I ran across CodeBetter.Com

CodeBetter.com has some great development information for both the novice and the die-hard.

I ran across some well written articles on the ACID model and database normalization from Raymond Lewallen.

New article on the Blue River by Pat Dorsey

Pat Dorsey has a new article in the Feb 2006 issue of Fly Fisherman Magazine. It is a great article with incredible detail. Its a keeper.

Simple regex to strip HTML tags

It may not be perfect but it works for me:

string stripped = Regex.Replace(textBox1.Text,@"<(.\n)*?>",string.Empty);

Here is the original article from Roy Osherove' blog

Heading to the beach

We are heading to the beach for our summer vacation. No computers, no code, no bugs. Sun, beach, lobster, relaxation, a little fly fishing for stripers, and maybe a little bit of surfing (if the waves cooperate). I am really excited to get out of town and "press the reset button". See ya in 2 weeks.

Utility for running stored procs via the command prompt

I found a cool utility for running stored procs via the command prompt:

http://blog.bartholomew.id.au/index.php/2005/07/24/nsqlsp-utility-to-easily-run-stored-procedures-from-the-command-line/

There is often the need to quickly run a stored-procedure from the
command-line because you don’t have access to Enterprise Manager or Query
Analyzer (especially when working with MSDE). Sure, you could use osql.exe to
run the stored-procedure, but what if you can’t quite remember what parameters
the stored-procedure takes or can’t quite remember the name? Well this is the
hole that nsqlsp was designed to fill. It comes in particularly handy for
calling system stored procedures (such as sp_addlogin).
