I’ve been pretty busy with school, and unfortunately have not been able to get going on the many new features I want to implement in the Reports Module. However, there are a number of bugs in the current version that prevent it from being used with DotNetNuke 5.0. For this reason, as well as a few other bugs that aren’t quite as major, I’m going to be preparing a minor bug-fix release: Version 5.1.

Part 1 of a 4 part series on developing a Data Source in the Reports Module. This series focuses on developing a Data Source that retrieves data from an RSS Feed.

Well, it's official.  Assuming I pass the two courses I haven't received grades from, I completed my final day of continuous education (well, except for the summer breaks/internships) for 18 straight years (K-12 + 5 years of post-secondary) today. Now that I'm finished school, I can settle down and finish up a few side-projects and some DNN Reports work.

It took almost a week longer than I said it would, but it’s finally done.  Version 5.1 of the DotNetNuke Reports Module is in the DotNetNuke Project Release Tracker.  I’ll post some more info over the next week, but for now, here are the release notes...

  As many of you may know, I have been an intern at Microsoft for the past two summers.  In the summer of 2007, I had a blast working on Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals ("DataDude") developing a code "pretty printer" that took abstract syntax trees representing SQL scripts and built formatted (and indented) SQL script.  This past summer, I worked with the ASP.Net MVC team to implement AJAX helpers in that framework.

In this post, I play around with the new IE 8 WebSlices feature and turn any Reports Module instance into an instant WebSlice!

Reports 5.1 has been officially released!

Many readers of my blog will remember that I was a Microsoft Intern last summer...
