From Carlos Loth’s blog: Brazilian’s postal service publishes a web service to allow queries from Microsoft Office 2003.
It works like magic on Word.
I tried a quick and dirty approach to make it work from within a .NET application without success, but soon someone will figure out how to do it.
In my opinion, the postal service should open the zip code database since it’s a government owned company. For that reason it should publish the database as a web service instead of charging us for a CD-ROM subscription.

I have been interested in computers since I got my hands on a magazine about digital electronics back in 1983 and programming them has been paying the bills since 1991.
Having focused on Microsoft-centric technology stacks for the best part of two decades, in recent years I’ve been educating myself on open source technologies such as Linux, networking and the open web platform.
ASP.NET validation internals
The article is somewhat old, but it still deserves a visit from whom, like me is studying for 70-305 or 70-315:

70–306 Developing and Implementing Windows®-based Applications with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
-
70–316 Developing and Implementing Windows-based Applications with Microsoft Visual C#; .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
-
70–320 Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework
It took me about six months of study, but the exam was much easier than I thought it would be.
Now I only have to try the ASP.NET (70-315) exam to achieve MCAD. Unfortunately MCAD is going deprecated soon.
New article on Fórum Access magazine
Issue 68 of Fórum Access magazine just got published with another article written by me: “DataView with Microsoft Access-like search features”.
On the article I extend the DataView’s search features so they look somewhat like the features exposed by Microsoft Access’ Find dialog.
Unfortunately the magazine is not sold in newsstands. It’s only available for subscribers.
