The Demise of NDoc and A Challenge For Users Of Open Source Software
My goodness. Today is Open Source News Day for me.
Read MoreSource Available vs Open Source vs Free Software
It is a common notion that there is a lot of ambiguity and disagreement around the term Open Source. While that has been true in the past, I believe that there is much more consensus now because the term has been refined and the taxonomy of software has been improved. Certainly there are still arguments, but I believe for the most part, there is a detente.
Read MoreSubtext 1.5.2 Minor Bugfix Release
The Subtext
team is currently furiously working to prepare the Subtext 1.9
Daedelus release for your blogging enjoyment. Subtext 1.9 will run on
ASP.NET 2.0 in Medium trust and contain a few new goodies, though those
goodies have been kept to a minimum as the goal was to create a straight
port to ASP.NET 2.0. The release date has not been set since my day
job and another minor side project
has been keeping me busy. My hope is to release somewhere around the
first or second week of August.

Read MoreWashington Mutual Upgrades to ASP.NET
My company has a small business account at Washington Mutual. I handle a lot of our banking via the online banking website. For several months now, their online banking website has been an absolute pain to use. After logging in I would be unable to access features that are kind of important such as…oh…I don’t know… the register and bill pay!
Read MoreVelocIT Logo Design Case Study
When we
started VelocIT, one of the early
tasks we had was to develop an identity. Identity development is an
ongoing process that is really never over. Typically it starts with a
flurry of identity building, then it tapers off as real work takes
precedent. Every few years though, the process ramps up again as
companies reinvent themselves or freshen their “look” for the next
decade.
Resharper Can Preview XML Comments as HTML
Golly gee whiz but you learn something new every day. I was a big fan of Quickdoc viewer as a means to quickly view an HTML rendering of your XML comments directly from within VS.NET.
Read MoreBiking Ballona Creek
Yesterday afternoon
the wife and I took a bike ride along Ballona Creek. Now the word
creek might conjure up an image for you of tall brushy trees on grass
shores following the languid contours of a water way occasionally broken
up by a small rapid or waterfall. Maybe the picture on the right
reflects that vision.
ASP.NET 2.0 Client Validation Javascript Bug

Read MoreThe Solution To The Landfill Problem
You probably
didn’t know this, but this blog is more than a technical blog. It is
also your source for solving all the world’s problems. For example,
there is the age old question, “Where did the matching sock go?” Did you
notice the extra amount of lint in the dryer? Problem solved.

Subtext skin you use for your blog. Please leave a comment with the skin

Anyone Need A .NET Open Source Rss Library
More On Medium Trust and Trackbacks
In my last
post,
one of the restrictions listed when running in medium trust is that HTTP
access is only allowed to the same domain. It is possible in web.config
to add a single domain via the originUrl
attribute of the <trust>
element as described by
Cathal.
Configuring Log4Net with ASP.NET 2.0 in Medium Trust
UPDATE: Mea Culpa! It seems like Log4Net has no problems with medium trust and an external log4net file. I have written an updated post that talks about the problem I did run into and how I solved it.
