So it turns out that if you want to use an existing ASP.NET membership store with Graffiti, there's one thing you need to do with your existing users - add them to the "gEveryone" role. If you don't do that, your users will be able to sign in, but will get an "access denied" error when they redirect...
I've done it! I've installed Graffiti 1.1 on Mad Props and have migrated all my posts across! The only thing left to do is redirect incoming requests to my old blog so that they seamlessly point to my new one. For now I have disabled comments to posts on my old blog so I shouldn't have to worry about...
Late last year here at work, we managed to push through a restructure of our software development staff so that they all come under me and work as one team. When I say, "all", technically there are four coders including me, so it's not a huge team. The reasoning behind the formation of the team is pretty...
Two posts ago I talked about my initial experiences in getting Graffiti set up on a machine at home, co-existing with my existing Community Server installation. I'm a lot further down that path now, and almost ready to deploy to the live madprops.org server, which will at last let me move my blog back...
Ok, so in my last post I said that I may eventually switch over to FeedBurner for my RSS feeds. Well, I've done that now.

Over the years we lost a few people to other sites, until eventually I decided to take over the site completely. So for a while now I've been wanting to...
Rock-star developer Paul Stovell has just published an article about creating Inductive User-Interfaces using WPF's navigation framework . Paul's on something of a creative roll right now, having just released beta 1 of Bindable LINQ . I've been a big fan of the IUI paradigm for a few years now, and...
Let's say I have an interface with method overloads like this: interface IFoo { IList < Order > GetOrdersByDate( DateTime orderDate); IList < Order > GetOrdersByDateRange( DateTime fromDate, DateTime toDate); } It has two methods to get orders by date - one that gets orders for a single day...
For those who are keeping tabs on me as I (excruciatingly slowly) rewrite Comicster using Windows Presentation Foundation, here's a fresh couple of screenshots. First, the main window showing an issue (click to enlarge): See the "Online Details" down in the bottom right? That's a button. I...
