The past few weeks have been very busy, I have stopped working from home and
moved into a new office. I thought I could just move the pc and just start
working. I couldn’t have been more wrong; the lack of an internet connection
made work slow going. My 3G mobile connection was a lifesaver, but the
connection was just not good enough for managing remote deployments. It took
just over a week for BT to setup a broadband connection, which is superb
compared to some quotes I got, but trying to work for a week without a dedicated
high speed connection was like treading water in quicksand.
One thing that did not help was, upgrading my Infragistics NetAdvantage
controls to the latest service release. This has always been a simple process
before, however for some reason this patch changed the names of some of the
control properties. Border-Width became BorderWidth, this caused a frantic day
changing nearly every form in a project; just before having to release to UAT. I
have never come across a patch that fundamentally changed the documented
interface before.
