Tag-Specific Feeds at GWB (or any SubText Site)

Tim Heuer wrote and asked if there was a feed from my blog *just* for Silverlight. I didn't know you could do it, but Tim showed me I could.

So, for those of you that don't want to be bothered by my non-Silverlight blather, you can just switch your feed to this Silverlight-only one.

This also means that for any GWB blogger or any SubText site, I would guess, you can get a content-specific feed. Find where the writer's "Post Categories" are, and when you hover over the one you want, in the status bar or wherever(depending upon your browser), you should see something like 12345.aspx. Using that info and the base link for the blog, you can create the feed.

For instance, my Crystal Reports category is 5661.aspx so to generate a CrystalReports-only feed from my blog, you'd type:

http://geekswithblogs.net/WynApseTechnicalMusings/Category/5661.aspx/rss

I just tried that and it works just fine :)

I had wondered a couple times if that was possible, but never asked anyone, so thanks for the info, Tim!

Stay in the 'Light!

Silverlight Cream for May 09, 2008 -- #271

Michael Sync with Styling the DataGrid and LeeOnTech Scrolling in the ItemsControl.

From SilverlightCream.com:
Silverlight 2 (beta1): Styling the Datagrid & Formating Datagrid Date Column
Michael Sync adds some styling to the DataGrid, and has the code on his site.
Scrolling In ItemsControl
Lee Shows a way to scroll an ScrollViewer by using buttons instead of a scrollbar... I like outside-the box ideas like this because it makes people think, and pretty soon someone creates something that we all can't live without :)

Why Does Crystal Reports ALWAYS kick my Axx - Part VIII -- Load Report Failed

Ok I've visited this one before, but now I'm just a tad scared, because first I had the VS2003 .NET 1.1 bits working on the server, then I went through the whole IIS and VS2005 .NET 2.0 CR bits.

Now this morning I got email from a user that one of the reports is pooting... argggg...

And it's the infamous "Load Report Failed" error.

I tried and of course, it poots on my system as well :(   ... I tried the .NET 2.0 "Merge" version and wow... that sucker just flies .. cool!

So back to Google and a bunch of people looking for the same info as always.

I dropped back to my blog post about the last time CR kicked me in the teeth on this one, and went to the VS2005 d/l page I posted. It took me a bit to find the generic d/l page for everything (boy wouldn't you just hate to support CR???) .. but I found the generic download everything page here, and the specific VS2003 page here.

I did the setup.msi for VS2003 the same as the one I did for VS2005 and now things are swell, including the .NET 2.0 build... thank goodness!

The only thing that bothers me is I thought I already did that setup once. Maybe I found a different post that didn't have all the goodness in it. I just checked the GAC on the server, and since I didn't take a copy of what was there before, it didn't drop a whole bunch of files in like the .NET 2.0 one did... I really can't tell anything other than the fact that it's running.

"Don't wake a sleeping baby" ... good words to live by, and that baby includes Crystal Reports :)
