There was a good turn out for Tuesdays talk on DNN and SubSonic. The Stamford based .net user group is doing a great job with the venue and getting the word out.
They also announced that a Code Camp will be held in Stamford at the end of October. At last, I do not need to drive to Boston or Philli.
The Slides are here and the main points of my talk for those that missed it or fell asleep:
DotNetNuke is a solid Web Application framework
The suggested Data Access layers for Modules is overly complicated
Feel free to use your existing Data Access techniques for building DNN modules
Subsonic is an excellent alternative for providing your Data Access Layer for DNN Modules if you are looking for something that provides great productivity
SubSonic provides the Active Record Pattern for your tables and...

It took me a number of attempts to get DNN runnning in Vista cleanly. Getting the right options installed for IIS7 is not that bad, but setting the right security proved to be harder than I expected and I do not see any blogs on it, so maybe it was a local problem.

Becoming a better developer is a good theme for me, and I like the idea of looking out 6 months and setting some realistic goals for myself. So here goes:

I had trouble posting this code to the main dnn site.
Not sure if it is my browser settings, the FCKEditor or something else...
FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies("portalaliasid").Value = Nothing
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies("portalaliasid").Path = "/"
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies("portalaliasid").Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(-30)
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies("portalroles").Value = Nothing
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies("portalroles").Path = "/"

I am super excited to have received an invitation letter from Joe Brinkman regarding the Dotnetnuke OpenForce07 Conference this coming November. My abstract on Subsonic, One More DAL can't hurt was selected.
If that was not enough, they want me to work with Rob Conery, the Lead for Subsonic. I introduced myself to Rob at Mix07 and the opensource panel that he was on with some serious heavy weights, but this is really sweet!!
I have been using Rob's videos to get to know Subsonic better and use it as the basis for a couple of application ports from ASP.NET 1.1 and Oracle Forms.
I was inspired for the talk by Chris Thames post,...

I thought it was cool when Jeremy Miller saw my comment to one of his posts on the WinForms CAB and rolling your own. He made a new post sharing the information from my comment about the new dotnet user group in Stamford, http://www.fairfieldwestchester.net/
Well Chris Bowen picked it up also and blogged about the new group.
I am pumped that the new Stamford group may get some action. I can't afford the gas to Hartford and NYC.

I am working with a skin purchased from snowcovered and trying to do some tweaking to make the padding around menu items more consistent. It appears that larger text items, get more padding. The site owner wants consistent padding around each menu item, regardless of how big the menu name is.
We cheated by adding extra text to the other menu items, so it is less obvious, but I may learn something about CSS if we can figure this out!

The Stamford Branch of the University of Connecticut had some INETA speakers over the past few years and I tried to get involved. I met the head of the IT dept and offered to build a DNN site. We lost contact and it never happened. The old site was at dotnet.uconn.edu and I saw the PC on the managers desk that hosted it! Tough times, no server room, just the corner of his desk.
But now I just found, http://www.fairfieldwestchester.net/ and guess what, they used DNN to build the site. At least they followed my recommendation
Let's see what happens at their next event this June 5th.
First Meeting:
June 5, 2007!
Speaker: Jean Barmash from Infusion Development
Topic: Spring.NET and AOP
If you'll be there, please send an email to Meeting AT FairfieldWestchester DOT net so that we will know how many people are attending.
