Web Services Security - HTTP Basic Authentication without Active Directory The sample is a .NET HTTP Module, which handles the authentication against a custom data store (a XML file in the sample, easy to change to a database or whatever you need). It will also work in shared hosting environments where you can't even think about ISAPI filters. [Greg Reinacker's Weblog] 5:18:32 PM

Okay, I give. Uncle. Radio has screwed me for the last time. It's publishing blank pages now. Christ, what a pain this thing has been. I need suggestions for alternatives that will work with my host (W2K/ASP/ASP.net, not much freedom for installing server-side software). Suggestions, please? I'm strongly considering going back to CityDesk! [The .NET Guy] I always thought Brad was a CityDesk fan and then recently noticed he had gone to Radio. Now I've finally started playing around with Radio, started using the News Aggregator (fun stuff!) -- and I'm wondering if this thing is going to fail on me sometime in the future... :( 12:24:07 PM

More on the .NET PropertyGrid Whenever someone has questions about the .NET PropertyGrid, I always refer them to a great MSDN article: Make Your Components Really RAD with Visual Studio .NET Property Browser Today, I saw another one that goes over all the cool details: Getting the Most Out of the .NET Framework PropertyGrid Control. 6:29:46 AM

Creating a Design Surface Using Windows Forms and GDI+ in Microsoft .NET. There's an article just posted over on MSDN that shows how to create a graphics layout engine using GDI+ (via System.Drawing and child namespaces) and Windows Forms. The author uses the composite pattern to represent his graphical elements at runtime. He then goes into describing how to print the model out via the System.Drawing.Printing namespace. A really good article on multiple levels. [Drew's Blog] Very cool article. Shows how to do basic features like: - Support multiple graphical elements such as text, pictures, and shapes. - Allow movement and rotation of those elements. - Support drawing to the printer as well as to the screen. - Allow finished compositions to be saved to disk and loaded back into the design surface.b - Visually represent printer page boundaries on the screen to make it easier to position elements relative to the printed page. 6:05:28 AM
