  • Scoilnet Live !!!


    After one full year of discussions, meetings, and more meetings, and IMHO a very short period of development, 3 months, my new baby Scoilnet  is finally ready. Well it has been a long year but I think it worth it.

    This first release need certainly some more job, but we're getting there.

    I can just say it's really fully Scoil .NET !

    Yahooo !! ;-)

  • TechEd Keynote

    "...A couple other things on SQL Server: Our developer edition used to sell at $499. We're lowering the price to $49, announcing basically today, and that will be embedded -- (applause) -- thank you -- that will be embedded and picked up, we think, by other tools vendors. Borland has already announced that they'll be picking it up and shipping it with their C# development environment...."

  • Weather


    For those who didn't saw this, I have the weather (Dublin) on my blog page.

    Well it's not just a gadget, it's quite useful for me if I want to decide go fishing or stay coding some .Net delicatessen ;-)

    Weird, I can look by the window, but I am working in the basement of the university building and the only light I can see is the one on the ceiling ;-)

    Why bother, after all it's raining almost all the time since Easter (see by yourself on my page ;-))

  • Reflector New version


    New Version 3.0.5.0. The popup window turned into a docking window. Also keeps the decompiler open while browsing. Available at Programming.NET.

    Cool, just hope now to have this as an add-in !

    This tool really save my job few days when my hard drive crashed.

    By the way, it seems that the problem came from the fact that the motor on the hard drive stopped to function :-(

    But thanks Reflector help me to decompile my assemblies, and with few exceptions, I didn't have too much code to rewrite.

  • Disable autocompletion


    Sometime things can be very simple.

    If you write some HTML and don't need VStudio to autocomplete your tags, just exclude the file before editing.

    You should still be able to edit the file but without autocompletion.

  • SQL Blog


    Just for info I blog now also on SQL Blog for talk about guess  ... ;-)

    I will have there all sort of T-SQL scripts and Stored procedures.

    Thanks Salman for the space.


  • Pass an Event from one control to another


    Just a little trick but it will help some developers I presume ;-)

    I have 2 controls A and B on a webpage.

    I raise an  event in control A (like a Dropdown list change for example), and I want to send a sign to the control B that something new happened from the control A.

    Don't bother to write something in one of the controls, just write something like that in your code on the main page (Example in VB for a dropdownlist SelectIndexchanged)

    'Declare the controls A and B

    Protected WithEvents ControlA_ID as MyNameSpace.ControlA
    Protected WithEvents ControlB_ID as MyNameSpace.ControlB
