CLYDE BARRETTO's BLOG - .NET etc.

When hosting a blog with the dasBlog do not name your dasBlog web application as dasBlog

If you have hosted your blog using dasBlog on your IIS Server then do not name the application as dasBlog. I had my blog hosted at www.knowthycode.com/dasBlo g. Brian had put a reference to my blog in his blog hosted in dasBlog, and it should have worked.

But nope the dasBlog Web application does not like the word "dasBlog" in any URL's specified in its web post's. So when you post the web log like brian did it kinda does a find and replace for the word "dasBlog" as part of URL's and really screwes up the way the HREF is rendered to a browser in the web post.

What does the replace is the section listed below in your Site.Config for your dasBlog web application.

<ContentFilter find="dasBlog" replace="<a href="http://www.dasblog.net">dasBlog</a>" isregex="false" />"

Watch how weird this webpost looks due to the word dasBlog in it's contents.

Thanks Brian for pointing this out

Clyde Barretto started blogging

I have officially started blogging November 19'Th 2005. I hope to share my ideas and concepts through this blog and have fun doing it. I speak at user groups about development using Visual Studio 2005, .NET Framework 2.0, I want this blog to initially serve as a portal for people who are interested in and want to collaborate on topics that interest me.

About myself: Worked in the Software Industry for about 13 years. I started programming in COBOL/C/Unix and have since then gone onto build successful database intensive enterprise applications primarily using Microsoft Technology (VB6/COM+/.NET/ CENTURA/SQL Server/ORACLE). I specialize in building software components for use in Database driven GUI applications.

Thanks Brian for the help on blogging and everything else.
