Peter DeBetta's blog about programming in SQL Server 2008, 2005, etc. using technologies such as T-SQL, .NET, CLR, C#, VB, Visual Studio, and SQL Server Management Studio.
Bloggers at SQLblog.com were occasionally having issues posting. We had narrowed down the cause to the use of bracketed identifiers with certain text, such as [name] or [date], so that when a post contained a query such as this:
SELECT Description as [name],
, OrderDate as [date]
FROM SomeTable
Attempting to publish it to the blog would simply cause an unhandled exception. The problem has to do with the Community Server TextPart component, which uses bracketed identifiers to replace snippets and for certain post settings when posting. I found a work around, however, which involves making a change to the ScottWater.CS.Modules source code and redeploying. Here is the code change, found in ScottWater.CS.Modules.MetaBlogExtender class, csa_PreProcessPost method:
...
foreach(TextPart tp in e.TextParts)
{
string name = tp.Name.ToLower();
/* Start of added code */
try
{
String testValue = tp.Value;
}
catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
{
break;
}
/* End of added code */
switch (name)
{
...
