I just started working with a new client in Port Charlotte. They have had a website built by a company in Tampa and how now parted company with that company, so to speak. So I pick up this system and start to go through the coding and it’s build etc, trying to get up to […]

Visual Studio, SQL Server et al upgrades…
So its been a fair while since my last blog post and boy have I been busy. Here are a few items that I have to write about soon, so as not to forget what the hell it is I’ve been so busy with lately. Upgrade to Visual Studio 2005 (yes I know this may […]
The Joys Of XML
I’m currently working on a project that requires posting and reading response online using XML. I’m not talking about web services here, it’s a plain old POST of an XML file, response is returned as copious amounts of XML, read that and build a web form based on the contents (yawn), have website user make […]
SQL Server NOT IN Clause

Well, I was working on it today and thought I might post a little TSQL code here for your viewing pleasure… CREATE PROC stpDropDownEmployees_MGR (@FirstRowText nvarchar(50) = ‘—ALL ACCOUNTS—‘ ) AS SELECT […]
SQL Server 2000
I’ve been working as a professional developer since 1991 (yikes!). I started out developing databases using Microsoft Access 1.1 and quickly moved to SQL Server on the backend. One of the cool things about SQL Server is the power of Transact SQL. I’m a Visual Basic programmer and don’t profess to be an expert in […]
ASP.NET & SQL Server 2000 – New Client

I have just taken over the day-to-day management of the system, providing code updates & modifications. This is one of those scenarios where you kind of hope that you will be able to get […]
