Imported posts not appearing in BlogEngine.NET

 If you've used the BlogEngine.NET import tool and your post are not showing you could try the following:

Importing posts from Blogger into BlogEngine.NET

18 February 2009 (2)

Just managed to successfully get my posts from Blogger into DCT.

Read a post suggesting using a new temp WordPress blog which can import directly from Blogger. Then export, then use the Import tool in the Settings page of BlogEngine.Net (which launches a ClickOnce app). Although in retrospect I wonder if just pointing the Importer to the Blogger RSS feed might have made the WordPress step unnecessary.

 There is a caveat in that comments are not imported - also did not attempt images\files import.

To XSLT a large file (.NET1.1)

To XSLT a large file use XPathDocument rather than XmlDocument, e.g. Slower: Me.m_oldStream.Position = 0Dim xsl As New Xml.Xsl.XslTransformxsl.Load(Me.m_xsltFilePath)Dim xDoc As New Xml.XmlDocumentxDoc.Load(Me.m_oldStream)xsl.Transform(xDoc, Nothing, Me.m_newStream, Nothing)Me.m_newStream.Flush() Faster: Me.m_oldStream.Position = 0Dim xslt As XslTransform = New XslTransformxslt.Load(Me.m_xsltFilePath)Dim doc As XPathDocument = New XPathDocument(Me.m_oldStream)xslt.Transform(doc, Nothing, Me.m_newStream, Nothing)Me.m_newStream.Flush() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/ScaleNetChapt09.asp claims 20-30% faster processing.In one extreme example of a project I have worked on, [...]
