.NET 3.5
Recently I have been working on creating a dynamic reporting engine for use within the DotNetNuke system, a method to allow for the execution of a stored procedure and the proper display of the results. This includes creating a list of parameters, including dynamically loaded lookup systems and more. Well the most complex item that I have had to condition for was how to deal with filter options that require the use of the SQL IN clause, there are many ways of doing this, but I have found a way that appears to work perfect for my needs, this will be explained in this posting.

Recently I have answered a number of questions regarding an easy way to export datagrid contents to excel format. In this blog post I will share a static class that I have created called "ExportHelper" which I use quite often to generate quick Excel exports of datagrid data. I will outline the process and the code below. It should be noted that this solution is NOT a DotNetNuke specific solution, I use this for both DotNetNuke and standard ASP.NET solutions.

Recently when browsing the forums on DotNetNuke.com I have noticed more and more
questions regarding Script Injection vulnerability in the core and third-party modules.
I have often found that at times it is hard for non-developers to truly understand
the concept of script injection and what makes a site vulnerable. So in this
article I will take a bit of time to discuss both types of injection that users
of DotNetNuke should be aware of, how to test for them, and also how to prevent
the vulnerability when creating modules.

Recently I have been asked by multiple people what rapid design tools I use, or
what types of code generation tools do I use. Many people are surprised when
I tell them that for the most part I don't use any rapid generation tools.
I do use a few home grown tools, such as my Info Class Generator, which is available
on this site. However, that is as far as I go with automated code generators.
However, one thing that I have started using more and more frequently are Code Snippets
within Visual Studio.
I have found that creating a few helpful Code Snippets has allowed me to quickly
and easily format my code, and build my needed structures in almost no time.
In this blog article I will share two of my most commonly used Code Snippets, if
there is a demand I will post future code snippets here as well.

Part of getting ready for OpenForce '07 involved looking into Visual Studio 2008 and Silverlight. As happens every time I browse new technology I got quickly sidetracked and sumbled upon a Microsoft document that outlines all of the new features with C# 3.0 which will be released with Visual Studio 2008 as part of the .NET 3.0 framework. This article will give you a quick overview of the first thing I found, and honestly one of my favorites overall "Automatically Implemented Properties"
