Possibly the most useful tool available in digital photography is the histogram. It could also well be the least understood. In this article we will look at what a camera histogram tells the photographer and how best to utilize that information.
Virtually every digital camera, from the simplest point-and-shoot to the most sophisticated digital SLR has the ability to display a histogram directly, or more usually superimposed upon the image just taken. (The Hasselblad H1, the latest generation of film & digital capable cameras, can display a histogram on the camera grip’s LCD while the image is separately displayed on the digital back’s LCD.) The 21st Century Light Meter When I teach my landscape and wildlife field workshops and am using a DSLR (which I usually am these days) I am frequently asked why I frequently look at the LCD after taking a shot.

I've used this tip at least thrice, so following Phil's "Rule of Three" it's time to do something with it.
Link to it now, I shall. It would be easy to pass this one up if you're not using ASP.NET 2.0, but this is applicable for ASP.NET 1.x, too. Key points: Sure, the syntax got easier. Instead of the cumbersome: We get to save some strokes and remove the entire confusion around “what the heck is Container.DataItem? But, this isn't all its cracked up to be. Of course the trick is to know...you guessed it...what the heck is Container.DataItem??? Configuration webConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath); ConfigurationSectionCollection webConfigSections = webConfig.Sections; GridView1.DataSource = webConfigSections; In the GridView declaration I included these labels in a template column: <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItem%>'></asp:Label>: Now you can consider yourself early bound.
Tip/Trick: How to Register User Controls and Custom Controls in Web.config - ScottGu's Blog. I've been including this technique in my ASP.NET Tips/Tricks talks the last year, but given how many people are always surprised by its existence I thought it was worth a dedicated tip/trick post to raise the visibility of it (click here to read other posts in my ASP.NET Tips/Tricks series). Problem: In previous versions of ASP.NET developers imported and used both custom server controls and user controls on a page by adding <%@ Register %> directives to the top of pages like so: Note that the first two register directives above are for user-controls (implemented in .ascx files), while the last is for a custom control compiled into an assembly .dll file. Once registered developers could then declare these controls anywhere on the page using the tagprefix and tagnames configured. Solution: ASP.NET 2.0 makes control declarations much cleaner and easier to manage.
You can declare both user controls and compiled custom controls this way. Hope this helps, Scott P.S.
