While working on the Engage: Publish module's latest round of enhancements I started having problems working with my development machine at home. The machine here is a Vista Ultimate machine that I've blogged about getting configured in the past. The issue I had been stumbling over for a few weeks, though only researched solutions last night, had to do with ASP.NET Ajax. DNN ships with an older version of the System.Web.Extensions DLL. Which appears to work fine on my machine at work (in which I probably also had the AJAX framework installed). At home though on Vista whenever I tried to go to one of my test pages that had Publish installed I would get an error about the Scriptmanager must come before the Updatepanel control.
Well fine and dandy, but I'm positive that we had the codecheck in place for this. It ends up that with Vista I was having problems with that old version of System.web.extensions. The fix was rather easy, I simple downloaded the .Net 3.5 framework and installed it. Now it appears that all is well once again in Vistaland. If you need to download the 3.5 framework get it here from MS.
Now I have to decide, do I install VS2008 on my home machine, or do I spend some money and upgrade my machine (build a new one), then install 2k8 on that..... Decisions decisions.

DotNetNuke Daily Tip for 6/27/2006
This is a quick tip as I was out of town for a while and haven't had a chance to catch back up yet.
Did you know with DotNetNuke 4.3 you can now edit content in place on your website? What's that you say? You didn't know this?
Well that's right, you can change module titles within your DotNetNuke pages, and have been able to do that for a few versions with DNN4. BUT, something new to DotNetNuke 4.3, the Text/HTML module includes this functionality as well. You can edit text within the Text/HTML modules without having to go to the edit screen, and also save these changes by clicking elsewhere on the site.
Stay tuned for another DotNetNuke Daily Tip coming tomorrow!Posted from...

DotNetNuke Daily Tip for 6/23/2006
Have you ever needed to send mail from one of your DotNetNuke modules? Here's the DotNetNuke method for sending off a message.
public static System.String SendMail ( System.String MailFrom , System.String MailTo , System.String Cc , System.String Bcc , DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailPriority Priority , System.String Subject , DotNetNuke.Services.Mail.MailFormat BodyFormat , System.Text.Encoding BodyEncoding , System.String Body , System.String Attachment , System.String SMTPServer , System.String SMTPAuthentication , System.String SMTPUsername , System.String SMTPPassword )
But what does that really mean? Here's a simple call to the mail function from a module.
Mail.SendMail("FROM@ADDRESS.COM", "TO@ADDRESS.COM", "", "THIS IS THE SUBJECT", "THIS IS THE MESSAGE BODY", "", "HTML", "", "", "", "" );
Could it get any simpler than that?
Actually it could! Here's another signature for sendmail
public static System.String SendMail ( System.String MailFrom , System.String MailTo , System.String Bcc , System.String Subject , System.String Body , System.String Attachment , System.String BodyType , System.String SMTPServer , System.String SMTPAuthentication , System.String SMTPUsername , System.String SMTPPassword )
