Here is a quick example on how to access the registry in .NET. This example just loops thru each entry in the selected folder in the registry and prints the gathered information to the console.

After several weeks of planning I could say that we finally got our goal to come true..Finally www.devpinoy.org is online A dream of builing a Filipino developers website where people from different programming language and platform can join hands and build a community

In Part 1 and Part 2 of this series, we have used column mappings and index mapping to generate our csv files. These approach requires us to loop thru each colum to create the header, the loop thru again to create the rows. The problem with this approach is the amount of time spent in coding such procedures, well, its not that long... but considere this, if you could do something in a short amount of time with shorter lines of code and changing from one approach to another approach would make your life as a programmer a little bit better.. wouldn't you consider using that approach?

One thing that i really really really really want to be included on the next release of dasBlog is the ability to ping more than one feed site inside dasBlog. Something like pingomatic.com where you just select which website you want to send a ping when a new post is created. This feature would be really useful specially if you want to generate traffic to your blog by adding your blog to blog directories all over the internet universe.

How to fend off assigned work!

Got my BlogMap!

In part 1 of this series i have showed to you how to use a IDataReader in creating a function that would generate a CSV file. On part 2 of this series I'm going to show you how to accomplish the same task but this time using a different object. We will still implement the same concept that we used in part 1 but shortening code by using native properties of a DataTable in accessing rows and columns.

As always, Mike Gunderloy made my eyes go 'BIG' after reading his article regarding some of his recomendations on how to use and manipulate strings in .NET 2.0. This post also gives some highlights about some key changes on System.String namespace and other aspects of using strings including the dreaded localization.

Creating A Date Dimension Table in SQL Server

Part 1 shows us how to create CSV files in both C# and VB.NET using techniques that were used back on the old days of ADO and OLEDB but implementing them using native ADO.NET objects(IDataReader) instead of recordsets.
