This is a meandering blog containing musings from everything of the books I've read to interesting code I've found.

I subscribe to 'threads watched by Channel 9 MSDN team' on the Channel 9 MSDN web site, the problem is, once a thread falls off the feed, it's a real PITA to find it again!

This interview with Scott Guthrie, MS VP, offers a great introduction to what Silverlight 2.0 really is and is a must watch for anyone new to the technology:

I am proud to announce that I have released my first independant commercial module on Snowcovered.com: the ACIA Silverlight Slide Show and Photo Gallery. The module provides a management UI for a popular open source Silverlight Slide Show control. The gallery provides a Silverlight 1.0 control for publishing highly-customizable photo slideshows on the Web.

I rarely have an original thought (if I have ever had one) and this entry is no exception. A while back while comparing the Commerce Starter Kit with the DNN Core Store Module, I found an interesting post on “Spooks Blog” (link) discussing the merrits of a DotNetNuke ecommerce module.

In response to this post, Sean Walker posted a very eloquent response, in which I found the following especially pointed and relevant to DotNetNuke's use in a great whole:

“In response to Rob's comment that DNN is not suited for e-commerce, I would obviously have to disagree. The fact is that anyone who needs to sell goods online also needs a whole array of other services on their website. They will want to customize the look of the website to match their business branding. They may want to provide forums for online support of thei ... Read More »

I originally posted most of this in my reply on the SubSonic Community Forums to a thread on how to incorporate SubSonic DAL into a DNN Module without having to modify the web.config file. I figured it would be useful here because I had a bit of a time figuring this out.

To recap what I did (for my test app):

Started with a new Class Library project, named it ACIA.Data, added this to my DotNetNuke 'classic' web application project solution (which includes the BuildSupport assembly which compiles all assemblies into the web site's \Bin folder... another topic but important for module developers).

I don't understand why Excel doesn't (appear to) have a Row To Column function built in. If it does, I couldn't find it. The following macro does the trick, and only took like five minutes to record edit and run to get right. I figured this has to be a common enough problem, so here was my own solution:

Sub RowToColumn()
