ok... first, I'm tired of the really long version numbers... I ran into an issue where I kept getting a null reference exception when I would try to get a new WinBlogX project (basically the link from the WinForms front end to a server). After some debugging I determined that if you have a WebMethod that returns an XmlSerializable object that has an Namespace="" in the attribute, the serializer crashes. Odd. I'll have to report this tomorrow.

Anyway, the work around was kinda nasty, but in the end it worked. Basically I return an XmlNode instead of the strongly typed RssRoot type. Everything works.

In addition, I updated the ASP.NET front end to use forms authentication. IBuySpy was the quick and dirty path to authentication magic. Wahoo!

Binaries and sources.
