ASPInsiders - Who the heck are they?!
I've been involved with electronic based communities for nearly 20 years now. It all started a long time ago while living in Seattle. I discovered BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems). I found myself spending nearly 6 hours everyday dialing into one BBS after another. A couple friends and I got together and evolved a room based system to one that would automatically dial other (matching) BBSes and swap messages. Soon, we had a network of 25 BBSes from San Diego to Vancouver, BC.

Community Starter Kit Transmorgifies
I just wanted to take a moment and say that the CSK is now transmorgifying to a new product called the GotCommunityNet Web App (GCN for short). You can find it on the web at http://www.gotcommunitynet.com . Source code (C# based), news and more can be found at http://www.gotdotnet.com/Community/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx?id=39959859-68b5-4f5e-bd85-c1a8555e39a9

XML Driven Wizard in C#
I am putting together a Wizard Form - you know, the type that asks many questions in a sequence - in C# for Windows UIs. So far, it seems to be working out quite well. The basic form of my XML is something like:
-
Useful .NET Links
-
Deliver SQL Data As Web Services
Just read an intereting article. Now I need to go see if I can do this and maintain the needed security. ;-)

How to: Call a C# Windows Form from a VB6 application?
OK. Here is the problem space: I need to prove the concept of step-by-step migration from VB6 to .NET (Windows application). To accomplish this, I would like to take a small piece of the application (new functionality) and do it in a C# Windows app *that can be hosted within a framework inside of the VB6 app*...
I was on a project with another company (short term) where they had done this. I am not sure how they hooked into the VB MDI form but they had. They had built a container form (VB6) that hosted the C# form(s). It worked very well and allowed them to continue moving that piece of the application forward in .NET while maintaining the other pieces in VB6. As time permitted, they would redo an entire chunk into .NET. The plan was to have the entire thing ported in 12-18 months while not losing ground with an entire re-write.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
