Easier way to manage your ASP.NET Cache
I was recently told by a client of mine that the ASP.NET app I developed was WAY TOO SLOW! I had to agree; the site was pinging the database twice on every load of the home page. So I said, "Give me a week... I'll make it work better". I went home feeling bad... my app was slow and I really didn't know where to begin. I had a lot of code that depended on pinging the database and I didn't want to sift through it all. What I ended up doing was using the cache object.

SubSonic ASP.NET Providers Project (and Announcement)
One of the most common things I see on the SubSonic forums is people asking about the Membership and Role providers running SubSonic. And another common thing I see are people saying they are going to write those providers... but it doesn't happen. So, I did it :) I started writing the Membership and Role providers a few days ago... and I finally finished coding the providers today. And I'm ready to publish!

SubSonic of the Day - The Query tool
By now, you have probably heard of LINQ. LINQ, as you probably know, stands for Language Integrated Query. The LINQ queries you build inside of C# or VB are baked into the .NET 3.5 framework.

SubSonic of the day - Collections
I am going to start spreading the goodness of SubSonic. I think SubSonic is sometimes overlooked for flashy things such as LINQ and Project JASPER. SubSonic is in a transition point (which is apparent when reading Rob Conery's blog), but I think the project still has tons of momentum and is an INVALUABLE resource for ANY .NET developer. If anything, look at the code... it's some good stuff!

Quite The Surprise for ClubStarterKit!
I was just catching up on some RSS feeds and I saw something really cool... the ClubStarterKit open source project was put up on the main ASP.NET site! (http://www.asp.net/downloads/starter-kits/codeplex-club/)

$$$ - The bottom line
I know exactly what you are thinking: this post is about money. NOPE! It sure isn't :) This post has nothing to do with money and everything to do with JavaScript.

Converting to and from VB and C#
The easiest way to convert from VB to C# or C# to VB is this: learn the language.

Quick Intro...
Ahhh... it feels GREAT to have a nice new, blank blog that will serve as my canvas for spreading the Greatness of .NET, ASP.NET, and VB! To start this little adventure out, I thought I would go ahead and introduce myself.
