UPDATE Nov 10,2009:Convert your files online now @ onix-files.com We're live! yay!

I'm still in the process of building the online conversion process for onix-files.com, but it should be ready this weekend.

I've been getting quite a few requests for ONIX to CSV conversion (and a few the other way), I can run a quick conversion for you for $10 for a single file if you are in a hurry. Paypal will work, just email me: Convert ONIX to CSV. If you need another format, just ask.

Again, the self-serve system will be available by Monday October 26, but I'm willing to run a conversion for someone who needs it right away.

Simple framework C# files and console app to provide Database Synchonization with CVENT Contacts. Current implementation handles Microsoft Access or SQL Server. Customer must have Cvent API keys/logins for software to function. Email for more info

So.. you need to get data from the web - and your partner will only give you a "report" online. You fire up a simple HTTPWebRequest, and discover they are using a complicated ASP.NET front end to SQL Reporting Services. Yuck. How the heck do you manage that!

Well.. thats another piece of code I have on hand. Currently I'm testing and using with a client, but if you have similar aspirations of reporting - and need a way to automate extracting data from SRS - drop me a line: Here

Well.. I'm almost ready with completely downloadable/installable versions of my C# and PHP enabled onix components. I had a potential customer throw me for a loop with a file format I'd never parsed before - so I'm going to list the publishers/sources that I know I can handle very well (Eloquence for one), as well as have a form where you can submit your onix file, and try it out online (say, convert to a Excel or CSV or somesuch).

My Parsing is lightyears ahead of where it was, handling even the most atrocious XML. Yes, you heard me, no one in the publishing industry handles the XML for an ONIX file the same way. It's not their fault. Its just that XML is so darn easy to do wrong.

Additionally, I registered onix-files.com, to make it easy to find. I've had enough traffic related to this, that I believe there must be some real pain out there for developers trying to handle these files easily without having to build a parser from the ground up.

I am very excited. My goal is Nov 1st with full site and launch, but you can still contact me now about the components if you are interested. Email me.
