I'm back home (to St. Louis, home of the world champion Cardinals!) from the Heartland Developers Conference in Omaha. The presentations that were most valuable to me were: "Power Programming with Attributes" - Dave Donaldson "Looking Ahead at C# 3.0" - Andrew Troelsen "Great Library of Common ASP.NET 2.0 Functions and Techniques" - Robert Boedigheimer "Reliable Applications with System.Transactions" - Robert Hurlbut I met Robert Hurlbut on the walk from the hotel to the convention center, and he ...
Kyle and I are heading up to Omaha tomorrow for HDC. I'm especially looking forward to LINQ by DonXML and ATLAS by Joe Stagner. Here is a list of all the sessions. Technorati tags: Heartland Developers Conference, Omaha, DonXML, Joe Stagner, Kyle Archer ...
Silver Key is known as a big fan of smart people, especially developers. You can realize it from our exams we do publish to the developer community, or from checking the geeks at the office working with the latest technologies, even if these are not in final releases. We use Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 to develop applications using .NET Framework 3.0, Iron Python, and ASP.NET 2.0 Ajax Extensions (formerly known as ATLAS), applying some important methodologies like design patterns for coding ...
A colleague asked me what blogs I read, and I thought it would be interesting to blog about that ;-) My main activities in programming in the moment are .NET, especially ASP.NET, and WPF. ASP.NET also includes a lot of JavaScript programming, which was always one of my favourite subjects anyway. About JavaScript, I don't read blogs, but I can recommend the newsgroup comp.lang.javascript. I learned most of my JavaScript there over the years, and though the tone is sometimes passionate over what may ...
source: http://weblogs.asp.net/scot... Scott posted two blog posts last weekend about using LINQ to easily perform data access against a database. Several people have asked me for more details on LINQ to SQL since then. Sahil Malik made some excellent posts earlier this summer that go into more detail about LINQ to SQL (aka DLINQ) and how it works. You can read his posts here: An Introduction to DLINQ Setting Up a DataContext Class ...
I’ve mostly stayed away from blogging about DLinq and other .NET 3.0 goodies, because I think they’re too far out in the future to be worth that much attention. However, I do think that Linq is worth keeping an eye on because I think it’s going to be one of the best parts of (insert .NET language here) 3.0. And to go along with DLinq, there are some massive changes coming to ADO.NET. I’ll follow up on these more when I feel the time is right, but for now, it’s worth ...
Billy McCafferty, another geek from GeeksWithBlogs, wrote about a project called “ASP.NET ActionPack”. The project is intended to leverage the same code-generation capabilities as Ruby-on-Rails, and does fairly the same job (creating Admin screens for Create/Update/Delete CRUD tasks), should end providing fair degree of classes customizations too. It's hosted on CodePlex by the way. I din't like Ruby On Rails since I saw some sceencast on it 2 month ago, and I have some comment on the ...
The Arizona .NET User Group is proud to presentLive, for one day onlyEric Sink and Scott Guthrie My friend Scott Cate and I have been busy organizing our biggest function of the year for the Arizona .NET user group.

As a developer always we want to have the opportunity to write the codes properly, along with programming language specific words and keyword to be highlighted in to different colors. Also VS.NET developers enjoys an IDE features named “Intellisense”, where while wring codes, a list of probable class or object name appears in a list and can be inserted to the code segment, just by selecting the appropriate item from the list. This becomes EXTREMELY useful, when we have to use long class ...
Blinq is a tool for generating ASP.NET websites for displaying, creating, and manipulating data based on database schema. Just point Blinq at a SQL database and it will create a website with pages that display sorted and paged data, allow you to update or delete records, create new records, and follow relationships between tables in your database. You don't need to write SQL queries to use Blinq; LINQ will generate optimized queries for you that request just the data you want to show. Blinq uses ...
It was very bad 230+ years ago in North America. Compare the bulleted list to the news of today and see if our world really compares. Personally, I like the sentence below, in red, that after listing his errors, calls the King of England a Tyrant. IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among ...
