Mike Woodring has an implementation for AppSettings related to an assembly here.  With Visual Studio .NET you can mimic the same behavior as the app.config (building and renaming of the config to the bin directory) by using a post build event:

 

copy $(ProjectDir)dll.config $(TargetPath).config

 

This event takes your dll.config and copies it to the bin directory of the build.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I spent some time earlier this year working on a large SharePoint site.  One of the things that I became pretty frustrated with was the navigation experience for SharePoint administration.  I came up with this Mind Map that shows the layout (for WSS only).  I decided to share it with people to verify its accuracy and get feedback on it.

a long summer.  A lot has happened the last six months.  I finished (actually nearly finished) my basement.  I left BORN in July to become self employed as an independent consultant, and have been billing an average of 60 hours a week.  I am working on a pretty interesting project for a large insurance company, dealing with SOA and BizTalk 2004.  I also have been working on a white paper for the Microsoft Architecture Advisory Board, addressing the architecture of Smart Clients.

 

I just finished an InfoPath form for writing dasBlog entries off-line (using it right now).  InfoPath has a pretty good rich text editor, and works pretty well for composing entries (can't live with out the Word like integrated spell check).  Plus I wanted to play a bit with the Office 2003 Service Pack 1 that was released a while back with dramatic InfoPath improvements.  Over the next couple of weeks I am going to put together a service that will submit the blog entries once you are connected again.
