CI: Using RoR for ASP.Net – Success! (Sort of…)
In my continued quest to use Ruby to build my .Net apps, I have been successful using Ruby’s “sh” command to call the C# compiler (csc.exe) and successfully build my assemblies. I still have not gotten it to use MSBuild, but I’ve been lazily trying to use the .csproj files generated by Visual Studio, [...]
Continuous Integration : Using RoR to manage my ASP.Net builds
So I’ve started down the path of setting up continuous integration (CI). I’m working on a project now for a client that wants to be involved with the process as much as possible. The CI with a few other hacks will allow him to use the current working version of his website at [...]
SubSonic Beta 2
Rob and Eric have already released a second beta for SubSonic 2.0.
I introduced a colleague to SubSonic yesterday and found myself telling her how much faster I can get an app out the door because I don’t have to build a custom data access layer. I felt like I was telling her a secret…
SubSonic 2.0 Beta 1 Released
Today Rob and Eric pushed out the latest SubSonic offering to the general public. There are tons of new features and a great list of what’s in store over at Rob’s blog. I could swear that Phil actually announced it before I saw the change on Rob’s Blog. He’s psychic or something…..
Coming To An Enterprise Near You?

It seems like the fight continues round after round with no real winner in sight. But there have been some very interesting things happening in the last month that seem [...]
Speak4Me – The Beginning of an Open Source Project
I’ve recently been planning an open source project for this summer. I was approached last year during the holiday season by a woman on a forum with a story about her friend with Multiple Sclerosis who had lost most of his ability to speak normally. She didn’t have any money and was taking this guy [...]
Long Time, No Publish
Once again I have neglected my blog and the few readers I have (had). I have recently started a new job and although it has been going GREAT, I have had little extra time to write a lot of code at home or blog about cool stuff. I do have some partial posts and some [...]
Vista – R.I.P.
I used Vista for over a week and I was not impressed. I was not particularly thrilled that when deleting some files I had to do 3 separate actions because of the Windows Defender crap. It made me feel like Windows was trying to defend itself from me. I like my operating [...]
Out Of Touch
I have been slacking off in the blogging department lately, but let me fill you in on the last 3 weeks or so.
I taught a class recently in Advanced Crystal Reports XI. It was a great opportunity and a chance to see just how much I really know about Crystal Reports. It’s amazing [...]
C# Attributes
I hadn’t really had the need to use Attributes in C# until I started a recent open source project. Now that I started using them, I’m finding that they are an extremely valuable tool! In the project I’m working on, it’s my intent to display a user interface based on metadata from the class and [...]
