Nice one on the new job. Expect to go through a keyboard a month if you're using WinForms in .NET. :-| Can be a tad frustrating.
Thanks, I'll start stocking up on keyboards then :-)
Cool, we've made it past the magical 5 mark!
My comment is a joke, but my post no... will be true this notice?
I see Stefano, thanks. http://msnbc.msn.com/ID/4253584
When I read this at 0:00 this morning I wasn't sure if I was seeing things or of this was true... From the MSNBC article I would say this is true. Scary stuff.

The url you have for Getting MonoDevelop is a bit out of date, we had some anonsvn issues, however we are posting regular snapshots at http://devservices.go-mono.com/MonoDevelop/ . The 0.1 release on the 27th of feb still stands! :) --Todd
Thanks, will update it! Keep up the good work :-)
SA Blogs @ dotnet.org.za?
If you reverse the current name, you get "Az grot entod". Say it out loud for the full effect. :-P
Heya Can u point me to a link on how to implement a new skin? Regards KevinT
dot net dot org dot zet ay
This is a gr8 link to send around my office - thanks. Posted in on SADev as well - hope u dont mind! ;-P Regards KevinT
Sounds good to me...and I think Midrand would be fine for most. David and Ernst may have a problem ;)
Now that s sounds like a good plan
cool... but I dont drink....do they serve colddrink? ;) *smirk*
Yeah..Sounds good...
KevinT suggested we meetup after the Security Seminar on the 16th. Sounds good to me, so if anyone has any suggestions for a venue, shoot.
Sound cool.
I'll be there with bells on. Double bells. With ice. I have left a msg on SADev inviting everybody to come :-) Regards KevinT
I'd like that, but now how about a venue?
Cool post! However you could also make use of the Web access feature that most mail servers have these days. I do this quite frequently.
i'm using the pop3 service that comes with server 2003 :-(
Not too familiar with any nice places in Kyalami. Any place that sells good food and cold beer is A-OK with me.
I think sticking to the url, dotnet.org.za, as the name is the best idea from a marketing point of view. What you need is a catchy phrase to go with it...I like Thea's suggestion - depends on your vision for the domain really.
I'll let it be for now, just need to do something about the frontpage. I've asked a friend to come up with a creative logo for the site. But I agree, a catchy slogan is also needed. Any suggestions?
Kevin suggested Blue Berry. I'll make a booking if everyone's ok with that. The map to the place is http://www.blueberrygrill.co.za/map.htm.
For those of you who don't know where it is, if you look at the street map Armand linked to, The Theatre on the Track is in the top middle of the map. (and thats where the seminar is).
Sounds good. It could also be an unofficial SA bloggers meetup too. :-p
Not 100% sure but I think it might just be the 1st unofficial SA bloggers meetup :-) Another good reason for celebration!
Thanks, was able to put this to good use :)
I would have liked to go, but unfortunately I already have other obligations... Hope you guys enjoy it!!
I'll be there...
Can't make the seminar, but will make a plan for the get together....
will bring my 'thing' to the 'thing' :)
Thanks, now I know how to score many pints of Guinness at the pub next weekend...
I agree with Simon there... Stock up on anything that can be thrown. Take out insurance on windows... I've thrown a mouse through a window once... Also a programming related incident.
Ah man sorry I didn't make it guys & gals...got caught up with work :-( Had to catch up on stuff after the security seminar... So what did I miss? Except heaps of fun... Should defintely try and organize another one soon, will block it off in my calendar:-) Promise Alrighty, cheerio Iwan
I also posted this feedback on the reminder for the after event meetup... sorry I didn't make it guys & gals...got caught up with work :-( Had to catch up on stuff after the security seminar... So what did I miss? Should gimme / send me some of the inside info:-) Except heaps of fun... Should defintely try and organize another one soon:-) Cheerio, Iwan
Ryan used to be a friend of mine, but now that I know he is VB positive I will stay far away from him...
It's bad yes, heard a rumor they might start rolling out free anti-retroVBals at state hospitals soon.
It was seriously worth it. Good food, cold beer and some tequilas. Can't go wrong :-) Was really cool to be able to put faces to names etc and from some other posts i've seen it'll happen again soon.
Cool! I'm downloading as I type. See ... erm, speak to you online!
We also started using it last week for comms between our CT and PTA office, the quality is really better than normal landlines. Any idea on how much bandwidth it consumes?
I was stunned and is spreading the word... the ideal would be to have no more Telkom problems!!!
You might also want to check my RSS Feed Viewer Web Part published about a month ago. It's the XML Web Part with custom XSLT but using a more sophisticated XSLT (actually 3 external files you can choose from) supporting RSS 0.91, 0.92, 1.0 and 2.0 (soon to come: ATOM 0.3/0.4). Get it from here: http://www.asaris-matrix.com/sweber/playground/downloads/forms/DispForm.aspx?ID=6
Excellent, thanks!
Nice one Johann - the new look rocks! Thanks :-)
Thanks, it really looks stunning!!!
Well done Johan and Armand... it looks cool......
Should read, well done Johann. I didn't do anything but copy a couple of files across :-)
>>If you're browsing to the home page instead of using a RSS aggregator like all civilized people do<< Yes, yes, I admit to being one of the "unwashed masses". It looks great, thanks!
lol, it's just a facade, when no one's looking i secretly go to all the blogs i follow and look at the actual sites. i always read yours in "discreet blog blue". just makes me feel good about myself throwing around terms like "RSS aggregators" etc, just helps me score points with the boss but deep inside i'm still a kid that likes to point my browser of choice to url and look at the nice pictures and colors and thingy's on the sites.
Aggregators don't waste enough bandwidth... That's what HTML was invented for... HTML über alles! ( I was kidding, before you guys start thinking I'm an HTML evengelist )
Cool :)
Thanks! Appreciate the mention.
Very cool.... I never thought you could serialize a delegate in this way.....
This is really useful to know, thanks! You should turn it into a short article for sadev :-) Regards KevinT
Ugh u're telling me, and I see ADSL's monthly pricing is now over R1k per month for Telkom & ISP... :-(
Think happy thoughts....nnnnnnggg! X-(
A good thing :) I'm joining a very exciting project from 1st May. Finally, for the first time, I'll be developing on .NET exclusively. No more (well, I suspect much less) COM. Yay!!!!
Cool! I didn't know about the [Flags] attribute.
Very cool! Congrats!

I'm glad to hear that you actually voted. I was amazed to see how many people didn't vote! And its probably the same people that complains the most about the state of affairs.
This has been one of the most usefull article series I've read in ages! Well worth a visit!!! -Ernst
I probably should have mentioned that bug... its been around for a while. :( But hey, its only beta and it works well enough to get by. (w.Bloggar had proxy issues for me)
A R90 Million bash!!! It is crazy!
After the chat yesterday, i was just about to write something like this myself...i am glad you beat me to it :-P If anyone getting started wants a copy of my OPML (you can import it into sharpReader) to get a listing of some interesting feeds, just contact me. I also have a list of local (SAfrican) bloggers, and other "mentors" on my blog...
How are you connected over there? Been a while since I was at JHB Int.
Don't worry dude, I'm sure Johann will be taping it. That's if he isn't there in the front row with his camcorder....
I think it was the biggest waste of money EVER!!! Why the hell was it necessary? They could have used the R90mil for job creation and building a few of the 1 000 000 promised houses. It makes me sick that the government uses 90mil for a party while millions of people live in poverty. I wonder where the money came from... The political party's bank account or my tax money?
Hmm..probably GPRS or wireless hotspots?
They've got a very very nice smoking lounge, there's laptops and internet terminals available free of charge. So you can sit and relax, have a beer and a cigarette while reading blogs and watching the planes take off :-)
SA Blogging dinner? We have blogging dinners? When? Where? :)
http://dotnet.org.za/armand/archive/2004/02/26/520.aspx :-) Any suggestions, I would vote BlueBerry for the venue again or maybe somewhere else?
Eye min, four shore!
That sounds like a cool plan.
Brilliant! Thanks for the heads-up.
In a previous discussion (http://dotnet.org.za/thea/archive/2004/03/17/750.aspx) Kevin suggested the last Thursday each month. I am up for that, but maybe this month directly after devdays. When booking BlueBerry - ask for a table outside :)
Cool, thanks for the tip!
necesito el procExp.exe
That's one of my favorite shortcuts. It also works in MS Word XP and Notepad2 :-)
In SharpReader v0.9.4.1 (the version I'm running) and in quite a few versions before, you CAN search! Just do CTRL+SHIFT+F, and you'll see a "filter" bar appear. It works really well.
doh, you have no idea how stupid i feel now :-) i must've been blind and ignorant. thanks for pointing this out to me!
At least you are not alone Armand :-$ Kinda of sneaky of them to go and hide it under a menu like that... :-P
What... you leaving me alone with these guys? ;) I can't find rss feeds on the mweb blog site either... I don't think they will have, looking at the way they've done the home blog page... (search and stuff on there) It looks like they want you to visit the home page to read the blogs...
Hell, this is one of the things I've been under an NDA not to talk about ... and I really wanted to at the recent SADev meeting. I guess it's public domain now. woohoo The exact syntax is still under debate as far as I know.
I've been going back and forth between readers too. Here's what I ended up with and why (RSS Bandit): http://ryanfarley.com/blog/archive/2004/05/14/629.aspx -Ryan
I will be there for a while, have to do the family thing later on that evening :(
I will be there, thanks.
dido
Sounds good, but also just for a little while :(
Sounds cool
RSS Bandit has an 'Unread' items folder that shows all new posts in all your feeds. Look in 'Search Folders'. You can also create a Search Folder that meets whatever criteria you need.
Thanks Dare, I found that :-) Switched fulltime to RSS Bandit now.
Sounds great....Trans doing the serving?
After reading this, I thought I'd give RSS Bandit another try. The features are definitely impressive. Initially I imported all my feeds, update all...snap crackle pop..broken. Every time I opened it, I was pointed to a detailed error message in non-existent error log. Not to be deterred, I deleted all the RSS files in App and Local settings and started again. Now we're good friends and I don't have a bunch of default feeds and settings that I don't use either.
If you're into generating code, have a look at this one http://www.ericjsmith.net/codesmith
I'm keen.
Engaged...engaged...
Hey! I'm with you on that one!!! Love the image! ;-)
I hope to make it - I have to be in Douglasdale by 7pm... But I'll try be there for as long as I can...
Still looks like sh*t in Firefox. :(
Wow, I'm also about to upgrade from ISDN to ADSL. If Sentech coould get off their asses and improve their coverage, Telkom would be a distant memory :-( Good luck!
Good luck guys... we had our fair share of crap with Telkom ... should really complain to people higher up than the grunts answering phones
Mike you wish :-)
When I upgraded to ADSL, I prepared for the worst. My ADSL has been installed for the last 2 months, after something like 10 phone calls. No problemo, I knew I was going to deal with Telkom. But three months later my emails that were associated to our Telkom dial-up account still hasn't been migrated, although a person from Telkom assured me that they did it.
Also wish Sentech will speed up their roll-out. I'm "zoned" probably later this year but can't wait that long :-(
viva le'sentech :-)
Thanks for organising the dinner. It was good to put a face to the blog. :-)

