My friend Jesse showed me a cool little technique for introspecting a string array using Linq. Of course I realize that there a ton more fascinating Linq tutorials out there but this one showed me just how sweeping the effects of Linq are. I first thought that Linq was just a neat way of generating ...

Recently I got into a 'Usability' debate about what sort of menus where better; 'Office Like' menus or basic drop-down fly-out menus with tool tips. I was thinking about it and I started to wonder if it was even possible in my favorite AJAX web UI development environment (Gen...

Thanks to Bert de Jager for pointing out a bug in the Discovery Theme. I just uploaded a fix for it. It was due to a collision between two portions of the page using the same CSS style. It was an easy fix, I am only sorry it took me so long to get to it. You can download the theme here.

I found this Discovery theme on www.freecsstemplates.org and I thought it would make a great BlogEngine theme. I think I am going to take a break from BlogEngine themes for a while (not too long ;-). I am really not a designer and I fear that I just don't have the patience to monkey around in ...

My friends Jason and Jesse and I are having a blast converting different themes for BlogEngine.Net. I think it would be fun to write some extensions as well. I took the original version of this theme from www.styleshout.com. This is my first pass at this so I expect there to be some issues. ...

Thanks to Jesse Foster for converting the 'Gluttony' Wordpress theme for use with Blogengine.net. I imagine there will be a flood of themes converted for/by the blogengine.net community in the days to come. I think I'll leave the cube for a while as small token of thanks. ;-)

I realize that what I post regarding General Interface is not going to be rocket science any time soon. Despite that, I figure I had better start posting the things that other developers that are new to GI might find useful. I was recently developing a sample application as a 'proof of concept' in G...

I use updategrams to send data to SQL Server from Biztalk 2004. Well, I am still battling with how to get meaningful error information when using a scope and an exception handler in my orchestration. (I have found numerous resources on this but I am still not able to accomplish it, see links below.)...
