This is my first Blog. I intend to use it to trace my adventures with Coding, Dotnet, Dotnetnuke, and Golf

It is great to the Subdudes still putting out music.

They have a new album planned for early 2006, and will be touring to get the juices flowing. See you at BB Kings or IMAC on the Island

For anyone that wants to check them out, they are also podcasting!

Wow - what an amazing coup - getting two versions of the dotnetnuke application framework released in the same day.

I have been waiting for the 3.2 release for a while, it will have a new client api that supports AJAX style calls in a simple manner.

So, it was a pleasant suprise to get the first ever edition of the dotnetnuke newsletter today, section below, announcing the 3.2 release.

But wait folks, that not all, we also get DNN V 4.0, that builds against the newly released dot net 2.0, and I imagine VS 2005 (sure to be some new twists with builds and debugging, etc.)

I just love the level of support that the open source team provides. This blows away almost anything that I have seen in the commercial software world.

Cheers to the DNN Core Team, the many sub-projects, and the VS 2005 team!!

Couldn't Resist posting a copy of this photo. Carl, Richard, and Geoff will look back one day, and wish they had that much hair. The DNR crew is getting close to the finish line and VS 2005 is now on MSDN.

 

Added some functionality to support categories of saved pin locations per registered user, and non logged in users.

On screen hyperlinks to saved locations.

Fixed Admin mode map positioning bug.

Time to take a break from the module, and blog on the lessons learned from building it.

I missed this event. Done in by meetings, bloody meetings.

But a friend said Petzold was spot on.

Here is a link to a more detailed review of whether the new features of Visual Studio 2005 are good for programmers.

Two user groups are doing dotnetnuke presentations in the Ct area.

The dotnetnuke custom module that shows a Virtual Earth map on this site has been made available as a dnn private assemly. The PA and a PPT discussing how the module was built can be found on the dotnetnuke pages.

Comments are welcome as well as any experienced javascript programmers that can offer some help making the module better.

Code Camp NJ is in the Books. It was the first code camp in New Jersey put on with the help of Scott Watermasysk, Don XML, and the local Microsoft office team.

The energy level was excellent and the sessions were well attended and there was good information being presented.

I agree 100% with what Mark Miller said on recently on a DNR show, that the best way for MS to deal with open source and anti-microsoft sentiment is to make coding with MS tools FUN again.

With the rollout of Visual Studio 2005, tools like Telerik controls, and Code Rush, and the excellent support from the community is certaily make it fun for me.

So keep supporting the code camps in your area!!!

p.s. I will be posting the Sample project and Private Assembly for the DNN project that integrates with Virtual Earth that I presented on. Soon....

Carl, Richard, and Geoff are on the road trip and leaving Dot Net Memories along the way.

Integrating dotnetnuke with virtual earth continues to be an exciting ride. Javascript is another piece of the puzzle to add to the mix.

Today's adventure has been looking to load a bunch of stored information onto the map. The Virtual Earth API is in javascript, so how to get that information from a DNN datastore into a javascipt module to call the VE API ?

RegisterStartupScript to the rescue! This handy function documented in the .net framework allows javascript code blocks to be added to the end of your generated html for an aspx page.

So, we have some server side controls that pulls the data from a DNN DAL, generates the JS dynamically and RegisterStartupScript inserts into the page. The code generated is actually a function that is called on the JS onepageload.

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
