Bug bashing the .NET Configuration Manager for the past week or-so has lead to interesting insights:

  • RouteCoder, who found a bug in the .net framework itself (the entry in LadyBug can be found here)
  • dfriedel, who had some insightful feature requests that make a .net sysadmin's day-to-day life easier.

In about two weeks I'll you know who earned him/herself the us$100, meanwhile I'll be spending my time in (what I hope to be) one of Europe’s most beautiful countries: Slovenia. Looking forward to hiking, kayaking and rafting through the Alps, as well as camping at one of the many uninhabited island's slightly to the south in Croatia (and laying in the 30C sun).

Afterwards I'll try to look into making a new release of CoMan, in which I’ll try to include the remainder of system.web's configuration schema and as much feedback as I can.

Later!

To gain better insight in issues people have when using the ".NET Configuration Manager" I decided to give away USD $ 100 to the person that reports the most/best issues in the Issue Tracker on the SystemWeb preview-release.

Don't worry, there's enough issues in there.... it is a preview release :).

...but why not send me the couple of issues you run into when evaluating the tool.

(This 'contest' ends by the 1st of Augustus.)

I've put out a preview release of my ".NET Configuration Manager" on its CodePlex site.

This gives you the possibility to manage system.web configuration in a similar way you already could with Enterpise Libraries "Configuration Console".

Cool screenshots can be found in my previous post, But why not visit the Installation page on CodePlex.


Unfortunately, some parts of web.config cannot be managed in the tool quite yet... :(.
These (and other issues) can be found in the Issue Tracker.
