I'm planning to get rid of setting our Theme in ASP.NET
Sunday, December 16, 2007The auto inclusion of all our CSS files has finally become too annoying. We'll still use the app_theme directory, as it is a handy way to store our stuff... but I'm really hoping to not set the theme, and to add the appropriate CSS for the situation (mobile vs desktop for example) while also combining our CSS files and 'minifying' them all through a simple 'css.ashx' style handler. This should make it easier to do that combining at run time, while leaving them nice and separate for debug and development purposes. We might still have it set in development [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -

Internal Microsoft tool, eScrum, is available to the public...
Friday, June 22, 2007We (the dev team behind Channel 9, Channel 10, Mix Online, and others...)been doing scrum-ish development for a few sprints now, but we recently switched to using eScrum. This is a set of templates and tools for use with Team Foundation Server and it really rocks. There are few less-than-polished elements about the install and the web interface, but I'm glad they shipped it out for general use. You can read a good summary of eScrum on the blog 'A Developer's Life', which is also a good resource for lots of other Visual Studio related news.

Need to write a parser of your own?
Tuesday, June 12, 2007I haven't had to write a parser since university, but if I had to write one now I'd definitely be checking out Tommy Carlier's 10 part series showing how to write a parser for a demo programming language of his own creation. [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
Check out the new Community Bar on on10.net
Tuesday, November 28, 2006One of my jobs over the past couple of weeks has been to build a javascript based 'toolbar' that could run across the top of on10.net and show folks headlines aggregated from a variety of Microsoft Community sites. So, along with a bunch of help from Adam and Erik, I managed to get it finished and deployed today. You can see it on top of the page on 10 If it overlaps with the logo for you, try forcing a refresh using ctrl+f5 in IE... or just picking reload/refresh in whatever browser you use... the css had to change to [read more...]Filed under | 2 comments »Share this -

Ok, cool plug-ins for Windows Live Writer cropping up all over
Monday, August 21, 2006If you are a dev, then this code formatting plug-in is probably the coolest thing out there... I'm still ranking Tim's Flickr plug-in as #1 at the moment, at least my slightly customized version that is, but if you'd like a list of several available plug-ins then this spaces entry is a good place to check out. Of course, if you have no idea what Windows Live Writer is... check out this video from on10.net :) [read more...]Filed under | 0 comments »Share this -
Source Code formatting/coloring (colouring!) for your ASP.NET web site
Tuesday, July 11, 2006Kent points us to a free ASP.NET control that pretties up any source code you output to your site... most systems I've used convert the code into html, but this one lets you leave it in its proper form (for downloading or copying to the user's clipboard) and does the coloring at runtime.
