In Visual Studio we can create macros that plug in to the Evironment Events. The Macro in this blog post will output to the Build window the date and time the Process was completed. Whilst the macro is simple it is a great starting point for Building more macros that utilise the Visual Studio IDE.

DotNetNuke and web services, they were simple back in the day but things have changed in the .NET framework.

For Web Services mostly you will be told to modify the web.config which for me is a not very nice and another thing to manage when you are deploying your module. With a few lines this can be done in code and is my preferred solution.

I thought I would release a new module for DotNetNuke, but what? After a thought, I have always liked the idea of adding a nice user feedback to the search interface in DotNetNuke. So I sat down and created the PageSearch. This was going to be a simple module that scanned the contents of a page and highlighted the word or phrase in the page. As time moved on in the development stage I clearly saw that I could extend the functionality further with zero configuration to DotNetNuke itself.

Whilst at Subzero Solutions our main play is DotNetNuke Consultancy, we also build modules for the ecosystem. Currently there are a few modules in the pipeline and the first is to be released very soon. Rather than give much away at present it is easy to say that all the modules that were created in the past by Subzero Solutions will be revamped and released for the DotNetNuke framework version 6.
