ClubStarterKit - where do we go?

Wow, what a year. Not exactly what I'd expected. Before I dive into where we are now, let me preface this post by saying I have NOT forgotten ClubStarterKit! Although I was not the original author, I feel like it's my baby. I can't just forget about it...

Source Code conversion as part of a Build Process

If you're like me, you want a particular piece of code in your particular language. For example, a lot of people want the Club Starter Kit 2.0, 3.0 in C# since it has been written in VB. Me being the lazy open source developer that doesn't get paid :...

SubSonic ASP.NET Providers Revisited

It's been quite a while (2 months actually) since I announced the creation of the SubSonic ASP.NET Providers . Since then, I haven't really done much with the code base, mostly since I have to spread my time out between a lot of things now a-days. But...

Determine if a user enables JavaScript

I made a post over on my business' blog about the general concept of my post today, determining if a user has JavaScript enabled. This is sort of a touchy subject since Microsoft has their own AJAX stuff and they pretty much do what they want with that...

Easier way to manage your ASP.NET Cache

I was recently told by a client of mine that the ASP.NET app I developed was WAY TOO SLOW! I had to agree; the site was pinging the database twice on every load of the home page. So I said, "Give me a week... I'll make it work better". I went home feeling...

SubSonic of the day - Collections

I am going to start spreading the goodness of SubSonic. I think SubSonic is sometimes overlooked for flashy things such as LINQ and Project JASPER. SubSonic is in a transition point (which is apparent when reading Rob Conery's blog ), but I think the...

Converting to and from VB and C#

The easiest way to convert from VB to C# or C# to VB is this: learn the language . I am a BIG VB fan. I've been using VB for nearly 6 years, both VB6 and VB as a part of the .NET framework, and I get arround when it comes to VB. But I recently came across...
