  • .NET Tools List Update

    "We now have more than 130 items in the list! That makes a lot of tools for us to use. What is still missing from our toolbox? With all these tools (not counting the components and libraries), we have no excuse for bad software ;-)"

  • Forrester Likes Central

    "Forrester believes that [Macromedia] Central will have a major impact on three application environments:

  • Cut and Paste

    "BTW, I have been working on a much better blog editor. Anyone know if it is possible to tell "paste" to just keep the carriage returns and drop all of the other style formatting?"

  • How long is it going to be before .NET has components for Analysis Services?

    This is just a rant on .NET with OLAP.  I am currently working on a project with OLAP and .NET for my work.  The pain in the butt side is getting the two to talk.  I am currently combining OLEDB.Net and so of my own XML parsing to create a usable document for displaying results.  I chose this route so I didnt have to Interop with ADO.old because I believe in moving into the future without looking back :).  So the overall gist of this is, when are we going to see SqlAnalysisServiceAdapter?

  • Rss Error

    "Don't know if anyone noticed, but there's an error in the RSS feed.

  • Viewstate (2)

    "OK Jesse, but what's happen after a postback ? If I need to keep the value? And why can I read the value of the Control viewstate in debug mode, and not from my code?

    So far, the best solution has to be an hidden input box, and it works very well.

    Until I can read somewhere a clear article on how to use Viewstate properly between controls"

  • NLucene

    "I also implemented a search feature on the root site. You can find it here. This is just temporary, I have a couple other items up my sleeve, so I hope to make this much better in future. I still have to write something to repopulate the index, so until I can do that, it will be updated once or twice a day manually. (btw, if you are interested, the search is done using the NLucene project)"

  • .net Weblog Archive: Filter

    "I really like Jesse Ezell's .net Weblog Archives (even though he didn't spell my name right at first! :) Here's my feature request: Filtering. I already subscribe to many of the currently archived feeds. I'd love to be able to filter those out of the RSS feed. Since RSS retrieval is a simple GET, the list of filtered feeds would need to be stored on the server side. Or you POST up the list of filtered feeds and get back the filtered aggregate RSS. Aggregating and archiving RSS seems to be hot right now, so a standard mechanism for filtering would be appreciated. My vote: lets expose a web service to retrieve aggregate RSS information."

  • Etiquette

    "I've read several bloggers who have their own opinion of what constitutes blog etiquette, but is there an accepted definition?"
