It has been a while since I have posted a technical article on the blog. This is because I am spending almost all my time working on bringing some existing and new products to market.

I am still working on the rebranded and improved release of the Support Debugging Tool. There will be a number of improvements in its features and navigation, more on that soon.

For now, I wanted to post a really clever method of using the Support Debugging Tool to provide additional functionality to end users.

It has been many years since my BlackBox game got a mention and so I thought it was time to bring it up again.

I first wrote the game BlackBox for Dexterity in 1999 while I operated as Winthrop Dexterity Consultants. The game is based the original board game by Eric Solomon and was created with his kind permission.

How to enable Visual Studio Tools Customisations for the Web Client

Apr 8, 2015 Tagged with Best Practice, Development, Visual Basic .Net, Visual C#, Visual Studio 1 Comment

Have you ever written some cool Visual Studio Tools (VST) code that worked great on the desktop client, but does not work on the web client? VST code that does not use any WinForms or uses WinForms but only with supported controls and so should work?

Well, I have. A great example is the Company Login window customisations covered in the blog posts below:

The code worked fine on the desktop client, but had no effect in the web client. Something was missing, but I did not know what.

Convergence 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA has come to an end and it is now time to post the final wrap up.

I really enjoyed the social and networking aspects of the conference and loved presenting. It is also great to hear feedback from customers and partners about how the work done in the community (forums, blogs, etc.) is appreciated.

#CONV15 – Convergence 2015 Atlanta – Post Conference and Getting Home

Apr 2, 2015 Tagged with Conference, Convergence 2015, News No Comments

When I booked my flights for Convergence 2015 in Atlanta, I specifically added extra days after the conference so I could relax and spend time with Mariano and his family. Maybe we could do some sight seeing as business travel often fails to take in the sights around the city you have travelled to.
