# Codename: Alexandria

Yes! Development has switched to full gear on my latest project. Codenamed Alexandria this project is a system to help companies with an in-house library to keep track of all materials in the library.

What I’m most excited about is that this is my first project where I use CSLA.Net. Already the CSLA.Net Framework is showing it’s metal, the security model I’m using fits like a glove into this framework. Rockford Lhotka has really done a smashing job.

Oh yeah…Why Alexandria?No, it’s not an long lost love…it’s named after the great Library of Alexandria. I thought it is a fitting name ![🙂](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1664178707884/iOgcoOB9B5.png)

Onto the 5 things I’ve learned this week:

1.  Setting up the [D-Link DI-624 Wireless Router](http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=6) is really easy, as a matter of fact, I’m typing this post via wireless access.
2.  Getting [MSN Messenger](http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-624/MSN_Messenger.htm) to work through this router.
3.  The fabFORCE DBDesigner is a really nice util, but I could not get it to work nicely on SQL Server 2005.
4.  LLBLGen uses the Netron graphics library, but you can get similar Graph/Diagram controls/libraries [here](http://research.microsoft.com/users/levnach/GLEEWebPage.htm) and [here](http://www.dalssoft.com/diagram/whatisnew.aspx).
5.  LLBLGen is still a bit expensive for a guy just starting out with his own thing, [MyGeneration](http://www.mygenerationsoftware.com/) is a nice FREE Code Gen/ORM Mapping tool.

Right…back to the greatest library system ever written ;o)
