Today I have a quick update for Kentico developers out there on my KenticoCacheDoctor project. In case you are not famliar with it, KenticoCacheDoctor is my mini open source project for working with Kentico 12.0 and Caching. I'm happy to announce that version 2.0 has been released as an updated NuGet package. A HUGE thank you goes out to Sean G. Wright for his contribution to the project, as...

This post applies to using Kentico CMS 5.5+ and Visual Studio 2010. It may seem a bit basic to some veteran Kentico developers, but I had to show a few co-workers the ins and outs of setting up a solution the right way. Once they had it, they were able to debug through a local project that contained both the core Kentico code and the extra sample code for creating a custom event handler. You...
