Consuming an ADO.NET Data Service from Silverlight

When developing Silverlight line of business (LOB) applications we often need to get at some data from a database. There are various ways to do so. One option that is easy to get started with with is creating an ADO.NET Entity Data Model (EDM) and exposing that entity model using an ADO.NET Data Service...

Updated SQL Server Compact Workflow Persistence Service

Yesterday I uploaded a new version of the SQL Server Compact Workflow Persistence Service to code.msdn.com. No major changes this time just two new features to get it more in line with the standard SqlWorkflowPersistenceService. I added a GetAllWorkflows() function that returns all persisted workflow's...

Red Gate to continue development of .NET Reflector

.NET Reflector, by Lutz Roeder, must be one of the most useful tools I have when developing .NET code. Usually it is the first thing I install right after Visual Studio not even waiting until I need it because I know I will. So the big news is that Red Gate, makers of the Ants profiler and lots of other...

SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 released

Steve Lasker just announced that SQL Server Compact 3.5 service pack 1 is released, read his announcement here . They added support for the entity framework, great stuff. And another neat feature is native 64 bits support. No longer do you need to target X86 and use WoW [:0]. Great if you are using my...

CodeCamp 2008

Afgelopen jaar hebben we het eerste CodeCamp in Nederland georganiseerd en dat was een groot succes. De meeste deelnemers vroegen om meer, sommige zelfs om een CodeCamp per kwartaal of een heel weekend lang. Nou hebben we dat laatste nog niet gedaan maar we zijn wel aan de slag gegaan om een nieuw CodeCamp...

Lambda expression simplify code

One of the nice new features in Visual Basic 9 are lambda expressions. They where actually added as one of the underlying pieces for LINQ. But besides enabling LINQ you can use them in all sorts of places. One of the places they really help me is in places where I previously needed to declare a delegate...

SQL Server Compact and 64 bits

The current version of SQL Server Compact has no support for 64 bits computing. While this may seem a problem if you want to deploy you application on a 64 bits version of Windows it really isn't most of the time. In fact if you change your assembly from the default AnyCPU to x86 compatible it will...

How to Download all of Visual Studio 2008 SP1

VS2008 SP1 Beta is quite a package. By default the installation downloads the packages as needed and when needed. Now that is just fine if you only need to install a single machine. But when you need to install multiple, possibly virtual, machines like I have to it just wastes a lot of bandwidth and...

Workflow Persistence Service using SQL Server Compact

As I mentioned previously I was working in a Workflow Persistence Service using SQL Server Compact as the back end store. Now this might not be the best persistence store to use in every application but it has a number of advantages. One of the main advantages is ClickOnce deployment. In the case of...

LINQ to SQL, SQL Compact and the |DataDirectory| macro

As I previously mentioned having the LINQ DataContext create the database if it doesn't exist yet is a cool feature but it isn't perfect. The problem I just ran into was while using the |DataDirectory| macro, something the SqlCeConnection understands and will replace with the directory specified...

LINQ to SQL and creating databases

LINQ to SQL has a really nice feature when making sample and demos in the ability to create the database if it doesn't exist yet. It also has a function called DatabaseExists() to check if a database exists. Both are defined on the DataContext class. string connectionString = @"Data Source=...

On the WF ReceiveActivity and WCF bindings

The new ReceiveActivity and SendActivity that marry Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) are really cool . Getting started is easy because a new Sequential Workflow Service Library, found under WCF instead of Workflow in VS2008, uses nice defaults for everything...

LINQ to SQL and prefetching data

The default behavior with LINQ to SQL is to use deferred loading and works just great most of the time. But sometimes you might just want to load all related data at the same time because you know you are going to need it anyway and it saves a number of round trips to the database. Using the LINQ DataContext...
