Greg Robinson's Blog

Why is it I can drop a CD in my CD Player that I have not listened to in 10 years and know every meaningless word to every meaningless song, but I can read a technical book tonight, and forget what I read tomorrow and have to pick the book back up to recall?  Can someone out there start writing songs related to .NET?   Would it not be too cool to navigate over to Amazon, do a search on ".NET CLR" and get 10 hits under Music!!

I read brad's posting http://dotnetguy.techieswithcats.com/archives/002085.shtml and it made me think, why do I blog, why do others blog?  I have to agree with Brad, it is therpeutic.  I also keep a personal blog, http://dotnetrocks.blogspot.com/ ,  so my family and friends can keep up with Amy and I.  Its almost like letting the world know who you are and what you are all about.  I hope this particular blog will get me to blog more about .net, however, I have a long ways to go there!

This is another NewsGator test

This is a test to see if NewsGator is working.

I have spent the past few days setting up a template for building custom controls, using inheritance.  It took me a while to figure this out, but, with the help of some gurus, I now have a nice template.  Here it is for those interested.  Simply replace the Inherits statement with whatever win form control you want to be your base.  I also built a DefaultProperties class which allows me to set the properties for all controls in one place.  I only have this working for Font so far.  Bits and pieces of this are well documented, it just me a while to put those pieces together...yeah, I am a little slow!
