  • Recursive Fields in Umbraco with XSLT

    I’ve been working with Umbraco quite a bit lately and I’m really loving it as a content management framework. I’ve already converted GeekGive.org, GeekRoadTrip.com, and I’m working on a few others. Being a developer though I often find myself outside the box and today is no different. I’m building a site where the homepage will actually reflect ...

  • Code Recovery Services

    Do you have a .NET assembly that you’ve lost the source code for? Has the assembly been obfuscated thereby rendering tools like Reflector useless? I have done a few community talks entitled “May the Source Stay With You” based upon my work in code recovery and these services are available to you.

  • Community Event Website Tips

    Every user group, conference, or other community event has a website. It’s a great way to provide easy accessibility to event information. Except a good number of sites don’t do that very well. I am increasing frustrated by the amount of effort required to find even the simplest detail about a user group such as a GPS-able address or contact ...

  • Visual Studio Project and Solution Version Compatibility

    I should be able to open a Visual Studio 2008 solution in Visual Studio 2010 and still be able to open it in Visual Studio 2008 again. Currently, I cannot do incremental upgrades across a team of developers or share solutions with another developer with a newer version. Every release of Visual Studio I talk to countless developers who encounter ...

  • The Code Coverage Mirage

    In an online Q&A webcast with Scott Hanselman today the topic of Code Coverage was raised. One audience member asked what the optimal level of Code Coverage is. The answer is that there isn’t an optimal level because Code Coverage can be a misleading statistic. Take for example the following method:public class Math { public static int ...

  • What is Community?

    I’ve travelled the world and the seven seas… ok, ok, just North America, but since September of 2007 I’ve had the opportunity to visit nearly 100 community events from user group meetings, code camps, micro-conferences to major tradeshows such as Tech-Ed and PDC. During my travels I’ve been able to talk one on one with numerous user group leaders ...

Often though I find myself frustrated by having to deal with formatting and extraneous information before even looking at the code. To that end I have some rules for releasing sample code.

  • Visual Studio Code Formatting

    Working on a website in Visual Studio I found myself annoyed again by the extra spaces around <script /> tags when I type Ctrl+K+D (Format Code). It turns out however that this is easy to change. As with most Visual Studio customizations, the answer lies in Tools > Options. Under Tools > Options > Text Editor > Html > Format, ...

    Just announced, registration is now open for Microsoft Tech·Ed 2010, June 7-10, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tech·Ed isn’t the only reason you should come to New Orleans though.
