I'm pleased to report that Legion has taken out the Best C# Article award for December 2007. Hurray!

Today’s release of my latest article, URL Object Serialization: An effortless approach to user account confirmation, marks a break from my usual WPF/Silverlight slant. For some time I have been meaning to write up my experiences with creating a fire and forget user account confirmation system. The nice thing about this approach is that very little housekeeping needs to take place, as workflow information can be encapsulated in an object instance, sent to the client, and then reinstated later.  

Some Clog users have asked me to set up Clog as a ‘proper’ open source project. I am pleased to announce that the Clog project is now hosted on CodePlex.
