  • Rich Text Editor on CodePlex

    Thursday, November 29, 2007
    This is really great to see.  RTEs are a pain to write yourself. http://ledgards.com/blogs/josh/archive/2007/11/12/rich-text-editor-control-on-codeplex.aspx My only requests are that they add Opera and Safari support, XHTML support, undo and better flexibility for customizing it (like hiding the view tabs and ASP.NET Themes). Definitely worth checking out!
  • Re: ASP.NET Custom Authentication Problems

    Friday, March 02, 2007
    I just got a comment from an old post from over 2 years ago about some custom auth problems I had.  It's funny looking back that far to see how you were.  As with all typical developers, I look back and laugh at myself.  :)The question posted was if I could share my custom authentication code.  The fact of the matter is, the way I was doing authentication at the time was kind of silly and I thought I'd post how we do it now.  It's much simpler and uses everything that's already built into ASP.NET 2.0 already.  When a user
  • ASP.NET FindControl Recursive with Generics

    Saturday, February 24, 2007
    While working on the new version of Channel 9, part of my job this time around was to "templatize" our entire community platform.  The way everything is set up now, aspx files are read in through the Virtual Path Provider (VPP), additional settings in the Page directive are set based off of database settings and the page is rendered.  All our controls are now ascx files with the CodeFileBaseClass set to a class that implements all the code.  This allows us to easily setup new controls and templates for our different sites if new ones are needed.  Right now, Channel
  • Web Application Project (Visual Studio 2005) on Windows Vista RC1

    Wednesday, September 27, 2006
    If you've tried installing it already, you know it doesn't work.  Rich Mercer posted the answer, which is to run the msi as an administrator.  Unfortunately, you can't just right mouse click and run as Administrator.  For details on the work around (a bat file) check out Rich's blog post about it.UPDATE: The issue with this has been fixed in Windows Vista RC2 (5744) and you do not need the workaround anymore to get it installed.
  • Microsoft 10 Awakens!

    Monday, March 13, 2006
    My boss, Jeff and Scoble just blogged about the launch of 10!  The short answer for 10 is that it's a site for technology enthusiasts.  That may seem very general, but it is on person.  We will be covering pretty much anything that's interesting related to technology.  Health, education, music, gaming, you name it.  The community around 10 will help shape our content down the road. Every day (M-F) at 10:00 AM PST we will launch a new video as well as a video at the end of the week to wrap it all together into one with some easter eggs

  • Intellisense Not Working in Web.config w/ Visual Studio (Web Developer) 2005

    Friday, December 02, 2005
    Just had to post this one more time.  This is a hair saving post by Scott Guthrie on how to get intellisense to work again if it stops working in the web.config file and why it stops working, as well as just pointing out how cool the intellisense is in the first place!  Thanks, Scott!  :)
