  • Mail.Net

    Mail.Net
    So I have been brought onto a new open source project, Mail.Net: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mail-net/. Our goal is to combine two projects, the openSMTP.net library, which I wrote and the openPOP library into one mail library for .Net. Future plans include IMAP support but for now we will concentrate on just combing these two into one library and refactoring our current code for this end library.

    The most interesting thing to me is the fact that I am working with two other developers, Hamid Qureshi, from Pakistan, and Wilson Chan, from China. It can be quite tricky to work in conjunction with others around the world because of the different time zones. This will give me some good insight into project management of such a project. We will work together using CVS (hosted at sf.net), web forums, IM, and email. It will be interesting. Both of our projects seem to be popular to developers using .Net. It's not the most cutting edge technology but it's necessary. My hope is to have complete email support in one library that can be used on Mono, which lacks good email classes right now.

  • XHTML ASP.Net Compliance

    I haven't tried this in yet but I found a good article on making the current version of ASP.Net (pre-Whidbey) XHTML compliant: http://www.charon.co.uk/content.aspx?CategoryID=28&ArticleID=53

    Here is another: http://www.liquid-internet.co.uk/content/dynamic/pages/series1article1.aspx
