New Firebird MemberShip scripts

Someone was asking why the current Firebird MemberShip/Role/Profile Example doesn't work with the ASP.NET Configuration tool for security.

The Firebird scripts were designed to handle the bare minimum needed to make security work for your application, not necessarily for the Visual Studio Management tool.

Change to FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005 article

A poster was nice enough to point out that there was a typo in the FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005 article I posted a while back. I've fixed the typo and described it below in this story. It was a misplaced quote in the machine.config. The end result of the mistake seems to cause the Firebird connection dialog to disappear when you type or press any buttons.

Here is the change:

    In the 4. Machine.config section of article there are two typos.

JDBC, JAAS and JMS Configuration in JBoss 4.0.x

Recently I have begun work on a J2EE contract. The contract is for an existing application targeted to IBM Websphere. I was given the source code to the application and none of the container configuration files. In my case, I plan to develop using JBoss 4.0.x and as such needed to configure the resources needed by the application.

I encountered a few problems on the way and thought I would post the steps I did, some of the problems I encountered, and the solutions to them.

In this case, the application consists of:

  • WAR file containing web application

C# Type/typeof, Type Constraints and Generics

I was looking into doing compile time Type checking in C# and as far as I can tell it's not possible to do directly. I played around with passing types and using Generics to handle compile time checks. The following code is the result of my playing around.

FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005 (x64/Packageless)

I posted an article some time ago related to making Firebird intergrate properly into Visual Studio 2005. You can find that article here: FirebirdClientDDEX with Visual Studio 2005. When I first wrote the article I had really only managed to get the install to work on Window XP (32bit, x86) with the full version of Visual Studio including the SDK (packaged install).

Since that time I have successfully installed it for:

  • Windows XP x86 (32bit) - Packaged
  • Windows XP x86 (32bit) - Packageless
  • Windows XP x64 - Packaged

Code Snippets with Drupal

To display code snippets on codemuch, we have been using the CodeFilter filter module from drupal.org. It's a nice little module that allows the use of <code> tags in content without having to worry about formatting.

Same site. New Look!

We just switched the site from WordPress to Drupal. All the existing content has already been moved over so you should have no problem finding old articles. Unfortunately all the links other than the home page will be different so you'll have to reset your bookmarks and the RSS feed.
