  • Adomd.Net (Beta)

    ADOMD.Net is a .NET object model, used for building client data access components, for accessing an XMLA 1.1 compliant data provider, such as that provided by the XMLA SDK.

  • Producing XHTML with ASP.Net

    In the meanwhile, I've recently seen two separate developments which should hopefully reduce the pain of supporting XHTML within ASP.NET. Firstly, a colleague pointed me at the following article on the ASP.NET forums, which is from a company who are producing XHTML Strict 1.0 replacements of the standard server controls (thanks, Kieran!).

  • XDA II for the 1st of November

    New features of the Xda II include:

    • an integrated 640x480 pixels digital camera and full multimedia messaging functionality
    • tri-band capability to enable seamless use worldwide
    • 128MB RAM Memory (up from 64MB)
    • Bluetooth capability
    • a faster processor (Intel Xscale technology based processor at 400 MHz) facilitating faster use and improved battery life
    • improved talk and standby time
    • stored picture caller identification - see who's calling
    • a removable battery enables power users to swap the battery whilst on the move
    • the latest Phone Edition of Windows MobileTM 2003 Software for Pocket PC
    • customer focussed packages for ease of use and understanding

    And the price seems to be cool 349 £ in UK. Not bad at all.

  • Stripping (partially) HTML tags

    Not being a regular expression guru is a sometime frustrating ;-)

    Well this time I think I figured out how to strip the tags from an HTML file, but keeping the <b> <i> !

  • Texts on SQL

    This is a small collection of texts about some features in SQL Server that people frequently ask about in the newsgroups about MS SQL Server. Rather than being a FAQ with many questions with short answers, these are in-depth articles on some of my favourite topics

  • Web Deployment in Whidbey

    Well I can really say that Scott really rocks !

    After my post on the deployment issue, I didn't expect such a clever and fast answer like that !

    Just a pity that I have to endure the same 'painful' process until the release of Whidbey ;-)

    Scott I like the idea that now (indeed in few months ;-( ) I will be able to do my deployment inside Visula using FTP.

    But I am quite happy at the moment to do so with Frontpage extensions, becuase I don't have to open the port 21 on my server, avoiding any security issues.

    Another (good ?!?) question is about Visual SourceSafe. What's happen with the checkin/checkout process and the new deployment tool ?

    To be honest, I don't use myself VSS (I am the only developer here), but I think about my colleagues who still use it.
