Yeah, I know. It has been a LONG time since I posted anything. I’ve been busy.
One of my recent projects brought up something I think you may be interested in so I thought I’d post about it.
Recently, I created a FaceBook tab for Labels For Education using dotnetnuke 6.1 which just added an API for retrieving information from Facebook.

Cross Language References in ASP.NET
Most ASP.NET programmers are aware that the environment allows programmers to write code in multiple languages. This is what allows a programmer who prefers csharp to write modules for DotNetNuke in csharp even though the core code is written in VB.NET. (Until version 6.0, anyhow, where the core will finally be written in CSharp.)
What many don’t realize is that you can’t have CSharp code reference VB.NET and also have VB.NET code reference the CSharp code within the same application. At least, you can’t do it directly.
AddThis.com From E-Mail
Last week, I had a client ask me how to implement sharing from an email. On the face of it, sharing isn’t that hard for any specific service. Facebook has their way. Twitter has its way. But we’ve been using the AddThis.com service. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could provide a way to implement sharing from within an email for any service AddThis.com provided? And what if you could also add the “Share” button so that even if you didn’t put the service in the email that they wanted to use, they still were able to share using the share button?
Well, it took a while, but I finally figured it all out.

The Programmers’ Revolt
Every once in a while, something happens in life that makes you say, “enough!”
That happened a couple of weeks ago to me and a couple other programmers working on the same project that I’m working on.
The issue was that we had made some significant changes to a project, we had communicated to the project manager that the changes required that the entire project needed to be retested, but the testing never happened. So of course we spent the next several days doing the “testing” and fixing.
This scenario should resonate with just about every programmer that reads this blog, but it should raise some questions as well.
Using COM Objects from aSP.NET
I got the following question yesterday:
Hi, I created a web application in which I am generating a ms-word document using microsoft.Office.Interop.Word dll. The application is running fine in the visual studio but when I tried to run on IIS 5.0 through virtual directory then its giving the following error – Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {000209FF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80070005. In my application I have taken reference of microsoft Word 12.0 Object Library, but its coming as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word dll, this interop dll is just a wrapper of the actual word COM dll. But I have to register the actual word COM dll. so my problem is to find – 1) The path of the original word dll(COM) 2) How to register this dll, either using regsvr32 or to register on IIS. OR there will be any other solution. I have gone through many forums but did’nt get any solution. If you have any idea/suggestion on COM Word components please revert me back.
