I recently started working with SharePoint 2007 and needed to create a WebPart to allow Single Sign on functionality for various older ASP.Net application. With some help from both Zlatan Dzinic and Steve Oberholzer I was able to build the control fairly quickly. I posted the process and sample code here to hopefully help others having to build WebParts. I am hoping to post some more SharePoint related articles shortly including how to add the assembly to SharePoint. In the meantime keep an eye on...
I will be the first to admit that I am a bit late catching on to the whole Subversion and CruiseControl.Net revolution. In the past my project managers rarely found any value in these tools, and I will admit it is still rare to find a project manager who does. After being introduced to CVS a few months back I started investigating various development tools, not only to improve productivity but also to learn. The first product I started looking at in earnest was Subversion. About 3 months ago I installed...
In the last 2 month I have completed 2 project using AJAX . Both project required integration into external systems, the one into AccPac , and the other into Oasis, a sample management system based on FirebirdSQL and TCP/IP communication with a third party service. Both project were written in C# and ASP.Net 2.0. I have been suitable impressed with the power of AJAX and the various ways it can be implemented into a website. Website interfaces are finally becoming as powerful as their Windows counterparts...
The last few weeks I have spent a lot of time training junior developers and giving introduction courses into ASP.Net Web Development. One of the most powerful features of ASP.Net 2.0 is the ability to retrieve and view data from the database, make updates and inserts, and delete data without having to write any actual code. The power of this is nicely illustrated by the To Do List sample at ASP.Net AJAX. Since I tend to repeat myself often lately when it comes to how to do this I decided to put...

The first exciting bit of Development news I have is that Telligent, the makers of Community Server, has released the next generations of their server software called Community Server 2007. The new version sports a new skinning mechanism called Chameleon, improved performance, new forum and blogging features as well as the normal bells and whistles associated with new ASP.Net applications. They have also brought out new licensing options, including an Express Edition with restricted features however...
I went through my project list this morning and realised how many different projects I am involved in, and more importantly how wide the scope of these projects are. It is very rare for me to not be involved in multi projects at the same time, and this month is no different. Asset Management System (AMS) The AMS system I mentioned before. It is a 3-Tier application which allows companies to use PDT barcode scanners and RF Tags to keep track of all the company assets. The current architecture of this...
I have never been a big fan of Crystal Reports. I admit it is an extremely powerful tool and once you understand how to use and implement the solution it works well. However the costs in running it has never been a create drawing card for me. There has been a lot of hype around the Microsoft SQL Reporting Services and one of the neat features of the RDL reporting system is the ability to do client side reporting without the need of Reporting Services. By creating RDLC reports the Microsoft Report...
Getting to the office today I was handed the keys to getting Microsoft Certified.

I recently needed to be able to achieve two distinct goals with a Windows Service I was writing, the first was the ability to receive command line parameters and the second the ability to run in debug mode. This would also allow for easier debugging without having to register and install the service and then attempt to attach to the process, and after some research came up with the following solution:
Quick Overview
Start service with commandline parameters (from Command Prompt as well as Service Management)
Pass -d parameter to service to allow starting and running from command line without registering as a service
...After looking at the source code and reviewing the functional specification I agreed to assist in the redesign and redevelopment of the project. During this process I learned a considerable amount regarding the languages I am using and some important features of the .Net Framework and C#...
