Introduction I had my intranet site selfsigned before. But the problem with self signing is that the user gets a warning. And of course we all click continue and then you get this.

Let’s say you have a collection and you are only interested in storing the last 50 items or so. Everytime you add a new item, you want the oldest item to disappear. What you can do is create a capped collection. Here are some behaviors that capped collections have Capped collections guarantee preservation of the insertion order. As a result, queries do not need an index to return documents in insertion order.

Introduction I wanted to show my users some prettier errorpages then the default you get from IIS or Nancy. This being the default for Nancy. Because I know you guys like pictures. Of course this was the first time ever in any webapp that I did that, So I had to look certain things up. And I thought this was pretty cool. But of course that’s not how Nancy works.

Thanks to a lovely strike of the taxi drivers in Brussels it took me only 2 hours to get at the location, but hey, the turnout was great, there was beer and pizza and the demo's didn't crash. You can find the demo material from my session here and you can download the slides from SlideShare.

So I have been using Nancy and my IIS is configured to use windows authentication. Now how do I get the current authenticated user onto my webpage. But first of all how do I get the name of the current authenticated user. Well that was the simple part. vbnet HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name And there you have it. Now we all know that we can do this in Nancy with Razor to get the current logged in user when using formsauthentication or basic authentication.
