Someone asked me to show them how to do something via CSS, and this is the example I came up with. Thought I'd post it on here for posterity:

Run VS in admin mode on Win7 for remote access
Wednesday, June 23, 2010This is really one of those duh kinda things, but I thought I'd just put it up here in case it helps at all. Once I made the switch to Win7 on my work PC, I noticed when I remote desktop'd in I could not run the debugger for an already open VS instance without shutting down and starting as admin. I noticed in some screencast from people such as Phil Haack that the VS window had "(Administrator)" in the title bar. This made a little light bulb appear over my head as I had an "aha!" moment: just runFiled under | 0 comments » -
SVN Tree Conflicts
Wednesday, June 23, 2010One thing that has always baffled me and my co-workers is SVN tree conflicts. I thought it would be a good idea to keep track of different scenarios that result in tree conflicts as an exercise in demystifying them.

DynamicProxy
Sunday, March 14, 2010I am working with a co-worker on some demos for a new business layer that we'd like to implement. We want to automatically call methods when property values are set rather than call the same thing over and over and over. I have been trying to figure out an easy way to do this.
My co-worker came up with using generics as properties, but I wanted to try looking at another option. I started looking at attributes and events.

Automating TortoiseSVN
Saturday, March 13, 2010So the whole reason I started this stupid blog was so I'd have a place to fall back on with all the interesting crap I found on the interwebz. Yeah, that worked out well...
So why the hell am I not just adding every cool thing I find?!? Because it is way easier to bookmark it. Hell, I use this pre-alpha version of Oxite and I gotta type in my HTML markup by hand. How archaic is that! :)

SVN post-commit trigger
Saturday, March 13, 2010We use a post-commit trigger at work to notify the team of all commits made to the repository. I needed to make so modifications, so I thought I'd update my sorely neglected blog with the details. You know, for the kids...

DevConnections 2009
Sunday, November 08, 2009It has been a while since my last post, but I will have plenty of goodies to add. Tomorrow I will be heading to the DevConnections conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV. If you haven't attended on of the DevConnections conferences I highly recommend it. I am really looking forward to Scott Gu's keynote. I am sure he is going to show off all the latest and greatest from ASP.NET 4 and VS 2010. I have already seen some stuff and it looks awesome. I may even have to install the 2010 beta to check out some ofFiled under | 0 comments » -
jQuery Rating Plugin
Tuesday, September 15, 2009I am thinking about adding a star rating to one of the sites at work, so I started poking around for what was available in a jQuery plugin. Surprisingly, there are quite a few plugins but none that I totally fell in love with. they either don’t degrade, or use form elements I don’t hink they should, or whatever. I thought it would be a good excercise to try and roll my own plugin. I started of checking out some how-to’s for jQuery plugin writing, but I usually learn better by doing, so I started with the closest thing I -
Javascript beautifier
Saturday, September 12, 2009I am looking into a jQuery star rating plug-in and I cannot seem to fins one that fits exactly what I want. There are a few out there, but many require javascript, and those that do degrade with js off aren’t exactly what I want. I stumbled on starbox, but it is for Prototype. It looks really nice and I thought it might be fun to try and port an existing plug-in. I’d get something I like and get some good jQuery experience in the process, which is a win/win in my book. The problem is starbox isn’t a freebie,Filed under | 0 comments » -
CodeRush XPress
Sunday, September 06, 2009I recently tried a 30-day trial of ReSharper. If you haven’t tried it, you are missing out. I have been pushing my boss to buy the license, but with the tough economy they are reluctant to spend the cash right now. So, I downloaded CodeRush XPress and gave that a spin. It is pretty sweet for a freebie. I’d highly recommend it if you haven’t tried it. I think ReSharper is better, but it is sorta like comparing apples to oranges. ReSharpers $350 price tag puts it out of my range for personal use, but I can certainly afford free.Filed under | 0 comments »
