Hi Ryan, I have googled health sharing options, and the only ones appear to be Christian. However, that stipulation precludes me. I was hoping someone knew about a secular health share that I cannot find.

Hi Marc, This is in the Texas marketplace, bronze level for me+wife+child is $1050, up from $620.

Hi All, My US health insurance has increased to an unaffordable level. As an independent developer, have any of you found better options than either paying the high premium or taking the uninsured risk? I know this isn't a new problem for independents, so it's really not helpful to tell me to move to a universal healthcare country or take an employee job that provides insurance.

We have 900,000 veterans with claims in the VA. It's clear the government either cannot or will not solve this, but it needs to be solved. I wonder one thing: is there a way to crowdsource the solution? There are some brilliant developers and data analysts on this board. While I don't count myself among these luminaries, I feel that we could solve this.

Cheers, Daaron

I was laid off last week from a great job and I'm taking a contract to fill in until I can find permanent work. In the meantime, I need to find affordable health insurance. COBRA is $1000/month to get a $2500/person deductible and 0% coinsurance. I'd love to find something for less per month for $5000/person deductible for 0% coninsurance. Does anyone have suggestions of companies they use, or cautionary tales of companies not to use? I'm located in Texas, so I know mileage may vary.

I liked http://www.glyfz.com/[^]. I was spending my personal money, so I had to find something inexpensive. I bought 2 of the packs for $50 back then, but now he's selling 6 for $94 (>700 icons in 3 sizes).

Use the Gaia toolkit (http://ajaxwidgets.com[^]) instead. It will give you everything you need on the codebehind.

Maybe now Jamie at TestDriven.net will get his MVP back for making it work. If you don't already know the story: http://weblogs.asp.net/nunitaddin/archive/2007/05/30/microsoft-vs-testdriven-net-express.aspx[^]

Our PLC people don't use any source control, but I want to move them to it. Their problem is that one of the 50 of them create an AutoCAD object that the others need in another project. Right now, they use FolderShare.com and simply place the new file into a specific directory that gets copied around to everyone else very quickly. What I am looking for is TFS or Subversion to do source control. While the file is newly created checked out, I don't want it to be overwritten by a synchronizer. Once a file has been added or checked in, the file would be synchronized with everyone automatically. Is there something that does this already? I've found dozens of file sync applications, but none that seem to be integrated with TFS or Subversion. If I don't find one, I'll have to build it myself.

Cheers, Daaron

Heresy. I believe in the power of source control, and I recommend smiting the admin not backing up the repository offsite. There are dozens of reasons to use source control from disaster recovery to blaming the right coder. Because there are so many free, solid, and integrated version control systems, there is no excuse for not using them.

I have an *extremely* basic question. Much of the code below has been lifted from Scott Hilier's book on MOSS. I have also asked him this question with no response as yet. When I click on a button in a sharepoint web part, I think it should run the method I associate: protected override void CreateChildControls() { m_button = new Button(); m_button.Text = "Push Me!"; m_button.Click += new EventHandler(m_button_Click); Controls.Add(m_button); } protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer) { m_button.RenderControl(writer); } void m_button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { m_report += "Button Click
"; } ...The problem is that "Button Click" is never reached. It does post back, but it does not reach my breakpoint and does not write the text. Ideas appreciated.

Because it's a beta, I'm lazy, and some other excuses I just can't come up with right now. I need a few people to give the beta a try before I call it ready for full version status. In the next few weeks, I'll be doing the last polish and that may include writing an article.

Cheers, Daaron

The third (and probably final) beta of the Test Recorder is now available: http://watintestrecord.sourceforge.net/[^] The Test Recorder generates code to run against the WatiN (Web Application Testing In .NET) library: http://watin.sourceforge.net/[^] Features in this version include: -VB.NET, C#, and PHP code generation -User-definable code page templates -User-definable code macros -Lots of bug fixes Test Recorder is open-source freeware written completely in C#.

Cheers, Daaron

Thanks for giving it a shot. There is an article on WatiN (http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/WatiN.asp[^]), but not on the generator (yet).

Cheers, Daaron

The freeware, open source web application testing in .NET framework (WatiN, http://watin.sourceforge.net/[^]) now has a full-feature code generator that is also freeware and open source. Download the first beta from http://watintestrecord.sourceforge.net/[^]. Features include:* Monitors clicks and keystrokes automatically

• Record multiple tests
• Supports a majority of methods implemented in WatiN
• Assertion support for NUnit, MbUnit, and VS2005 Test
• Compile into executable or NUnit/MbUnit/VS2005-based class library
• View HTML DOM tree structure, highlighting selected elements
• View WatiN Elements, highlighting selected elements
• View HTML Source
• Load and Save all tests as C# code
• Written in C#.NET 2.0

I am dynamically connecting to an unmanaged C++ COM interface using GetTypeFromProgID, but I must get a secondary IDispatch interface by calling the "GetBasicCallInfoIDisp" function of that interface. Using this secondary interface, I am trying to get a simple property. The JavaScript is very rudimentary: var winoperdoc = new ActiveXObject("WinOper.Document"); var winoper = winoperdoc.GetBasicCallInfoIDisp(); window.alert(winoper.SeizureID); The C# version I have looks like this: Type objWinOper = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WinOper.Document"); object objWinOperLateBound = objWinOper.InvokeMember("GetBasicCallInfoIDisp", BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, objWinOper, new object[]{}); int SeizureID = (int) objWinOper.InvokeMember("SeizureID", BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, objWinOperLateBound, new object[]{}); This compiles, but I get an "Unknown Name" when I try to get the value from a member property. Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Daaron

try this instead:suss:: VerifyDialog myDialog = new VerifyDialog; if (myDialog.Show()==DialogResult.Yes) { go ahead and do this. } Cheers, Daaron
