So I’ve seen a lot of questions around this issue with generally the only resolution being: “It’s a warning, just ignore this”. Whilst it is safe to do this, for pedants like me there is a true resolution. There are a few places around the net to get this but (like a lot of issues […]

You’re most probably here because you have already read my article How to watch your log through your application in Log4Net and you’re thinking “that’s great, but I need to somehow differentiate all of this output!” – either that or you just really need a handy way to format certain keywords within your RichTextBox.
You may (or may not) have read my recent article How to watch your log through your application in Log4Net which allows you to append Log4Net events direct in to a textbox – if so, you may then also have come across a frustration that I also had, which is that whenever the texbox is […]
Log4Net is an excellent logging system that allows you to clearly see what your application is doing and when, making it very easy to debug your app during development but especially during production. I have previously demonstrated how to use Log4Net in C# which enables you to log output to your console for the former […]
So, like me, you may have come across some incompatibility within your WebAPI client that means you can’t use .Net 4/4.5 (which is required to use HttpClient and HttpResponseMessage etc.) – or you’re writing a web service to fill in due to this incompatibility. This solution should allow you to access your API (using POST) […]
So you may or may not be aware that Visual Studio 2012 no longer has a built in project that will install your application for you – I can understand why this is, as it allows third parties to develop these and lets them focus on improving the programming experience, but I can also understand […]
ThinkTwit Update 1.3.10
Have just committed a very small update which corrects some issues introduced in a recent new feature (the follow button) and within the hotfix, and also made use of a change from XML to JSON. Specifically:
As I’ve recently had to implement the JSON implementation of the Twitter Search API v1.0 as a hotfix into ThinkTwit, I thought it might be useful to share how I did this… So if you’re here it’s probably because you need to read JSON in PHP or you have to implement an API, maybe the […]
So you may or may not have noticed ThinkTwit turning everything italic – either way you’ll be wanting to download this update. The long and short of it is that Twitter have changed their API and this version is 100% required if you want to keep using ThinkTwit – and no doubt every other Twitter plugin […]
Having had an issue with ThinkTwit turning half a user’s page italic (it was spewing em tags all over the place) and researching the issue I have found out that Twitter have recently changed their API to no longer support XML. Despite signs that this may be coming (as they had gradually removed XML support […]
