It includes several new features, updated documentation, and a few critical bug fixes. You can get more details here.

The Ever Changing Process of Building Processes
So I've been spending the past few days updating the build processes for all the software I've been working on. The problem is that, while I'm not the first person to ever have to build installers for commercial components using the deployment tools in VS.NET, I'm the only one willing to talk about it. Several searches on Google for information on nuances like what an “Environment String Value” is in the Registry Editor have turned up utterly fruitless.

Relief like you can't imagine...
I finally got the merchant account problem squared away. It's not an appropriate post for here, so you can read about the whole ordeal here in my corporate blog. I know the site design needs work, but it's not exactly on my list of priorities right now. This incident caused us to totally change direction on our cash flow situation, and I'll be blogging about that process in my corporate blog over the next few days.

It's All In Your Head
OK, so GenX.NET has been slower to launch than I wanted it to be. WAY slower. Part of the reason was because we've been building the the new “Store” and “MyAccount” sections of the website. Since the hostages have not been freed yet, I've had to start over on a lot of my DB work. But, since the new system runs completely on top of XHEO's yet-unreleased application suite, I haven't had to do a whole lot of DB work thus far. The biggest problem though, has been all in my mind.

XmlTextWriter + StringWriter = Headache
I've come to the conclusion that .NET doesn't really make coding easier (yet), because most Framework classes are incomplete, and use Inheritance as an excuse to leave them that way. Case in point: XmlTextWriter.

StringBuilder Size Algorithm
When I posted about this before, someone noted that cycling through all the items would be a performance hit. Well, as you can see, I'm really only cycling thru the tables in the DataSet, and in the case of the DataReader, I'm only accessing a property that already exists.

"No-Brainer Compatibility" Explained
For several weeks now, I've been talking about various issues in regards to component versioning and Framework compatibility. A few months ago, I got so frustrated by the issues that were raised, that I said I was going to start a task force to solve the problem. This task force was informal and basically consisted of Paul Alexander (XHEO) and I (Interscape Technologies). Over the past 6 months, I have really enjoyed working with Paul, and I am constantly amazed at the work he achieves. Together, we've been able to make some headway in the industry as a whole, and we have several extremely exciting things coming up in the future.
