It’s the last day of my week to get this turned into a product, but instead of my hour I have my whole evening.

Doing something a bit different today. I’m going to write up my train of thought as it happens. Don’t feel guilty if you don’t read, because looking at Google Analytics no one else is reading either. ;-) Everyone comes here for my article on C# and SQL table-valued parameters a very popular article.

I started off working on my original UI idea from a couple days ago. I really liked the idea, but as I looked into how to make it work I realized I’m not yet sure how to make this go forward. And that this likely would stop me from progressing today. So I scrapped that idea when I realized I can make use of what I have now but will at a later point need to redo the z-index order of my sliding panels. Which is fine since this get’s me a functional program I can use and get others to use sooner.

Now I’m setting up my third pane as the primary article view (previously settings, but from advice from a friend moving settings to another area which makes more sense).

… 5 minutes later …

Dealing with an oddity where the right most view has a shadow from the center pane. I know what started it just cannot see why.

… 30 seconds later …

Typical, figured it out. Wrong base class for the view.

Looking into UIWebView. First time messing around with this. My need is super basic at first so it’s pretty easy to setup and now I just need to pass an entity over from my center panel…

… 10 minutes later …

Things are wired up by my UIWebView is being stubborn and staying blank. According to this I just need to return yes from one of the delegate methods. No dice yet.

…15 minutes later …

Still no dice and now it’s time for dinner with my lovely wife. Back later.

… 2 hours later …

Back to figuring out what’s up with my UIWebView, it is literally the last piece before I have something usable!

… 9 minutes later …

Curiouser and curiouser. So I have the UIWebView loading in viewDidLoad, but it won’t do anything from where I’m calling it in another method.

… moments later …

Ran the code again that I had before and  it’s working. Love it when this type of stuff happens.

… 8 minutes later …

Laides and gentleman I have something usable. My projects first major milestone.