Very nice. Too bad I can't play with source codeat work since they block nntp :(
Just one note, there is a reason for the msi not allowing the installation on Longhorn just yet. The .NET framework version differs if you compare the Longhorn version to the VS 2005 alpha/beta version, and this different version could "break" things in Longhorn...the guys working on the project said they'll be bringing out some sync'd versions in the next community drops, etc... Just my 2'c
I was just about to post about that Eric Sink response :-) The guy is truly a class act.
Yeah, he's a legend, or maybe not :-) http://notalegend.com/ brilliant guy!
I think this will work well in IT-related companies and other business sectors where the average employee is quite bright. However, I think it would be corporate suicide to let the average joe in the average company loose on a blog... One of the things i like most about blogging though is that the corporate mofos haven't caught on to the idea yet - blogging is now what the internet was 10 years ago: a vibrant exciting frontier, full of possiblities. I would hate for the suits to turn it into just another marketing strategy. But then again, maybe that is just the instant esspresso overload talking...

To much time thinking about the new car, methinks... :-P
Sorry to hear man... as long as you guys are alright... and good luck for the rest of the week ;)
Woah! Glad you guys are fine. Hey, your week should be great!!! (After a sunday like that) :)
Sheez... glad you guys are ok... where did this happen?
Just phoned them again. They never received my fax so the order was just sitting there. The first woman I spoke to gave me the incorrect fax number. So the process is just starting over again. Yipee.
That sux. hope your'e ok
Eish, I know your pain. It happened to me a few years ago - also a sunday afternoon. Some drunk stole his sister's car and went on a high speed trip - straight into me. My car was a writeoff bur at least no one got seriously hurt.
cool.... I also only used double checking, but this is cool.... makes it much simpler. Q: So if static makes a reference thread safe, you will never need to use the key word 'volatile' with a static declaration.... am I right?
This is real cool!! Used to take lines and lines and lines of code.... I also heard something about the wizards whidbey provides...? That used to take pages and pages and pages ;)
Corne, Only static initialization is thread safe, after initialization static members have the same locking requirements and loading requirements as any other variable. There is also much more to this issue, like achieving lazy initialization which is specific to .NET/C#. I think I will make a post on this topic at some point.
Too true. Count your lucky stars. I will only have ADSL in my area by the end of July, according to Telkom... Almost went for Sentech, but decided NO (after seeing http://sentechsucks.co.za today.
Sounds interesting. Could this be useful for Papillion?
well spotted, definately. i only installed it, haven't looked at the source but it will certainly work from what i've seen.
You seriously had me worried for a few seconds there...
It is definately horrific. The service is absolutely atrocious. I recommend sticking with telkom for a while.
Probably will stick with Telkom for now. Saw your site :-)
Still waiting for that bribe! :D
This is cool stuff. Especially NAnt. Have been using NAnt for Biztalk 2004 deployments and I have to admit it really rocks! For those who know, deployment in Biztalk is a real pain....but NAnt simplifies the whole process of undeploying and deploying of assemblies to a point where you can just activate NAnt, and in the meantime get a fresh cup of coffee.
SourceGear Vault Configuration ExampleFor Visual Source Safe you must specify the executable, project, username and password. You may also specify the SSDIR. If SSDIR is not set the default or the SSDIR environment variable will be used....
thhanks for putting this together. i've linked to your blog entry from the CCNet Vault documentation page: http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Vault CCNet does support automatically retrieving source from other source control systems -- it just hasn't been implemented yet for Vault, but we're always happy to accept patches. :)
Looks good! I think the webcasts on P&P and SOA are some of the most interesting ones, so it's nice to have a resource like this available on MSDN!
As I'm currently using Subversion from the command line, you have no idea how useful that [tab] trick will be. Thanks!
Thanks for the link :-)
It does seem like a wierd concept, but I don't think it's anything new. Sure, as a programmer, I do feel a little threatened by the idea that the art of coding may be defunct sometime in the future, it's not going to happen soon. If you compare a tool like InfoPath which is built for business-types to make their own "apps", it doesn't threaten the need to have actual programmers on staff.
ooh a new episode!! Cool. Ramzi rocks man!!!
WOW...WOW...i cant believe it is only 96k. The gameplay is awesome...graphics and effects are awesome as well.
Glad you enjoy our blog! Thanks for the link!
Crashes fatally on start-up on my machine :-(
It did the same thing on my laptop. Works on my desktop though. It is still beta and only 96k so I'm sure there's bound to be some restrictions.
If we run the world, then why am I at work so early???!!!! :P
Interesting.... O and ps, I've also mailed ITWEB to get them to start offering RSS...but nothing yet :-(
And to make the TAB key work under pesky Windows 2000 machines while under CMD.EXE just open REGEDIT and change HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar to 9. Now open a new CMD.EXE instance and press TAB.. whalla. But if you are lazy and you wanna change directories, simple use asterisk and CMD will do the rest. So the following "CD C:\P*Files\C*Files\Micr*" will result in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared"
I share your pain..... especially when you've got dial up ;)
You do know that with Telkom ADSL, local bandwidth counts towards the monthly cap? up and down traffic.
I saw that it included all traffic but after reaching the monthly cap they only restrict international browsing and surfing through a local south african proxy sidesteps the restriction ;-)
Armand, you are THE MAN! This is just what I'm looking for.
Glad it could be of use to someone :-)
I second that - this tool rules!!!
Good one ! Our build manager on my current project is gonna love this!

I trie now RSSBandit (1.2.0.114) for several days; and after using it for 1 to 10 Minutes it always says "Sorry we encountered an error" (or somthing like this). Summary: Good idea but bad implemntation! => Not usable.
Can't say I agree. I've been using RSSBandit now without problems for the last couple of months. Have you looked at the RSSBandit issues list?
Thats gotta annoy you intensely! :-)
It's things like that that make me appreciate the .net framework more. Didn't bother me too much, I won't go down the same route again if it's not required :-)
I listened to that one twice. Good show. I really started to feel like a "user" when they talked about hotspots in a table, as it is something I have never even thought about.
i wont SkypeOut for free
You rock! Thanks!
Sounds very interesting, I'm an MTN subscriber though, wonder if I made the wrong choice.
Sounds like a great idea to me. Do they have wireless at Blue Berry?? :-P
nope, maybe we should look for a place with wireless. or i can show you my party trick #554 with a laptop, server 2003, sentech and a wireless card, hotspot-on-the-go ;-)

Any other persons experiencing continuous dropped line problems dialling your ISP? Up to 2 - 3 times before establishing a connection. Is this another Telkom ploy to generate income, level playing fields as per the VPN’s??? Who can advise in this matter?
The process explorer from sysInternals is also quite good at killing processes.
Yes, see a previous post I've made.
I also use OneNote, probably the most useful tool on my notebook.
I just basically just discovered OneNote and started transferring my Developer Notes to this. I also had all these notes in books that may not always be reachable, but my laptop is. Web clippings, ideas, notes, blog entries and creating Outlook Tasks (for use with the GTD System) is really making me reconsider upgrading the PDA.
I'm up for Trumps
Hmm, I wonder how Tivoli got in there ;-) I vote Tivoli :-)
Whilst using OneNote with a tablet is awesome (na nana na naaa), it is far from perfect and a number of times i have found myself quite frustrated. There are basically two things i miss, one is a save button. I know it saves everything automatically and everything, but sometimes i like to prototype my thoughts and then roll back if necissary. The other thing i miss is a propert 'rubber band' type tool that i can use to select a portion of a note and more it around - you can do this with text obviously, but there is no way of doing it with a hand written note...

