.NET Framework installation
Thursday, 31 July 2008 18:03

Some users reported issues with the .NET Framework installation. If you experience such trouble, process in the following order:

  • Try the manual installation of .NET Framework (see http://www.sobees.com/Install-Framework)
  • If the installation still fails, try to remove the existing .NET Framework pre-installed on your computer. Go into the Control Panel, Launch "Add/Remove Programs" ("Programs and Features" on Vista), and uninstall the .NET Framework. After uninstall, install .NET 3.5 according to point 1) above.
  • If the problem is still persisting, you can try the cleanup tool to remove the .NET Framework, see for instructions. The tool is available here. After clean-up, install .NET 3.5 according to point 1) above.

Once the .NET Framework is installed, visit http://download.sobees.com to install one of our products. For more information about .NET issues, check the Troubleshooting Guide .

Installation issues .NET framework
Wednesday, 20 February 2008 11:49

Some of you experienced issues while installing .NET framework. We are aware of the issue and Microsoft is also working on making the installation process easier and faster.
If you have the following Windows Update dialog box popping up during the installation process, select postpone and let the .NET installation finish prior to rebooting your computer.

Aaron Stebner describing the issue http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/11/13/6190778.aspx

Update: This issue has been solved with Vista SP1. We recommend to install Vista SP1 through Windows Update prior to installing sobees. sobees will still require .NET 3.5 but the install is much faster and does no longer require a computer restart.

RSS/Atom - How to get content:encoded with the new System.ServiceModel.Web assembly
Friday, 30 November 2007 15:03

I'm working on the RSS reader that will be used in sobees and I just want to share a little trick I made to get the <content:encoded> of RSS feed.

For people who are not familiar with this new assembly, I invite you to read MSDN documentation.

What's <content:encoded> ?
In some feeds, the "real" content of the news is neither in <content> tag nor in <description> (or <summary>), but in a <content:encoded> tag!

So, here's the trick :

And that's all! Simple... isn't it?

Hope it can help ;-).