So I'm signed up to receive ".NET Insight", the newsletter from the guys over at FTPOnline, and I get a recent one with “Generate Data-Based Web Sites With Blinq” as a news title. My first thought is “greeeat... another blahLINQ technology to add to all the xLINQ confusion....”. Hesitantly, I click the link and begin to read about BLINQ... blah, blah, blah... “Blinq.exe is a deceptively simple command-line tool—similar to SqlMetal.exe for LINQ to SQL—that ...
Ron Garet did write about his personal experiences at NASAs JPL and how Lisp did perform in outer world (deep space) AI robotic projects. He was kinda disappointed by the way Lisp was abandoned in favor of C and Java because of C-Lisp integration problems. I think it would be interesting to have a look at todays programming languages and their possible future.The programming languages differ in many aspects such as Used Programming Paradigm Standard Libraries SyntaxToday the most widely used languages ...
Teched India 2006 in Hyderabad ended last evening with a gush of thrilled audience who experienced a full technology rain for two days. The turn out at the Shilparamam auditorium was packed with technology enthusiasts from various companies waiting to try their hands on the new technologies waiting to be shipped. This year, the primary focus were on two major milestones, Windows Vista, the next generation operating system from Windows and Office 2007, the coolest Office suite to have ever been shipped. ...
Since last years TechEd everyone has been hearing about .NET 3.0 and the cool features of LINQ, lambda expressions, and all of the other cool new language features. I don't know about you, but I was definitely looking forward to them. We were also hearing about WinFx and “Avalon“ and “Indigo“, InfoCard, Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) and the other new technologies that looked like they would only be part of Vista. Fast-forward a year to this years TechEd and we're still ...
When I went to TechEd, I though I would do a bit of blogging every day, but I had forgotten just how busy you can get here. There's just so much to see. While you do get the DVD's containing all the sessions (except Chalk-Talk ones), it takes at least 8 weeks and nothing beats being there. Have got a copy of Visual Studio for Database professionals, which will be installed as soon as possible. While I'm not sure about using in production environment yet (if nothing else, it's not the finished version), ...
In the morning I went to “Incorporating Agile Development into Your Organization”, given by Peter Provost (http://www.peterprovost.org/) and Adam Riddlehoover (http://blogs.msdn.com/arid... This was an awesome lecture about the techniques you can use to introduce Agile concepts into your dev process, and the benefits you can expect to receive. They talked about things such as Pair Programming, Test Driven Development, Daily Standup meetings, customer involvement, etc. They ...
Yesterday I went to Microsoft's Pablo Castro's presentation about the next version of ADO.Net. This presentation covered LINQ (Language Integrated Query) and some new features like the Entity Data Model. Many of you are probably familliar with LINQ, but every time I see it, I want to start using it right away. Unfortunately my company is a slow adopter, and we aren't even on 2005 yet :( The Entity Data Model is seperate from LINQ, but works hand in hand with it to provide some very imperssive features. ...
On Somasegar's WebLog, there was a post about the name change from WinFx to the .NET Framework 3.0. There is also a clarifying post from Jason Zander's WebLog on the matter. This is an interesting move and something I am still trying to understand because as I start digging into what this really means, I don't think it is a great idea. So, what is the deal? WinFx has simply been renamed to the .NET Framework 3.0 ... nothing more and that is the problem. When I install the .NET Framework 3.0, I was ...
“N R Narayana Murthy, one of India incorporated's much-celebrated icons, and chairman and chief mentor of Infosys Technologies, the country's second-biggest software services exporter, will step down from his position on August 30 this year. Citing company rules as the reason, Murthy said that at the age of 60, people relinquish their executive positions. He said that he would be thrilled and privileged if the Board in its meeting on July 10 and July 11, decided to ask him to continue as non-executive ...
There seems to be a bit of confusion out there as to what WinFX is and how it compares to .NET. Well, according to Somasegar's WebLog, Microsoft has decided to rename WinFX to the .NET Framework 3.0. The logic behind it being that WinFX really was the next generation of the developer framework. The .NET 3.0 framework will still include all functionality from WinFX and just have a name change. It still includes Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows ...
Soma (VP of Dev Div, in simple one of the top guys working on next VS codenamed Orcas) announced few hours ago renaming WinFX to .NET Framewok 3.0. The announcement stated tat the rename has no technical effect on the components of WinFX/.NET Framework 3.0 components, just as you can see here: It also stated another rename for InfoCard christened now “Windows CardSpace“ (WCS). This is supposed to reduce developers' confusion about the versionning plan for WinFX/.NET 3.0. As you may expect, ...
