Posted by: Carl In: asp.net| c#| development| lucene.net

(Link to Part 1)
Since my first post, I’ve been tinkering a bit more with Lucene.Net.  I’ve added a few more columns to index, determined that a SimpleAnalyzer would fit my needs by tokenizing every word by not removing “stop words”, and I’ve created a Windows Service to do a multi-threaded index of my 350,106 rows [...]

My Lucene.Net experience (thus far)

Posted by: Carl In: asp.net| c#| development| sql

After SQL Server 2005 did not return expected results in my full-text searching queries, I’ve decided to move to another search method–an open source search engine, Lucene.Net.  In their own words, “Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search engine [...]

Posted by: Carl In: asp.net| c#| development| javascript

While trying to create a modal, Flash video player control in ASP.NET, I ran into some issues with the UpdatePanel thinking that there were modifications made to the page via a Response.Write() method or the like.  I looked high and low, and found no such changes to be occuring, but, the error would not go [...]

[ASP.NET]Handling all clicks

Posted by: Carl In: asp.net| c#| development| javascript

I’m looking into an click-tracking across an entire page, with the caveat that each click needs to be traced back to it’s “container” or section of the site.   Let’s say I’ve got two link sections, “apples” and “oranges”. Under each section, I’ve got multiple links that are generated via repeaters and the like.  What I’d [...]

Here’s a link to Part 1, in case you missed it.
Picking up where I left off; customizing the My Site default web parts.
The MySiteCreate Codeplex project, once again, linked here, contains a custom control, called PartCheck. This control, when placed on a page, grabs the MySiteCreateStaplee.xml file, located in the /_catalogs/masterpages/ folder in your [...]

So, I’ve got a few gripes about SharePoint, but, honestly, there are few SharePoint developers that are not in the same boat as me, but that practically goes without saying for any product a developer has to work with—it’s in our nature to want things improved, updated, and flawless.  On that vein, one issue that [...]

The rationale behind creating this blog was to have a location for me to post my thoughts, ideas, questions, concerns, and documentation relating to the tech world as a whole.
Currently I work full-time consulting for businesses and schools across the country, mostly in the realm of SharePoint (hold your groans until the end, please). [...]


About

I'm an ASP.NET developer who loves learning new frameworks, and methodologies, and I absolutely love simple, yet elegant solutions (don't we all?). Since I'm constantly picking up new things, I'm always asking myself how I can use the new knowledge in my current app to make it better, or more user friendly (or even more developer friendly). In my free time I typically am coding, reading tech books or spending time with my beautiful bride. And that's about it. Hope I didn't bore you too much.
