File recovery on Windows 7

This morning, I accidently deleted a complete folder on my Windows 7 machine. I automaticly use SHIFT-Delete, so I could not Restore the folder and documents from the Recycle-Bin :(

Looking for tools I discovered the Recuva tool from PiriForm. I downloaded the Portable version, so without installer. Extracted the zip on another drive and selected my drive where the folder was accidently deleted.

Thanx to the Recuva tool, I now have all my documents back ! It just worked..

Debugging in ASP.NET

During a show of .NET Rocks, I heard about Tess Ferrandez, a Microsoft escalation Engineer. On her blog "If broken it is, fix it you should", she tells about debugging and even has .NET Debugging demos on her site.

These are all about:

• Hangs
• Crashes
• Memory/Leaks

On her blog you really learn a lot about debugging.
