.NET occasional blog entries

04/19/2005 - .NET HTML->XHTML conversion

Haven't evaluated this yet but a guy at work sent me this link claiming it was a .NET library that could be used to replace TidyCOM.  Definitely will have to check this out this weekend.

03/07/2004 - Ker Slam... on /. of course... I tend to agree:

"Richard Grimes of Dr. Dobbs Journal wrote an article entitled Mr. Grimes' Farewell, in which he discusses what he feels are inherent flaws in .NET, and how he is abandoning his .NET column. Grimes argues that .NET is merely thin wrappers to Win32 calls (Avalon uses message functions that date back to 16-bit Windows), that Microsoft has abandoned confidence in both .NET and sales of Longhorn, and that the framework itself is too large and poorly implemented, most of it ported from past APIs like WFC and VB. Dan Fernandez, Microsoft's Visual C# Project Manager, has responded in his blog. Richard Grimes appears in the comments to defend his criticism, referencing first-hand disassembly of .NET APIs using ildasm. Scott Swigart has also responded to the criticism of Visual Basic .NET. Apparently, Mr. Grimes struck some nerves."

11/22/2004 - Build Events

In some projects build events aren't available from the IDE (WebApplications, WebServices) you can still use them though.

  • Put your DOS commands in .bat file in the main project directory
  • Edit the csproj file
  • Edit pre/postBuldEvent
    • Example: PostBuildEvent = "..myPostBuildEvent.bat"
  • To get around "BuildEvent failed" errors in the build (i.e. ignore all dos errors) put Echo 0 (zero) at the end of you .bat file.
  • Once you test your .bat file make sure to put a "cd .." at the top of it so it'll run in the right directory (since it's being launched from the bin directory)

11/16/2004 - .NET 2005 Beta Warning
Installed the 2005 .NET Beta a few weeks ago... it corrupted my entire development environment. Had to reinstall the O/S to get things working again. Not sure why this happened - but, if you're thinking of trying this out... user beware. (entered by ben)

11/16/2004 - SharpDevelop update
Forgot to write up the brief trial with SharpDevelop. It seemed pretty useable. The interop stuff was really weak, but, for generic .NET development it was definitely a good bet if you couldn't afford the MS .NET IDE. Still haven't used it extensively (just for a day or so) since I have the MS .NET IDE (entered by ben)

09/15/2004 - SharpDevelop
I haven't tried SharpDevelop yet but it's getting good reviews. It's a free IDE for .NET. If you're cash poor and need to do some .NET development it beats the few thousand dollars that MS charges for thier IDE. (ben, 09/15/2004).

This is 3 years since your last post, though...

So.. you made a wiki dedicated to .NET and on the first page explain that it is too expensive to use?

From ben [12.18.186.200] - 11/15/04 1:49 PM

pashute,

this isn't done in .net.  the problem with doing anything MS on the net is that hosting costs are 3 times what they are for linux.  the owner of editme.com did it in java on linux.  this would be easy to do in .net but you'd have huge costs (windows, sql server, etc.).  to do these wikis you generally need your own box - which, for a Windows box, costs a minimum of $300/mo... usually much more.

So its not a dot net?

Looks VERY nifty, but are you thinking of making a .net Wiki (with Whidbey VS 2005 beta...?)

IMHO if you only drop a word to MS, they'll come running to help you. (If you want I can contact you with development in my country (Israel).

The beta 2005 is out for free (in express edition which should be enough).
