content Expiration and select ‘expire immediately’.

This works perfectly, but in my case I don’t have the access to IIS management console in my hosting server. Therefore I need to get this thing done from the code. I have tried following tricks but none of them worked.

1) set the HTML meta tags

META HTTP-EQUIV=CACHE-CONTROL CONTENT=NO-CACHE
META HTTP-EQUIV=expires CONTENT=-1

2) I have set a cache and removed it before assigning the imageurl

Cache.Insert("image01",Thumb1.ImageUrl);
Cache.Remove(“image01”);

3) Flushing cache each time refreshing

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache)

I am exploring a way to get rid of this issue since three days.
