SMS Task for NAnt using BT SDK
What:
A simple NAnt custom task to send SMS messages using the BT SDK.
Why:
Maybe you want to ping your manager every time the build fails :).
How:
1. Setup the SDK on your PC using my tutorial here. Please note that you need to register your own certificate and generate a wse3policyCache.config file which will be used in the next step.
2. Copy the SMS.Tasks.dll, btsdk.dll, btsdkcomponents.dll, wse3policyCache.config in your Nant/bin directory. -

CodeShare Addin for Visual Studio 2005 (update)
This is an updated version of the CodeShare plugin to work on Visual Studio 2005. I didn't realise that anyone is using it but Travis Laborde recently ping me with the fact that VS 2005 is now released for 2 years now and the tool doesn't work on it. Please note that you don't need to have the older version to get this to work.

NEsper :: Open Source ESP/CEP Engine for .NET
In the MIX of recent product announcements, I almost forgot mentioning another cool thing that has finally arrived in the .NET world. No, I'm not talking about Silverlight but in my opinion NEsper is as cool as Silverlight and this is looking to change the ESP/CEP development in the .NET world.

Method Tree Visualizer :: Fun with IronPython, Cecil and Netron Graph - Part III
As I said in the last post, the output from Microsoft GLEE looked but not ideal and as the method tree gets bigger with more relationships, the diagram gets out of control. Disappointed with that, my further search takes me to the Netron Project, which is a diagramming and graph layout toolkit for Microsoft .NET Framework.

Fun with IronPython & GLEE
I started this exercise thinking about visualizing the methods tree in a diagram. There are several ways to do that. I was planning to use the GraphViz project to render a dot file showing the connections between the methods. But then I found that pydot (python library for wrapping GraphViz) is not yet supported on IronPython and QuickGraph doesn't look like it is updated for some time.

IronPython and Cecil
Inspired by this post by Sam Gentile, I decided to play with Cecil. And this gives me another oppurtunity to use IronPython. The end result may not be very attractive but it has the potential :).

GreenFoot is based on the BlueJ platform which you may already know about. BTW, BlueJ pioneered ( or was it Smalltalk? ) the Object Test bench which is introduced in VS2005.
