.Net for Domino Developers Part 6

Monday, February 27th, 2006

When you want consistency in your Domino site design, you use ViewTemplates and SubForms. In .NET you would use Master Pages, which is the topic of this installment in the .NET for Domino Developers series.

We have all done it, creating lots of ViewTemplates for our Domino views, or creating them so they can use the […]

Hat tip to Jim Anderton, there is a free download of a beta VMWare server available here. Excellent tool for the belt of those who tend to download alot of software for “testing”, but never seem to uninstall it when done.

Not to say that the documentcollection does not have its uses, but I cannot figure out why it would not work for me […]

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

Everyone who runs a blog deals with the incessant blog spam. There are alot of tools out there that block this crap, or at least hold it until you can spank it.
