  • One Last VisualBlogger Test Post Before Beta

    Testing a fix for a bug in .Text's category posting ability. There WILL be a be a beta before the end of the day tomorrow. I spent all day today tying up loose ends, and making sure that, in most cases, posts won't get lost. I also had to move some of the settings to an app.config file. I have a lot more work to do in the "Settings" capabilities, but that will have to wait.

  • MS Provider Model Implementation Test Post

    Working on VB2004 again, and I just moved the providers outside the main assembly, and I'm now using the Provider Model the way Microsoft intended it to be used. (I think). We're about to find out if I did it right. There were no compile-time errors, now lets see if there were any run-time errors.

  • My First (And Last) Experience With ComponentOne

    I'm going to take off my component vendor hat for a minute, and talk about my experience as a customer of ComponentOne. I'm going to try to be objective about this here, and over on my corporate blog, I'll talk about how that experience will alter the way my own company does business.

  • Provider Model Test Post

    This is a post testing the new provider model usage in VisualBlogger 2004. I've abstracted the system out, using a modified version of ScottW's .Text object model, so that I can map internal Entry objects into external objects as necessary. This particular test is using the primary DotText95BlogProvider, which uses the http://weblogs.asp.net/yourblog/services/aspnetweblog.asmx web service entry point. This one is still live in all distros, and has more functionality than the SimpleBlogService. It will be superceded by the dottextapi.asmx web service in .Text 0.96, but for now this works well.

  • Screenshots and Update for VB2004

    Made some major headway in the past 24 hours, so I thought I'd show off where we're at so far. As soon as Jamie Cansdale gets back from his week-long ski trip (lucky bastard), I can wrap up the VS.NET integration code. Just so you know, VisualBlogger 2004 will operate in two modes: Standalone and IDE Integrated. You'll be able to use this program just like Microsoft Word if you want, or you can dock it in the same place as the Output window in VS.NET, and blog from the dev environment. You could even use it as a real simple HTML editor if you want. We don't have any table support yet (don't know if we ever will) but you could always add those in manually.

  • VisualBlogger 2004 Teaser Shots

    I've been working non-stop on VisualBlogger 2004, my new blogging add-in for VS.NET. I got the really nasty code out of the way today, and there isn't much left to do. I wanted to tell you a bit about her, but she's very independent right now, so I'll let her do it instead. Hope you like.
