Change History for Bob Sterrett's WEB site

Here's what's been added and changed.

09/10/2003 Windows Form in a WEB page Windows Client Library
Super intranet methodology!  Fully functional, light-weight client updateable over the web.
  IE 6.0 required on a Windows 2000+ box!
 .NET 1.1 must be installed, Trust configured.
08/31/2003 Updated Family Tree page Check it out!
This hadn't been updated since 2001!  The number of folks involved had increased. Only the closest relationship is now reported, reducing the output.
05/10/2002 Upgraded BIZTALK to the 2002 release  The latest production version of the Microsoft's B2B and application integration engine, BIZTALK server.  Still using MSMQ2.
05/29/2001 Generate Time Sheets in PDF format.  Make this onerous job a little less painful!
  04/10/2001 Added a place to put some comments about the web site and the technology.  Random bits about things that seemed weird or important at the time.
04/01/2001 Straw Poll Capability  Easily add polls to a web site.
03/11/2001 RDS is Back! Remote Data Services 2.0
I had RDS 1.0 working and then RDS 1.5 briefly on NT4. Windows 2000 changed many things.  Here, finally, is an example using the default datafactory.
This example also uses databinding to display the editable results.
  IE 5.0 required!
03/10/2001 They're Back! ActiveX Documents.
These were recompiled.  They seem to break with each new browser/OS version. ActiveX documents run as programs within the browser. 
The second of these was updated to fetch the newly available data over http/https and works with proxies in the same way the ActiveX Control below does.
03/07/2001 ActiveX Tree View Kinship ActiveX in a WEB Page
This was updated to handle the newly available data.  Since the number of cousins increased considerably, internal modifications were necessary.  The point of this early example (first created in 1997--pre-RDS and pre-SOAP) was to show an ActiveX component that communicated with the back end solely over HTTP.  Firewalls be damned!
  02/07/2001 Talk back to Clients!  You know they are cursing you -- Windows IE Required!
Text-to-Speech Synthesis using Microsoft Agent.
  02/01/2001 SQL 2000 Shaped Cursor  Create Hierarchical Recordsets.
  01/15/2001 XML Page  XML topics and samples.
  12/20/2000 Dynamic PDF Generation  Generate Reports on-demand in PDF Format.
  12/20/2000 Dynamic RTF Generation (sample)  Generate Reports on-demand in RTF Format.
  08/17/2000 MSMQ Test Page  Test MSMQ 2.0 usage from a Web page. This is server-side code.
02/05/2000 New Server (Windows 2000 Advanced Server), New DSL Connection
  10/30/1999 Active-X Stuff  Web buttons, Kinship in a web page using the tree control. Signed OCX's.
