I’ve released a new version (2.3) of the Validator Toolkit for ASP.NET MVC 1.0, that is fixing an issue regarding format changes in the jQuery validation plugin of the minlength, maxlength and rangelength validators.

I have created some code clips (in German language) for Microsoft MSDN to show how to access SAP data in .NET using LINQ to SAP from Theobald Software. The clips will show how to display SAP data in Silverlight using ADO.NET Data Services and LINQ to SAP.

You may visit the website MSDN-Solve.de and search for SAP or just click the following links:

Code Clip #1 – SAP access with LINQ to SAP
Code Clip #2 – SAP webservice via ADO.NET Data Services
Code Clip #3 – SAP data access in Silverlight using webservices

I finally created a Windows-Installer for the Stock Quotes Add-In for Excel 2007 (see article here). You can download the installer here, he modified source code here.

For more details and instructions how to use the add-in please check out the article I have written.

IMPORTANT:

Before using the add-in you should check if the installation has been executed correctly. Open the Excel 2007 options dialog and click the menu item Add-Ins. The list active add-ins should contain the "Parago.de Stock Quotes Function Add-In" (COM-Add-In) as well as the "Parago.de Stock Quotes UI Add-In" (COM-Add-In).

Then open the "Excel-Add-In" dialog by pressing the button on the Add-Ins dialog window (see button on the bottom of the dialog). Then check if the Add-In "ParagoStockQuote.Functions" is available in the list and is marked. If not add it to the list and mark it.

I wrote an article about custom cursors in Silverlight 2 on CodeProject.com. This article describes how to implement the custom cursor types in Silverlight. The article is also available as PDF file at the Parago website. Feel free to send me your feedback.

I wrote a new article about MergedDictionaries for ResourceDictionary in Silverlight 2 on CodeProject.com. This article describes how to implement the MergedDictionaries feature for resource dictionaries in Silverlight. The article is also available as PDF file at the Parago website. Feel free to send me your feedback.

I wrote an article about LINQ to SAP at CodeProject.com, a new LINQ provider I developed for the company Theobald Software GmbH in Stuttgart, Germany. This provider allows you to easily connect to SAP/R3 systems using the LINQ technology and a Visual Studio 2008 Designer. LINQ to SAP is part of the ERPConnect software suite that interconnects SAP/R3 systems with .NET. You can find more details here.

Yesterday I started this new project on CodePlex called Validator Toolkit for ASP.NET MVC. The Validator Toolkit provides a set of validators for the new ASP.NET MVC framework to validate HTML forms on the client and server-side using validation sets. By defining a validation set, e.g. a LoginValidationSet class, the toolkit will generate code, in conjunction with the JavaScript library jQuery, to validate on the client-side and will use the same set of rules to validate on the server-side.

Yesterday I started this new project in order to create a nice and useful collection of extension methods for all kind of types (e.g. String class extensions). I published a first release with an initial set of extension methods. Please feel free to contribute with code or ideas.
