After some months working, finding and fixing bugs in the earlier version of ASP Xtreme Evolution, I’m proud to release the version 1.0.1.0. This is a very stable version. It comes with snippets to increase the productiveness and has some minor changes to help you to organize the code. I suggest those using the v.1.0.0.0 to upgrade as soon as possible. If you can’t upgrade, check the CHANGES in the Read More to fix your old version against the critical issues.

While I’m working with Classic ASP I always miss a lot of features that other languages provide. Sometimes it even happens between the Visual Basic and ASP, like the Mid statement, optional keyword and StrConv function. This Class provides some methods I miss more and also gives me the possibility to work with strings in a OO(Object Oriented) way. The main goal of this Object is to enable placeholders and replacements for human readable strings. Other methods are merely natural derivations from the process of work with Strings.

One week ago Digitarald released the version 2.0 beta 4 of his very good FancyUpload component. Unfortunately I’ve noticed that many ASP and ASP.NET users were falling in trouble to implement it.

I’ve created a SVN for ASP Xtreme Evolution at DevjaVu so, everyone interested in this project can now use a subversion client like Tortoise to checkout the lastest version of the project. Users can also post new tickets and give suggestions through the trac. I hope that this initiative make a more Open Source face to ASP Xtreme Evolution Framework and make it ready for other developers to join the work.

There are times in the life when you realise that the world has really changed and the things that was once so important to you doesn’t matter anymore. This is the case of my old dithered-extended quirksmode javascript library. It cost me years to enhance and extend but nothing more makes sense in a better standardized world.

After reading http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms972323.aspx and Why String Operations are so Slow, possessed by a deep feeling of duty, I’ve wrote a class that would help developers to handle their string concatenation processes in a smart way.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