Trumps is cool.

Kevin, I've noticed that SP1 seems to make OneNote look and feel a whole lot more "finished" than pre-sp1. If you aren't already running it I suggest you give it a try.

Question: How do you setup a dropdownlist element so that it doesn't lose its "selected" attribute? Symptoms: I have a dropdownlist. When I change the selection, everything works fine, but the toolkit in the page's preRender event translates the item list, but DROPS the selected attribute from the selected item, so that the list box always shows the same item. Please help.
Oh...shit! *blush*

Unbelievable... that is exactly what I've been sitting with today, right down to the error you got (XML attributes may not be specified for the type....) Thanks Armand!!
Code format for web - http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/
Sorry for the formatting, was in a hurry. Will use the formatter next time.
Yup, using Oracle 9i and got exactly the same errors: 'unable to load dll (oci.dll)' AND 'Could not create an environment: OCIEnvCreate returned -1'
I tried to download your code sample, but the zip file was corrupted. Do you have another link to the code sample?
I try instaled mono but when i make yum install-complete i have this error : .......Unable to satisfy dependencies Package mono-complete needs mono-preview = 1.0.1-1.ximian.8.1, this is not available. What can i do?
Which code sample are you referring to? - Armand
Congrats on your 200th post!
Thanks! Will have to post something of substance for 300 :-)
Very good, thanks, And there maybe is a small bugs in the code XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces(); ns.Add("",""); never get used in the CreateXmlCollectionBaseSerializer(). To get ride of namespace attribute, put the 2 lines just before you call serializer.Serialize(mystream, myobject, ns);
oops, i see thanks :-) problem snuck in when changing the code from test code into my solution. in the actual solution i can specify the serializer but don't have control over where the actual serialization happens. so for the moment i'm stuck with attributes. thanks for pointing out the redundant code.
ewtrhhfghfdh
A simple workaround for this problem is creating a wrapper object for the collection. For example, I have a simple Product object with a matching ProductCollection object that derives from CollectionBase. Instead of serializing the ProductCollection, I created a ProductResults object that contains the ProductCollection object as a property as well as some paging properties. This way I can use the XmlAttribute metadata on the collection and control the xml output of the XmlSerializer.
Jon B: I have a wrapper object that exposes my CollectionBase derived object through a property. Unfortunately, the node corresponding to the collection is named using the ArrayOf syntax. How did you overcome this problem in your situation??? I would appreciate your feedback.
nice article, thanks.
Thanks!
Hey Armand, do which of the Oracle data providers do you prefer? I'm entertaining a shift from System.Data.OracleClient to ODP.Net due to a memory leak. That said, we are running Ora 9i and I remember reading somewhere that the ODP.Net works from 9 release 2 and upwards.
download mono-preview 1.0.1-1.ximian.8.1 :)
the answer to life is merely a combination of two things!! firstly, no-one knows wot is real and wot is not as they av not seen anything outside of their reality. this leads u to realise that nothing outside urself can be taken as fact, hence wot u see and feel inside is as good a source as any to the answer you seek as u cannot vouch for anything/anyone else! secondly, nothing is for sure, not even as you read this!! anything you learn comes from a source, this source creates wot we are 2day. produce!!! if you could truly unlearn, then wot would you see??
assd
Armand is quite right. Another interesting source of info on ObjectSpaces is the dotnetrocks episode held with Kevin McNeish - see, http://www.franklins.net/fnetdotnetrocks/dotnetrocks.aspx?showid=55
This looks really cool, i have worked on developing something very similar. There's just endless posibilities.
Now it is just a question of when we will get to see WinFS, since it is no longer shipping in the Longhorn time frame.
Good One
salam
it should be free :)
I'm Rambo
i want to try something new like to make a call to my parents free
Holy shit, that is some serious Excel dev... :o
Yep, my thoughts exactly
la
Way cool. Forward it to our Project office, and the response so far was bril.
mmmm Armand, I mentioned this in http://blog.pieter.co.za/archive/2004/07/05/197.aspx and http://blog.pieter.co.za/archive/2004/06/24/189.aspx! Now let this be a lesson to you that you should read all the blogs in the world, all of the time or you might miss something! :P
Damn, you beat me to it... ;-) I am very impressed with it, seems to work very well.
have you notice any file locking issues, that are usually associated with windows indexing service?
dhrfh
No I haven't. It's just really... good.
The thing I'm interested in is using their API to generate images from a URL, like the Google Desktop shows you when displaying Web History results...
Thanks, that's exactly what i was looking for.
I like a skype..
I recommend always using the client written by the database provider. When using oracle, use ODP (provided by Oracle). Microsoft's implementation of the System.Data.OracleClient provides only basic functionality and doesn't support all the features of ODP. When solving complex issues and discussing with both MS and Oracle support, both recommended ODP. We've switched and couldn't be happier. ODP is faster and is completely supported.
Thanks Armand! I've been really frustrated with this too! I can't believe these assholes don't have anything better to do! The scary thing is that I'm sure if all us devs got together we could do them more damage than they could do us! They're F*CKING lucky we're at least ethical and honest!
One more thing... Why not use the random image generator that contains a word that the user must confirm before being able to post a comment? Or allowing each blogger to choose whether he wants his blog moderated. In that case we could filter out a lot of this stuff before it even gets posted! Shout if you need help with that
Yeah, but from what I've read last night it seems there's ways to get around the image generator as well :S It'll have to be a combination of things, I'll try and spend more time on it over the weekend though and see what we can do to stop this sh*t.
I had two yesterday, and another three this morning as well. Very annoying.
Bayesian filtering is getting a lot of good press. I'm not sure if there's much support for it within blogging tools tho. See http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html http://mt-plugins.org/archives/entry/bayesian.php
I found this post interesting: http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/seichert/archive/2003/08/10/1003.aspx I've written generation by creating C# source - on the fly - and then compiling it with CompileAssemblyFromSource. I found it to be a fairly productive approach. I think it's appropriate when all you want is the compiled assembly. If you want to generate source code, that humans will read, then I think the style you've used above has a big advantage - the same code can generate output in VB or C#. PS In case you're wondering why I'm replying to such an old post, I just discovered your blog today!
Bayesian filtering seems to be the way to go...
I had close to 20 comment spams on my blog this morning. I don't think using Baysian filtering will work for comment spams, for several reasons (I remember reading something about that on Erik Gunnerson's blog a long time ago). But if you have access to the SQL Server machine hosting your blog, one temporary solution for dealing with comment spams would be to add a trigger on the blog_content table. That trigger would check if the comment (Type = 3, if my memory serves me) contains a URL or not. If it does, you can check that URL agains a list of spammers that previously poluted your blog and delete the corresponding comment if there is a match. Not very sophisticated, but that's better than nothing until the .Text community finds the appropriate solution. If I weren't so busy, I would start to implement something myself right now.
Hi David, thanks for the suggestion. That is basically exactly what I started with last night. I've added and uploaded the admin sections where people can post the suspect urls and started on the comment filter last night. It is type 3 for comments yes :D So we've got quite a long list of reported spam url's already, so I'll start blocking them out this weekend. The other tricky part is to remove the existing comment spam without affecting post counts etc, I haven't looked at that in too much detail yet but that is something else to keep in mind. The next version of .Text (Community Server :: Blogs) will ship with a comment spam filter afaik. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
please in dotnet framwork any method about get caller id using telephone line
Hi Armand, have a look here: http://meandering-blog.com/archive/2004/10/29/504.aspx; thought it might help!
Thanks for the link, I have been looking at some human interface controls. Will definately have a look at that one as well :-)
I am using VB.Net(windows appliaction) to connect to ORACLE database . I am also getting the same error as "'Could not create an environment: OCIEnvCreate returned -1' " Could someone give a solution
Thanks for the effort Armand - we all appreciate the personal overtime you put in to do this.
Thanks Kevin
Check this idea out: http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/demiliani/archive/2004/11/02/30684.aspx
I like this
i am chinese,i like skype ,skype is free but skypeout is not free.i want skypeout is free!!!!
I'm thinking about using CC.Net. Are you using these set of tools? Whats your verdict?
We're using it to automate our builds, run all our unit tests, generate FxCop reports and do our build distributions. Would really highly highly recommend it. It supports a wide variety of source control providers including Subversion so setting it up shouldn't be an issue for you :-)
Senkwe, It is awesome, it has really been worth the effort to get it working!
Yeah I've been using it for the past few weeks and I feel stupid for having relied on the NUnit GUI all this time. It rocks. One strange thing though, apparently it supports the express IDE's as well (it does install cleanly) however I don't believe any of those test frameworks, including NUnit, support C# 2.0 yet.
If it wasn't the many sites (like http://www.sony.co.za) that simply don't load in FireFox, I would permantly use FireFox. Maybe its a plugin problem or something. However, the day IE comes out with Tabbed Browsing, I'll switch back to IE. I'm sure the next version of IE should address the issues causing it to lose market share to browsers like FireFox and Opera. Good things in FireFox that IE should implement: 1) Tabbed Browsing 2) Themes 3) Good plugin architecture. There are hundreds of plugins for firefox that are very cool. 4) Any others?
Have you checked this [1] out? It's a whole lot of plugins etc available for IE :-) http://windowsmarketplace.com/content.aspx?ctId=63
Ditto. I have been using it since it was still NUnitAddin. It rocks.
Additional reference: http://aspalliance.com/472 -- yeah, I wrote that!
Armand, I save my viewstate to a DB table that get's cleaned up by a job. And then I just store a GUID in a hidden field on the page. Yours is much shorter and sweeter, but since the viewstates for my application is huge and we share the server with several other applications we decided to go the DB route. The best is we can now persist a lot more than we could have in the past without using up all the bandwidth and the pages also load a lot faster.
Scorpion :-)
plz
oo
I just spent a few days playing around with a bunch of different options including OOP, InProc, session, cache, etc. I played with quite a bit of this stuff and learnt a lot of interesting things regarding some of the advantages / drawbacks to each approach. I'm gonna be posting some of it to my blog within the next few days and I'll keep you posted.
I loaded Konfabulator up and I'm impressed at the eye-candy; however I'm still to find a widget that is REALLY useful.
i agree with you, i find the weather widget really useful :p but i guess the whole purpose is writing you own little widgets.
Nookie :)
Cool, I also installed Konfabulator last week (& liked the weather widget!) How about a widget that extracts latest dotnet.org.za posts? I'll see if it's possible & let you know ;o)
Started using the spell checker a while ago, works nicely still one or two bugs tho' but i don’t thinks i could do without now... finally others can understand my comments.
Well, looking at the summary: 'WEB' based frontend to 'T'elecomms 'O'perator's 'F'raud,'I'nvestigation and 'E'vent detection systems WEBTOFIE as in web toffie... ;)
What does tho' mean? :P
I saw the burning car! Thankfully I was on my way home early because I would hate to imagine what it must have been like with a traffic jam from the fire and hail! *Private Note* I don't know if it was a Ferrari, it was red, but I think the Ferrari part is urban legend. (Has anyone checked the papers?)
Be aware, though, this does not work for Web Projects.
Thanks for the tip! Those are some very useful tricks to know!
I had this problem a while ago, but it only happened in a try-catch block(obviously). Thanks for these tips :)
How about Project Pitchfork?
Thanx.
Hey, good to see you are actually working.... :P
hi i would like to get free skypeout
Project PI
sick joke pieter :p
Looks quite cool..
Kewl, Do you think we can start a Sql reporting Services Knowledge base on this community server? There doesnt seem to be an existing knowledge base on this subject, I think it would help many poor developers who are searching for help on this poorly documented but powerful and versitile technology.
asdAD
i wanna free skypeout
mother fuckers, skype out for 5$. u would not get it for free. lol. n00bs
Damn that is cool - I've got 233Mb to go... (downloading)
OMG, absolutely Awesome !!!
Note to self: note this Note to Armand's self.
I also had this problem, also only in try-catch blocks but it was because I had some cleanup code in a finally. I assumed it was crashing because the finally code had not executed, so I moved the redirect outside of it.
:):):):):)
:p
Thanks for this - was just getting the same problem and your solution worked for me. Mmmmm... undocument feature....
Glad it helped :-)
ALL
IMHO rules!!! Formats code perfectly!
Congrats !! Thanks for the great site and all the effort you put in. Keep it going ;)
I think it is about time that South African ISV development came out of the nutshell and displayed itself to the rest of the world. But whilst the rest of the world is easy to advertise to, it is certainly harder to attain any attention with a product that was designed for local usage only. But I ask: can the guys advertise on the local forums where the target audience are? Not yet... that is why they are asking ;-). Too bad I only discovered this blog site about six months ago... I definitely missed out on a lot of good posts. Happy birthday blogs! May we have many more great blog posts.
Big thanks for all the hard work you have put in to make this site great!
Happy bithday ... ;-)
how to get free skypeout calls?
Well done dude
Congrats!!! That goes for dotnet.org.za *and* all its bloggers!!! And thanks Armand, for all your effort in getting this up and going - respect dude ;o)
Hey Armand, Happy B-Day to Dotnet.Org.Za!!! I'll chat to you about a new skin. Cheers, J
I should probably say "New skin for the site" since just saying "New Skin" sounds a tad well... you know... icky.
Thanks for the links. I didn't realize so many people had blogged it! I haven't even got my post out yet (been too busy doing admin!). BTW, a few of the links in your post are relative. They should be pointing back to http://www.testdriven.net/Default.aspx?... Thanks!
Have fixed the links, happens when you copy & paste :p Thanks for an awesome tool!
Es lo mismo que yo probé y no funcionó. Me faltaba poner "..., YourAssembly" en el atributo type en la declaración section. MUCHAS GRACIAS

