load of tosha web mail developerLooking for .NET Forum Control- December 18, 2004 I think thinking about incorporating forums into my pickup sports sites - InfiniteHoops.com and InfiniteSoccer.com - and although I am tempted to write my own forum code, the fact is I have so little time and this is something I think there are several implementations in .NET already. Anybody using a .NET forum control or app that they like and would recommend Let me know. Thanks. - T -http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/18/323945.aspx Scrollable Resizable Datagrid- December 16, 2004 The Code Project has a project by Pedro Maia Costa based on an HTC we put out for a Web Team Talking article a couple years ago. NIce job, Pedro. For me one of the great benefits of writing on the web in a developer community like blogs.msdn.com is that you often get good feedback from developers running into the same sorts of problems as you. And many times you'll discover a solution that's pretty elegant. I think the best solution to make column headers..http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/15/316613.aspx CSS Quiz- December 11, 2004 Here's a little CSS quiz that I found courtesy of the CSS weblog (yes, there is such a thing). I got a 19 out of 20. Apparently I messed up the index of the left and right padding values. No doubt the result of years and years of writing symmetric web pages -- so that right-to-left languages like Hebrew and Arabic look good in OWA.http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/11/279898.aspx Blog Reorg- December 10, 2004 Since the US beta launch of MSN Spaces, I made up my mind to focus more random interests posts to my space and leave this one for posts focusing on Outlook Web Access, .NET or general programming. More eclectic posts like those on best Seattle mochas, robots, hoops and various opinions on industry happenings will be on my space. Feel free to subscribe as that's what this blog thing is all about. I enjoy looking through referrer logs and links left in comments by the...http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/10/279413.aspx Outlook Web Access Calendar View Query-String Parameters- December 7, 2004 Monday I received an e-mail from James Buchanan asking what is the query-string parameter to bring up a monthly calendar view in Outlook Web Access. Actually, I am starting to get a lot of emails from people asking about this or that, which is great and I am happy to help when I can. I'll do my best to get back to your guys if I can help, but of course, I still have to write new code, which may make it impossible for me to get back to everybody. Funnily enough, I just received.http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/07/277470.aspx Overriding Outlook Web Access's Display Language- December 6, 2004 As you know OWA's UI or display language is determined by the Accept-Language HTTP header sent up by the browser on each request. This is controlled by a value set in Tools Options Languages... Now there are times when an OWA administrator might wish to override the language requested and return something else. One way to do this (if you have access to your front-end box) is to create an ISAPI filter which re-sets the Accept Language. This is described in the.http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/06/275512.aspx Exchange Server TechCenter (redesigned)- December 3, 2004 The Exchange Content Engineering team (including a couple of characters I've been known to hit the espresso stand with) along with various other folks have released a revamped Exchange TechCenter on microsoft.com as a portal for finding technical information on our software. There's lots of good info up there if you're looking for more help or considering a upgrade or move to Exchange. Also as the Exchange blog was one of the first product blogs at MS there's...http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/03/274786.aspx Spaces- December 2, 2004 So, today the sphere is all a buzz with the US launch of MSN Spaces. I am psyched that the Japanese beta of Spaces I had associated with my Passport automatically converted to English with the launch. Now I can read and customize it. I guess Scoble will be photo sharing with Flickr. Not me. My moblog is moving to Spaces. http:spaces.msn.commemberstoshm Subscribe now for moblog pictures of the Kirkland 24hr Starbucks drive-thru!...http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/01/273561.aspx Win32 API Equivalents in .NET- December 1, 2004 This is from January, but it's making the rounds again. Here's a listing of .NET Framework equivalents of the Win32 API. Highly useful to some. Historically interesting as well.http:msdn.microsoft.comlibrarydefault.aspurl=libraryen-usdndotnethtmlwin32map.asphttp://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/12/01/273390.aspx CNN.com: "Publisher: 'Blog' No. 1 word of the year"- December 1, 2004 "Publisher: 'Blog' No. 1 word of the year" No kidding. The word has entered mainstream consciousness like never before. No doubt Howard Dean was the impetus. People have been waiting for weblogging to reach a critical mass and perhaps after this election season with masses of political bloggers, candidate blogs and even war bloggers, it's finally here. I wonder if my mom knows the word. Does yours...http://blogs.msdn.com/tmeston/archive/2004/11/30/272707.aspx |
