You know you've had too much...
...of InstallShield when you dream about it. Last night, after yesterday's problems, I dreamt about events, conditions, and property grids. Ugh! Good thing, I am taking a break from installers soon. Do you dream about your work a lot?...October 07, 2005 -

InstallShield discriminates me!
InstallShield caused a lot of grief today by treating my code as inferior. A single action worked differently if it was invoked by my code than if being called by an InstallShield "native" command. I was trying to implement some advanced logic in an installer's custom feature selection. My goal was to have two features that you can install together or separately. I wanted to force the user to install at least one of the features. InstallShield does not support that, so I ventured into writing a custom action in JScript. I had a simple plan:Verify if both features are deselected and set a flag property. Enable or...October 06, 2005 -

Packaging resources for web parts
Hi. My name is Atanas Korchev and I am a Product Manager here at telerik. I am involved in the development of r.a.d.controls MCMS Edition and r.a.d.editor SharePoint Edition. On this blog I will be sharing my experience with Microsoft SPS and WSS and Microsoft Content Management Server 2002, as well as anything else I find interesting.

Replacing the default Community Server blog editor
I was asked to investigate the possibility of replacing the default FreeTextBox editor on our Community Server with a more sophisticated and easy-to-use editor. I took the challenge and it turned to be an easy one. The whole process took me about an hour - half for reading through the documentation and half for writing the code itself. Lucky for me Community Server uses a provider model, similar to the one in DotNetNuke, that makes it easy for users to change the text editor they wish to use. The only requirement is that the new editor has an appropriate wrapper...September 27, 2005 -

Atlas and strong typing
I have just returned from Microsoft PDC 2005, and I must say that it was marvelous. Being there was worth every miserable second on those flights :). The hottest thing for me was the new AJAX framework for ASP.NET -- Atlas. Shanku Niyogi gave an overview session on Atlas that covered the potential uses of the framework. Nikhil Kothari continued with a session on building Atlas components with server and client side examples. Nikhil has posted an overview of the framework architecture on his blog. You can download the slides of Shanku's presentation here, and Nikhil's -- here. I found it a bit odd at first that some...September 20, 2005