Hey, is urgent to get skypeout for free!!! all the world is wqaiting for!
I tried that but somehow missed the window of oppurtunity and ended up on next month so I had to borrow some time from the office adsl account! Learnt the best bet is to load up on the 27-29 and by the time the 24 hour period comes up (delayed accounting)even if you go over you are already in the next month so you still have a new 3gb . Also you may notice that the download speed gets very very slow and certain port numbers keep timing out arround the end of the month,not sure if this is a telkom restriction or due to large amount oftraffic.Still with all the bad I could never go back to dialup again just wish telkom would drop the limit and introduce 8mb adsl ;).
So how do you guys use up 3GB of bandwidth? Is it all the MSDN stuff?
I just submitted my application for ADSL and I'm getting Prolog Plus through Telkom Internet with a 4GB cap for R269/month. Ofcourse I'll have to wait until January before it is installed. (they're busy, you see)
Wow, time flies! ...and boy, how much has changed since we first started (i.e.: Blog Spam!) Thanks Armand for giving us this forum; it's been 'almost' life changing ;) (..and thanks for the compliment; MUCH appreciated ;))
Roger, 8MB? or did you mean 8GB? I'm on the DATAPRO Business ADSL, no cap, but it costs me R1345pm excl telkom charges which is an additional R700 odd, so in total just over R2000 for unlimited cap. Senkwe, I use about 20-30GB a month, no porn, no mp3, no pirate software, some msdn, lot's of sourceforge downloads and a hell of a lot of email, as well as terminal services, I also do a lot of remote development, which also chows up bandwidth, especially data transfers, I also keep offsite backups, and just my dev backups are over 40GB of data. granted 80% of it is SQL databases, but still, 40GB is 40GB. :D
I have the 384 home account, and don't get anywhere near my cap. In the past if I needed to download something I would do it at work and take it home. Now I check what I want to download at work and wait till I get home to do it.
Hi there could you please send me a manual on how to set it up on the modem
SkypeOut can not be free, beacuse Skype Company have to pay each SkypeOut call, to the normal phone company. Skype can not give free SkypeOut calls.
How's this for a getting them back :-) 9.5502 GB used in one month
Cool Tip. Thanks a Ton.

Oh where, oh where could Armand be? Are you on holiday or already capped?
holiday.
I just installed TestDriven three times and it has no effect in Visual C# Express 2005 Beta - no Run Test(s), nothing. Do I have to somehow configure it or something?
OK, it turns out TestDriven works with the regular Visual C# Express 2005 Beta, but not with the Community edition. Installed the regular version, and now everything is fine... great add-in!!

