I found some time to start testing the next release of DotNetNuke. While the public has access to a Beta build (5.1.0.266), our team can benefit from the latest checked in bits (Currently 5.1.0.321). After grabbing it from our source control tool, I could not install DotNetNuke, and this was a good thing because I learnt, from the solving process and from my fellow members, that the next version automatically sets itself to use .NET 3.5 if available.

Currently, the install package includes the .net 2.0...

I needed to create a report in a DNN website to obtain the Total billable hours for a single case in Dynamics CRM. All my previous DotNetNuke modules for CRM had been done in VS2005, which lead me to miss a detail.

My code kept complaining about missing the Crmservice  type, which after instantiation is the very same web service needed to obtain information from Dynamics CRM. After going through MSDN documentation, posting at the CRM community and searching through the web I was almost giving up.

Bill has checked in changes to Gallery and we are preparing a new public beta of the module. This beta includes security related changes, corrections to the Gallery menu styling, a new simpler theme and a few other minor changes.

Following the DNN move to Codeplex, this public beta will be made available for download from there. All other project resources will remain here at the DotnetNuke site. The release will be posted near the end of this month or beginning the next one and we expect that community...

I worked in broadcasting and journalism long before I got involved in technology and it is another passion of mine. While my love for DNN progressively increased, I would devour as much information as I could find. In the DNN 2.X days, most of the available information was at the asp.net forums where at first I was a lurker, then a question flooder and finally even became a moderator (I still am). I always wanted to get involved with DNN and my sources of information have been sprouting (and also dwindling)...

A couple of weeks ago I announced changes happening in the Gallery team. This time around I want to publicly thank those who contributed in the past to the project. At the same time I want to officially announce the lineup of team members that will be in charge of developing the next version of Gallery.

There will be a page with the profiles of all developers. So I will limit...

I received the book from Mitchell and went over the Table Of Contents and read a few chapters already. He’s done a great job! I briefly review at my asp.net weblog.

I could not help it, I had to use that phrase as a title. On Saturday, I posted an off-topic blog entry about wireless power. Today, a comment to that post lead me to another article in FastCompany about software quality. I guess that the conclusion about it is that perfect software IS possible… if given the right resources: a few hundred people and a few million per year. Well, OK, more than a few million. The fact is...
