Well, I didn't get as far as I had hoped tonight, quite a few things jumped up on me this evening, BUT, I did get work done on DnnCart!

What I have left before the first release is to get the SQL Stored Procedures created and wire them up to the SqlDataProvider. I have the initial Products table created, as well as the AddProducts stored proc. I'll be getting the Update, Delete, GetProduct, and GetProducts functionality done tomorrow and put all of that out in my release.

I may stay up for a bit longer tonight and crank through some of that, though I know I will pay for it tomorrow!

After farting around with Windows Vista the past two days, and getting VS 2005 and SQL Server Tools installed on this machine I've finally started on Development for the new DnnCart.

This is a complete ground up rewrite, and will actually be a new approach for me for the development process. I hope to get to the point where I'm posting a new build daily, or at least as often as I can get to working on the module, hopefully an hour or two each night.

Tomorrow is planned tol be my first build, 9/26/2006. In that build you'll have the ability to add/update a Product. In that build a Product will consist of only a few attributes, but I'll be adding new attributes over time. So, expect this tomorrow night.

I'm thinking that DnnCart may be revived from the ashes it currently resides in. I'll see how things go in the next week. I'll be working on the DotNetNuke Wiki module for the Core Projects, if I can get some of that work offloaded to other developers I'll tackle getting DnnCart up and rolling again!

It's been far too long since I've blogged here, so where have I been? I've been busy as crap lately. Here's some of the sites I've worked on since I last blogged here.

http://www.youthroots.com more to come on this project later, but this was a huge project that started 4 weeks ago, launched on 6/15/06.

http://www.stlouischildrens.org we got them upgraded to DNN 4.0.3 and installed the latest and greatest version of our AMS Module.

http://www.lightworksdistribution.com a quick DNN site and custom module

We've updated the forums on DnnCart.com, so they will now function! Horray for working code!

There are currently two forums, DnnCart and cDotText. If we need more we'll get them created.

I've been spending a few hours coming up with the new Database design for DnnCart.com. So far it's coming along nicely, it mimics the original design with a few tweaks to try to improve the data management.

I'm looking at a way to display the design on this website for all to see and comment out. I've been designing in Enterprise Manager, so if anyone knows of a good way to get the design onto this site for everyone to see let me know.

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I've started development on the public version of DnnCart.

There aren't enough good C# modules out there, so I'm going to develop DnnCart in C#, which is going to take some translation work from my existing code, but will also allow me to clean up the hacked together version of DnnCart that currently runs on SoloPerformance.com.

More to come soon!
