One of the hidden gems in DotNetNuke 5.0 is the new caching support in the CBO (Custom Business Objects) class. During the refactoring of DotNetNuke for the Cambrian release, caching was one of the things that was closely looked at, since caching was starting to cause major issues in the DNN 4.x branch.

Every once and a while you probably find yourself needing to create an overview of DNN users and some of their profile properties. For instance when your client wants to have that data in an excel spreadsheet….

Right after I posted the blog about a tool I found to clear the Recent Projects list in Visual Studio, Maarten van Stam pointed me to a much better tool than that, MRU Cleaner from Bob DeRosa.

Always when doing visual studio demo’s, I am having issues with a long list of previously opened projects. Not that I mind anyone seeing what projects i am involved with, but the screen gets cluttered, and its a lot harder to pick the right project for your demo.

As many people that are using Twitter, I am using TweetDeck to manage the information overload. One of the many usefull features of TweetDeck is that you can add a search column to your view. Many DotNetNuke tweeps are using this feature to filter on everything that is tweeted about DotNetNuke.

Today I released my first DNN 5 module (more about that here). It’s taken me on and off about a week to get the module properly packaged. Partly because of lack of documentation about the new extension manifest. So here are the things i found out during the packaging process… hope someone else is helped by this info as well.

When you need to upgrade multiple DotNetNuke websites it is sometimes hard to figure out what version a specific site is. Of course, you could logon to all your sites, but that takes quite some time.
If you have installed the databases of your sites in one sql server instance, there is another option available. You could open all databases, open the Version table, and check the highest version number in that table. This is still a lot of work though… however, it is something that can be automated with a little effort.

DNN 5 now has the option to give non admins access to admin modules. You can just put any admin module on a new page and give users access to that. An even easier thing to do is to just give non admins permissions to use a specific admin page.

Last week I was asked to come up with a way to use the Page Icon in DotNetNuke as a source for a multi lingual enabled image on a page. Although this could have been done by creating a skinobject, I decided to pull this one off by creating an "inline" skinobject.. by lack of a better term.

Just another day in the live of a (ASP.NET) developer. If you are anything like me that you spend a considerable time of your day researching, and of course... Google is one of the tools of choice here.....Or is it?
