The UserInfo object is used to access the security objects within the Kentico API. As an example lets create a user programmatically using an ASPX page.

How often do you open the Kentico CMS Web project in a day? Its a bit time consuming having to open Visual Studio and find the project. If you open a couple of other projects then it falls of the recent project lists which costs even more time. In this blog post we will look at a way you can use pinning within Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 to make opening the Kentico CMS project easier.

I really like the use of Regions within my code. They are a great way to organize and collapse section of code. Working with a large project like Kentico its a great way to organize and collapse code. Within Visual 2010, I found a new feature called ad-hoc regions that has been a big help to me. In this blog post we will cover how to use this feature within your code.

Windows Vista introduced a new UI feature called Windows Gadgets. Fundamentally, a Gadget is a small, lightweight application that runs in a special pane called the Sidebar or directly on a users desktop. In this series of blog posts we will build a widget that connects with Kentico data. In this part of the series we will introduce gadget development and build a very simple gadget. Well start by creating a barebones gadget that we can use as a template for other gadgets we will build over the series of articles.

Like any real world project the Kentico CMS project is a big, often contains multi-projects, lots of files, and classes. Many times when working within the project I need find definitions quickly without searching. In this blog post we will look at using F12 to quickly find the definition.

Many times when coding I need to quickly find text within the current document. I ran across a feature in Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 called incremental search that solve this. In this blog post we will look at how we can use incremental search.

Combing a custom document, workflow and Twitter provides a powerful set of features that can be used within a Kentico site. This combination allows for the creation of a custom solution that allows you to use Kentico directly as your Twitter posting engine and provide content administrators the ability to control and workflow enable twitter posts. In this post I will create a custom document that is placed under workflow and then extend the global event handler to post a tweet once the document is approved.

Like most people once I finish a blog post, the next step is to send out a tweet. Seemed like a lot of work and something that should be automated. In this post I will show how you can automate the process of sending a tweet whenever a new blog post is added. Next, I am planning on cleaning the code up a bit and wrapping it within a module. If youre interested in helping with the sample let me know. I am thinking if we get enough people interested we can create a CodePlex project.

Ever have a block of code that you need to make a changes to? It gets a bit tiring changing each line with the keyboard. I ran across a cool feature of Visual Studio 2010 that helps to solve this.