After all this hype around C# 3.0 where we will get .cf { font-family: Courier New; font-size: 10pt; color: black; background: white; } .cl { margin: 0px; } .cb1 { color: blue; } .cb2 { color: teal; } .cb3 { color: maroon; } .cb4 { color: green; } LINQ, lambda expressions and many other thing I thought that it would be useful to have a deeper look at functional programming languages like F#. At Microsoft quite many people are fond of the Functional Programming style which did influence the design ...
First presentation of the code camp was Daniel Carbajal on the newest May CTP of Orca, which includes the LinQ tools. LinQ is a new technology in Orca that sits as a layer on top of ADO.NET. Although you can still use ADO.NET in Orca, you also now have the ability to use LinQ exclusively and not touch ADO.NET again...ever..seriously. No more creating command objects or whatnot...its all done behind the scenes now. Some other very kewl features are xml write in the code file (no more wrapping it in ...

There’s a new version of Spec# available on the Microsoft Research Downloads page. I know there’s been a lot of discussion of LINQ, but I’m not entirely sold on it. However, Spec# is also a direction for features that may appear in an official C#-like language some day and is worth checking out. The Spec# programming system is a new attempt at a more cost effective way to develop and maintain high-quality software. Spec# is pronounced "Spec sharp" and can be written (and searched ...
I have just read ScottGu's post about how to use LINQ and it totally blowed my mind. LINQ actually enables you to query your structures creating collections that comply to your conditions. I love the concept that you can query code/XML etc. I love the concepts that you can create collections on the fly using the new query language. Two thumbs up ...
In the first look I posted last week, I asked the question why the var keyword for implicit types were so powerful and more than just syntactic sugar. After a response, I then realized I overlooked something pretty obvious with regards to LINQ queries. I found this post from Cyrus' Blather to be quite helpful: http://blogs.msdn.com/cyrus... Let's just go over the details for my own piece of mind. Let's compare how we would do each query in .NET 1.1, 2.0 and now 3.0. First, ...
I just wanted to tell that LINQ Preview May 2006 CTP has been released and available for download. If you don't know what LINQ is, you'll need to check the LINQ homepage (check the other cool extensions to LIONQ like XLINQ, DLINQ - he coolest part of ADO.NET3!), read the LINQ overview article, and/or watch Anders Hejlsberg's video about it on Channel9. You can discuss the new release in the The LINQ Project General Forum, or on CodeProject (I''d rather the forums though). For myself, I haven't got ...
Microsoft has published another team blog, this time for the data team, those are the gurus bhind SQL server and so, not the data access (who already have their own blog). Check the data team blog. (introduction) Als, Channel9 has started a new series of videos about upcoming data access technologies at Microsoft. The frst episode is on the general vision behind the new technologies. It's a combination of various talks regarding O/R problems and solutions, and a demo for DLINQ. You can check it, ...
Hot off the presses http://www.microsoft.com/do... Overview LINQ is a codename for a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated data query, set, and transform operations. It includes extensions to the C# and Visual Basic languages with native language syntax for queries and provides class libraries to take advantage of these capabilities.This package is a combined update of both the VB ...
A research article was written and release for XML Literals inside XLinq of VB 9 from the XLinq team. Inside the article, they don't really give an example of what it would look like to write a complex scenerio where conditions are used to determine the value of an attribute or element. This is when I feel it gets too complicated for an XML API. Inside C# XLinq, it is very easy to see and understand what is going on because you use language syntax that everyone is used too where VB integrates XML, ...

Over the last few weeks Clemens Vasters and others have been downplaying O/R mappers and DDD in architecture. In reading though a lot of their posts I am finding a lot of misunderstandings about O/R mapping and DDD. http://friends.newtelligenc... http://friends.newtelligenc... I have read some good counter points from http://www.lowendahl.net/sh... ...
