ASP.NET MVC and ORM Selection

We are getting ready to begin redevelopment of a large aging internal enterprise application. We have decided to use ASP.NET MVC, but under consideration is which Object Relational Mapping (ORM) to choose. There are of course a multitude of open source and paid ORM implementations available. However, NHibernate seems to hold the largest mindshare, while the Entity Framework is the new hotness from Microsoft.

Using an IHttpAsyncHandler to call a WebService Asynchronously

Here’s the basic setup. We have an ASP.Net WebForms application with a page that has a Flash application that needs to access an external Web Service. Due to (security I presume) limitations in Flash (don’t ask me, I’m not a Flash expert at all), we can’t connect to the Web Service directly from Flash. The work around is to create a proxy in ASP.Net that the Flash application will call, which will in turn call the WebService and forward the results back to the Flash application.

Dynamically Added Event Handler Not Firing

Here is a quick code snippet, that doesn’t seem to work at all for me. I’m reading from a file to create a list of radio buttons. The problem is that when one of the radio buttons is clicked the Event Handler I have set up in the code doesn’t fire. I have tested it over and over in debug mode with line breaks… all with no luck. Am I missing something obvious here????
