The Membership API is new to ASP.NET 2.0. It provides you with a full-fledged infrastructure for managing and authenticating users of your applications. ASP.NET 2.0 shipped two Membership providers, SQL Server and Active Directory. While plenty of articles and blog posts have been published on how to use the SQL Server Membership provider, very few have been done for the Active Directory Membership provider. I was recently leading an enterprise web site project that required the Active Directory...

Many BSPs include a config.bib that is configured to create an nk.bin, but not an nk.nb0. The nk.bin is handy during development, or for upgrading in the field. But it isn't so useful for programming your board using a JTAG tool. Let's look at what the difference is between the two nk files are and how to create an nk.nb0.
An nk.bin is a set of records. Each record includes an address, length and data to be stored at the address. By using these records, the file size can often be reduced which...
BldDemo is an interesting batch file. I suspect that it was originally created to demonstrate how to build a Windows CE project. Today, it is the used by the Platform Builder IDE to build projects. I don't really use it very often, except through Platform Builder, but it is a good source of information and is useful when I do use it.
What is BldDemo? It is a batch file that can be used to build a Windows CE image. It hides the real tools that do the job. You can find it in %_WINCEROOT%\Public\Common\OAK\Misc...
So I got a comment on my twitter post yesterday asking if I was going to blog during TechEd as well.
Yes, of course I'm going to blog about TechEd and the sessions that I attend. You can't attend it all and I always find value in blogging about sessions that I attend as well as reading the other attendees blogs, especially when i'm unable to attend a conference.
If you see me at TechEd and want to chat, please grab me by the shirt and pull me aside. I love to chat about anything SharePoint...
The DataContext is an object representation of the database. It is responsible for all the operations performed on the database. One of the biggest issues when working with LINQ to SQL is the life time of an object when part of the DataContext. The DataContext is designed in a way that it will only handle the objects that were created by it. Although you can attach objects of one DataContext to a different DataContext but when you do this all hell breaks loose. Let's take a look at the example below...
Having blogged about these 'bandits' already I was interested to note that the BBC's Watch Dog have reported on them already!!!

GeekFest Party at TechEd 2008 Developer Conference

The web service limitations, along with the dynamic nature of most object graphs make the web service support provided by .NET Remoting inadequate for developing smart clients with the same capabilities as full Remoting clients. Expressions use VB.NET syntax and are technically very similar to Excel formulas. In Java, inner classes now come in two main avours, static (a term I don't particularly like) and non-static, see Object-Relational Mapping in accordance with Formal Specification. Object...
Finally after spending hours building 3 servers (to do the job of the primary, mirror and witness) and installing SQL Server 2005 Enterprise with SP2 all sitting in the same domain. I was ready to try out Database Mirroring which arguably is one of the main reason people can justify the cost of purchasing the Enterprise edition.
It should be easy, fill in the wizard and bob's your uncle, your trusty database is ready for instant uninterrupted failover goodness. In my case it all fell over with the...

If you are on the mailing list for the Melbourne SQL Server User Group you will already be aware of this, but I am doing a talk on Tuesday night on the new BI features in SQL Server 2008. You can find the details here: http://www.sqlserver.org.au/events/ViewEvent.aspx?EventId=332 If you are going to be in town feel free to drop by and say hello...
It was a nice day out today, so I decided to take my trusty old notebook out with me and work on some comic ideas. Here is what I have so far: Support Calls (hilarious ones related to SharePoint, if you have ideas e-mail me or contact me with them real life fuels the best stuff) Twitter Mockery and Fun Something related to how devs always have a ton of windows open and need a billion gigs of ram, especially when they need a SharePoint VPC Ability to create multiple alerts (user hilarity...
I'm all about trying new things, because I believe I am ADHD and get very bored at work sometimes. So my boss and one of my fellow colleagues threw at me a couple of requirements for our newest set of sites. We are working on some sites for various offices, which I think will be really cool. Some of the things that they wanted were the ability to see a set of global links and site specific links on the quick launch bar. They wanted something dynamic, so one of the other devs wondered if we could...
I've found in my source code library a few custom ASP.NET controls that could be useful for someone.

Joel Neubeck back with more flipping tiles, BradleyB on VSLive Orlando Presentation, Shawn Wildermuth on Uploading, John Evdemon on User Context, and Dan Wahlin on DotNetRocks!
From SilverlightCream.com: Silverlight Flipping Tiles Animation Joel Neubeck wasn't satisfied with me sitting and clicking his flipping animation from the last time I posted about it... this time he has an entire page of auto-flips! Since I don't have an iPhone, I'm not familiar with this, but it's dang cool... and what's...
As one of my colleagues put it, "We all struggle to stay up to date on our new technologies."

Richard Seroter published useful utility to store/retrieve configuration settings in Enterprise SSO database. I added some more functionality to it.
First, I added Export/Import functions allowing to actually save values in the external XML file (Richard's implementation allowed storing only field names, calling for extra work should you delete and restore SSO aplication). I kept file format the same so the usage scenarios are:
Saving configuration: 1.1 Create application; 1.2 Save to XML; 1.3...
Ok, myself and a couple of colleagues spent a ton of time today scratching our heads because of an odd behavior in Rhino Mocks. Basically, we set an expectation, set the expectation to repeat only once, and then were surprised to see a passing test when we knew the actual code was calling the expectation too many times. So we created the below example. The test in the example should fail, but it passes.
using NUnit.Framework;
using Rhino.Mocks;
namespace UnitTests
{
public interface IMyTestInterface

The Scenario
This is a common scenario with potential BizTalk solutions. You are implementing a process which needs to be triggered at specific points. The problem you have is that BizTalk doesn’t really do scheduling. There are service window features in BizTalk where you can control when messages can be received or sent, however this depends on a message being already there.
What you really want is a trigger to start...
You may have heard, some folks are wondering why they haven't received a stimulus check like everyone else. You may have even heard ME bitching about it, or maybe you're one of the ones affected. Here's what I got in my inbox today: Dear Valued Customer, We want to provide you with the most up–to–date information about the tax rebate to which you may be entitled. Recently, you may have received a letter from the IRS advising you when to expect your Economic Stimulus Payment (rebate)....
