Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installation tips...

Rex Tang — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 21:28:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

So during the new year holidays, it's a good time to take some care of current software installations, also a good time to back up important data to DVDs...

I was installing Visual Studio 2005 SP1, and same as Jeffrey, I failed several times on installing the patch and need to refer to the KBs to solve the policy problems.

Before you also wanting to update to VS2005 SP1, follow the steps below to prevent waiting long time of the installation and get errors and start again.

KBs to read:

Steps:

download the SP1 from here
follow the official kb to modify software policy to prevent error 1718 dialouge
uninstall Scott Gu's Web Application Project if you installed it before
Install the SP1

that's it. thanks to Jeffrey's post to reduce my time on searching of the KBs.

Software Architecture: Past, Present and Future...

Emerging Architect Roles

The considerations of economical changes like globalization and technological achievements like the Internet’s impact 0n the digital economy, pressed for formalizing software architecture as a discipline.

Although there is not yet a definite agreement in the distinct roles, we can sketch three major personas:

· Infrastructure Architect. These define the platform and other environments (hardware, basic software) to provide for business applications’ high availability. They must also work with developers to define mechanisms and standards that allow applications to achieve the security, reliability, manageability, transparency, and policy compliance essential to the modern business. It’s expected that the natural evolution of a senior IT professional is an Infrastructure Architect.

· Solutions Architect. These are responsible for the design of one or more applications or services within an organization, usually within the scope of a division (and for that reason also known as Application Architect). Examples of such applications are: Internet banking, companywide knowledge sharing portal, and distributed point of sales applications. A senior developer is a good candidate to become Solutions Architect.

· Enterprise Architect. Their job is to keep the business and its IT systems in alignment. They strive to maximize the return on IT investment by making sure that IT spending is prioritized towards business opportunity, and by optimizing the impact of investments across the organization’s portfolios of services, resources, projects, and processes. They must be a bridge between business leaders, development, and operations to ensure that mutual understanding is achieved, goals are realistic, and expectations are properly managed. Enterprise Architecture is about the big picture — how people and technology work together to produce world-class, long-term results. For that reason, this persona is also referred as Strategic Architect. What is expected is that a Solutions Architect or Infrastructure Architect becomes Enterprise Architect.

Just had a reading of this article which provided an overall view of Software Architecture progress, nice one to have a read also it introduced an architecture site at http://www.skyscrapr.net , full of resources and discussion related to architectures, don't miss the link...

Orcas 2006 Sep CTP, remember to download BASE image...

Seems I am not the only one who missed the information while downloading Orcas 2006 Sep CTP and found that I can not open the virtual machine.

I got the problem while opening the .vmc file of this CTP in Virtual Server 2005 R2, it told me:

The parent virtual hard disk "E:\VPC\TimeBombedBase\Base01.vhd" for the differencing virtual hard disk "D:\Orcas2006SepCTP\VSSep2006CTP.vhd" does not exist. Please reconnect the differencing virtual hard disk to the correct parent virtual hard disk.

After a search from Google, found Greg's post about this, and knew that I also forgot to download the BASE image.

New Google Reader Interface...

Rex Tang — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 07:35:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

The new Google Reader interface is really good to use after you really tried to use it. just as Robert Scoble said in his blog:

Now, yeah, NewsGator has a river view too, but I never found it satisfying. I’m not sure why Google’s Reader caught my eye, but now that it has it’s just so much easier to read thousands of posts and sift through them looking for good stuff.

I was always using Newsgator services to manage my blog subscriptions, start from this year changed from Newsgator Outlook Edition to FeedDemon 2. and now just feel that reading thousands of posts in river view via Google Reader is really a nice reading experience.

The new interface of Google Reader is really nice and smooth. I just export my OPML file from FeedDemon and then import it into Google Reader, all my subscriptions are now inside it, with all the folder classifications preserved (but will become Tags). When reading all the new posts in river view, I'll just have to use mouse scroll wheel to "browse" them, when a post is over the browser window, it will auto marked as read (using ajax). this is really a friendly UI design. When a post caught attention, click the title, and it will open a new browser window to load the original post.

And Robert is right, using FireFox with Google Reader is faster than IE7.

About Tagging, it's the same concept as GMail about tagging, just tag it with the key-words you like. Adding Star lets you mark important posts for later review. also there is a Share button that let you mark posts for sharing with others (Google Reader creates a public share page for every Google Reader user that is a list of all the blog posts you marked as "share"), also this shared public page even had a RSS feed to subscribe, nice!

I do like the "Watch" function of FeedDemon to let me define keyword and search all my feeds and then aggregate the result in a folder to read related topic posts. but the river view of Google Reader plus its nice user interface really caught my eyes on the blog reading experience. try it and you'll know what I am talking about.

Installing Team Foundation Server (Single Server Deployment)...

