AboutMyDot.Net

This month i started a new software, it’s a SEO Analisys Tool, and i needed to threat multithreading and background operations handling. Giving a look inside the .Net Framework i found a very interesting class, the BackgroundWorker class. First of all i have to tell you where it’s placed, in most articles on the web they forget to tell the reader where he can find it. It’s placed into the System.ComponentModel namespace.
The BackgroundWorker class is a really simple to use class, it gives you the opportunity to handle multitasking in a very easy way.

Basic informations about the class

The BackgroundWorker class exposes just few events to control the status of the process an to notify what’s going on.

1. DoWork (in this you’ll write all the code to execute)
2. ProgressChanged (raised when the thread execution process changes)
3. RunWorkerCompleted (when the thread job is finished)

All that you have to know is

1. On the top of your code page include the System.ComponentModel namespace (imports System.ComponentModel)
2. In the DoWork event write your code loop and remember to throw the ProgressChanged event if you need to handle it (RaiseEvent ProgressChanged(me)
3. Handle the process cancellation in the DoWork loop checking for CancellationPending flag (if bgWork.CancellationPending then e.cancel)
4. if you need the thread cancellation support you have to add a line of code to the New sub (bgWork.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true)

I know it seems too easy to be true but it’s really so…

Here you can find a sample piece of code to get download progress in vb.net

The Seo World Championship is over!!!
I ranked in the TOP 10 sites, it’s a great result. I’m 8th in the world and 1st in Italy, it’s the best I could ever wish. It has been really hard to compete with skilled SEOs and i had to learn almost everything about SEO techniques and search engine theories.

Here is the latest scoreboard for May 1st (the ending date was April 30)

 

The two deleted sites are hosted on Blogspot which can’t compete to the contest because already indexed in search engine and registered before the start date.

Well done! Meet you next year maybe

The SEO World Championship 2007 si almost finished, few hours and we’ll know who is the winner.
For more info visit the official site of the contest http://www.seoworldchampionship.com

My website is well ranked, i hope to stay there until the end of the contest

Globalwarming Awareness2007

Anyway it’s a great result for me, my site is the first positioned in Italy and 8th in the world, not bad

I opened a new section on AboutMyDot.Net, the Free Wordpress Themes section. You’ll be wondering why a .Net related blog will open a Wordpress Themes section :), the reason is that Wordpress is a wonderful blog platform and i had the need to learn CSS Design so why don’t make Wordpress Themes while learning and share it with other users? I hope you like my themes and i hope to make better ones in the future. You can find my Wordpress Themes here

After about 3 months Google is updating sites Page Rank.
It’s not final yet, it’s working right now, but you can see the first results on various datacenters.
I’m sure about it because, competing for the SEO World Championship with a brand new domain, so a PR0, i noticed that on some datacenters it shows a  PageRank 4. I wished something more, considering my 14.000 incoming one way links but it’s good anyway. If you want to check your sites PageRank variations go to http://livepr.raketforskning.com

The seo world championship is finishing, last 10 days and it’s over. Globalwarming Awareness2007 was the choosen keyword and everyone had to rank on top of search engines for this keyword. It has been an hard figth and in few days there were about 2.000.000 of pages on the web. I decided to partecipate and i got my brand new domain http://www.globalwarming-awareness2007.na.it but i did my first mistake. The .na.it domains are local domain extensions, NA stays for Naples, the town where i live in Italy. I noticed that search engines give more importance to the .COM domain. My globalwarming awareness2007 contest started hard from the beginning. To ensure about that i bought a new domain, a .COM to see if it was helped by its extension and i have to say that it has been easier to position it. Finally i decided to compete with the .NA.IT domain because i did a lot of work on that site so i had no choice, continue with it trying to let know the search engines it talked about global contents and not Italian. I got it, actually my rank position in the leaderboard is 14 and I am the first italian competitor. It’s incredible, i didn’t believe i could stay in the top 100. Actually my globalwarming awareness2007 site is going up and down of about 5 positions, sometimes it’s 14, other times 20, i think that in these last days everyone is doing his best so i don’t need to loose my mind about that, it’s not my fault but other people good job. My globalwarming awareness2007 site could be the 1st italian site and it could be a really good result for me, an unbelievable result but who can know… 10 days are enough to loose a lot of positions.

Wordpress Theme built for my personal website. I used the TypoXP theme and modified it to make it look nicer.
