BugNET

I would like to wish everyone and their family all of the best over the holiday season!

In the past year, the BugNET project has reached a number of milestones.  The first being the creation of this website that is now the active hub for the community and development of the issue tracker.  I would like to thank those who have registered and actively participate in the forums whether be it feature requests or bug reports.

The new release of 0.7 Beta 1 is also another great milestone for the project with the final release coming early in the new year.  This release brings the issue tracker into the .NET 2.0 environment and opens the doors for many new features and improved functionality.

Thank you everyone for your continued support and I look forward to improving the issue tracker in the new year.

In a forum post not to long ago sabrina_c suggested using the web.sitemap provider as a replacement to the "back" button and "return to menu" buttons that I had implemented in the 0.7 beta.  I had heard about the new web.sitemap features in .NET 2.0 but till now haven't fully explored these features till now.  I started out constructing a web.sitemap for BugNET and it works great to create a breadcrumb style navigation.  The one problem I ran into was the web.sitemap is static when it comes to querystring properties (unless you hardcode them) which makes it unusable for many of the dynamic pages in the issue tracker.   Searching around I found a few links on how to "customize" the rendering of the sitemap at runtime.    The MSDN article that I followed can be found here which simulates a message board forum situation where you might want to render what forum group and post you are on in the breadcrumb, much like BugNET where you are on a particular "issue"....

A gallery module has been added to the site and new screenshots of version 0.7 Beta 1 have been added.

Screenshots for the Road Map and My Issues pages showcase some of the new features in the 0.7 version.

You can find the new images on the screenshots page.
