Site Search with Index Server Companion

I've written previously that I've been hunting for a decent way to do web site search (specifically for CMS 2002 but just in general too...). I have been looking at Lucene.NET (which is in .TEXT 0.96) and a few other options. One interesting (and low cost -…

This is very interesting - turn HTML documents into images

This is one of these things that's been running on a background thread in my brain for about a year, I have never seen a good example of how to do this but it just seems handy (I don't know what for but it 'feels' handy). Anyway, in the Codeprojectmail thingy…

One of the really sucky things about working for a small company...

You don't get to go to conferences. It really sucks, I would love to go to these things (though when I worked at a previous company which did send me to the Wrox conference in Amsterdam I umm... remember very little of it!). So, the choice is, blow almost…

Fonts for coding...am I in the minority

I was doing some work on the new version of my first article last night and I got to thinking, all the code in the new version is in the same font / colours that I use in my VS.NET. So, I was showing the new version to a friend and he mentioned that most…

My wide and varied experience - or Jack of all trades, master of none.

I worte a few days about reasons I'd never be an MVP - today is a great exemplar of that. So far, I've fixed a few bugs on a bespoke community application (event handlers, HTML changes, T-SQL the lot), I' have some more work on a generic search control based…

It's the little things that make you happy

I've been lurking about in the ASP.NET forums a fair bit this evening and lo and behold I'm not moderated any more! Very cool - I guess I may have accidentally stumbled upon some right answers (see, you can apply JSP knowledge to ASP.NET ;-))

Pet hate...well one of many..

I tried my experiment again today. I don't know about overseas but in the UK at crossings we have a green man and a red man - you walk at the green man. Now, I had believed it was commonly known that the green man doesn't appear unless you press the little…

Scanning for viruses during file uploads

I'll be honest, this one puzzled me and I came up with some really hackneyed solutions to manage the situation where a user-uploaded file contained a virus (I develop lots of community sites which allow file uploads). Most of the solutions I came up with…

Ok, so this article....slight change of plans...

I've realised that it's taking far longer to write this thing that I'd hoped (the fact that I've started again 4 times may have something to do with it...). Plan is, I'll post the first part tonight - this covers Nesting Repeaters using the ItemDatabound event…

Another new version of BlogJet

New beta some features fixed looks good
