CodeCampSA

Adelaide will be hosting its very own CodeCamp on the weekend of July 7-8th, at the City-West campus of the University of South Australia (in the Hans Heysen Building).

Published information is a bit scarce at the moment - there's a small mention on the ADNUG site (a spell checker would be good!) and also in the ACS events register.

Hopefully we'll see a programme and list of speakers shortly.

Create reusable Project and Item Templates for Visual Studio 2005

Searching for information about how to create some custom project and solution templates for Visual Studio, I came across this article - Visual Studio 2005: Create Reusable Project And Item Templates For Your Development Team – MSDN Magazine, January 2006.

I'd presumed that I'd need to make use of the Visual Studio SDK to do this, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that half the work is already built in to Visual Studio itself!

I'd apparently overlooked the "Export Template.." item in the File menu, but this can create a template for a Project Item (eg. a custom file) or a Project as a whole.

I then started reading the Visual Studio Templates section of the MSDN Library to see how you can create multi-project templates which I think should allow me to package up a whole solution as a template with multiple projects.

PennyTel supports Caller ID (CLI)

PennyTel (who I use for calling mobile phones) have enabled outgoing CLI for both their timed and untimed services.

That means that when we call mobile numbers, they'll see our home phone number instead of 'Private'.

Now just to convince FreeCall to do the same.
