Choosing the web

The web and, in particular, JavaScript are at a stage of explosive innovation which makes it difficult to be certain of choices around libraries and frameworks.  What is certain, though, is that choosing the web means a shift in mindset from an eco-system driven largely by a single vendor to one which is chaotic at times and whose strength is measured by capability, compatibility, community and contributions.

MSBuild is being replaced with PSAKE in my toolkit - so much easier to read than angle brackets.

	# Input Properties
	# ================
	# TEAMCITY_BUILDCONF_NAME = Build definition name from CI Server
	# BUILD_NUMBER = Major.Minor.Revision.Build

	# Targets
	# =======
	# 1. Clean: Cleans build output folders
	# 2. Build: Update version tags, compile solution, run static code analysis
	# 3. Test: Run unit and/or integration tests

colinbowern / Import-SQLPS.ps1

Created July 5, 2013 22:40

Importing SQL PowerShell changes the current folder, make sure it doesn't by wrapping it with these two commands.

	$CurrentFolder = $(Get-Location).Path
	Import-Module SQLPS -DisableNameChecking
	Set-Location $CurrentFolder

Trying to call MSDeploy from PowerShell but it keeps quoting my source/dest parameters. https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/792571/native-application-command-line-parameters-parsing

	function Set-WebSiteOffline {
	param(
	[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$ServerName,
	[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$SiteName,
	[string]$UserName,
	[string]$Password

	$EncodedSiteName = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($SiteName);
	$SiteManagementEndpoint = "https://$ServerName.contoso.com:8172/MSDeploy.axd?Site=$EncodedSiteName";

colinbowern / CreateEventSourceSnippet.cs

Created June 20, 2013 13:16

The call to EventLog.CreateEventSource causes a SecurityException because it has to cycle through the Security log to check. Alternatively you can go into the registry and setup the log and source yourself. Note that this either requires the process to be elevated (see http://stackoverflow.com/a/2818776/79842) or that your user has delegated mod…

	// Need to go direct to the registry as the EventLog.CreateEventSource
	// method cycles through all logs, including the Security log, to
	// verify that the source does not exist and is unique
	try
	{
	var logKeyName = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, @"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\{0}", log);
	var sourceKeyName = String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, @"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\{0}\{1}", log, source);
	using (Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(logKeyName, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree) ??
	Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(logKeyName, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree))
	using (var sourceKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(sourceKeyName, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadWriteSubTree) ??
