Versioning Redux
Frans says:
That's all fine what MS thinks I should do but what I think MS should do is make their IDE able to work with older CLR's so people can choose a new IDE while writing a control for 1.0 or 1.1. MS didn't even bother creating a config file for a library so a library can be made runnable on 1.0 with redirects.
I would have responded in my comments, but I wanted everyone to know this:
The guy I talked to at MS said that redirect policies in the web.config file apply to all subsequently loaded assemblies, including components. This means that your component should run if the user add binding redirects in the web.config. You can also use publisher policy files and register the same binding redirects in teh GAC, but that is much more of a pain. -
I have reached the final straw
Details to follow. Cross item five off this list Excuse me, I have to go break something now.

Can today get any better?
WOO HOO! Man I love getting stuff done. I'm more productive than I've been in months. Oh yeah, and I'm moving to a condo on Monday... ON A GOLF COURSE!!! Nothing like hitting the back 9 to start your day...

Was supposed to post this a while back
Here is the policy that we have adopted for GenX.NET 3.0, and will be using in the future on all components:

My condolences...
to Kirk. I know what it's like to have to lose a friend. My favorite dog was ravaged by Lymphoma and had to be put to sleep. Thhe tumors had pretty much taken over her back, and nearly closed off the passage to her stomach. We didn't find out about it until it was too late.

YAY!!!
Thanks to the FABULOUS help of Daniel Bright, I am now blogging from w.Bloggar. THANK GOD. I was getting really tired of losing killer posts due to an accidental tap of the Backspace key. How annoying. IT HAS SPELL CHECK TOO!! Oh man, this makes me so much happier than I was earlier. Wanna use w.Bloggar too? See Dan's settings here.

*puzzled*
Why did attempting to open one of the .NET Posters cause Acrobat to need a file from the Frontpage 2003 CD, Acrobat to force the client to stay open while viewing a PDF in the browser, and then crash IE when it closed?

WinZip 9.0
A new version of WinZip is out. Now I know, the first thing you're gonna say is "Windows XP has compressed files support". Ever tried deleting files out of an archive? How about deleting non-empty folders? Had a field day with that the other night. Nope I think I'll stick to WinZip.

Anything out there better than .netSHIP?
You know, I really dislike this component. I dislike everything about it. For one thing, the owner has been extremely rude to customers on the ASP.NET Forums. I dislike the support. I dislike the fact that they don't have a free trial. I dislike the fact that they don't have an enterprise license, and the component takes almost 9 hours of work out of my paycheck to purchase. I dislike that the data comes back as a collection and not a DataSet. Most of all, I dislike it because I am relegated to using it because I can't find any other component that supports as many shippers. Have you guys seen anything better, or am I going to have to either force myself to live with my discontentment or write my own?

Just a note, not a war.
Scoble says that VB.NET is not dead, and it's actually picking up some steam inside MS. *whew*. To anyone that said that my career was dead if I didn't switch to C#: "I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries." Hey Scott, name that movie.
