This tutorial should be helpful to our clients wishing to access project intranets we've established in the ExhibitA.com domain using Google Sites. The challenge comes when you try and log into a Google Site (GS) that is part of a Google Apps domain (GA), it isn't immediately obvious how to log in if email address you are using is part of a different GA domain or is a standard Google Account (like for Gmail or Google Analytics, Checkout, etc).
While the graphics and the discussion will be specfic to logging into a GS on ExhibitA.com, it can be applied to any GS hosted on a GA domain. [More]

More on using Google Spreadsheets as a database for sites that don't have their own db. This example uses forms to collect the data and server-side scripting in PHP to collect and manipulate the form data before using curl to POST the data to the Google Spreadsheet form. [More]

While doing some updates to the EmmCLA program (more to come on this soon), I needed to have it loop through all the AppSettings in in App.Config file (the same should hold true for Web.Config for web apps) to find all occurrences of appsettings that were similar to a certain string. A few Google searches later led me to the solution of using System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.AllKeys which returns a string array of all the keys in the AppSettings portion of App.Config: // Loop through all AppSetting keys to find those // matching DBConn-xxxxstring[] AppSettings = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.AllKeys;foreach (string s in AppSettings){if (s.ToLower().Contains("dbconn-")){ // Do Something Here }}I’ve posted this in case anyone else finds a need to do something similar. This saved me a great deal of work and hopefully someone else will similarly benefit. If you find this of some benefit, please leave us a comment below and let us know how you are using it.