Rex Tang — Wed, 01 Nov 2006 02:55:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

Just had a VM setup for released version of Team Foundation Server (trial version). My last installation experience of TFS was at RC phase, and wasn't a very good one. the installation of dual server deployment required AD domain for user/service account sharing, and while the RC installation there were some errors came out also after the installation, the SQL Server in data-tier machine eats almost 800mb RAM at initial, and over 1gb while doing team project accesses.

The installation of final release TFS is a better experience. Since I was installing TFS for learning new MSF 4 Process, Active Directory is not that necessary for that. Referred to installation guide that now if using Single-Server Deployment, it is supported also on a non-domain environment (i.e. workgroup env.) therefore I decided to use a single VM for the whole TFS box, including SQL Server 2005.

Installation process was smooth. just follow the installation guide and do it step by step. Since it's a single TFS box, I used administrator account to behave as TFSSetup , and created TFSService and TFSReport accounts for the installation service account. Using VMWare Workstation 5 to create the VM, and set snapshots at each installation steps as follows (in case something went wrong):

Create an empty VM and Install Windows 2003 R2 Server
Install IIS6, related Windows Services (SMTP, ASP.NET, etc), as well as .NET framework 2.0
Do a Windows Update to patch the system to up-to-date status. (create a snapshot here)
Install SQL Server 2005 and SP1 (create a snapshot here)
Install Windows SharePoint Service 2.0 (create a snapshot here)
Install TFS Single-Server Deployment (create a snapshot here before start to use TFS)

Before installing TFS image, remember to start Reporting Service, SQL Browser, and Analysis Service system services or else the TFS installation healthy check will fail.

After installing TFS box, remember to install Team Explorer (at the same TFS iso image) at DevVM's VS2005 IDE in order to be able to access TFS inside the IDE.

the overall performance is better than RC stage, init status on the TFS box utilize about 800mb ram and still over 1gb while doing a single team project data access.

The next should be starting to put some projects into TFS to test the project management processes.

CommunityServer 2.1 Tips: Gallery photo options, save to DB or save to file...

Rex Tang — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 10:13:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

Just had a trace to the source code since I found some of my gallery photos were missing and not able to get them back while upgrading my blog site to CS 2.1 in my VM.

Later found that in .Text era, images were saving to DB only; later in CS 1.x era, images were changed to save to files to minimize DB space usage. now in CS 2.1 , it can now be set to either places, or both.

in CS 1.x , the default image saving location is at ~/photos/storage , while it's the same as in CS 2.1 , if you find your images missing to display on browser, remember to copy all the files in ~/photos/storage of CS 1.x web spaces.

in CS 2.1, now there are options to let you set where to save, DB or file, or both. refer to default CommunityServer.config file , like the following:

  <Gallery
   allowEncodedUnicodeCharsInMetadata="true"
   >
          <AttachmentSettings
              enableFileSystemStorage="true" fileSystemStorageLocation="~/photos/storage"
              enableDataStoreStorage="true" enableDirectLinks="false"
              extensions = "gif,jpg,jpeg,png,bmp,GIF,JPEG,JPG,PNG,BMP,Gif,Jpg,Jpeg,Png,Bmp" />
          <CacheSettings
              enableFileSystemStorage="true" fileSystemStorageLocation="~/photos/cache"
              enableDataStoreStorage="false" enableDirectLinks="false"
              />
  </Gallery>

AttachmentSettings is the place to toggle where to save images to. if set both enableFileSystemStorage and enableDataStoreStorage to true, not only image files will be create and save in ~/photos/storage folder, but also will be saved to database record binary field (cs_PostAttachment table). Refer to GalleryPosts.cs file of CommunityServerGalleries20 project (started from line 387):

  //TODO: work on new save attachement patterns
  private static void CreatePictureData(GalleryPost galleryPost, PostAttachment pictureData)
  {
   // Submit it to the database
   if (GalleryConfiguration.Instance().AttachmentSettings.EnableDataStoreStorage && pictureData.HasDateCreated)
    CommonDataProvider.Instance().AddPostAttachment(galleryPost, pictureData);
   else
   {
    PostAttachment noPictureData = new PostAttachment(pictureData);
    noPictureData.Content = null;
    CommonDataProvider.Instance().AddPostAttachment(galleryPost, noPictureData);
   }
   // If file system storage is enabled, we need to save it.
   if (GalleryConfiguration.Instance().AttachmentSettings.EnableFileSystemStorage)
    CreateDataFile(galleryPost, pictureData);
  }

basically this checks both flags to see if they are true, and then save to each places (DB and file). but if DataStoreStorage flag is false, then while saving the data record, will set Content binary field to null.

By default setting in CS 2.1 , it seems set both DB and file flags to true. To preserve the same usage as in CS 1.x , it's needed to change the enableDataStoreStorage to false.

