Telerik RadUpload + IIS 7.0

If you've tried upgrading from iis6 to iis7 using an old version of Telerik's upload progress control you've probably experienced an internal server 500 error message.

I contacted Telerik to ask what could be done or how to adjust the web.config accordingly, however they replied "The “classic” RadProgressArea does not work in IIS7. Please upgrade to RadUpload for ASP.NET AJAX." Great!

However its actually really simple to get it to work. See below.

Leave

<httpModules>
<add name="RadUploadModule" type="Telerik.WebControls.RadUploadHttpModule, RadUpload.Net2" />
</httpModules>
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.aspx" type="Telerik.WebControls.RadUploadProgressHandler, RadUpload.Net2"></add>
</httpHandlers>


Add the following to the Sytem.WebServer element

<modules>
<add name="RadUploadModule" type="Telerik.WebControls.RadUploadHttpModule, RadUpload.Net2" />
</modules>
<handlers>
<add name="TelerikRadProgress" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.WebControls.RadUploadProgressHandler, RadUpload.Net2" />
</handlers>

<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />

New Zealand Google StreetView Launched!

Google has after much anticipation launched Google streetview in New Zealand. Lucky for me my front driveway actually looks mown! Who said I spend too much time on my computer :).

My general gist is its looks like the Australian streetview (surprise surprise), zooming in produces imagery which is very low resoltuion which kinda sucks but then you'd have the hassle of preying eyes into peoples windows.

I've also seen a few peoples faces which i presume will be blurred out in the coming weeks.

All in all lets thank Google for bring streeview to New Zealand, its certainly going to be another useful tool for searching real estate in New Zealand.
