  • Adventures in .Net Addins...

    So I've begun the task of building an addin for VS.Net 2003. I plan on entering it into Roy Osherove's Coolest Addin contest: (which can be found here). I've using a minor technical expertise I acquired a while ago to do this (watch here for more info... I'm not telling you what it is yet... although...
  • Gotdotnet Workspaces Rant...

    The other day I went onto gotdotnet... I was actually searching for the DAB v3 (Data Access Block) to see where the project was at (and I was considering using it over the v2 release. One of the items that returned from the search was something that I find somewhat cool. It's a project that is trying...
  • If coding were dangerous...

    Today, I finally caught up with my Rory reading... actually I have been putting off reading Rory's post on Carpentry Vs. Coding . I was thinking that it would be a comparison of how the programming field is like the construction industry. To my surprise (I guess I should be used to Rory going off in...
  • Quiet

    Ok, when I said “kinder and gentler” on Friday I didn't necessarily mean “quiet.” I've been a bit busy lately (the weekend was busy as was Monday...) My desk moved over the weekend (I'm finally acclimated). I'll try to get back to my daily posting soon... (it's not like you're...
  • A kinder and Gentler Jay...

    I just deleted the “Open Source” posts, I had written a couple weeks ago (not sure when I wrote them now). Neither post came out exactly like I wanted, and the appeal of the dark path of flaming was too hard to resist. What caused my change of heart was I was thinking back to some of Scoble...
  • testing secure pages with jsUnit

    I just started using the jsUnit testing framework. While the docs are pretty good, I ran into a few problems. The biggest problem is that what do you do if you want to test javascript running on a page that is in a secure area of your site (I don't mean https I mean logged in), and you are testing field...
  • A question about refactoring

    I have a quick post about something that I did yesterday. I'm converting a group of pages over from ASP to ASP.Net. I was refactoring my code by moving some elements from my pages to the base page (my base page is located in another project in the solution). I found that I was copying and pasting a lot...
  • Design Tool dreams... Revisited

    Ok, yesterday , I wrote about my dream modeling tool. I've had no suggestions/responses, but I may have an idea that may do what I want. I need to investigate the Visio object model and see if it is possible to use Visio as the modeling tool (and then either use a Visio or a Vs.Net add-in to interpret...
  • Design Tools that I want...

    Ok, I think I'm dreaming here (but maybe someone will tell me that this exists). Last week, I was reading Chris Sells post on killing code ... It reminded me of an idea I've had (that recently has solidified). I want a modeling tool (like Visio) that lets me draw/diagram a process (or object model, etc...
  • Animal Kingom...

    Saturday my family and I went to Disney's Animal Kingdom park (here in Florida). I love Disney parks, and had heard to avoid this one (as a waste of time). I've also been hearing that Disney is trying to fix the park, so I figured that we would give it a shot (we bought a 4 day park hopper pass back...
  • Remote Scripting with ASP.Net... Not!

    Ok, I just recently saw an article over on www.codeproject.com . I actually have a better method (although it needs some developing). Remote Scripting is a way that you can use Javascript to contact another page on the web server and “remotely call” a routine on that page. My method involves...
  • shout outs...

    I want to do a couple shout outs this morning... The nameless MVP speaks, Rob Teixeira - the MVP that I work with. He's finally started a blog (yesterday, it appears) http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/devprime/ I also want to say hey to my buddy Dana (d.code) http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/dcode/ (Dana...
  • Securely Transfer Session between classic Asp and ASP.Net

    [Sorry for the re-edit, a co-worker pointed out a small problem in my grammar] In my day job (at a nameless fortune 500 company). I work on a top secret app that let's the executives of the company monitor different aspects of the company globally. It's the type of thing that our security department...
  • Clarity...

    [Made a small change... Protégé was (still) mispelled... oh for a spell checker in .Text] It's about 7:10 Am my time (east coast).... ( Warning this post may seem to be a little disjointed ) I'm going to have to get ready and head out, but I want to post something that I've been thinking about...
  • 15 Minutes of Fame...

    Thanks Rory and Don for giving me my 15 minutes of fame . (Actually I'm also on the Scoble experimental blog thingy as well -- via Rory). I made a post on his blog Friday about the .Net Rocks show, and he notices my entry about “misleading the college graduating masses.” Next thing I know...
