RSS Feeds in Outlook 2007 - Part 2. Bye bye Outlook
The other day, I posted about my issues with Outlook 2007 and its handling of my RSS feeds. I tried a number of things to fix it, the latest effort being to export all my feeds, delete all of them from Outlook, then re-import. Didn't work, dates were still all wrong.

"Thoughtex" released. Nice WPF App.
Joseph Cooney has released his first version of a "mind mapping" piece of software written in WPF. Joseph had me do some alpha testing on some earlier versions and its a real quality piece of code. Nice to use, nice to look at. I'd encourage you to give it a look, and provide some feedback to Joseph so that future versions are made even better.

Website update with AJAX, WPF Password Manager, and Web Client Factory
Couple of things in this post. Firstly (and long overdue), I have updated my personal website to get rid of the Atlas CTP functionality and replace that with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 features. There is not much actually a few update panels, and the inclusion of an AJAX Control toolkit control, the Accordion on the front page to help with useability and screen real estate.

A user experience only a mother could love

Secure TextBox Updated
There has been quite some interest in my SecureTextBox control that I developed. Basically it offers textual entry via a standard textbox, but uses the SecureString as its internal storage. Typically aimed at entering passwords and similar secure information on a windows form.

SecurePasswordTextBox - A textbox that uses the SecureString class
In a previous post, I mentioned that I was working on a small side project to develop a version of a standard Winforms textbox control that utilises the SecureString class from the System.Security namespace in .Net V2. Well I have finally released this 'SecurePasswordTextBox' control for others to use and comment upon. It comes with full source code so you can see what I have done. Note that I have not done anything particularly elegant in the way it handles textual input, however its small, and works for the very brief testing I performed.
