After much waiting and speculation, 21 SSL for ASP.NET has been released and available for immediate download! This is a very useful tool that we are very proud of.
21 SSL allows developers to enable SSL redirects on their pages that require SSL, and shut it off for those pages that do not need it.

I am looking at some java utilities that I would like to have in C#/.NET bindings for, and I remembered that Microsoft has a really useful, but not altogether great, tool for doing this. It's called the Java Language Conversion Assistant. I did a quick search and found that it is packaged with VS.NET 2005.
I remember briefly with the 2003 version that you could access it from the File -> Convert menu in VS. I tried the same in VS.NET 2005, but it wasn't there. So I went through all of the menu bars, and couldn't find it anywhere. I searched google and found nothing. Eventually (after an embarassingly long amount of time) I entered the correct combinations of words in google and found an obscure reference on where it could be.
So, for those of you that are missing this, here is how to start the JLCA 3.0 to convert java to C# in Visual Studio .NET 2005.
First, is it in File -> Convert?
If not:
Second, go to Tools -> Customize -> Commands -> Rearrange Commands -> Menu Bar: File -> Add ... -> Add Command Dialog -> File -> Convert -> Hit Ok...

I'm running 2005, but a client of mine is on 2000. I thought I was in for trouble, but here is the solution: http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread532998.html.
Here are some hints in case you want to try on your own first:
Generate the script for your database object, split it so that the foreign key run after the second step.
Generate two bulk copy scripts with a select statement from sysobjects: one for exporting 2005 and one importing batch file for 2000.

Two years ago or so, I started recruiting computer science students from UMKC. It's only around 15 minutes or so away from Henderson Engineers (my former employer), and I figured that I could recruit some good students to help out with the development and give back a little to the community. It also has the added benefits of training potential employees who can hit the ground running, an unparalleled screening process, and keeping fresh ideas flowing in. I had great success with this, and it is a testament to the quality of study available at UMKC.
I had eight UMKC students or alum working under my supervision at some point or another, and I recruited one more right before I resigned. From what I hear, he is fantastic. I have to admit it was kind of a no brainer since he had a serious chance of interning for the NSF, which is why I didn't hire him sooner. I really felt like it had been a win-win situation. These young men and women helped us get a lot of stuff done, and we were able to provide them with guidance, perspective and experience.

Microsoft provides a very good extension model for Visual Studio 2005. One of my favorites is the snippet library. It helps to make short work of repetitive tasks. One that I use more than any other is the property snippet. I have created an improvement on this and these are the instructions for setting it up.
