This post by Scott Hanselman is just a brilliant starting point for beginners in application architecture (in any language actually). In my experience a good basic structure can solve so many problems in an application - and in many cases is a 'freebie', i.e.,…
Back from my (admittedly short) break - Dad's birthday which I really wanted to be at home for this year. We're trying to get a bit more structure going at my place of work, well we had some before but as we get busier and busier we need to get a more…
I was replying to this forum post I actually couldn't find a good example on how to do this - wierd, it's such a common thing to do. So, the problem is, is there a better method than using the Application object to store objects which should be available for…
Oddly I've had a couple of email (even one from a Microserf) asking why I thought I would never become an MVP. Well, the simple answer is - time. Keeping a blog takes relatively little time, I probably spend an hour a day max posting to this thing and leaving…

OK, let me start by saying that I enjoy working in C# / .NET more than I have any other language / framework in my working life. The problem is, that's just not enough. The simple fact is that I've chosen to live and work in Scotland and this severly limits my…
I've been doing some work on using MSCMS2002 and have had to look at ways to implement search (by default it doesn't have it and requires that you buy a much expensive Sharepoint license) well, I revisited the nLucene project - this had stalled for a while but…
