If you've downloaded SP1 of Visual Studio 2008, and are looking through the Visual C++ samples trying to locate anything to do with TR1 language extensions or the MFC Feature Pack, you'll notice they aren't there. The SP1 samples are avialable...
After 6 months buried in a banking project, I'm emerging from the other end with a presentation this Thursday at SDNUG on ASP.NET MVC . Full details on the SDNUG site - if you're in Sydney, come along and be wowed.
I had the frustrating experience of having a new WM6 device ( HTC Touch ) developing a problem synching to a new Vista machine. The Touch was in its third week of a synch relationship with Vista, so it could be hoped that honeymoon bliss was still lingering...
Working with linked servers in VSTS Database Pro can be a bit painful, especially when the linked server is a production server that should be (and typically is) inaccessible from developer's machines. If the appropriate linked server settings aren't...
I've just completed a short,rushed project that involved moving data from one SQL Server 2005 in a DMZ to another SQL Server 2005 server inside the network. The database in the DMZ is deployed on a per-web site basis, and there can be many copies...
This months offering looks at upgrading an old MFC application to take advantage of Vista. Some months the article come quickly (less than 4 hours). This month, it took a couple of days. The documentation for the MFC 9 updates is still pretty minimal...
The website is up to date now - I'm in Perth tomorrow night for the Code Generation presentation (if APEC hasn't caused the too many problems with my flight)
The site's not updated yet , but I'm happy to confirm that I'll be in Perth on 6 Sep to present my Code Generation in the Real World talk. The blurb for the talk is: Real-world Code Generationby Nick Wienholt There is a lot more to real-world...
Released a couple of weeks ago, SOA in the Real World is a good summary of the guidance that Microsoft has been putting out for the last 5 years. As my main task in the current gig is the writing a document of integration stategy and then working with...
As part of the MSDN Subscription offering, a box of discs is delivered most months with updated versions of Microsoft software. Because a single DVD has many products on it, the disc churn rate is reasonably high. In addition to the disks that come in...
When connecting to VSS over the internet to a server that has the VSS web service on a web site that isn't sitting on port 80, the full name of the service needs to be specified in the connection settings on the client side, as shown below. If you...
With the release of a number of hardware drivers over the last couple of months, I've finally been in a position to upgrade my main dev machine to Vista. Everything has gone remarkably well, with the exception that I was getting very noticeable pauses...
I do a monthly article for CodeGuru on Visual C++ ( archive here ), and this months article was on the new Crypto API (called Windows Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG)) in Windows Vista. One of the real benefits of CNG is the support for National...
I'm doing the June presentation at SDNUG on Real World Code Generation. The session basically covers the back-end system that has been put in place at the company I'm currently working with, and uses .net Tiers , VSTS DB Pro and CodeSmith to fully...
On the project I'm on at the moment, we're making extensive use of VSTS DB Pro as part of the process for generating the DAL and keeping it under source control. I just found this post where Gert has announced that there will be a MSBuild task...
There was an interesting article in the SMH today on the death of computer clubs . As the co-president of a user group , the picture painted by the article seemed overly gloomy, and certainly doesn't represent the state of play for developer user groups...
I'm sure someone has come up with this solution to collections of derived types in derived objects somewhere before, but I couldn't find the solution written up anywhere when I was trying to solve it, so I though I'd write it up for the sake of easy reference...
Warning: rant follows. I do some work for a client who likes DNN, and despite my own personnel luke-warm-at-best feelings towards DNN, I do work to support a web solution based on it. Today, I was reminded why DNN and the surrounding projects aren't at...
In using Data Dude on a project I'm working on, the bizarre situation where a schema compare gives inaccurate results has occurred. The situation was easy to re-produce: one developer made a change in the schema, another developer did a get latest, and...
As Frank mentioned , a couple of Sydney's user group leaders got together with some of the local DPE team and Sanjay Shetty from INETA APAC . The purpose of the meeting was a general chat about the current relationship with INETA and Microsoft, and what...
