Here's an interesting thing. MyST Technology Partners have built an Office Research Service to access all content from the aggregation of RD blogs. You add it to your Research Pane, with things like the Dictionary and Encyclopedia. You can also right click on a word within Word and "Lookup" that word in a list of blogs.  What a great way...

Apparently there's a number of places online that say this can't be done. We needed to be able to add pages to an existing application that were basically "sub-applications," and they'd have their own /bin folder, but still be in the same VDIR and participate in the same IIS Application. So instead of: /webapp  default.aspx  foo1.aspx...

I'm saving this so I can find it easily later. Chris Sells has a post that describes how to give a Mapped Network Drive "FullTrust." Thanks Chris! [When loading a Project from a Network Drive (like Z:\, perhaps within a VPC) you may receive:] The project location is not trusted. Running the application may result in security exceptions...

Folks, help me out by voting for this obvious accessibility issue in VS.NET 2005 (Whidbey) Beta 1: Description: Opened by Scott Hanselman on 2004-10-26 at 23:21:05     The /fs "Font Size" switch has been REMOVED from the DevEnv.exe command line in Whidbey. This is an accessibility issue that prevents folks who are visually...

Folks keep trying to push metaphors (or similes, like, depending on how you say it) a smidge too far. Steve Maine had some words for Mark Baker. That said: Patrick and I sat down to talk about this: REST: I write a letter, a document even, and it has no address on it and doesn't even say "Dear Patrick." I tell the Postman, remembering that I'm...

IMHO, it’s because converting (both projects and your mind) to VB6 to .NET is hard. VB6 existed for one reason and one reason only – to hide the complexities of COM. VB6 was the Matrix, while VB.NET is as powerful as C#. Some folks say, well, while I'm here, I'll just move over to a language with "C" in it, and maybe I'll get more money? VB.NET...

I got myself into some kind of voodoo/Bermuda Triangle situation where my TCP/IP stack was boogered and when I said "IPCONFIG" I was greeted with a single line, and NO listings of any of my Adapters. However, Greg Hughes gave me this magic command line: netsh int ip reset logfile.txt Lord help me I don't know exactly what this did, but it fixed...

There was a story on EWeek about the XmlDevCon. It's a very good article, actually. There was a certain amount of XML bashing, as XML does have its problems, as eloquently pointed out to by the likes of Tim Bray and Sam Ruby. It was nice for Corillian, Patrick and I to be pointed out as success stories: Not every aspect of XML is judged to be a...
