Greetings, It is official - the countdown to launch has begun! During my Tech.Ed keynote this morning, I announced that SQL Server(TM) 2005, Visual Studio ® 2005 and BizTalk ® Server 2006 will launch the week of November 7. This will be the biggest launch ever for these products, and we're...
My friends and former co-workers/boss and I created .NET Refactor to help us refactor some of our code and it turned into a pretty cool product pretty fast. Les is the man when it comes to writing Visual Studio .NET Add-Ins and Brian is the man that never met something that couldn't be parsed. Well,...
I'll be speaking at two different code camps in the near future - the one in Atlanta and the one in Charlotte. Code camp is really cool even though they let people like me talk there - they have to allow the token dork make a speech. If you aren't familiar with Code Camp , check this out because it's...
Well, it's happened to my on a few machines so I figured I'd mention it. You're going along, your ASP.NET apps are working fine other than the bugs you've coded in them, and then you reboot one day and poof - as soon as you try to compile you get a “Unable to start Debugging” error message...
Ok, so you have probably already heard about all of the controversy my homey KC caused with his Captcha beater. He posted his suggestions on how to make Captcha stronge, which are provided below: render the characters with different colors make some characters darker than the background, and some lighter...
Well, I finally bit the bullet and purchased my site from Brinkster. I'm going to be hosting blogs for a few of my disaffected DNJ friends - but well, due to the nature of the site - I'm not handing them out to everyone - If I know you, or you can convince me your not a dork, or if you're a dork and...

This is one of many gems in Mihn's killer book Visual Studio .NET Tips and Tricks. But today was a prime example of how cool this is. I had a whole slew of variables that were marked as Private but needed to be marked as protected instead. Also, I had to change all of the corresponding methods that referenced...
Hardly the most scientific based analysis - but it makes the point: I've just started getting back into the 2.0 Framework and came across my old friend the linked list. The linked list was one of those data structures that was actually fun to program in C++, mainly because it was really cool and hyper...
Just saw Sahil's from Sahil. Well, I've uncovered something really interesting. It seems that the Spammers are using other posts, for instance on ADO.NET 2.0 - posting stuff that's related enough that it doesn't set off the stink detector - but posting BuyPhentramineNow in their names. I noticed that...
Originally, I was going to title this Newsgroup a-holes. But I decided to sound a little more European and opt for Cowboy instead. What is a Newsgroup Cowboy you ask? Well, it's someone who runs their mouth first, and then thinks about it later. Here are some great examples: Q: I'm getting connection...
