Hi all,
Just a small question for ya all. Does anybody have any tips on Index Server in combo with asp.net.
I need to search in Word documents and PDF files. These files will be uploaded and then index server should index them. Beyond this point I am lost as I have absolutely no experience with Index Server.
Any tips, links, hint, articles, code examples are welcome :-)
Since I started my own business on the first of januari I haven't really had a day off. Just worked and worked making long days and weekend ( what are that for days, just days when you are not able to reach your contacts). But it is all worth it. At least in my case. Having full support from my formal employer, a diect marketing buro, and a friend, having his own advertising company, I am few of the lucky onces that can survive the first year :-)
Just one more day and I am of to France for a couple of days of flying.
Hopefully my instructor will bring me the stuff. A new Swing Mistral 3. I want to fly this thing. Flying razor sharp but seems also very relaxed in turbulence.
I hope there will be some thermals I can pick and end up at 500 above start and then start 'playing'. Had to do much talking and putting pressure on the insurance company to get me insured in case I am disable to work for a while...
The speaker-team, commentators for the motorized sports in Zandvoort and Assen, needs a new website. The ideas were already half a year old but know we are really building it up.
Hopefully I will finalize it before the start of the dutch racing season at the end of the month. It will hold a weekly column with various known and also unknown drivers of the various classes, a gallery, the racing calendar and of course some introduction of the speaker-team itself. (I am NOT one of them :-)) All of course with content management but at least I have a common setup I can use for various small projects. I know it is not a big deal to have all this but having even no time to build up the own site it is time to get some side products on the shelf.
I guess most developers that work innovative and heading in directions that almost nobody takes knows the problem of having the ideas but not yet the functionalities to support the ideas. But when you have the first functionalities you start shaving, shaping and molding the components that hold your idea's.
I had the same with the new framework for the Kids (Tweens) community. I already could define the data object. But I couldn't generate it. Not getting it to generate I couldn't fill it with data. Now I can generate the components, reflect the content management from it, and indeed fill it. Than you notice that it seems to be working but you need to add a whole lot of functionalities in the generated data and inherited functions are needed to get it 'really' working.
So for now I am quite happy. My ideas seem to work ok .. Now the next step, creating the templates for the modules. This will be finalized in ascx components with in-line code, this to be as flexible as one could get with loading functions for the content predefined in the ascx. The winform component that I use as editor is handling very well and content in this editor is very good readable even in quite small fonts.