Total lack of ‘service’ received from Telkom SA on 15 December 2004 To whom it may concern: On December 15, 2004 I had the horrible experience of trying to business with Telkom. I will stick to the facts and let you be the judge of what happened here. I had applied and paid for a prepaid line more than a month before and was informed that the phone would be installed on the December 15, 2004. When I asked at what time, I was assured that the technician would call a day before to confirm the time. December 14, 2004 passed without a word from the technician, so I called the ‘prepaid phone call centre’ on December 15, 2004 just after 8:00. I was once again assured that the technician would go out on the same day and would call before he does. At 9:40 I received a call from the technician who told me that he has been out, but nobody was home. He wanted to come later in the morning as all the technicians were supposedly attending a meeting from 11:30. I explained that I worked until 12:00 and could be home by 12:30. He suggested that he could come on December 16, 2004 and I explained that I would not be home and that I really needed the line on December 15, 2004 – as it was agreed more than a month before. He told me he would check with his supervisor and call me back. I am still waiting for his call. In the meantime I made arrangements to leave work early and called the technician on the number he used (011 – 4757079) and spoke to a different technician who did not want to give me his name. He promised to indicate on the system that I was available. At the same time I called the ‘prepaid phone call centre’ with the same message. The operator told me that there was a note on the system that a technician would be at my property at 13:00 on December 15, 2004. At 14:03 I got concerned and decided to confirm that the technician was indeed on his way. This matter was really important to me. I once again called the ‘prepaid phone call centre’, now speaking to Scott. I explained to Scott what the situation was and that I was calling from my cell phone. Scott promised to speak to the technicians and call me back. When he called at 14:26 he basically told me that nothing could be done. He also commented that Telkom’s appointments are ‘all day appointments’ and that I should have waited in the morning. I realized that I had to escalate the matter if I wanted to get anything done as time was running out. Scott provided me with the number for the ‘Complaints department’. I called them at 14:38 and spoke to Joel. Joel did not even want to give me the opportunity to explain my problem; he said I should have spoken to the supervisors or managers in the ‘prepaid phone call centre’ as they made the promises. He could only send an email to try to assist on Friday, December 17, 2004. When I asked for the name and number of such a person, he put me on hold (knowing that I was calling from a cell phone) and then transferred me to Lungi. Lungi was back in the ‘prepaid phone call centre’. She was not a manager or supervisor, but insisted on helping. She mentioned that there was a confirmed appointment with me on the system for December 17, 2004 – I still don’t know who made that appointment nor who confirmed it as I will not be available? At 15:00 (after keeping me on hold for 18:59) she promised to call me at 15:15. I am still waiting for her call. At 15:50 I called the ‘prepaid phone call centre’ again, requesting to speak to Lungi (whose call I was expecting), Irma told that she there was no Lungi. She also said that she could only send a ‘missed appointment email’ to the technicians on Thursday, December 16, 2004. At 15:54 I called the ‘Complaints department’, now speaking to Mariana. Mariana listened and then offered to transfer me to Lungi (at the ‘prepaid phone call centre’). Instead, Simtembile answered. When I explained that I was looking for Lungi and was calling from a cell phone, he launched into an explanation that I should not be calling from a cell phone, but from a public phone. If I thought I could leave home without risking missing the technician, I could go out to look for a public phone. He continued that Lungi was not available, her supervisor was not available (I asked), the manager, Ingrid, was on leave and Ingrid’s manager, Thulani was on the 14th floor while Simtembile was on the 8th and he could therefore not transfer me. I as ked for Thulani’s surname and was disconnected. At 16:01 I called the ‘prepaid phone call centre’ again, looking for Thulani’s surname or Lungi. Ntombi told me that she did not know Lungi. She told me she would llok for Lungi and did not listen to what I said; instead I could hear her talking and laughing with someone else. When she eventually came back, telling me that she ‘could not find’ Lungi, Ntombi’s supervisor was not available. Ntombi did not know who her manager was. When I said I had enough and I would complain in writing, she spotted her supervisor, John. Eventually I spoke to John who promised me at 16:17 that he would phone me back. He even gave me his last name, Jansen. I believed him, he was my last hope. Today I made and received (literally) ten (10) calls to and from Telkom. I spoke to thirteen (13) of Telkom’s employees. Four (4) of them promised to phone me back shortly...and none of these four (4) did. I spent more than an hour holding (from a cell phone) for help. I still do not have the Telkom phone I paid for more than a month ago. In summary: - Telkom did not confirm the first appointment - The technician blatantly lied about a meeting that all the technicians would attend from 11:30. - After I arranged to leave work early, I was blatantly lied to when I was told someone would be at my property at 13:00 (3 different Telkom employees told me afterwards that the call centre could never give times like that). - Four Telkom employees never did what they promised and called me. - Trying to reach a person in the call centre is virtually impossible and I would rather be running into brick walls than trying to call that call centre and explaining the situation yet another time. I was supposed to go away for a few days with my brother and his girlfriend visiting from London (we do not see them often), but cannot go. I arranged for someone to stay in my property – his only condition was a Telkom line, which I still do not have (due to no fault on my side, I tried everything).I told at least seven of the people I spoke to about this, but they have a real ‘can’t do attitude’. I lack the words to express my disappointment and disgust with the lack of ownership and service displayed by Telkom. Telkom today wasted my time and energy and money and I do not understand why. I still do not know what I could do to avoid this. Telkom’s employees obviously lack integrity and knowledge of their own systems. I seriously considered using Telkom as my Internet Service Provider. After this horror, never! As soon as Telkom’s competition arrives, I will leave Telkom. I will also be telling as much family, friends and colleagues as possible about this ordeal. I hope they will follow when I leave Telkom. I realize that I might be just another individual to Telkom, but obtaining this phone was crucial to me on December 15, 2004. All I got was lies, more lies and empty promises. Telkom’s employees all wanted to explain to me (calling in peak time from a cell phone) what went wrong, but nobody bothered to resolve it. I do not believe Telkom has the vaguest idea of client service or integrity.
freeee
I want to make a free internet call to worldwide.
prueba 1 o algo
Welkom terug! Ons moet bietjie bymekaar kom!
I'm going to Zanzibar???? Dammit, nobody ever tells me anything - WHOOOOT!
i would like to get free skypeout
Hmmm. Maybe I should stop throwing mine away too...
Surely there may be some instalment plan. What a time of the year to get someone to pay 10 fines at once! Cool blog... just stumbled upon it today
mmmmm makes me worried as well! :D I'm of to NZ in three weeks, let's hope they don't get to me before then!
yeah, they do let you pay it off, but I think they determine how much a month you pay... happened to a mate of mine. Haven't had any of those little slips for a while <touch wood>
Yeah well, I did my best this morning to pay but after waiting for about a hour for their systems to come back online I gave up... Why they can't just give an account number where we can pay the fines and then we don't need to go them. I'm sure if they make it easier they'll get plenty more peeps to pay.
True, but then you won't get discount :)
Un site sompteux comme on aimerait en voir plus souvent.. c'est tout ce que j'ai à dire :-) Ah si ! Bravo ! Merci, et bonne année ;-) A+
Ugh... that would be extreme programming nightmares in C# for me... Thanks for the links! Great books. Now only to convince father christams to come down my chimney one more time!
Hey Armand, Nice job and thanks for the Win 2003 tip!
Speeding fines bastards! I know I've got a Pretoria and a little dorpie one lying aroung the house somewhere. Need to get my postal orders ready before the cops get their bakkie ready for my ass!
Armand, gonna check this out tomorrow ;o)
I will be around both the 13th and the 14th - in JHB! I will make definite plan to attend. 9i!e=6
I'm there. Blueberry Grill sounds awesome!
I'm there ... // what an excellent idea dinner.People += MaLio
Rad, 13th is cool for me...!
Sounds like a hoot. I'm in for the 13th.
Count me in too. Splattermail's paying right?
Yeah, lets celebrate the new year!! :)
If I don't find anyone cooler to hang out with I'll be there..
There's no chance!
i aint square; so i'll be there
The Salami from Killarney and smg (still in Transkei) from Splattermail will be there. But you guys can all get f*cked if you think we're paying.
riiight, be a stingy bastard then...
Without being funny, I wonder how suceptable this will be to malicious attack?
OK that's it. Now it's my turn to earn a quick retirement. I bet the guys from Giant Company Software are smiling all the way to the bank... ;)
I think I can make it - I'll be there.
+1
... or the blogs on MSN, blogger, etc. etc. etc. Also, they didn't give a link to Goldstuck's blog, if he has one ;-)
No he hasn't afaik. check out www.gadget.co.za or www.theworx.biz. that's the closest to his blog you'll come i reckon :p will see what his predictions is once he's got his own blog :p
I'll be there (so confirm Craig's attendance as well).
I want skype OUT for free,you awlays want money...$$$...Money...money...I hope you change your mind about the Skype OUT
