Right now when I miss an error in my Application there isn’t any way for me to be notified that an uncaught exception has occurred. (PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong on that… like some low level undocumented super hack?)
I know this got shelved way back when but I wanted to start a post to maybe get this feature implemented for Flex 3.
I know Ely has said that this would be extremely hard to do anywhere but inside the flashplayer itself but I wanted to let the Adobe folks know that this is one of those REALLY nice to haves. If I don’t want to wrap “every” piece of code in a try catch I still want to be able to log/handle that exception some where.. some how.

I’ve been talking about creating some type of flex search for a year and a half and when I saw a few weeks ago that Google came out with Custom Search Engines (CSE’s) I wondered if I could use it for a customized Flex search. The answer is found at:
http://flexsearch.org Feedback appreciated.
The search isn’t quite the way I want it yet but I wanted to release it and find out what the community thinks before I make any more changes to it. It show’s what’s possible right now and the navigation is based on the default CSE behaviors. (Which I’m sure I’m going to have to modify in order for it to fit a developers workflow better.)
I also plan on using Ted Patrick’s flex search API and doing an xslt on the xml (when he releases an xml api, come on Ted? 
) so that I can spin some html and get google to index it.

For my future ref… because I have to hunt for this everytime…
It’s located in the .metadata folder when Flexbuilder throws an error. Full path is ${WorkspaceDir}/.metadata/.log

Been using it for a few days… seems to work ok. Not as good as tortise but when I delete file through VS 2k5 it doesn’t mess up my subversion folders… which is nice.
Can get it here. <Link>

I’ve always wished that MS would have left the web app project in vs 2005. Found this while searching for a way to integrate MSBuild with VS 2005. More info is available HERE.
Basically you go
HERE and install the prerequiste. Then you go HERE and click the “Download Now” link and install that.
Then start VS 2005 and when you go to create a new project… “Web Applicaton Project” will be a new choice.
I also found a tutorial on how to migrate an existing VS 2005 Website to a Web Application Project <Link>

This has always been a pain for me to find online whenever I’m using the builtin Win 2k3 firewall and the builtin FTP server for IIS6. Almost every FTP client needs to run behind a firewall and use pasv FTP to connect to a server. So I thought I would post something for I can find later.
Here is a batch file (pasv.bat.txt) to do the work:
Echo OFF
ECHO ADDING PORT RANGE TO IIS
C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set /MSFTPSVC/PassivePortRange “5500-5550″
ECHO OPENING FIREWALL PORTS
FOR /L %%I IN (5500,1,5550) DO NETSH FIREWALL ADD PORTOPENING TCP %%I FTPPort%%I
iisreset
ECHO FINISHED
Pause

Found this the other day while trying to decide which port to run an FDS app on. Very interesting post by Douglas McCarroll on configuring FDS Ports.
