ThinkTank - Collector: an RSS Aggregator Web Service
Idea: a web service aggregating RSS feeds the way any RSS client does, plus a light WebForm frontend for interaction. One of the goals is being able to retrieve the content of complete RSS feeds without missing posts just because your client-side RSS aggregator is down. This is similar to what Jesse Ezell did with the .NET Weblogs archive but as a WS and with more options to come. A somewhat similar product is the Genecast News Service which converts RSS feeds into Usenet news feeds. See also Bloglines and MyWireService and Feed-Me.Info and SyndiCache and MyBlogroll.

Cross Browser DHTML libraries
Paschal L points to a good ressource:

"Previous posts" link
Why don't we have a "previous stuff" link at the bottom of weblog pages which would give access to the n previous posts?
Is this against the weblogs religion? -
"Move on people (and give me some more money)"
Interesting discussion following a post from the Early Adopters about "Software as a Subscription".

ASP.NET Control, Page and Application execution lifecycle
Erik Porter has compiled links to info on Page lifecycle in ASP.NET. You know, those Load, Init and PreRender events... Well, you'll get a lot more than these if you follow the links!

Easy to find
I don't know whether this is related to my last post about Google AdSense, but I am now the first Fabrice :-)

Google AdSense
I activated Google AdSense on the SharpToolbox. So, come and click!
As usual with Google, the results are pretty relevant. Ok it isn't so difficult, right? Just advertise for a bunch of tools and you're done... -
Want to host weblogs? -> .Text
If you want to run your own weblog or host weblogs, you should definitely give a look at .Text.

Using Annotations with a Typed DataSet, plus a tip for XML formatting
I had already seen an article about annotations and Typed DataSets some time ago, but I lost the link.
I haven't used this yet, but it surely helps to handle null values and schema changes. -
Grand opening
I started collecting tools on my weblog in March this year.
With more than 130 tools as soons as April, I started buildind the SharpToolbox web site in May.
After three months of development and testing on free hosting solutions, the SharpToolbox now has its own domain, and so I can declare the site officially open.
The site now lists 260 tools (including 35 libraries) in 42 categories, and I have more tools in my todo list waiting to be added.
