Dynamic ASP.NET 2.0 Loading in Rainbow

There has been a lot of talk and discussion on whether to keep this module. The talk is over and its in. This module turns out to be beautiful 2.0 since 2.0 is heavily declaritive. I have tested copying and pasting pure ASP.NET 2.0 syntax and my test have worked. Oh well there was that one time I forgot to add the "runat=server" so remember to do that. Below are some screen shots: Read More...

Rainbow 2.0 Wiki now up.

Rainbow 2.0 Alpha documentation has mostly resources for developers as we are adding dev info first and then user info. However, a ton of Rainbow user information is on the Wiki and we are in the process of reorganizing it. The search works very well and with the link issue fixed, confluence has been running like a charm. This allows for any user to use the documentation system. Read More...

Flawless Upgrade[Rainbow 1.6 to Rainbow 2.0]

I just performed a test on our testbed to upgrade our client www.beerpong.tv. I had no issues at all going from a 1.1 rainbow site to a 2.0 site. Rainbow simply went to setup first and asked for an upgrade [ I think because I went from a SQL Sever 2000 db into a SQL Server 2005 restore] and completed with 0 errors. Read More...

Rainbow 2.0 Work

I first became a developer of Rainbow about 2 years ago on a suggestion from Rahul. I then was assigned my first project of the blog module by Minond. I actually have several updates to it but didnt like where the project was headed and saw massive fall outs. I saw an awesome portal with no stable dev force. I continued to push rainbow on many public sectors including US Customs, Independence Air, and Stratix Corp [ not to mention others who would not even consider rainbow because of it being open source].
