Hold your breath, back up EVERYTHING, cross your fingers and hit install… 4 hours later and wow! Not a blip on the Windows 7 horizon this is IMPRESSIVE, so long Vista! Sounds like a long time for an upgrade? But you have to bear in mind we are talking about a dev machine with 3 flavors of Visual Studio on it and all the other gunk from SSMS to Japanese mobile phone emulators or in Geek Speak some 80 gigs worth of software. read more...

Subsonic 3 released(web2asp.net)

submitted by sedgey(1728) 2 years, 10 months ago

The whole Subsonic ethic is to remove the hoops that other ORM’s have you jump through and essentially to get you home earlier. read more...

MVC support in existing ASP.NET control suites(web2asp.net)

submitted by sedgey(1728) 2 years, 11 months ago

One of the problems with embracing MVC is that the toolsets we may have used in our standard ASP.NET web forms projects may now not work in a new MVC project. However, do not fear! some of the big guns in the control suite market already have MVC support, so you may not need to re-invest in new MVC versions of the same suites or have to start re-inventing the wheel building MVC controls yourself. read more...

Generating Excel Reports from ASP.NET applications (web2asp.net)

submitted by sedgey(1728) 3 years, 4 months ago

There are plenty of ways to export reports (CSV, Flat file and XML to name a few), but whether you like it or not most people use Excel or open source offerings like Open Office. Excel will open various file formats and you can trick excel by saving CSV files or even html tables with a .xls extension. If you have access to an ms office license, you can access the office com interop objects and generate spreadsheets that way. Lastly and perhaps the neatest of the solutions is to buy one of the out of the box solutions which provide standalone assemblies. read more...
