The last couple of days I have been playing around with base4 and I have to tell you if you aren't using it now. You should hurry yourself to their site and start downloading.
We are in the process of testing a schema generator that will wrap your existing databases to the base4 schema file.
I have a code reduction of at least 33% with another OR/mapper so that counts in my book.
Hurry to base4.net
People interested in testing the mapper please email me or something.

Some choices made regarding NBlogr

For the development of NBlogr I had to say goodbye to some of my favorite controls.
The idea of NBlogr is that it is Open Source so that means I can't use anything that is not open source / free in my project. I use component arts excellent menu whenever I see fit except for now.
ComponentArt have 2-3 controls in their range that I really like. The other ones aren't really usefull in my case.
I've been using the freetextbox control for 3,5 years now. But the latest versions are...

Tim Haines became a father over the weekend.
Congratulations to the happy family. I wonder if the little one will take after the father and start googling away after a few months/years :)

Make the freetextbox work inside an atlas updatpanel

A while ago I blogged about making the freetextbox work inside an updatepanel. I didn't put the code at that time because it wasn't what it should be.
For the NBlogr engine I do need a working version of that control. And it should work on firefox and internet explorer. Now I have it somewhat working. I thought it would be best to share this, as I'm sure that there are others that are facing the same problem.
You basically wrap it in an iframe so that it loads it's script in a page that ...

To log events/errors in your application, asp.net 2.0 has the healthmonitoring api that lives in System.Diagnostics.
You can get it to log just about anything that happens on your web app. To configure it, it takes you 15 minutes the first time and after that about 2 minutes.
You configure the asp.net services in the sql database.
To run the aspnet scripts on the database : attach the database to sql express via the management studio or something Give it a shorter name.
Then open a co...

I already know where I'll be getting "hobby" projects from because there are some interesting idea's on that site.
Today I had a browse through their blog and found a post where the founder of cambr...

For those of you that are concerned with design patterns for ajax check out this site :
http://ajaxpatterns.org/
I have to say that that site is a real gem. I for one am concerned with usability and am not discriminating so I think the leap to accessibility is only very small. We are planning an application that is ajaxed and should still be completely usable by blind users which will be intresting to build.
In preparation for this i stumbled upon http://www.maxkiesler.com/i...
