When posting future posts using Windows Live Writer (WLW) the time was being changed from what I was expecting. My expected behavior is that specifying a date and time should be the same in both the BlogEngine.NET web interface and WLW. In other words, if I create a post to be published tomorrow at 1:15 PM in both interfaces, both posts should have the same posted date/time. This was not the case.
During testing, I found that I couldn't delete items using WLW. I would get an exception saying I'm "not authorized to delete the object." As both updates are in the same class, I decided to write them both in this post.

I wanted to use Windows Live Writer to create my posts. Before going live, I decided to test out WLW with a few posts. During the tests I noticed that code was being shown with multiple lines, but only one line number. After looking at the XML posts and code, I noticed that the source code formatter expects each line to be separated by a line feed and that WLW separates lines by a <br/> with no line feed. So my simple solution was to modify the code sections before they get formatted to insure that there is a line feed after each <br/>.

In testing out BlogEngine.NET, I found an issue with the source code formatter when alternate line highlighting is enabled. When the alternate line highligting option was on, the code would show the first line in the code block with code formatting, but all subsequent lines appeared outside of the code block without code formatting. In the following original code, you see that line 41 opens a div tag for an even line, and line 37 opens a p tag for an odd line. Unfortunately, as you can see on line 54, the code closes both tags as a div. This invalid syntax is what breaks the formatting.

Next week I'm attending VSLive! 2008 in Las Vegas at the Mirage. I attended last year's conference at the Rio All Suites Hotel & Casino and thought it was excellent. I am looking forward to another excellent conference this year. I'll be attending the pre and post conference workshops as well, as I found them tremendously valuable last year. I will be taking a couple junior programmers along with me this year. In addition to my team, there will be three more from other teams within my organization attending.
