The first is the Regulator that allows you to build regular expression with intellisense included. The second tool is the regulazy that allows you to typein text select it and via right click create your regular expression:<br /><br /><a href="http://tools.osherove.com/Default.aspx?tabid=165">http://tools.osherove.com/Default.aspx?tabid=165</a><br /><br />The third is not really a tool but a library that helps you find regular expressions that others have created for you:<br /><br /><a href="http://regexlib.com/">http://regexlib.com/</a><br /><br />This posting is also available at: <a href="http://csharpguild.blogspot.com/2008/05/regular-expressions-help.html">http://csharpguild.blogspot.com/2008/05/regular-expressions-help.html</a> You can check out this blog for additional information related to c#<br /><br />If you find any regular expression tools or other tools you find useful please email them to me at <a href="mailto:susan@clinchportal.com">susan@clinchportal.com</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391488860607627730.post-62996767494349201462008-05-02T10:10:00.001-07:002008-05-02T10:10:41.623-07:00Perpetual BeginnerFor those just learning some of the newer technologies such as subsonic, linq, mvc, etc this is going to be fast becoming the place to go.

Subsonic is a tool that integrates closely with Visual Studio 2005 and will generate an object model for your database at compile time based on the database connection in your web.config. <br /><br />This greatly simplifies your code as all the connection logic, proc calls with types etc all disappear into a couple lines of code. Its amazing. You should really look into it. I have provided a couple links here to get you started.\\<br /><br />Here is the main site for the project: http://www.subsonicproject.com/<br />You will also want the tools that integrate with Visual Studio 2005 available at:<br />http://www.codeplex.com/subsonictools<br /><br />If you have any cool links about subsonic post comments here with them or email them to me at chris@clinchportal.com or chrisw_88@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391488860607627730.post-60857138127490762412007-09-20T05:42:00.001-07:002007-09-20T05:42:44.778-07:00Enumerating SQL Servers from .NET 2.0<p>I ran into a situation where I was not sure of the name of the SQL Server I would be using on a hosted site. </p><p>I found this code that helped to find a list of them all.</p><p><a href="http://dotnetslackers.com/SQL/re-20320_Enumerating_SQL_Servers_from_NET_2_0.aspx">http://dotnetslackers.com/SQL/re-20320_Enumerating_SQL_Servers_from_NET_2_0.aspx</a></p><p>Hope this helps you too.</p>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391488860607627730.post-12975081868222017672007-08-09T09:44:00.000-07:002007-08-09T09:46:31.165-07:00IntroductionWelcome To The VB.NET Guild.<br /><br />Although, I am mainly a C# developer and actually prefer it, I have been getting comments from vb.net developers that there is a growing need for a Guild for them as well.<br /><br />I have finally caved and here we are. I will try an place cross-over articles on both blogs and place vb.net specific ones here.<br /><br />If you have any vb.net specific issues, tips, tricks, sample code you wish to share with the guild simply email me at <a href="mailto:chris.williams@clinchportal.com">chris.williams@clinchportal.com</a> and I will post them here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0
