I finally had a chance to sit and work with LINQ for a bit, and while it is very cool, a little bit of its luster was lost when I can assign interfaces to the anonymous classes generated by the queries. Meaning I can not do something like: public interface IExample { string Name {…
After making my previous post I worked on it a bit more, and found that the best way to accomplish what I was trying to do, creating quick data layer that I can change later, was to simply add the IExample interface to the partial class definition. I know I can create this with Subsonic…
I decided to implement Admin Rss Feeds after a particularly draining Friday. For the most part it went pretty smoothly, and learned something about working with a different team too ;). I Implemented an HttpModule that looked for FormsAuthentication redirects for rss feeds and changed it over to use basic authentication so rss readers could authenticate.…

So the call to /test1/Admin/ModeratedCommentRss.aspx uses the /web.config and would use the /test1/Admin/web.config, but it has no…

Well, I got my first major feature for Subtext done, blog/domain aliases for the blog, but I find myself hesitant to click commit. Its not that I doubt it works, it is currently running on my blog right now. I just don’t feel comfortable checking in code that I can’t respond to problems with for about 19 hours, and would…
I was reading IHttpContext And Other Interfaces For Your Duck Typing Benefit over on Haacked. It reminded my of something I did Thursday, which made me wish that .Net 3.5 was already usable. I actually finally convinced my boss to let me try to automate at least some of the testing. So first order of business,…
