From Clemmens talking about technology overload: Enter VS2005 and the summary of trying to achieve the same knowledge density is: “Frustrating”. I feel his frustration. I remember going to PDC 2003 and realizing that it was getting very hard to keep up on all the new stuff coming out of Microsoft...

From Eli Robillard : After a year and 32065 web views, I've reorganized and moved the SharePoint resource page into an article. In addition to giving it a more sensible URL, the switch reflects the fact that this is a continuously updated resource and not a one-time posting. I've also added hand-tuned...
I've been working for Avanade for about two months now, and I really like it. I've gotten a few emails from people who are interviewing with the company and want to know what it is like. It is a great company to work for, especially if you like working with Microsoft technology. In fact, Gartner just...

Via Andrew Watt : Service Pack 2 for Reporting Services 2000 is available for download. Visit SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services Service Pack 2 . Bug fixes in SP2 are listed at Microsoft Knowledge Base article 889640 . I'll be interested to hear what people think of the new web parts versus the RsWebParts...
Just finished uploading the RsWebParts 1.3 package to the project site . I added in a quick fix for the parameters issue. The fix is that you can now include the standard Reporting Services toolbar and parameters which should fix the problem. It isn't as flexible and it takes up some of the report view...
Not a very exciting release. You can get the installer and the source code (and the DwpGenerator binary and source) at the RsWebParts SourceForge Project . I'm still working on resolving the parameters issue. I think I'm close on a solution but there were several people who needed the source files ASAP...
Mads created a GotDotNet workspace for tracking issues with SharePoint and non-IE browsers. I installed Firefox some time ago but but it aside since I didn't appear to do NTLM authentication which is needed for SharePoint access. One of the first posts in the form there is TIP: Use current Windows credentials...
Note to self: The Page.RegisterStartupScript just outputs the text you pass to the method and doesn't add script tags. If you don't add script tags your text will be output at the bottom of every page (which is embarrassing). Why can't I remember this.... P.S. - In case you were wondering, I just discovered...
From Barry's Blog via Serge van den Oever on RenderWebPart: When things go the way you expect, you want to render an entire batch of HTML. However, you don't want to render any of that HTML in the case of an exception when the logic in your Web Part determines that it should display an error message...
Ok, I've created a new project site at SourceForge.net which you can find here . Everytime I try to figure out the CVS stuff I end up feeling dumb because I can't figure it out. So hopefully I'll “get it” this weekend so that I can put some files up there. For now the project site is just...
