This is a big thing and I’m sure it won’t be needed much, but the library is so large for .Net that sometimes finding out how to do something easy can take MUCH longer then it should. For example I am working on a new app where the user has to pick a directory for processing files. The output need ... (More) | | | | Announcing the Apple iProduct
I usually try to stay away from personal editorials on MS vs. Apple, but with the upcoming “mystery” (yeah, right) announcement, I gotta say, it sure seems like this Mock Ad for the iProduct is so apropos! A Boy And His Computer - Announcing the Apple iProduct Announcing the Apple iProduct D ... (More) | | | | InstallShield and Integration with TFS source control
So I’m working with install shield (which hasn’t been my favorite product in the past) and have been trying to get the source control integration built in to work with TFS source control.

If you are subscribed to this blog in feeds.feedburner, be aware that the links to the blog are being rendered incorrectly by Google. I’m working on it to see if I can make a workaround for their bug. Use http://www.longcloud.co.nz/Blogs/rss.xml instead.
