Radek has written a nice tool using which you can add a custom button to your Coldfusion administrator which will let you choose a running Sql Server instance while adding a Sql Server datasource. Pretty slick I must say.
After doing my first example with CF8 and .NET, I got a little excited and wanted to do more with it. I am not really a .NET guy and have very little know-how of how it works. However, I have been trying to do something rather useful with it and I thought it might be […]
We all know Coldfusion8 has some aded functionality for .NET integration. What that basically means is, Coldfusion can now interact with .NET assemblies simply by creating an object. We could always consume .NET webservices in Coldfusion in earlier versions but that had some datatype compatibility problems. In Coldfusion 8, it allows us to access native […]

This code makes use of the FileSystemObject and displays some useful information. I did a little search and its still […]
As a result of feedback from one of my previous posts , I have made a few changes based on the feedback and the site is now live. This site is basically about giving a new face to the Coldfusion documentation, valid upto the latest version. Website : www.coldfusiondocs.com Documentation : www.coldfusiondocs.com/app/
I’ve got a scheduled task running that generates a file and sends the file over to a FTP server every day. I have been expereincing some very inconsistent behaviour with the way this works. Almost 50% of the time, the FTP connections gets opened and then when it tries to upload the file, it fails. […]
I have been spending some time lately on this idea of mine and I would like to get some initial feedback on this. Its to do with the CF documentation that is available to developers. As a developer, I always have to search for CF tags or functions and there is no easy way to […]
Here is what I did with the new CF8 image functions. This is actually drawn to the canvas and not just some text. Here is the code :-
