InsertCommand .NET Date

So, i have been messing with .NET more and more. Just wanted to make a note just in case there is another developer out there looking for this solution. So the problem was i needed to place a date into the database but had no idea. So in the “asp:SqlDataSource” i edited the InsertCommand.


InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [rev1_posts] ([subject], [email], [body], [status], [created_at]) VALUES (@subject, @email, @body, 1, getdate())"


Note i added “getdate()” to grab the current date. Simple i know but it took me some time to find the solution.

Guestbook in .NET?

Yes, i have started a “port” of my popular Guestbook in .NET 3.5 VB. This is an update of the “Winn ASP Guestbook” witch is currently un-supported and built in ASP classic. The new version will maintain most of the current specs, including new ones such as; adding users, adding admin users, theming, and more. I am still building the Google project page so i will keep you up to date!

The first planed push will be version 1.0 with very basic and limited features. The rest of the features will be implemented and tested for version 1.5.

Brad Pit to save the world from .NET

I was talking with Jim Mayes about some stuff and we both had come to one conclusion. We as developers need to get Brad Pit to save the world from .NET and ASP. I know your thinking this would never happen… I agree, but i think we should give it a try, .NET makes us hate life. Stand up and voice your dis likes for .NET and then we can call Brad…

We will need his number so, yeah. Someone should bring that… Last i heard it was 555-541-5501 but that was in some Ocean movie that had nothing to do with an ocean, or water, or any liquid for that matter.