Long time ago (more than a year now), Dan Fernandez, a former MS VC# PM,, current MS VS Express PM and one of my favourite Microsoft heros blogged about a great DJ friend who likes to be called DJ Bolivia, and, it seemed that Dan found out that as almost every developer likes to listen to music while working (I'm not an exception BTW), it'd be great to have some music composed espcially for developers. Later on, DJ Bolivia responded as he seemed to like the idea; he released 3 parts/volumes mix series ...

Now that VS 2005 RTM is out and pretty much visible among the developer community, I thought of what next. I happened to come across C# 3.0 and among the new features the one I liked much is LINQ . LINQ is an acronym for .NET Language Integrated Query. It helps to use general query notation for operations like selection, filtering etc on any IEnumerable <T> based datasource. You can read about this more from Don Box's article at MSDN . I tried some code snippets and found it pretty good. Notably, ...
I find it really exciting that Microsoft are investing so much still into Visual Basic. VB.Net 2005 has only been out a since November and we are already talking about the next version. Visual Basic 9 is actually going to be a very exciting language as it incorporates LINQ, if you don't know what link is I'll let Don Box and Anders Hejlsberg explain from their whitepaper that can be found here. "After two decades, the industry has reached a stable point in the evolution of object oriented programming ...
A new very interesting show from Channel9 is “Behind the Code”. The idea is to bring in one of the code heros and start talking about his life in general, not only in work, and, give him some hard questions that come behind some easier questions at the beginning. The first episode hosts (as you should expect) Anders Hejlsberg (the great guy behind C# and now LINQ) in a very interesting talk about his whole life and family. They brought his ex-development manager in Borlland, and showed ...
It's been a busy time, but life rolls on. Gave up on the LINQ code, just could not get it to work from within VS2005 Beta, but am going to try again now I've got the RTM. Uninstalled VS2005B2, and Installed VS2005. No errors during install, but have already found 1 problem. The snippits do not work, and I can't seem to find the Snippits manager. It's not were the documentation says it should be. Life. One of these days I need to reformat my laptop. Or get my desktop working.The odd thing is that ...
…to start thinking about VB 9. You can download the January CTP (with LINQ support)
here.
The article copmares LINQ (Language Integrated Query) to large number of its old and new contemporaries, like OODBMS, ADO.NET, CodeSmith, and some java solutions. This is pretty interesting to read, and when done reading, you may share in the discussion on TheServerSide.NET. By the way, speaking of MSDN, LNQ, and TheServerSide.NET; you can also see this MSDN TV video on VB9 & LINQ, it has a similar discusion on TheServerSide.NET. Note: VB9 is meant to refer to VB in the Visual Studio version after ...
Hello, Darth Node here. Well when I get geeking on XML, that is my alter ego that appears. This is really Jeff Julian, but I wanted a new home for the XML specific posts. I will still retain the same voice on my original blog, but this will be specific to XML, System.Xml, XLINQ, and other XML technologies that I am impressed with and am researching. Once I get my virtuals setup, I will be posting about XLINQ and XML Literals in VB ...
When companies such as BEA Systems, IBM, Oracle, SAP, Siebel Systems, IONA and Sybase comes together it is for an important reason. There are two main reasons for this, firstly Enterprise Java Beans initially didn’t come up with the goods, it didn’t really do the job it was advertised to do and it was clunky and clumsy. Secondly, because J2EE wasn’t as good as hoped it endured a few major revisions which has made it difficult (and expensive) to get JCP certified. Ok, so there is ...

Clemens posts Visual Studio Overload And The Specialization Gamble and Taulty posts .NET 2.0: How far it's come as somewhat of a response. As a solutions architect, I can't even begin to explain how overwhelming it is at times trying to wrap my mind around the different technologies coming down the pipeline even though they are all .NET-based. Today it's LINQ, tomorrow its Workflow, next week it's Avalon and in 3 months its C# 3.0. Good thing we have blogs, syndication, RSS and ATOM ...
There is an awesome article about LINQ on Azam Sharp's blog today, http://geekswithblogs.net/A... The Microsoft Faculty Advisory team had a nice opportunity to hear about this from Anders Hejlsberg at our meeting in Redmond. Chanel 9 also has a nice interview with him as well where he talks about some of the exciting features of LINQ. I am really excited about this new programming tool. I hope to now download it an see what I can do with it. Once I get it running ...
