Pfew, it has been a while since my last noticeable blog post. I'm sorry for my avid readers who have visited my blog in vain in the last couple of months. Just to kill some rumours: I don’t have a blog restraint, I haven’t transformed into a Websphere junkie and I’m still alive. :-) Holidays are over and I’m ready for the new Blogging Season!
So what’s coming in the near future? The PDC is real close now, in a little more than one week I’ll be in L.A. to attend my first big Microsoft convention. Stay tuned for some blog reports about SharePoint, Office and other Information Worker related news from the PDC.
What’s better to start the new season by making a nice announcement? Tonight I’ve finished a new version of the SmartPart, it has the following new/improved features:
- support for custom ToolParts
- easy access to the underlying web part
- support for custom properties without exposing them in the property toolpart
- various minor improvements
Although the code is built and packaged, I haven’t released the new version to the GotDotNet Workspace yet. I want to create some accompanying documentation first. I’m not going to write a lot of documents, but I’m thinking of recording some webcast style videos (easier for me and easier for you). I expect this to be finished this weekend. If you can’t wait and you want to give it a try without documentation, contact me for the bits.
