I went on a book binge this week and have had my nose buried in WCF all week. There's a lot of really good stuff out there, but without a doubt, Pro WCF: Practical Microsoft SOA Implementation by Chris Peiris is probably my favorite. Overall, the book is just over 400 pages but the author says quite...
Just as an FYI about this... If you are using the documentation for WSE 3.0 and trying opening it after installing IE7 - you get an error with the following message "Could not complete the operation due to error 80041001" This is a total drag b/c all my other documentation works (well everything but...
As you may know, I'm coauthoring http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-529.asp . In particular, I'm covering the following objectives: Create and configure an XML Web service method. Create a public method. Attach the WebMethodAttribute attribute. Create a OneWay Web method. Configure a Web service...

One new object in the ADO.NET 2.0 Library worth taking a look at is the SqlConnectionStringBuilder . Considering how late it is in the game, you are probably aware of the dangers of Sql Injection Attacks . One the off chance you aren't, let me throw in my two cents and recommend that you familiarize...
There are two new methods for the DataRow object in ADO.NET 2.0 that haven't gotten much coverage but can be quite useful. The two methods are SetAdded and SetModified . I consider myself to be an ADO.NET afficionado and until last week, I wasn't aware of these (yes, lame on my part). I was eating lunch...
Yesterday, to my surprise, there was quite a bit of hype about Biztalk 2006. As far as the marketing hype went, I'll go so far as to say that it was featured almost as prominently as Visual Studio 2005 and Sql Server 2005. There were a few differences though. The main one is that you got a coupon for...
System.Data.FillLoadOption is one of the cool new features of the ADO.NET 2.0 SqlDataAdapter. In the new framework, we have a lot more control over the inner workings of the DataAdapter and hopefully it will shed it's stereotype of being a “Black Box”. Below is the basic workings of it -...
Greetings, It is official - the countdown to launch has begun! During my Tech.Ed keynote this morning, I announced that SQL Server(TM) 2005, Visual Studio ® 2005 and BizTalk ® Server 2006 will launch the week of November 7. This will be the biggest launch ever for these products, and we're...
The idea for Code Camps is really cool. Basically, you have a bunch of developers meet at a Microsoft office and have other developers do in depth code presentations. I had two presentations at the Charlotte code camp which sort of sucked b/c I missed out on some of the other's presentations. Tobin Titus...
I've been finding so much cool sh1t in the newest build of Whidbey that it's hard to keep up. It's really amazing how, when you actually have to build something professionally, you come across so much more than you ever would just tinkering through it. Well, I was editing my web.config file and saw some...
