I've been getting into this kick on fluent interfaces, and recently posted a blog post about fluent interfaces using XML as an example. Here's a snippet from my post: string result = FluentInterfaceForXml .Element( "root" ) .WithNode( "person" ) .WithAttribute...
I've just discovered something very beautiful in LINQ to SQL (which I already loved before seeing this). This is one of the most difficult problems to overcome using Microsoft SQL Server, and the solution that the LINQ team came up with is very clean...
Last night I finished my 30th article on Eels: Creating Custom Configuration Sections In ASP.NET ... tell me what you think. It's funny, when I went to www.asp.net this morning I saw that Rob Meade (another author on Eels) got published on the front page...

Recently (actually about 4 hours ago) I wrote a blog post about how to fake URL re-writing in ASP.NET. In fact, I even used that method on Eels for a long time as a very lazy work around until I decided how I wanted the structure of things to work. So...
SingingEels.com has a custom article engine and a custom blog engine which, like many others, uses a database to store the entries, but accesses them through friendly "named" urls such as : http://www.singingeels.com/Articles/Custom_Controls_And_Control_Builders...
