sharing about .NET and technology RSS 2.0
# Friday, April 14, 2006

Finally I have updated my site, called IStaySharp to MediaWiki. MediaWiki is one of the best wiki based engines available and it's written in PHP and MySQL. Thankfully my hosting, webhost4life, has PHP & MySQL support.

The intention of IStaySharp is to document and archive my code snippets, articles, components, projects, etc. that I am working on, and to share my experiences that I encounter during my .NET development. Visitors to the site can use the discussion page to give feedback, remarks, suggestions, etc. to the associated page.

I didn't encounter much problems when installing MediaWiki on webhost4life, except the e-mailing didn't work directly. The problem was that MediaWiki uses the format: 'myname <myname@domain.com>' in the 'to' field of the mail function, and with the current settings and setup of webhost4life this resulted in an invalid address. Therefore I had to change the method 'toString()' of the 'MailAddress' class inside 'UserMailer.php' to

function toString() 
{
     return $this->address;  
}

instead of

function toString() 
{
  if( $this->name != '' ) {
   return wfQuotedPrintable( $this->name ) . " <" . $this->address . ">";
  } else {
   return $this->address;
  }
}

IStaySharp uses also the extension that I wrote for having syntax highlighting. Some other nice extensions are coming!

I am planning to install MediaWiki for my site www.istaysharp.net. This way I can easily add/update content, because currently the site is static, and that's thre reason why it's not updated frequently.

It was planned for this evening to update www.istaysharp.net, but a new version has been released of MediaWiki, version 1.6.1. I hope the upgrade will go smooth and that my code will still work :)

One other interesting point, is that apparently there is an experimental support for connecting to an Oracle database (read release notes). Are there any plans for supporting MS SQL Server 2000? If so, please let me know!!!

Today I published the new IStaySharp.NET. It's rewritten in ASP.NET 2.0 and hosted by WebHost4Life. I also added a new FAQ entry about coverting FILETIME and DateTime, you will encounter FILETIME when you are using COM interop.

There is a lot of coming during the next months. So stay tuned!

I bought the domain name a couple of months ago but finally the site is online. The purpose of IStaySharp.NET is to provide a resource site for .NET developers (articles, faq, etc.) and to provide information on the projects I am working on.

The two projects currently online is log4xsl which is a xsl for viewing XML files generated by log4net. Below you find an example of the output:

The WebBrowser library is the second project and fully embeds the webbrowser functionality of Internet Explorer and Mozilla. It also provides some extra functionality for Internet Explorer. Below you find a sampe project (top is IE and bottom is Mozilla) that can be downloaded on the site.

There are other projects coming and will be updated to the site. If you have any questions and/or feedback please contact me (contact mail can be found in the About menu).
