Ugh. I’m using System.Enum’s built-in parsing bits, and I really like ’em. However, why would you provide a case-insensitive option on the Parse method, but not on IsDefined? That makes IsDefined less than useful. Now I have to try to parse and catch an exception if the parse fails, which just makes for ugly code, not to mention the slowdown with the exception handling. I hate it when the framework team does this crap.

HttpResponse.Filter Fun

Stuff I learned about HttpResponse filters and the ASP.NET pipeline today:

Calling Server.Transfer or Response.End will kill the Filter. Anything that calls Response.End() or
Server.Execute passes code through the filter just fine
PreSendRequestHeaders and PreSendRequestContent don’t seem to fire unless you call HttpResponse.Flush()
Fulfilling from the OutputCache causes all the events between AuthorizeRequest and EndRequest to not fire
