Basic HTML

Dana Sallow wrote me a note:

“Hello – I read your page markohoven.com/2020/05/15/css-stylesheet-selectors/ and have two words: incredibly useful! I loved the HTML-related resources you mention there. I shared your post with a co-worker, and he shared with me a very helpful guide on how to use HTML. https://www.websiteplanet.com/blog/html-guide-beginners/ Since your readers might need this for either their work or personal life, I do believe they’ll find it useful if you add it to your page. Thanks again for the resource! Best, Dana.”

System.NullReferenceException: ‘Object reference not set to an instance of an object.’

A happy error while coding in visual basic, vb.net
It is not the line where you get this error, but something that happened before, that made one of your variables invalid and unusable.

Read this. (@ NullReference Exception — Visual Basic)

Breakpoint will not be hit?

Visual Studio Community edition is great… except sometimes you get an error like “The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document.

Whats’s going on? And how to solve? Google! and find this, except it sounds too complicated. Simply go into your menu:

- Debug
- Options
- General
AND: Remove the check-mark for "Enable Just My Code"

That’s all folks!
Have a nice day…

IDE1006 Naming rule violation

Thank you visual studio with your strange default settings, causing the error/warning all throughout my code: “IDE1006 Naming rule violation: These words must begin with upper case characters”.

Go Google, find this, and solve it actually like so:

  • By going to Tools > Options… > Text Editor > Basic > Code Style > Naming
  • Click ‘Manage Naming Styles’, add new style ‘camelCase’ (or whatever else you require), and save.
  • Set the Required Styles to camelCase and save by clicking OK
  • Thank You Microsoft!

Have a nice day!

Icepay cURL 60 SSL problem

To be precise, the error is: “Unable to reach the ICEPAY payment server (60):SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

The solution could be:

curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

or, which also works in my case:

curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

Of course bypassing SSL security is never the correct option, but for a development server we all make exceptions sometimes.
Have a nice day!