CacheSettings also using the same setting pattern as AttachmentSettings, but actually DataStore support for Cache is currently not supported in this version, as stated in the comment of CommunityServer.config file.

Tips: Installing sdk version of CommunityServer 2.1...

Rex Tang — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 02:56:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

So I finally got some time to start the process of upgrading this blog site to CommunityServer 2.1. I downloaded the 2.1 SDK source, also requested a backup of currently running CS1.1 database from my web-hosting-provider, and started from here.

I had created a virtual machine as my development environment, with Windows 2003 R2 server and VisualStudio Team Suite installed. as this website is currently running under ASP.NET 1.1, I am trying to start running it under ASP.NET 2.0. The goal is to preserve all my blog posts, photo images, and comments and do the technology upgrade and version-up reconstruction.

After unpack the SDK, and trying to open 2.0 solution file from VisualStudio, the first problem will be that VS2005 won't be able to open the web project since VS2005 now has a new non-project model for website solution. to solve this, I need to download the new Web Application Project (WAP) from ScottGu's website and install it. while the WAP installation it will require another VS2005 updates prior it. After the installation of WAP, CS2.1's ASP.NET 2.0 web project can be opened without problems.

For the IIS part, first editing the hosts file (on windows folder) to point my domain name to localhost, then create a virtual website to point to SDK's web folder, refering to the documentation to set proper read/write priviledges to folders.

For the database part, follow SDK's sqlscript folder's readme file to upgrade database schema from CS 1.1 to CS 2.1.

I did a full rebuild from the source code to regenerate all necessary binaries, and then trying to open my test site in browser. error happaned.

ERROR: Could not load file or assembly 'MemberRole, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b7c773fb104e7562' or one of its dependencies

Doing a search from google, found that I need to switch to asp.net 2.0 version's web.config file to avoid this error. the files is under "ASP.NET2_configs" folder of SDK source. I did the replace and trying to run again, another error occured.

Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection

Doing a search from google, found that it is something related to trusted connection to SQL server. since I am running CS database in different SqlServer 2005 machine other then web application machine, I decided to avoid this problem by not using trusted connection but using usual SqlServer authentication. just edit the web.config file and change the sqlserver connection string to set Trusted_Connection from yes to no.

By setting all those above, I can get a running instance of CS 2.1 site under my dev VM. the next is to modify the themes and skins of my blogs, also need to modify the source code to support non-keyword searching to be able to search Chinese and Japanese. also need to check about the new url rewrite model to see if it fits my requests (out-site url rewrite).

still need some time to finish my CS2.1 blog site, will post other tips if I found any.

Saw from Scott's blog about Patterns and Practices Guidance Explorer project, which lets you browse guidances from MS PAG, organize your own pattern groups, or even writing your own guidance and sharing with others.

It's also having online version to browse those guidances online.

This should be good for dev teams to organize, manage, and share group-wide guidances and accumulate knowledge assets.

[via ScottGu]

Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals just released CTP6, which included fixes and feedbacks to make it a better one.

It's necessary to uninstall CTP5 before installing CTP6.

Scott also mentioned some good db tools to help generating test data (MassDataHandler) or creating database documents (Data Dictionary Creator).

This should be a good platform for programmingly manipulating data and database while doing database related solutions.

Japan TechEd 2006 Yokohama Day 4 (The last day)...

Rex Tang — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 17:25:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

The last day of TechEd 2006 here at Yokohama, Japan, rainy day...

In the morning there were sessions about RFID, C++/CLI Programming that's releated to developers; also others mainly releated to IT System Management like SQL Server 2005 Disaster Recovery, SMS2003, etc.

In the afternoon, managed to attend session "T1-401 Software Factory Implementation". actually this topic was talked at last year's TechEd USA at Florida (my posts here and here), and this time is a nice chance to review the concept and tools that's ready to support the process. Some DSL Tools are ready, and some still under development or in beta progress. The integration of Software Factory process into Visual Studio Team System is a good point to combine all the tools / process in a united development platform. This should take some time to read and understand all the definitions of process and what are they really mean, but after mastered them, should be a very powerful process to make software engineering to another fun and productive level!

In the rest of afternoon I choosed to stay at MVP lounge trying to know more MVPs here at Japan. There is a very big and popular private community site called mixi.jp (invitation based) here at Japan, MSMVPs here also got their own private community on mixi , sharing information and keep in touch with each others.

As a conclusion of TechEd 2006 here at Yokohama, Japan, some of the topics that should be important at Microsoft world next year:

Although I do think that LINQ should be another important topic in this year's TechEd, didn't see any session here at Japan talking about it (Also PowerShell !! ).

