I'm off!
After a couple of hectic weeks and a couple of extremely hectic days I've finally moved out of my flat and I'm ready to go for a 4 week vacation to Cuba tomorrow.

Web Setup Projects
Every time I get the time to sit down and get into some part of the framework or VS.NET that I don't know well i deeply regret not having done that before. Feeling fine with xcopy deployment for a long time, I figured I'd give Web Setup Projects a go, and naturally they're great. This gem at MSDN shows... Read More...

XSD Designer will not open in VS with Office 2003 Beta installed
I've just finished setting up my new Dell D600 notebook, and as always surprises occur. I was about to edit my typed dataset XSD file when nothing happened in VS.NET 2002.

GotDotNet Workspaces Project Stats
I've been using GDN Workspaces since day 1 with VS.NET integration. I simply love it! What would be cool is added functionality for codestats.

Crypto is Cryptic
Today I somewhat unvolunteerily dove into System.Security.Cryptography. It became a shortstory and i picked up several useful pointers on the way. I finally got a cryptoclass together that is supposed to be pretty safe according to secure sources. Hopefully useful reading for some. Read More...

Tables != Classes
Erik fights for the removal of [TableName] from primarykey-names and sets an equal sign between Table and Class. His point about the ID field seems ok, but as I see it, this all boils down to setting a standard and keeping it. In my opinion the naming in the database is somewhat irrelevant because I...

Partial Types potential for ASP.NET2.0
At Lambda the Ultimate it doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm about the new partial type construct in C#. Microsoft is introducing this new feature to enable separation of classes to separate files, thus simplyfing code-generation.

Platformpreference and young people
Martin is speculating about young developers platform preference. Beeing a young developer at 23 and just two months out of school I can somewhat relate to Martins assumptions. Among most "regular computer geeks" in my school there were virtually none that perferred Microsoft technology. They all wanted... Read More...