If its on Thurs, then i can also make it
The AS/400 programmer will be there too. ;)
How can i get free skype free?
So can new guys make an appearance???
For sure, the more the merrier :-)
Hey Sounds like a great Idea!! I will write a test to ensure I will make it...
Assert.IsTrue(BloggingDinner.Attendees.Contains(David.Winslow)); :-)
then i can free call ???
may give mevsenard 1 iso
I like the solution - until you want to deserialize the xml back into an object - doh. I think I just have to accept that my collection can't be the root node and use the workaround Jon B described - too bad cuz otherwise, it serialized perfectly.
Thanks! On my developing machine i had a global.asax with an empty Session_Start() and my hash based on the sessionId worked fine. But on the deploying machine there was no global.asax at all, so it allmost made me nuts...Thanks again
glad it could help you!
The bandwidth consumption by Skype is very minimal. The FAQ on the Skype website that during an active converstaion, Skype uses between 3-16 kb/s. The is quite accurate. I have had 2 long distance calls to China (45 mins each) and noticed that each time between 15-20mb were used. So dont worry about the bandwidth usage.. not only because of this, but also because February 1 is looming with much anticipated changes....
Glad it worked out for you . . .
I don't want SkypeOut for free, I want phone calls for free ;-) gimme!
A useful link that surprisingly few people know about is: http://www.smscode.co.za/ This is where you can find out who's sent you an sms (commercial only), and report them if it's unsolicited. I'm sure most people know that SA is pretty geared up legally to prevent this kind of thing. So report any spam sms and hopefully it'll get dealt with. Unfortunately there are always other ways around it. But you should bitch to CellC!
That's a really interesting example, because its not an online based community, like the others. It certainly brings up the possibility for encounters where people would repeatedly see each other at the gym but never really meet, which is certainly a different form of community from the others. I will recall the example I used last week with the online forum futureproducers.com. This is a perfect example of a Gemeinschaft type community. The entire premise of the forum is built around the concept of helping others out, giving advice and basically being able to tap into a large source of knowledge. An interesting example of Gesellschaft I think would be SETI@home, or the search for extra terrestrial life at home, which is a special screensaver you can download that will use your computer's unused cycles to decode radiotelescope data. This community is definitely bound together by the search for extra terrestrial life, even though they never meet or interact.
Looks like we're going to have to become super-smart consumers. I also subscribed to this service and without carefully watching it sent an invitation to my 100+ strong contacts in my MSN messenger. When other unwitting people subscribe to this service, it sends an email back to me, asking if I want to join! Thankfully, I haven't received any SMS spam or otherwise from the service, but I'll make sure I unsubscribe. Is this the start of American-style force-feed consumerism in our country? (YOU WILL BUY NOW!!!)
I don't know, why don't you ask google?
Did you check TargetProcess:Planning? http://www.targetprocess.com It is free and provide the same functionality as XP StoryStudio.
We bought C# Refactory in the beginning, but now we all think ReSharper is better. It does not have a smany refactorings as C# Refactory right now, but they are adding more and more. And it has some other features that are very nice. www.jetbrains.com/resharper
How does it compare to Resharper?
I've only got Coderush and Refactory installed at the moment. I had some issues with ReSharper but is keen to try it again.
I also used ReSharper for a while (still got it installed) but it completely screw up VS when u start doing compact framework stuff. Don't know why.
Ahh, yes, I knew about this class from way back but couldn't remember the specifics when a colleague asked about extracting month names from dates (yesterday in fact). Who says blogs aren't useful? :-D Thanks!!
buena onda me gusta el skype porque es mas facil sacar las llamadas
i need call by the skype system but it's impossible please help to charge free skype out
Aaaaaaagh! :D Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt!
ooooh what happened there? I tried to post from RSS Bandit, then realized that you have this new comment validation and then added the comment through the browser, enad now I see there is two entries! Not sure what happened there!
I'm also a Resharper fan. It does do some strange things some times, but more than makes up for that with its features
"Microsoft SQL to MySQL" A medal for you for making choices like this. Jolly well done.
Now I'm up to a medal and a T-Shirt for my stupidity :p PS. My database of choice is and always will be Microsoft SQL. I've had the opportunity to work with quite a couple of database engines in the past and still prefer mssql. The clients requirements called for a conversion to MySQL due to some licensing concerns.
I used session variables to store the viewstate, and I distinguished the state for each page by using Guid, and every thing goes fine. private string GetPageGuid() { //on executing SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium on first load, then this.Request.Form["pageGuid"] will return string.Empty //on executing LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium , then pageGuid.Value will return string.Empty since the this.Request.Form will be not populated. return pageGuid.Value == string.Empty ? this.Request.Form["pageGuid"] : pageGuid.Value; } protected override object LoadPageStateFromPersistenceMedium() { return Session[GetPageGuid()]; } protected override void SavePageStateToPersistenceMedium(object viewState) { Session[GetPageGuid()] = viewState; } protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) { base.OnLoad (e); if(!this.IsPostBack) { pageGuid.Value = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); } }
I think I found a problem with this library particularly with the FindFirstFile API call. They seem to have incorrect parameters or something. I found a independant C# sample using the API and the structure they pass to the API looks different - hmmm
Wow, this sounds coooool... Curious - what's the difference in the parameters passed that you spoke of Rudolf?
That's strange - when I hit that link with Firefox - nao problemas.
For FindFirstFile, except for performance reasons why wouldn't you used the managed wrappers in System.IO? I assume you're speaking of a difference in the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure? I haven't tried the FindFirstFile, FindNextFile etc from the library but will give it a go later.
My reason was exactly for that - performance. I have a network share with potentially 100000+ files in it that I want to monitor. The managed wrappers could not handle that.
ok
I'm actually having this problem with any browser I use, as long as it's coming from my IP, if anyone knows what's wrong or how to solve this, please let me know at swannno AT hotmail DOT com. It's frustrating because I can't even google the problem from my home computer!
Why is it not possible to call offline friends on phone and mobile,yet we pay for skype through the use of internet? If this facility is availed,it wouls gain alot of popularity to the other means of communication.
there is another software 2 make free calls its called pulver communcation
Armand: congratulations for your amazing article and very beautiful solution implementation. Saved me days/weeks of R&D! Thanks! Claudio Pacciarini
I'm glad it helped really!
i looking for the answer how to get skypeout
It happens the same to me... What the hell is Google doing?? I`m not infected. I`m changing to Yahoo in the Firefox search tool and I will foruet the fu***ng google.
Is it recognised by Windows XPSP2 Security Centre?
Not sure, i'm running 2k3
Great Stuff Armand. I do have one question though: what is the proper way to pass an array structure to DSOP_INIT_INFO.apwzAttributeNames? I get null pointer problems when I (badly) Marshal an array to pass to COM. Any suggestions?
Here is the solution to the issue raised by Rein Petersen. Just make sure you use the same root element that you told it to serialize as. static public object Load(string XMLString, Type t) { XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(t,new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute("Packages")); StringReader myReader = new StringReader(XMLString); return mySerializer.Deserialize(myReader); } // Load
Sorry let me make that a little clearer if I may: static public object Load(string XMLString, Type t, string RootElementName) { XmlSerializer mySerializer = new XmlSerializer(t,new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(RootElementName)); StringReader myReader = new StringReader(XMLString); return mySerializer.Deserialize(myReader); } // Load
Thanks Chris
Hot damn, you're right dude... beats most of my weekends!
Dont think forums should be here, still think sadev should host discussions etc. Im all for advertising 100%. Although there should be a cut between paying for hosting and your time in admin, and the users blog. I think we are all building profiles and could use this to market ourselves etc to make some extra pocket money. Up for debate tho. Other than that, you know my ideas etc to grown this awesome blogging community :)
Adverts are cool with me too ;) I think bloggers should have to make the decision whether to advertise on his personal blogsite or not. For me, ads on the mainpage should be at Armand's discretion. Urls Please keep them the same :) Forums Yeah, sadev is the place to keep them for now. We could have a blogging-related forum though? Thanks for the effort Armand ;o)
re: forums, maybe we can vamp up the comments section ? or use the forums architecture to plug into the comments ? so you can chat about the blog that was posted....
this code only downloads teh html file, but how i can download the images??
how can i turn off horizontal scrolls?
I mant SkypeOut freeeee......Who want to give a money??? Write me if you found SkypeOut free to Vasko_1@abv.bg
You'll have to parse the file to get the image links and download them individually.

