ASP.NET - Paging in DataList control and binding generic List to DataList control in horizontal orientation

Paging in DataList control and binding generic List to DataList control in horizontal orientation.

June was very heavy because of work. I could not get time to write a blog post. July looks better as I am free. Client rejected all the efforts I put in the month of June and cancelled the project. I hate clients..!!

Hmmm…Anyways, during that time in June, I had implemented many things which look simple but hard to find on Google. Here is the one. Implement Paging in DataList control.

WCF - The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration.

Today I was getting bored. So just for time pass I was uninstalling and installing IIS repeatedly. Just for fun. Sounds crazy right? But I was doing it.

Finally at the second half my team lead asked me to create a sample WCF service and host in IIS with some useless functionality. J

Well, I created WCF, hosted in IIS. When I browsed .svc page, I received following error –

HTTP Error 404.3 – Not Found

The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

This was the point when I was happy!! J

Cause of the Problem – If you have Visual studio installed, then uninstall and install IIS again, then you will get above error. Due to uninstall of IIS, extension mappings for WCF SVC file were removed.
