Iterate asp.net form validators client side
Tuesday, June 24 2008 - Blog / 2008
I added a client side onclick function to a submit button, but wanted to verify that the form validators were all valid before performing my magic. Unfortunately, you can't change when the validator logic gets fired, so my onclick function always gets processed before the form validation logic. Luckily...
Canada 2008
Sunday, June 15 2008 - Blog / 2008
Around the first week of June, I was able to relax in Ontario, Canada with my brother, dad, dad's friend Larry, and Molly. It was nice to get away for a few days and not be concerned about email, tv, and cell phones. One of the cool things about going up there this time of year is that it remains bright...
Fix for GroupWise MAPI Session Handle issue
Wednesday, May 07 2008 - Blog / 2008
I recently paved a new machine and had to put GroupWise on it. To make a long story short, the machine got into a state where I would receive a message like "The MAPI Session Handle of the Novell GroupWise 'Object Request broker' could not be accessed. The address book cannot run" every time...
The benefits of using Git for source control
Monday, May 05 2008 - Blog / 2008
I was listening to the Hansel Minutes presentation about Git tonight . Overall, it's a very cool overview talk about Git and how it relates to development and existing source control systems. A situation regarding local development came up during the talk that I've personally run into it on pretty much...
Enhanced the Graffiti Extras project
Sunday, April 20 2008 - Blog / 2008
I came across the Graffiti extras project today and decided to modify the sharing portion of it. I added DotNetKicks to the list of social apps and made some other minor updates as well. By far, the trickiest part for me was figuring out how to actually use the extension. Other than that, everything...
VisualSVN Server
Monday, March 31 2008 - Blog / 2008
Wow... well done! I just installed VisualSVN Server and man... the team behind it did an excellent job. If you're looking into setting up a Subversion server in a Windows environment, but have held off because it involves Apache and a service traditionally installed in a *nix environment, look at VisualSVN...
Upgraded to Graffiti
Sunday, March 30 2008 - Blog / 2008
I've been working on moving a few of my websites to the Graffiti platform for a little while. Migrating the old Bia Creations site from WordPress to Graffiti was straightforward and worked flawlessly. By far, the most involved migration was this site, since there were a couple hundred posts that needed...
Licensing component/library for dotnet
Monday, March 17 2008 - Blog / 2008
I've been quite busy with Property Center updates, another project that isn't quite mature enough to be introduced, and consulting . The unfortunate side effect of that is that my blog writing suffers. I have a question for you, though. I am looking for a good .net licensing component. If possible, I...
How to enable pretty urls with Asp.Net MVC and IIS6
Friday, January 25 2008 - Blog / 2008
I've been working with the asp.net mvc bits lately and everything has been going smooth. That is until I tried to deploy to a Windows 2003 server. All of a sudden my pretty urls looked like crap. When it comes to deploying an Asp.Net MVC app to IIS6, you have two options. You can either setup a wildcard...
Cache Util and ServiceBase for SubSonic RepositoryRecord items
Sunday, January 20 2008 - Blog / 2008
I have started working on a project in my "free" time and want to share some of the things I've been playing with. For the new project, I'm planning on using Mvc, SubSonic , Linq, and jQuery to name a few technologies. I'll release more info about the project as it shapes into something more tangible...
