  • Subscribed to Feedburner which by the way was acquired by Google

    I just subscribed to FeedBurner and as you will see, the "Subscribe to My Feed" now points to my feedburner address. The cool thing with using FeedBurner is you get a lot of functionality out of the box. They have support for a number of readers and I'm sure they will add more. And even…

  • Install .NET Windows Service with Visual Studio Setup Wizard or Project

    I've done this a couple of times but I still tend to forget at times so I might as well post here for me and hopefully someone else's reference. To create a Windows Service see this article by Ken Getz : Windows Services: New Base Classes in .NET Make Writing a Windows Service Easy There…

  • My Site’s Performance

    This is currently hosted in GoDaddy (yes, you bet it's the price with SQL and AJAX I'd have to say it's a good one).

Anyways, while trying to debug a project, I tried to set the HttpRuntime ExecutionTimeout to a certain value. When a request reaches the server but takes more than the indicated…

  • Problem with SQL Database Mail: ExternalMailQueue missing

    UPDATE: Just wanted to point out that it's likely that this issue was after installing .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1) I just updated an entry in the technet forums regarding a previous issue I've encountered before. I was able to solve my issue by reinstalling SQL Server (which is not a very brilliant…

  • Cool Commands addin for Visual Studio

    The collapse/expand all project and the open containing folder (plus other features) would save time/effort so check out this addin from Gaston Milano.
