After a couple of hectic weeks and a couple of extremely hectic days I've finally moved out of my flat and I'm ready to go for a 4 week vacation to Cuba tomorrow. (See my about pages for a little more details).

Every time I get the time to sit down and get into some part of the framework or VS.NET that I don't know well i deeply regret not having done that before.

I've just finished setting up my new Dell D600 notebook, and as always surprises occur. I was about to edit my typed dataset XSD file when nothing happened in VS.NET 2002. The XSD designer would not open. I then tried to add a new dataset to the project to manually move the schema. Then I got this nice message:

If you look up the DataRow class in the .NET Framework documentation you'll see this:

I've been using GDN Workspaces since day 1 with VS.NET integration. I simply love it!

Page contains descriptions of my software development projects; past, present and future projects. As I get the time, I will write thorough descriptions on all projects and maybe also include some documentation.

Today I somewhat unvolunteerily dove into System.Security.Cryptography. It became a shortstory and i picked up several useful pointers on the way. I finally got a cryptoclass together that is supposed to be pretty safe according to secure sources.

Sending password and such over remoting feels a bit unsafe. In the first release of the user management system I'm working on, this was not a top priority to cover, but sooner than first assumed I had to implement cryptography in each end of the line. I am no big cahuña on crypto and frankly all these terms scares me a bit. SHA. DES & TripleDES, MD5, DSA, RSA, Rijndael and more. It's a whole new world of TBA's. I read that the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithms were the coolest ones, so I went with Rijndael.
