Disclaimer
As the DotNetWeblogs have now moved to ASP.NET weblogs and are hosted by Microsoft, I felt necessary to add a disclaimer to my weblog to remind that my posts are independent from Microsoft.

Switching to RSS Bandit... not
I'm probably not going to win any friends, but...
I've uninstalled RSS Bandit Beta 5. I did this for a couple of reasons.

switching to RSS Bandit?
Everyone (including me) has been raving for the last month or so about SharpReader (rightfully so).
However, in that same time frame Dare and Torsten have made HUGE strides with RSSBandit. I am actually starting to feel like a kid in a candy store. I am going to play around with RSSBandit over the weekend, but I think I might be making a switch. I really like the tabbed browsing and hitting the space bar to tab through new items (see some more new updates here). Again, Great Work. -

Tips from Scott Guthrie himself
Wow.
This is the cleanest solution to one of ASP.NET most common problems, setting focus:
Scott Guthrie notes in his Blackbelt WebForms presentation:
[Richard Caetano]
Sub SetFocus(ByVal controlToFocus As Control)
Dim scriptFunction As New StringBuilder
Dim scriptClientId As String
scriptClientId = controlToFocus.ClientID
scriptFunction.Append("<script language='javascript'>")
scriptFunction.Append("document.getElementById('")
scriptFunction.Append(scriptClientId)
scriptFunction.Append("').focus();")
scriptFunction.Append("</script>")
RegisterStartupScript("focus", scriptFunction.ToString())
End Sub
The sample is from Scott's new set of slides here.
Richard beat me to it :), Very clean. -
