Recently I switched from using SubText to WordPress as my blog engine. The reason for the switch was to get access to all of the plug ins available, I could have added the functionality, but unfortunately I find myself a bit time starved as of late. In order to prevent all of my old permalinks [...]

In my previous post I had talked about my decision to implement OpenId, and how DotNetOpenAuth worked well for this. In this post I will talk a little about the only issue that I ran into while doing this. The root of this issue had to do with how my hosting is setup for sites [...]

I recently integrated OpenId into a project that I am working on with my wife, WebQuest Builder in order to avoid the extra considerations related to storing user password. Originally I had planned on using RPXNow in order to do this. But after reading about how realms worked, specifically that Google gives a different identifier [...]

As of late I have gotten a chance to use the ASP.Net AJAX extenders and script controls, and so far am really liking how they work, though it would be nice if adding the .js was a little cleaner then manually adding them to the assembly wether in the AssemblyInfo.cs or the controls cs file. [...]

I have been following Rob Conery’s posts on the MVC Storefront, and trying the repository/pipes-filters for data access that he has been using. While trying out the implementation of a LazyList he was using, I had noticed that the example table was being joined onto the category table. At the time however, I really had [...]

Also added a simple form to allow administrators to created their own. It is a bit limited, but adding additional options should not be to hard. Though those will have [...]

As an exercise to figure out socket programming I have been messing around with creating an SVN client library to use with DevExamples.com, well actually a generic SC client library that would allow me to change what repository site I was working against, SVN just seemed like the simplest of them at the moment. However, [...]

Well, Bill Pierce in his post about making the HttpContext wrapper use the application as a service provider got me to a good enough solution for the script service I had wanted in my previous post. While not quite as clean as adding it to the HttpContext, I think an extension method on HttpApplication like [...]

Since administration was the next part I wanted to work on. I decided that for the moment I just want a little login for in the upper corner like I decided to put the login screen view logic into a user control, and added the following user control named Login.ascx and placed it into the [...]

I ran into a situation that reminded me of Steam Harman’s post about A New Year’s Resolution for Developers in which he states that by default methods should be public and virtual unless there is a good reason not to. This started when after I decided I was missing functionality like RegisterClientScriptBlock, allowing me to [...]
