Woes With External Assemblies
In all my years developing with .NET I haven’t ever had a situation that I needed to load an external library into my code at runtime. Normally, I simply add the reference to my project and I’m on my way. As it turns out it can be slightly tricky if you’re new to it.

Enumeration Extensions 2.0
A while back I had posted some code about making it easier to work with enumerated types — Especially with the Flags attribute.

Using MongoDB With Visual Studio
My new project CSMongo, a Mongo driver for .NET, is now online! Check it out!

WebControls In MVC… again…
I’m a big fan of MVC so far but there are certainly parts that I don’t like. For example, who is responsible for logical changes to a HTML markup in a view? The Controller? The Model? Personally, I don’t think either of them should which leaves the View to pick up the slack.