Keep in mind that most of what the Hula project is promising is vapor: the current codebase is a semi-working pile of code and a bunch of promises. Furthermore, the "Groupware BAD" rant is just totally misguided. It sounds good at first, but totally misses the mark. Read http://www.citadel.org/groupware.php">http://www.citadel.org/groupware.php for a more rational take on the subject. Finally, if you're going to look at open source collaboration servers, check out Citadel [http://www.citadel.org]. It delivers *today* much of what Hula is promising to deliver *eventually*.
what about the VB.NET COde? can anybody provide it please?
yeah...u'l be the first to know

Hey I'm jealous, Windhoek rocks. Sorry we had to run, but you know how it is, the up-side is that the client loved it, so we're good. Send my love to Thea ;)
Yeah, we were actually in a small town about 3 hours north called Otjiwarongo, I think the internet infrastructure might be better in Windhoek :-) I'll definitely* send your regards to Thea, actually waiting for her call now. I'm glad it was worth it, the party was great fine but priorities is priorities and I love the commitment you guys show, it really is damn commendable! * Don's spelling lessons is working
Cool! Heading there right away...
Welcome back dude... (who did you fly with?!) ...they played the original Numa Numa song at my gym last night...
I flew with SAA, except for the lack of communication I have no real complaints about them :-)
How can object spaces concept be implemented in ASP.NET?
cool
A Win32 library for .NET
Sounds very cool Armand. I definitely need to become that sophisticated with my own dev environment. I've never even tried going the Virtual PC route (I just buy a new machine!) In fact, I'm looking for a new flat to rent with a spare bedroom just for my machines! :-D I'm curious about the performance over time so please update in a few months :-)
Damn, that landing was awful - at a stage I thought that was the end ;)
lol, that is funny! And the flat must have redundant power supplies as well and a backup generator :P
I was beginning to think they just had a personal conspiracy plan against me. The lies, the ineffeciency, the incompetence, is unbelievable - I run an internet business, my digital line is my life line - for 2 weeks I had promises and more promises as I watched my business fade - finally - yippeee it was back up and running. But within 24 hours the landline went down - that was 2 weeks ago. Oh - and they don't do compensation for loss of earnings, but they will cut you without a second thought if you don't pay on time. Even sweetheart Joseph at - tshifajm@telkom.co.za - whoever he may be - daily replies to my e-mails that are cc'd onto another telkom body to ask someone to get back to me on the status of my line. Of course - there is never a response to this. Can anyone do anything against these guys !!!! Someone out there must be able to help.
Really wish someone could do something but unfortunately it seems to be the trend of service from our lovely telecoms monopoly holder. Just as a note, once technicians have come out to our premises they've always been courteous and professional. The problem for me has always been the incompetent call centres and general lack of ownership there. Maybe try Thea's approach and email every single Telkom address you can find every hour, it worked for us : http://dotnet.org.za/thea/archive/2004/01/22/212.aspx
how abt Spyglass?
Good names, sad thing in the end we never picked a name.
I wrote a review on that book here: http://www.ayende.com/Blog/BookReviewCodingSlave.aspx I didn't like it very much.
Thanks, I'll check it out. Still waiting for my copy.
Innovations like these make Google as brilliant as they are.
It is a smart idea which benefits the user. Which makes me wonder if the MSN Search team will be able to swallow their pride and implement the same?
This evening - about 12 dropped lines in half an hour .... and I'm trying to work. Every time it is money for Telkom. What do they care. And yes, after numerous calls to Telkom 'support'. at my expense and about 10 changes to my internet settings (sometimes reverting to original and being told to 'try again', I have given up. I just don't understand it. They must be the worst ISP int he world, yet they're THE telephone company. It doesn't make sense!
good
A problem arises when you have a collection class that is derived from CollectionBase and then you have such collection as a property of a parent class. Then the problem is when you try to use the XmlSerializer on the parent class. public MyClass { public MyCollection Items; : } public MyCollection : CollectionBase { : }
I just love the way MS are having to play catch-up with things like this! :-)
Glad to see you using a decent operating system like Linux for a change :-P
Why don't you like firefox? It is the coolest fastest slickest browser available and tabbed browsing just makes my life so much easier! Also there is no spyware out for it so it is actualy safe to browse :-)
Thanks, this has saved me a little bit of pain. I'm experimenting with new blog tools and I really like RSS Bandit and I'm in two minds now between IMHO and W:Bloggar.
Would help if <i>someone</i> would give me my disks back ;-)
ok, i'm a closet firefox user :P
I agree with my whole heart. Thank you for pointing this out, and thank you for the great site!
Yes, I think he's a bit of a cry baby... His parents probably beat him with a stick as a child. The only way he could escape this torture was to run into a world of aliens, vortexes and flying cars. Sweet lord! Only five year olds and social misfits are 'passionate' about Sci-Fi. Watching Sci-Fi is cool, but running a campaign for "Sci-Fi Messiah of Africa" is a bit much. Sci-Fi channel is dead, deal with it buddy. I know that he will read this and think: "This Johann is a doos" or "Shame, maybe he'll grow up one day". I don't care dude, you have no sense of humor and you take yourself WAY too seriously. Chill out Rudolf. Get laid or drunk or something... It will do you good.
PS- Yes Armand, you site rocks! You allow comments with 'naughty' words too... Good on ya buddy!
You reffering to us bro?
Rich...! No dude! The timing of this post might seem like it referred to the Sharples post but you guys have the integrity to stand by what you say and much respect for that!! This post referred to a local blogger here on dotnet.org.za. And after seeing his comments I'll post the link to the post I referred to...

AJAX rocks. But that makes me wonder - isn't it in essence a smart client?! hmmm.... Smart client rocks.
Komaan. Dit sou my eerste post gewees het vanoggend!! Onthou jy's op SA tyd, so ek't 'n verskoning! :o)<br /><br />Ja-nee, baie oulike util die. Ek is net so 'n bietjie worried oor security - dit lyk nie asof die Javascript file wat hy dinamies bou enige sekuriteits inligting terugpos nie. Dit beteken dat jy vanaf enige plek kan post sonder om eers op die regte site te wees. En jy kan presies sien hoe om te post deur die script file oop te maak.<br /><br />Ek het self omtrent 3 jaar gelede so 'n program geskryf (met ten minste session security) in VB6. Maar toe was AJAX nog nie ge-coin nie en die source code behoort nou aan vorige my werkgewer. D'Oh!!
Ernst, it's different from smart clients because you can't work disconnected using AJAX techniques.
I disagree. AJAX IS disconnected.
Using AJAX techniques or an AJAX engine behind the scenes works like your normal http request/response interaction. The trick is just your users don't see this happening. They don't see the request/responses between the browser and the web server. Something I also need to correct which is not entirely correct in my post is that the combination of the technologies that make up AJAX entails much more than what you get by implementing script callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0. Script callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0 is just a technology that can be used to simplify the implementation of one of the technologies required, namely the asynchronous transfer bits.
Adam, how do you make an asynchronous request to a remote server if you have no connection to it? Maybe I'm missing the point, would be cool if you clarified a bit :-)
please can I download?
Sure, the link is in the post :-)
----->What are u looking at?<------- WTF Im your God deal with it!!
^_~
One question: will posting from other browsers that IE work better now? Like Firefox. Before the web controls did not work is anything other than IE.
Good stuff dude, shout if you need help from deep dark Africa :)
Arno - I will definately thanks. Let me know when you get back from deep dark Africa :-) We need to discuss some stuff asap.
Rudolf - The limitation was on the text input control used in .Text. Previous versions of FreeTextBox didn't support the same rich UI in Firefox than it did in IE. Newer versions works fine in both browsers. (The alternative would've been to upgrade the one used in .Text to FTB3 but seeing we're upgrading anyways it would've been a wasted effort.)
Looking forward to the upgrade - broken image links are a small price to pay.
Cant wait and thanks for giving us a blogging home!
Dis nou lekker.
Cool stuff, I can't wait. Will any external blogging URLs be changed? ie. Will we need to reconfigure IMHO, W.Bloggar, etc.?
That did change unfortunately. I'll post some more information on those changes a bit later.
Sorry for the spelling mistake -> definitely* http://www.joblog.co.za/2005/03/sp.html
Hi Armand, The download you listed seems to be missing. I get a 'The download you requested is unavailable' error. Perhaps the URL got truncated?
you guys rock! can you keep me updated with your videos by sending me emails to jays0n_ng@hotmail.com
Hi, I am using the <a href='http://www.dualphone.co.za' target='_blank'>Skype Dualphone</a> - it works like a charm and allows you to be portable. No more waiting at the computer to receive calls. I chatted to New Zealand for 2 hours and it was crystal clear!
pourquoi ce n'est pas gratuit
I haven't been playing with C# (or .NET for that matter) for very long, so I have been searching a lot for .config file examples. This is awesome. I haven't found any examples that can group sections in this much detail (most of the examples have been for ASP). Thanks A Lot!
...or not. :-(
check again punk ;-)
Congratulations dude! You are, in my humble opinion, totally and utterly friggen insane, but congratulations anyway. And you didn't tell me your bro blogged - subscribed!
All I can say is 'Respect', but I have to agree with Kevin's comment - crazy! Next time you have to run faster, 5 hrs are very long to wait for you at the finish ;) Aim for 2hr 45 min...
goeie hell! does this mean that your Ironman preparations are on track? now it's just Simon Stewart we worry about !!! or was that me ...
Ryan, this is actually for our Comrades build-up. Will worry about that next year :P Have you dusted the cobwebs of your bike yet?

