It's hot in europe. We spent some time in Denmark and besides the beaches we enjoyed Legoland. Besides having a lovely quite countryside Denmark is a technical fruitfull country as well. It's the homeland of Anders (Heijlsberg) who gave us so many years of pleasant programming (I am (was) a Delphi programmer). Denmark is also the homeland of Lego. All of us were huge fans allready but now we are completely addicted. Recommended.
Back home I spent some time on my website. Published a small review of Eric Gunnerson's book. I really am sorry I waited so long to give it the credit it deserves..
I had planned to visit the monthly meeting of dotned. Sorry to hear it was cancelled, due to the summer. They have a meeting every month, august the 28th is the next one.
Also spent a lot of time on databinding in webforms. Try this :
- In the datbindings dialog create a custom databinding, ie something like MyFunc()
- Try running the webform
- It will crash on a "Compilation error"
- Select : view full source
- What you will see now is a piece of C# source code which tells more about the way asp.net does work than many pages of help files.
- Now create a public or proteced MyFunc method in your webform.
My article on the datagrid is still in the pipeline. Dough and Donny are going to spend more time on the articles on the dnj site. Have to wait for that. Another article, on the DataList componenet is in the makings.
