New year, new article

Well, I *think* yesterday was an official MSFT holiday (I wasn't here, anyway), so today was really the first day of the new year for new headlines and articles. So, we start the year with an article by someone named "Kent Sharkey". He's a (relatively)

The InfoPath less travelled

I've been meaning to learn InfoPath for a while, and the new(ish) Toolkit for Visual Studio .NET, plus Christmas downtime gave me a chance. See the babbling in the full post. You've been warned -- I know, hard to believe I'm supposed to write for a living.

The Microsoft ASP.NET v1.1 Membership Management Component Prototype contains classes that allow a developer to more easily authenticate users, authorize users, and store per-user property data in a user profile. The authentication feature validates and

YABRT: Yet Another Blog Ranking Tool

While browsing my Bloglines subscriptions, I see that there is yet another tool available for monitoring the "importance" of blogs -- PubSub . From their site: LinkRanks are a measure of how many pages link to each particular site, with more weight given

ClickOnce from the RDs

Sorry, this actually went live on the 1st, but I'm a little behind. The latest article from the Microsoft Regional Directors (in this case Mauro Sant'Anna of Brazil) has been posted: Deploying Windows Forms Applications with ClickOnce

NOAA Way -- the Web Service

Looking at my news items this morning, and what do I see? NOAA (the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency, aka, the Weather Guys) now has a Web Service available (sadly RPC/Encoded) to get the weather. Details here . WSDL here . Party on your desktop

We have many questions...

Scott Mitchell 's latest playpen is something I've been looking to find for a while -- a FAQ system built on ASP.NET. Multicategory, pumps out RSS feeds, what else could you want (besides a download) So far, it looks pretty r0xx0r (sorry, I've been spending

Duncan has been working on our new RSS generation system . The new one he's created should be more flexible, accurate and up-to-date. He's looking for feedback on the new format as well. There are two changes we're really interested in feedback. First,

Dino visits Bedrock...

Dino brings you his latest -- an excellent article discussing using inheritance to add features to common ASP.NET classes, like the Page class. He shows how you can add page refresh, long process handing and more to *all* your pages in one fell swoop.

Hunting grounds

In my ongoing attempt to fix my “work/life” balance [1], I decided to start playing City of Heroes [2]. Like many MMORPGs (non-RPG geeks: stay tuned, there will be a code reference later) there are 'hunting grounds' in CoH. Hunting grounds

Forget Babelfish, now there's BabelCode!

Neat link from the good folk @ Borland -- an experimental C# to Delphi Convertor , done as a Web Service (and ASP.NET page ). Had to try it, so I grabbed a little C# from the C# FAQ (I'm not on my dev box right now). End result: type Test = class strict

Firefox & Netscape 7.1

One of the support questions I got this week was around my favourite browser (and the latest Netscape one) and ASP.NET. ASP.NET 1.1 doesn't recognize Firefox by default. It therefore doesn't set the Browser[“css2“] property appropriately,

Don't you just love it when code works?

Result of this afternoon was strangely satisfying: private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { RssClient c = new RssClient(); c.LoadOpmlFile(http://weblogs.asp.net/opml.aspx); this.textBox1.Text = c.GetRss(); } That took a little while

That's cool -- we need that

It's Saturday night -- what do losers like Kent do? Poke around, trying to learn PHP. I just came across something that is probably old news -- PEAR (the PHP Extension and Application Repository). It's an application, a database, and more. 5 minutes after

not Dr. Gui, but Dr. Ex

Old news (he/she/it already has 4 posts), but if you have Visual Studio Extensibility questions, ask the Doctor ... TTFN - Kent