SkypeOut is not free
dfdf
such a n00bs here, wining about skypeout for fre.. well forget it, thats not gonna happen! make sure all of your friends get the regualr skype, then you dont need skypeout...
Kyk waar kom ek uit :)
free SkypeOut
I'll be there. Depending on the date of course, but most wednesdays / thurtsdays should be fine. Blueberry was great! I vote there.
I vote for the 23rd (I might be able to convince my wife to join). Trumps is probably going to be easier for me to get to, so I'm partial to having it at Trumps.
23 is cool. Would prefer Blueberry Grill, but don't mind too much.
Don't mind where or when, I'll be there... Can't think that I have anything planned that far into the future!!!
I should be there. Either place should be cool. Wednesday the 22nd is better for me as I have a personal trainer session on Thursday evenings. Otherwise Thursday after 19h00.
Craig, a personal trainer session you say, ok, that's the most creative possible excuse so far ;-)
Its not an excuse, its da twoof. :)
I did it!! All of u who want free SkypeOut calls...........Theres a program called SkypeAss...all u have to do is give yo cheap ass to Skype programmers and get 5 ...yes u read it right 5!! free calls a week!!! now aint that cool?!!! well, im paying.....
Blueberry Grill would be easier for me, but either. I can't make it on Wednesday 22nd since that's when my under 40's touch rugby league is having its Boney M party. We'll also be doing a brainstorming session for our Touched By An Angel fan fiction site later that evening so i really can't make an exception... (take that Craig)
Darn, I forgot about the Touch By An Angel meeting Wednesday. Can't miss that.
See you there...!
HAHA
i pee on you cause im sick off skypeeeing on me and the crack is here dum ass
Hell yeah. I'll just have to get my hair done the night before, which might clash with my bingo club... Bollocks. I'll be there.
Shame, Thea's giving up Girl Scouts to be there. She promised cookies.
The ChumpStylers will definately try to be there...
Wez, don't you have badmington practice dude?
I'll be there for sure, but I vote Clive puts RSS and comments on his site, or else he has to sit at the table next to the Blogging Dinner table and worship from afar...
I'll be there - provided that some dumbass burglar doesn't try to attack me again...This time I'll be armed with more than just a frigging barstool.
PS: I vote 22 June @ Blueberry Grill But then beggars can't be choosers
i vote 23rd. Got an ultimate frisbee game against guys from pretoria on 22nd. if anyone wants to come play (beginners welcome) email me.
Yeah, Thea's cookie('s)
That is brilliant dude...
23rd is better for the salami. 22 is my unlucky number.
Blueberry +1
I'm surprised none of you have found out how to get SkypeOut to make free calls! I found it out a while back and have been using it for a while! FREE SKYPEOUT RULES!!
Thanks for sorting this out, and your ongoing commitment to the local blogging community Armand - I am not sure if everyone realises that you don't actually get paid to do this, so thanks on their behalves as well.
I'm not so sure either, and I'd also like to take the opportunity to say thanks a gajillion Armand! We really appreciate all the effort you're putting into this.
Well done and thanks Armand for sorting it out. :)
Hey, how do u get free Skype out? Please tell me,i'd really dig it.
Hey SIBORG_HACKER, if you can, do u think u can e-mail me at thebleckwun@walla.com to tell me how u get free calls? i'd really appreciate it. Shot bru...
Armand, you can even bump the maxWorkerThreads up to 100 (this value automatically gets mutliplied by the number of CPU's. Mate, thanks for all the effort also.
BTW, Check out this article for recommended settings if you haven't already done so ;o)( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/scalenetchapt06.asp
Good to see you back mate! I forgot about that article and the recommended settings, will "tune" the server a bit more :P
King Rudi, its so easy! Surely you can do it?
Siborg_hacker, how is it done to get the free calls on outskype? could you please explain how...? thankyouplease ahmad coldplaymed ahmad@cold.play.co.in
sorry ya'll. i've been busy "workin"! well you cant get FREE SkypeOut unless you actually have a SkypeOut account. I found out a way to get it free while using SkypeOut. I didnt crack the normal Skype.. you have to get SkypeOut.. I'm in the process of "cracking" the standard Skype. But the only way atm is to get the SkypeOut... how many of you actually have SkypeOut.. if you got it.. i'll tell ya how its done!
ive got it
Armand, you KNOW I'm there like a beer... I mean bear. Ok I lie, I mean beer. Doesn't matter about the day.
to [SIBORG_HACKER] Yeah, and then you can send that zipped .exe file that will make "SkypeOut free" via email to everybody who wants it. And they will discover that it's not workin' and theyre PC's are gettin fu**ed up. ;p
Perfect. Just 2 notes: 1. line 10 should be ToolboxData("<{0}:IFrame runat=server></{0}:IFrame>")] 2. src will be easier chosen with URLEditor, so add following attribute: [Editor(typeof(System.Web.UI.Design.UrlEditor),typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
thanks kevin. seeing as how i intend spending every free minute of my next few weeks watching "dr quinn medicine woman" reruns, i'll be needing that kiddies table that's far far away.
Added to my calender ;o)
Armand, you might wanna correct the vCalendar file as it contains the wrong dates. :p DTSTART:20050113T160000Z DTEND:20050113T210000Z
i'm not that type of person [QAZAR] besides ive sent the info to AHMAD so ask him if it works!!
i'm not that type of person [QAZAR] besides ive sent the info to AHMAD so ask him if it works!! ive also added him to my skypeout contact list
send me info at tetsuruuzuki@aol.com thanks
Don't know about anyone else, but I got nailed last night with spam comments (nearly 50)! Andre tells me he had the same problem.
Thanks dude, fark i hate these dumbbass idtions !
While you're in a fixing mood? http://dotnet.org.za/Opml.aspx
I'm guessing we're looking at 19h30ish?
Same here, I got about 20 or so.
I'm getting spammed more than ever today!! Doesn't look like this code is working properly :S
Matt, the spam "wave" today is comment spam. The change last night was for trackback spam. I'll revise the comment spam blocking code over the weekend. Can't f*cking win with these f*ckers.
dasBlog has had comment spam blocking for a while now, and it works like a charm (uses MT blacklist, I haven't even had a whiff of a problem since). On the trackback front, <a href="http://www.shahine.com/omar/TakeThatYouPeskyTrackbackSpammer.aspx">Omar</a> has promised to do blocking in the next few weeks. I keep on getting hit like crazy on one of my <a href="http://www.d2.co.za/blog/loveisawonderfulthing.aspx">old entries</a>... Nuts!
I've booked from 18h00 onwards, 19h30 is sharp
Is it too late to throw my name in?
siborg_hacker, can you please send me the same information. JCRoyale@gmail.com KANX

Thanks Armand for all your trouble!
Heck, I got 300 just today... thanks dude, this is seriously pissing me off. Oh yes, I see you have contacts... I would want to like some Viagra and to playing poker better. Yes? I phone you.
what a bunch of losers..if anyone had the crack it would be round the planet in minutes...instead you get the odd ass saying he's got it and doesn't have it...
I know just how long it took eventually (Armand didn't have much of a weekend), so thanks a million!!!
I'll post my notes on upgrading .Text to ASP.NET 2.0 tonight. Thanks Thea :P
That's great news. Thanks Armand. You do alot for the community and we really appreciate this.
Thanks Armand, nice job. Pity I didn't read this before I disabled comments on all my posts :-( now I need to go back and undo that. Sigh, that will teach me to be more patient.
Dude, first the Comrades, now this, are you trying to take over from "The Hoff"? :-) Good stuff man.
Thanks Armand, I think I know how much of mission it is. I'll buy you two beers next time I see you. :)
Thanks alot Armand
Is there a way to control the serialization process when a web service is performing it? Thanks Emiliano
yes I want it freeee
Mese muri mhata panapa. You cant expect to make free calls can you? Just pay the bitches and call. Makes life easier. Arseholes
hey there; i'd certainly be interested. IM me and let's see what you want.
I'm keen too. Let me know what you need.
I'm very interested in the Winforms side. I have about five hours free every weekday and more on weekends.
I am very much interested.. send me an email regarding the details at jomargon@gmail.com
Im willing to helkp armand, although im here in san diego right now. is there any possibility that you would allow me to help you even with the barrier of location?
ei armand! can you give me the source of your .Text. i want to see the 2.0 version. thanks! :)
Thanks for the offers, we've got someone to do it but will post other contracts here if relevant. On the location, it's not important to be geographically close.
Hi Keith, I will email you the svn details, you can pull it from there.
i ran into a similar problem after i took a single application offline using the web based admin console. Do you know if there's any Ms. Provided ui by which you can take offline applications online again? Where would this .htm file you talk about exist?
The file is located in the root of your site. I'm not sure about the web admin though.
Test
Nice going.. PS - What is happening with your conversion to CS?
We're looking at alternative hosting solutions, when moving to the new server I'll migrate the posts to CS
too late to keep angry customers me thinks
Are you developing in Windows or in Linux? (excuse the ignorance; but the screenshot is a Gnome app)
That's from a Linux box from his blog. I dual-boot with SUSE but haven't tried the add-in yet. Will try over the weekend and post an update.
Hey I'm pretty much interested in the job. And I'll love to do this one.
Glad you got it going mate, it's a very cool concept. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it once you can get some time to play more!
Hey Chris, Thanks for the code... I have my object (derived from CollectionBase) serializing/deserializing as the root node very nicely. Except, I'm missing some attributes (public properties) that I had added to the collection. I'm thinking the XmlAttributeOverrides class might be the solution but thus far I haven't got it working... Has anyone achieved serializing/deserializing an CollectionBase (derived) as the root node with attributes? Rein
Compared to the Firefox extension, this plugin sucks (no @import, '.' key doesn't work, copy'n'paste with keyboard doesn't work, mixed up entries, etc.). But it's better than nothing.

Isn't this Indigo?
Indigo -> Communication Foundation. This is workflow. Initially I thought that maybe local boys Sourcecode with K2.NET had a finger in the pie there somewhere but it seems it's a complete MS workflow solution. K2 can leverage of some of the WWF functionality though.
So now I can get workflow in Sharepoint, Biztalk, Exchange ... and Vista?
