CodeMash 2.0.0.8

I’m here at CodeMash 2008 in Sandusky. I’d like to say it was a beautiful drive, but in reality it was quite boring. Not much to look at. I did get caught up on my .Net Rocks episodes though. The IT world is very small and even coming all the way up to Sandusky I ran into a host of people I know: Bill Wagner, Josh Holmes, Jeff Blankenburg, Jim Holmes, Joe Wirtley, Dan Hounshell, Dustin Campbell, Brian Sherwin, Jason Follas, Darrell Hawley, Dave Giard, etc.

.NN#12: Pre-build Events and Errors

I’ve written about pre-build events before on another web site. These are a great tools for when you need to perform an action prior to a project being built; however, there can be a few gotchas to keep in mind. Using Pre-build Events with Command Line DevEnv As part of the article linked above I indicated that the pre and post build events would not fire if you executed the build using the devenv command line.

Upcoming Speaking

I will be speaking at the Dayton .Net Developers Group on January 23rd. The topic will be my “Be a Rules Follower” talk. This talk focuses on using the Windows Workflow Rules Engine. I had submitted a few topics to the CodeMash conference, but was one of the unfortunate that didn’t make it through the selection process. On the upside, I was asked by Bill Wagner to be one of the professionals in the “Experts Zone” at CodeMash.
