• Design Time Directory in VS 2005

  I'm currently working on some design time editors, which need to read configuration settings from the web.config / app.config files, located in the main project folder. The main problem is to find the directory of the project. There are some good posts... Posted Mar 20 2005, 09:24 PM by memi with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: VS.NET

• VS 2005 - The road to the (Dark | Client) Side

  While toying around with Beta 1 of the VS 2005, I found myself get intrigued more about the client side apps new features, rather than the new web features. Specifically - I really don't find the new Datasource controls of much help. Since no one (I hope... Posted Sep 18 2004, 08:43 PM by memi with | with 4 comment(s) Filed under: VS.NET

• IIS on XP Home

  Yep, that's possible. My machine had crashed yesterday, and is in the lab right now. Looks like the vent has gone crazy. As usual, I had a really urgent .NET thingy to finish, so I wanted to use my wife's laptop (IBM R40, cute little machine) for this...

• Item Templates in Visual Studio 2005

  One of the first things I've checked in Beta 1 of VS 2005 was the way to customize its item templates. I think this feature in general is one of the best productivity boosters around, and once implemented correctly can reduce development time remarkably...

• VSS and ClearCase on same machine

  Since I'm responsible for .NET and J2EE projects, I have two different IDE on my machine: VS.NET and WSAD (WebSphere Studio Application Developer). I use also two different source control tools: VSS for the .NET, Rational ClearCase for the J2EE. After... Posted Jul 21 2004, 03:03 PM by memi with | with 6 comment(s) Filed under: VS.NET

• VSS - where are we going?

  A recently published article on MSDN talks about the planned roadmap for VSS. I've read through it eagerly, looking for a feature I missed long ago, but to no avail. The feature I'm talking about is the (as called in ClearCase terminology) “Streaming”... Posted Jun 16 2004, 11:08 PM by memi with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: VS.NET

• Back to work!

  I succeeded in making my machine usable again, after the crisis I had with the DevPartner profiler. What I did was to uninstall all the VS.NET and .NET Frameworks I had (2003, 2005, v1.1, v1,2 respectively), and re-install v1.1 and VS.NET 2003. Now everything...

• Beware of DevPartner Community Edition

  Roy posted about a free edition of the DevPartner Profiler. I've downloaded and installed it, and the gates of hell were opened. Looks like the tool installs the .NET v1.0 (!) automatically, without checking what there is already on the machine (I had...

• Finally got Whidbey

  Yes, I joined the happy family. I've installed the Whidbey today (right after I removed the VS.NET 2002, to make more HD space for it. How symbolic...). The setup was flawless, if a bit long... I tried to create a small site right after the installation... Posted Mar 15 2004, 12:49 AM by memi with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: VS.NET

• We don't need no GridView!

  We had today a user group meeting, where we had a presentation about the new features of Whidbey. Already familiar with most of the new features I saw, I was still amazed by the wealth of new features over there, including especially Master Pages, new...
