So, I managed to finish one of the websites I wanted to finish last week. I got started on the second but just didn’t quite find the time to finish it. It happens. Beyond that the CSS Reboot is almost here, and while I have an idea of what I want to do I don’t [...]

Websites…

Just finished one of the two websites I planned on having finished this week. Got a little behind, as well as got a few other things on my plate, but I might be able to pull it off. The next site, for the most part has all the layout done on it so now I [...]

Made in Express

So the next great conquest? I’m working on my write up to enter the Made in Express Contest. I’ve got an idea for it, but I won’t say what it is of course until the finalists get picked. Of course finalist or no, I’m liking the idea so I’ll probably write it anyways, but it [...]

Alright, now before all three people who read this start hanging me for the title of the post, or poo gets flung by all the code monkeys around the net, I am not implying that PowerBuilder is an upgrade to .NET. However, since I haven’t posted in a while and there has been ample time [...]

isDate in VB.NET

Wow, I asked if this was a date, not “Please format this as a date and check it for me….” So on this project we’ve been having some fun with the testers on the user side, and one of which sent us an issue saying “I entered 7/////////7 for a date and it accepted that [...]

So of late, when I haven’t been bogged down at work trying to push out this project for it’s release date, I’ve been going back to my roots. That is I’ve started programming in C again. Wow, it had been a while and took a few moments to realize how much work I have to [...]

Much Better

Ahh, what looks to be the last long night for a while is over and already the weight seems to be lifting. There are still issues of course, and bugs to be fixed, waiting on the client for a few more specifications that have taken a good month to deliver….So as I feel my eyes [...]

So today’s task, write a javascript calendar so that we don’t have to have postbacks and can allow the user to pick dates. Really the point of doing it is so that we get dates formatted to our specifications but don’t tell the users that. So anyways, I got that finished, and I’ll be posting [...]

VistaDB

Been a little while since my last post, but I’ve been down with bronchitis and a few other things that has put me on a nice cocktail of drugs that say to take with food or without so I have to actually sit down and plan out my day’s worth of meals and such. Not [...]

So I think I jinxed myself earlier with that post about it being slow. I’m now on hour 16 at the office with no end in sight. Oh well though, I’m on a roll and having fun sitting here by myself with my music cranked and my fingers typing furiously at the keyboard. It feels [...]

Slow Times

So one of the most fun and yet boring times of a project is that end phase where you are pushing out bug fixes to the first round of testing. I think my favorite part of it all is sitting in a room with the rest of the devs and going through the list of [...]

So just a quick post about some more datagrid fun from yesterday before I really set into the day’s work in earnest. Basically adding other controls to a datagrid (in this case a textbox and a dropdownlist) so that the user can just edit all the fields at once similar to how excel works. So [...]

Yesterday’s momentary dilemma of the day was being able to enable and with that disable links in an ASP.NET datagrid control. It was a fairly easy task, just took a little time to find what I needed to make it work. So here is what we’re looking for:Quite simple by the look of it, so [...]

ASP.NET vs. Word, Take 2

So I haven’t finished with this project, in fact I haven’t made it very far into it other than some initial research. Got to love the programming business, figure this out and at the same time get x, y, and z done. So what is the conclusion of the research? Well according to Microsoft, it [...]

Today’s Agenda:After making sure there aren’t any bugs in my latest web part I get to try and tackle creating two word documents from the data stored in the database. I’m sure it can be done, but I’ve never done it so this should be a fun little project to tackle. Details to come as [...]
