The OpenForce conference was a lot of fun. I particularly enjoyed meeting many of the community members who I have only known via the internet. The only disappointment I had was that my session was...

Having attending this year's MVP Summit, I have to say I am even more interested in writing some Silverlight applications. One of the questions I am trying to answer is just how to get Silverlight to talk to the server, especially when it comes to DotNetNuke integration. Some quick searching yielded this excellent blog on how Silverlight and javascript can interact. I thought it may be helpful to some people to see how to allow Silverlight to call into a PageMethod and pass and return a rich object. I admit this may not be the best option, as I still need to do some research, but at a bare minimum this approach should

Lets pretend you just got done with a meeting with a potential new client. After getting a feel for what he was after you compiled the following list of requirements.

One of the things I look for when choosing a conference to attend is how much am I going to learn. Past experience has shown me that I learn the most useful information when attending a conference dealing...

With the launch of DotNetNuke 5 getting closer, I figured it was a good time to put together a quick video on some of the new functionality that will be found within the webcontrols. This video will introduce you to the new ways you can customize version 2 of the DotNetNuke Menu by simply tweaking your css. It starts out giving a brief overview of where we came from in earlier releases and how we are making strides to improve the ability for both a DotNetNuke skinner and end portal administrator. Enjoy!

I've been working on a project for a client recently and was bitten by a bug recently. It has to do with using the Microsoft AJAX Extensions, specifically, the JavascriptSerializer. ...

One of the things I have been doing lately with my projects like the DotNetNuke CodeEndeavors AJAX templates along with the ClientAPI and WebControls is to use a custom MSBuild script to package the code up as part of the project's compilation. Since a csproj/vbproj file is already a MSBuild script this is rather simple. The problem I had was that the editing of these files within Visual Studio was cumbersome. Having to right-click on the project in Solution Explorer and choose Unload Project, then right-click again and choose Edit xxxxx.vbproj, then make my modifications, then right-click again to reload the project was getting annoying.

I am getting a little excited for what is in store for the community with the upcoming release of the DotNetNuke Webcontrols v2.0. Unfortunately, I have not had much time to blog on what I have been...

I believe the content of what I covered from the OpenForce conference is worth sharing with a broader audience. In fact, I believe the concepts discussed are fundamental to successfully writing DotNetNuke modules with a rich client-side experience. You can download the recording here. In a few days/weeks I will be releasing two DotNetNuke module templates that build on the concepts introduced in my session: DotNetNuke Compiled AJAX Module and DotNetNuke Compiled Silverlight Module. I also plan on releasing a video or two on how they are used, as they include: the MSBuild script for automatic packaging and deployment, the new ClientAPI ControlMethod calls, handle client-side localization, allow for VS.NET 2008 javascript Intellisense, and provide a means for modules to interact with each other on the client (a kind of client-side IMC).