One of the other good things to attend TechEd here is that it gave me a chance to know new friends here at Japan. I would like to thank MVP lead here at Microsoft Japan again to invite me to this event and also glad to know all the MVPs here at Japan, thanks and see you all in next local event! :)

Day 3 of TechEd 2006 here at Yokohama, Japan. sunny day!

In the morning sessions Shanku Niyogi gave 2 sessions all about Atlas / Ajax / ASP.NET 2.0. Lunch time there was a "SQL Server 2005 Ready Lunch" event gathering attendees talking about SQL Server 2005.

I managed to attend David J. Anderson's session "T5-404 Implement MSF Agile and CMMI Process using Visual Studio Team System". it's a nice talk to review the project management stuffs as well as how tools can make project manager's work more efficiently. David spend some time explaining some of the 50 reports Visual Studio Team System generated and I found them very useful to view project progress in another aspects.

As I was trying to attend the next session that Frederick Chong talking about SaaS (Software as a Service), found that it changed the session time to this morning, pity.

So the rest of the afternoon I was stay at MVP lounge room and talking with Japan MVPs. also managed to meet Japan MVP Lead Mr. Koita, thanks him to invited me to Japan TechEd 2006.

After today's sessions, there was a "Community Party" held today. all the major Japan .NET community members were invited to this party, including MSMVPs at Japan.

The speaking of Microsoft Japan CEO Darren Huston.

The speaking of Microsoft Worldwide Director of MVP Program, Sean O'Driscoll.

In the middle of the party, managed to get a pic with Sean O'Driscoll and Miss. Mayumi Suzuki, MVP Program Manager of Microsoft Japan.

well, it's a nice party for me who just started my life and work here at Tokyo, Japan, to know new friends that are working in Microsoft technologies. nice event, nice weather. beautiful scene here at Yokohama harbor, although, there was an earthquake in the afternoon...

Day 2 of TechEd Japan, cloudy day...

Spending some time at MVP lounge to know new MVP friends here at Japan, managed to catch the last session, T1-303 Responsibilities of IT Architects and Project Managers. As a result, Japan's IT working style is different from other countries, made it difficult for clearify responsibilities in real project management situations. Project managers and IT architects here in Japan usually have to carry responsibilities in projects, but they don't have really decision rights to decide how things should be done. This should be changed in order to create a better project management environment here in Japan.

There was also a MVP private session about game design on XBox 360 platform. a new XNA game development framework is going to release a beta version today (8/30) , the future windows game platform will also be in a "Live!" style, means game players can communicate with not only gaming partners, but also other users who are surfing internet. Saw a nice XBox 360 demo today, really cool!

After the last session today, there was Attendee Party. Attendees have free pass to the party, also got free food and drinks and some shows.

Japan TechEd 2006 Yokohama Day 1...

Rex Tang — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 17:33:00 GMT

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

Today is the first day of TechEd 2006 at Yokohama, Japan. I got up at early morning to catch the train at 8AM to Yokohama from Shinjuku JR station. Arrived Pacifico Yokohama conference center at around 9AM for the registration process. Nice weather today!

A lot of IT Pros / Developers in Japan are coming to this event, the main lobby is full of people and sponser spots, also got food area for breakfast and snacks.

TechEd Japan's keynote should be Japanese version of the formal keynote from TechEd 2006 US. First, words from MS Japan President Darren Huston to bring the key idea of this year's point of TechEd; after that, Japan Server Platform Director Mr. Koki Igarashi introduces the "4 promises" in Japanese, to be suitable as a local TechEd event.

After 2 hours keynote session, there was a so-called "Peer-Talk Lunch" event, gathering people to a dinning hall and seperated each Microsoft products in to corners so people can eat their lunch also have chances to talk to pros from Microsoft Japan or peers. This is same as big dinning hall style at TechEd USA, people eat together to have chance to communitcate. In Japan, this kind of gethering lunch is only twice, they used food tickets and corporated with restaurants near the conference center to let people have more choices on meals.

After the peer lunch, the break out sessions begin. I joined T6-313 Introduce Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, T5-320 Introduce to Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals, also T5-303 Introduce to .Net Framework 3.0 today. Well, although it's little bit hard to hear completely in Japanese session contents, I was managed to get the keypoints throughout demos.

The nice things here at TechEd Japan is that they do give out hands-out (session slides print-outs) to people who join a certain session. this is nice for people for re-gathering the ideas after session, also prevent lots of note-taking while listening to the session. Also they do have direct Japanese interpretation with English speaking sessions. this is really amazing, as Japanese do put lots of efforts on localize foreign contents.

TechEd Japan also got BoF sessions this year. today I joined the DotNetDuke BoF session, which is nice to know people who are dedicating localize and customize DNN at Japan. Also, TechEd Japan prepaired special lounge for MCPs and MVPs to let each group of people have an area to sharing / chatting ideas.

And, seems all the world's local TechEd events are all the same, There Are Food Everywhere!!!
