This year I was able to attend Microsoft's PDC 2008. There were tons of fantastic sessions that I was unable to attend. One of the great things that Microsoft did with the PDC this year was to make the session videos available to everyone within twenty-four hours of the presentation. That's great but what if you wanted to download all of the session for offline viewing? Luckily for us Luciano Evaristo Guerche has made a tutorial to download all of the session videos and PowerPoint decks. Essentially, it involves a FireFox plug-in called DowThemAll to download all of the session...
As I mentioned in my previous post I'm in the middle of moving a blog from MSN Spaces to my Community Server site. Of course there were some issues to resolve. You first need to turn on e-mail publishing for your MSN Spaces blog. You cannot use the MetaWeblog API without it. You can turn it on by following the steps documented in the Getting Started with the MetaWeblog API for MSN Spaces page. Note: you may have to use Firefox to do this. No lie. While using IE6 an error kept popping up on me. Weird.
Next you will have to download the XML-RPC dll. Unzip the...
I see that you've found my new technical blog. Welcome. Just so you know I'm using Community Server 2.0 as the software for this blog. I have loaded all of the posts in the Tech category on my personal blog at www.jorriss.com on this site. To do this I was able hook into the Community Server web service, loop through my technical blog posts (stored in .Text) and load each post. I wasn't worried about the comments or referrals since I wasn't going to remove the original posts from jorriss.com. This way, I get a fresh blog with all of my...
For almost four years I’ve been using Rockford Lhotka’s CSLA. CSLA or the Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture is a framework to build business objects. It’s a powerful architecture that provides many different features for middle-ware objects (automating validation logic, n-level undo, and databinding support just to name a few). Personally, I wouldn’t start an application without it. Rocky has updated the framework once again this time with version 2.0. It includes better validation (it also breaks some of my code, thanks Rocky), authorization support and updates to the data portal. As usual Rocky has updated his books Expert VB 2005 Business...
Somehow I missed this. I use the Component-based Scalable Logical Architecture (CSLA) to build business objects. We also use CodeSmith for object generation. Developer Cole Shelton has created a CSLA Object Generator that use CodeSmith on the backend to generate business objects. The generator allows you to create multiple objects and you can base your objects on more than one database table. I will be testing this guy shortly.
