First, let me remind you that in my new ongoing quest to read source code to be a better developer, Dear Reader, I present to you thirty-seventh in a infinite number of posts of "The Weekly Source Code." I'm working on a side-project with Rob Conery, Dave Ward and others and I want to be able to do a search immediately as the user ...

Some of you maybe remember that I had added some security related features in Ajax.NET Professional. It is possible to put an AJAX token or to simple encrypt the data that gets over the lines. With Silverlight we get the System.Security.Cryptography namespace on the client – before it was not very easy to encrypt a string without any plug-in ...

As I wrote already some days ago I'm currently working on a library that will offer networking features that I'm missing in .NET Micro Framework. All features are first implemented in desktop .NET Framework 3.0 and then modified to fit the smaller .NET Micro Framework.

They do it with some helper methods but I thought it'd be interesting to try it myself. There's a lot of options and thoughts and ...

Remember last week when I mentioned the Microsoft Web Platform Installer? It's an bootstrapper that gets you setup for free web development, all in a single application. It'll setup IIS7, get you Visual Studio, SQL Server, .NET, etc. Cool. And there was much rejoicing (except XP folks, sorry.) Well, the team just released the Web Application ...

First, let me remind you that in my new ongoing quest to read source code to be a better developer, Dear Reader, I present to you thirty-fourth in a infinite number of posts of "The Weekly Source Code." F#, everyone is agog over F# and getting all functional. Again. ;) The F# September 2008 CTP came out a few weeks back and folks I'm ...

First, let me remind you that in my new ongoing quest to read source code to be a better developer, Dear Reader, I present to you thirty-third in a infinite number of posts of "The Weekly Source Code."
