  • User Defined Grid Layouts

    The challenge: Allow users to define the columns shown and order for datagrid displays in ASP .NET webpages. Here is my first stab at a solution. I'm going to create a class object called Employer, with some text fields, a true/false to be displayed as a checkbox, a hyperlink on the company name, and...

  • Netmeeting

    Being it's free and all. Anyone know how I could get netmeeting to automatically enable the desktop sharing option so that I could remotely administer a machine without having to have a user say “yeah, go ahead”? Seems like this would be a much cheaper alternative to pcanywhere

  • Hosting services (dedicated)

    Anyone have any recommendations for dedicated server solutions? I tend to hear good things about Rackspace but I think I'm technically competant enough to not need a fully managed solution. I've been glancing at some offerings from Hostway and Serverbeach , but haven't heard much about them good or bad...

  • Bought a laptop this weekend

    Bestbuy was running 18 months same as cash on laptops. I picked up a Compaq, athlon xp 2800, 512mb RAM, 40GB hard drive for $1150 with a $300 mail-in rebate. That's a pretty decent laptop for the price! I plan on using it for sales presentations and product demos. The geek in me wants to upgrade it to...

  • Leap of Faith

    So I'm sitting here at my full time job pondering on my next steps. It's no secret that I have been in the process of launching my own business, and with my full time job sucking up so much of my time I haven't been able to apply the amount of time I'd like to the business. Interestingly enough I had...

  • Getting the full name from Active Directory

    So we're working on getting a user's full name out of Active Directory services for headers in our webpages. Basically we just want to say "Welcome |your name|" somewhere in the header. We built and tested a class that seemed to work fine, here's the code snippet: public class User { string loginName;...

  • .netcharting tool

    www.dotnetcharting.com I don't have a very warm track record with third party tools. In general, I have found most of them to be pretty complex to use and time consuming to learn to the point where it isn't worth me pursuing them. So I downloaded the developer trial of dotnetcharting's component with...

  • Trying to make that first sale

    So my little home business project is off the ground and ready for that first customer. I sort of fear sales though, and I know that the Google adword campaign I've launched probably won't be enough to bring in some customers. So now I'm thinking about doing some pitching of my services locally. Not...

  • VB Roadshow + Reverse User Group

    Here's my official VB Roadshow report from last night: First I did the reverse user group thing. A few developers were picked to represent the local community to give feedback to the Microsoft representatives. A few things we talked about: - I want it to be an IDE feature that I can take a database table...

  • Dumbest thing I've ever heard

    Here's a fun one to wrap your brain around. I have a certain female friend, we'll call her jenn for the purposes of this story. A few years ago when I was in college living with several roommates in an apartment, my one roommate had some... plantlife growing in his closet. Because they were in the closet...

  • VB Roadshow Tonight in Albany, NY

    I'll be attending this event and I'll also be attending a reverse-user group before the event where a group of leading area developers will get some face time with some members of the vb team. I'll try to filter out the marketing goo from the subjects of real value and post tomorrow.

  • We are servants!

    I decided that for today's post I would write about a concern I've had with every company that I've worked for in IT. Arrogance, plain and simple. So many IT workers seem to have this holier-than-thou attitude toward their users. (SNL even has a skit about an obnoxious IT guy) Users are clueless, they...

  • A few annoyances

    On the lighter side of things, I felt like sharing some of my annoyances. 1. Programs that have a non-critical event (ie not a catastrophic failure) that grabs focus when said program isn't the current active window. *looks menacingly at his toolbar* If my pc isn't about to melt down, then you stay out...

  • Custom Controls

    Do you people out there in web-land find yourself making alot of custom controls? The place I work in is predominately old school FoxPro with a desire to start moving towards .NET. One of the things they've done is create a cubic ton of custom controls (it's been a very steep learning curve getting into...

  • One step closer...

    #region shameless plug Just registered my business! I'm pretty excited to be throwing my hat into the small business arena. I put a draft of my company site up at http://www.easywebapps.com I already have a few beta clients and I'm probably going to go “public” with the site with google adwords...
