I was playing with idea of using Schematron for Biztalk. It turns out that it could be very powerful tool.
Schematron xslt like language wich allows to verify xml based on xpaths. And this is something xsd can't do.
Taking insipration from brilliant article from Sarvana; I decided to write a receive pipeline component that can validate incoming xmls based on xpaths. If the incoming xml fails the tests then I don't want that to enter the system rather than failing further down the line.My requirement...

I've just completed the first release of MSSqlSchemaDoc on codeplex!
The application is used to extract the schema of a SQL database into XML files (one per object). I decided not to use SMO (Sql Management Objects) since they are quite slow when extracting this level of data (they issue multiple queries per object, instead of just the one or two that I do).
It all works by defining classes which represent database objects, like tables, views, etc. These classes are decorated with attributes...
I got back early this morning from a weekend away at the Minneapolis based Twin Cities Code Camp organized by Jason Bock of Magenic and featuring a slew of great presenters. I was down to do a “What is BizTalk” session while my buddy Juan Larios did a talk on Sharepoint. I like having alot of interaction in my sessions, including between attendees, and we definately had that. Some in attendance had experience with BizTalk and were able to give their real world experiences and answer questions that...
One of the engineers working with me was adding an SD driver to a platform today. After adding the driver to the BSP and testing it, he found that the driver wouldn’t load because one of the dlls that it was dependent on was missing from the OS. After using dumpbin to determine which dll was missing, we found that SDBUS.dll was the missing dll.
To be honest, we knew what we needed to add but wanted to make sure and see if anything else was needed. We started by right clicking on the Catalog to search...
One of my engineers was working on a new system today and was having a problem setting up a NAND flash disk. The problem was that while he had made a change to the registry to set up the start address and size of the disk, the changes just were not visible in when the OS ran. We both have a lot of experience developing and building Windows CE systems, so we checked the obvious things:
1. He save Platform.reg where he made the changes
2. He copied Platform.reg to the _FLATRELEASEDIR
3. ...
Last week I need to write an application for my Electrical Engineer to run at boot up to test some hardware changes. He needed to run this test every time the system booted, and needed to have the system reboot often. Of course I don’t expect an EE to be able to set up the test so that it automatically starts when the system boots, and I don’t want to do it for him so I decided to have the application set itself up to run again on the next boot.
I have discussed how to set up an application to run...
Hello! Welcome to my blog! My name is Blake and this is my first blog post ever! I have been wanting to start a blog for the last couple of years but... well... you know how things go... :) I plan this blog to be used for different purposes: family stuff, fun staff, rants, venting, and of course computer programing and methodologies!
So let me tell you a little bit more about myself: I'm a Missourian. I have lived in Kansas City, Missouri most my life. I went to University of Missouri-Rolla...
Biff Gaut is continuing his tradition of mixing humor with some good technical content as he attends the PDC. Over the past several PDC's, Biff has always been able to sprinkle his dry sense of humor into the mix of his daily reports on what he sees. Check it out here: http://www.biffspdcnewsletter.com/...
You may be surprised to find that classes are serialized by WCF without any [DataContract] attribute attached to them. I certainly was.
When WCF came out, there was much fanfare of the new, improved, superior WCF serializer (justified IMHO). The main policy sizzle was that unlike the [Serializable] marking a POCO object and then [NonSerialized] attribute marking specific fields (opt-out), WCF will now use "opt-in": Only properties specifically decorated will be serialized.
This serialization policy...

With the aid of the Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM library found in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\Developer Tools" you can write your own tool for administration of your Biztalk applications. With this API you can have a look at the installed applications, add applications and configure sendports and receivelocations and all other parts of the application. Start with declaring an object of type BtsCatalogExplorer and giving it the connectionstring to the Biztalk Management database....
So, I have been writing here for over a month, and I have never really introduced myself. I think it's about time that you guys get to know a bit about me. Well, I am Stephanie Grima and I come from a little island called Malta. It's right in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, in Europe of course. I doubt that many of you are familiar with Malta but, it's a really sunny island especially in summer. Tourists go crazy over our beaches, good food, history and nightlife. Imagine, we have a whole town...
We already know that we can pass state into to Threads in 2 ways: 1. using ParameterizedThreadStart delegate 2.using global variables(reference or value types) accessible to the main thread as well the instantiated thread. This is also the way to share data amonst multiple threads. Infact the most common way to share data between threads is using static variables where application wide scope is desired. 3.using Thread.QueueUserWorkItem ... This differs from Parameterized ThreadStart delegate since...
Imagine if you could have taken part to the development of the first version of Adobe Flash, and helped to make it a better product. Imagine that for the Mosaic web browser. Or the development of HTML and the web... Imagine if you could have been part of an adventure that will change how people see and use the Internet This is how I feel today. Silverlight 2 will being released during the course of Tuesday, the 14th of October. Given the time difference, it's possible that we Europeans only get...
When testing, I find that it is important to be cognizant of what you’re testing. I’ve seen (and done) tests where I was using my IoC container to inject a dependency. You may think, “That’s the way it will work in the real world.” The problem is, it may have nothing to do with the System Under Test (SUT). So, you’re test might fail because something went wrong with your IoC container or configuration and have nothing to do with your SUT failing at all. The important thing to remember is test what...
In this issue: Jesse Liberty, Denislav Savkov, Shawn Wildermuth, Gerard Leblanc, and Jonas Follesø.
From SilverlightCream.com: Data Binding – Data Conversion Jesse Liberty has a very nice post on Data Conversion in DataBinding ... timely for me since I was just looking at that last night :) ... good job on this, Jesse! The ComboBox control in Silverlight 2 RC0 Denislav Savkov continues the control excursion in RC0 by tackling the Combobox this time in the complete manner...
Recently a performance bug came my way. A highly multithreaded application, that can run for hours depending on the amount of data its processing, was observed having all its CPUs ramping up to 100% utilization, and the amount of data processed per second dropped down to nothing.
Ok, no big deal here. I've most likely got a state where all threads are stuck in a tight loop (most likely the same loop), and each thread is waiting on the other to set a flag that will allow them to exit the loop. ...
Aspiring Web Application Developer?
Ever wonder:
-"What would it take to start writing some websites in ASP.NET?"
-"How do I setup and configure IIS[the web server] and set up SQL?"
Wonder no more! There is a simple tool that will install IIS7, VWD Express 2008, SQL 2008 and proper .NET framework for you.
Just load the tool, pick a scenario and you are ready in a few minutes!
This would saved me some time getting and setting up all the products and settings myself. Awesome!

I tried to dial in to the teleconference, but kept getting an invalid number.
<Update:>
Nathan Brouwer was able to get into the press conference and wrote up a nice transcript as it was going. He has posted that on his blog here: Silverlight 2 Final (RTW) Available ... thanks for the email and note-taking, Nathan!
</Update>
I refreshed the Press Release page at 9:00, and there it was!
It will be available on October 14, and current Silverlight users will be updated.
