Recently, Google made available the “Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.” This add-on enables consumers to “indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.” We agree that making it easy for consumers to protect their privacy is good, and Internet Explorer offers a variety of features to help keep you in control of your information when visiting websites. In this post, we describe how to use some of these built in features to accomplish the same outcome without installing a Browser Helper Object and the Google Update Service.

The SQL Server team just announced the release of their latest PHP driver for SQL Server. Details about the release can be found at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlphp/archive/2010/08/04/microsoft-drivers-for-php-for-sql-server-2-0-released.aspx.

A major highlight of this release has been the introduction of PDO drivers for SQL Server. This means the PHP application developer now need not care about database but rather focus on the application code.

Sometimes you want to check if the network is up in your application, there is a built-in function for that : NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable()

the problem with GetIsNetworkAvailable is that it incorrectly always report TRUE if a loopback adapter is present. It also report TRUE if a “VirtualBox Host-Only Network” adapter is present.

So I have written the following function in Visual Basic (vb) to replace GetIsNetworkAvailable :

Function IsNetworkAvailable() As Boolean
    IsNetworkAvailable = False
    Dim AllAdapters As NetworkInterface() = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
    Dim Adapter As NetworkInterface
    For Each Adapter In AllAdapters
        If Adapter.OperationalStatus = OperationalStatus.Up And
            Adapter.NetworkInterfaceType <> NetworkInterfaceType.Loopback And _
            Adapter.NetworkInterfaceType <> NetworkInterfaceType.Tunnel And _
            Not Adapter.Name.Contains("LoopBack") And _
            Not Adapter.Name.Contains("VirtualBox Host-Only Network") Then
            IsNetworkAvailable = True
        End If
    Next
End Function
