Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plug-In

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plug-In

"A plug-in for creating deployment projects in Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET 2003 that contain the .NET Framework version 1.1 and/or Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.7.


Overview

The Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plug-In allows you to easily create an installer that redistributes the .NET Framework 1.1 and/or MDAC 2.7 with your application.

In order for a .NET Framework application to run on a given computer, it must have the .NET Framework installed. Any .NET Framework application that uses ADO.NET to connect to databases requires MDAC 2.7. Many computers already have these components installed; however, to ensure an application will run, these components should be redistributed with your application.

The Visual Studio .NET 2003 Bootstrapper integrates with Visual Studio .NET setup and deployment projects. With it you can create a single installer that automatically detects whether those prerequisites are on the target computer and installs them if needed. If any of the components requires the computer to restart, the installer will automatically resume afterward. Users of the application only need to run a single setup program to install the prerequisites and the application.

To learn more about the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Bootstrapper, review the Visual Studio .NET 2003 article in the .NET Framework 1.1 Deployment Guide. "

Wordpress/Blogsome plugin for Omea Reader 2. Installation Guide

In two previous post here and here I wrote about my plugin for wordpress. Now here is the installation guide for this plugin, and i compiled the previously provided source code to an assembly, which you can download from here:
Installation:
  1. Extract the assembly somewhere on your harddisk, I suggest "Program Files\JetBrains\Omea Reader\Plugins". Plugins folder should be created, but you can extract the plugin anywhere you would like! 
  2. Start Omea Reader, navigate to Tools\Options\Omea\Plugins, then Add the plugin dll to the list from the location where you extracted the file, then restart Omea Reader.
  3. Select the text which you would like to send to wordpress as content of your post. The subject is copied automatically.
  4. If you are reading a feed, and you press right mouse button in the preview or in the feed list the "Blog this in Wordpress" menu item will appear at the bottom of the context menu.
  5. First time, you have to enter the url of your blog, for example: YOURACCOUNTNAME.blogsome.com. In the moment, you are not able to edit this again, so be carefull. :)
  6. A browser window will be opened, where you can edit your post, before sending. If you are not logged in, your username/password will be asked first.

Don’t hesitate to send me your remarks!
