MSDN TV: First Look at ADO.NET 2.0 04/15/2004 06:30 PM
ADO.NET 2.0 extends and enhances ADO.NET in multiple directions. A faster disconnected stack, a cleaned-up programming model, including support for provider-independent applications, and support for the latest SQL Server 2005 features are a few of the new cool stuff we’re adding in the next release. This quick peek at ADO.NET covers some of the disconnected stack enhancements, shows what the new provider-independent model looks like and briefly covers the new batching support in the connected stack.

Just because someone wants to record a program off of TV does not mean that they have an intention of trying to go behind their back to resell it or do other evil, illegal things with that content. And why bother adding USB and Firewire ports if there is no intention of allows users to have access to backing up their media content?…

Thanks Rob Scoble. "The trouble, as it were, started on June 13. We were mentioned by Joel Spolsky's blog, in an entry titled "How Microsoft Lost the API War." Steve Toub, our technical editor, sent the link around to everyone in the office. It was on my "to do" list on Monday. But I didn't have that much time to actually go read it before all hell broke loose. I started getting IMs asking me about my camp. Was it sleepaway? Who were the counselors? I had no idea what was going on, so I asked one of these wiseacres and I was pointed to Joel's article. "

MSDN: A Look Back and a Look Ahead

MSDN: A Look Back and a Look Ahead 11/14/2003 11:31 AM
One day you're sitting there, making plans for the summer. Maybe a weekend at the beach house, lazy afternoons by the pool, languid days spent picking wildflowers in the bountiful meadow surrounding our new offices in midtown Manhattan. And then the next day, you turn around and find out that there was no summer. It never got above 56 degrees, it rained every day, the pool was broken, whenever you flushed the beach house toilets the sink overflowed with sea water, and the wildflowers (which were admittedly quite nice because of all the rain) were off limits due to an infestation of West Nile virus-carrying mosquitos, which were there because it rained every day. Then we had to board up the meadow because of the hurricane that never made it this far north. And before we could even unpack our sweaters, we looked up and realized that we're putting the last issue of the year to bed.

• Ego Shooter in 96kb

  Peter Koen writes:
  Beta 1 of kkrieger, an ego-shooter doom3 like game in 96kb has been released this weekend:
  This games needs DirectX 9.0, and a high-end graphicscard (Pixelshaders)! Everything has been done with Visual C++ and x86 Assembler!
  
  Take note that the game requires Pixel Shaders 1.3 to run.
  System requirements listed are:
  

  • A 1.5GHz Pentium3/Athlon or faster.
  • 512MB of RAM (or more)
  • A Geforce 4 Ti (or higher) or ATI Radeon 8500 (or higher) graphics card supporting pixel shaders 1.3, preferably with 128MB or more of VRAM.
  • Some kind of sound hardware
  • DirectX 9.0b

• Paranoia

  As noted in a previous "blogsicle", I have a strange habit of wasting countless hours browsing Slashdot comments, alternating between abject horror and mild amusement at the outlandish things people post there.
  
  Two things that are said time and time again about Windows are:
  
  1) In Windows, you have to run as Administrator.
  
  2) In Windows, every file is executable if it has the right extension.
  
  The first claim is of course completely bogus. For better or worse, Windows makes people Administrators by default (otherwise, how would they install software, set the system time, add other users, etc?) but that doesn't mean you have to stay that way. I have been running as a "Normal User" (not even "Power User") for quite some time now (over a year?) on Windows XP with very few problems. Sure, it's a bit of a pain that I have to use RUNAS when I want to go to Windows Update and install a patch, but day to day it does not interrupt my routine. I can browse the web, use Microsoft Office applications, build apps with Visual Studio .NET, play music, and do pretty much whatever I want without any issues.

• Debugger Visualizers on VS 2005 Community Tech Preview

  As promised, an updated Visualizers How-To! My last how-to entry on Visualizers was targeted at the PDC release of Whidbey, as you may (or may not) remember. This time I don't feel the need to cringe at times as I describe the process. :0)
  
  First, a high level overview of Visualizers. Visualizers allow for advanced, customized viewing of data while debugging. Today's data windows have their limitations; text-only, hierarchical, spatially constrained - not the best for viewing an image, for example. Visualizers allow you to create completely custom views using WinForms to best show the data within any managed object. Yes, unfortunately this feature will only available for the managed world.

• UML and DSLs Again

  I’m often asked by audiences, visitors to Microsoft and journalists to explain our position with respect to UML (e.g. VSLive! Interview). Many people who read our views on model driven development, as described in these postings and other places, assume that our emphasis on domain specific (modeling) languages, or DSLs, somehow has put us into an anti-UML position. We want to make it clear that this is not true. While I laughed out loud at some points in Alex Bell’s excellent article in March 2004 ACM Queue called Death By UML Fever, we still agree with many of the points made by Grady Booch in his response. Before UML, there was an unproductive diversity of modeling approaches, and their convergence into UML 1.0 was a significant step forward in using models in software development.

Future MSDN Improvements

-Improved relevance. Our primary investment will be in making the results from your queries better match what you wanted. We're collaborating with MS-Research and Microsoft.com on several strategies coming online this year. -Technology & language filtering. Never want to see Windows CE results? Want to limit your searches to VB? We are working on mining the metadata inside the MSDN Library to enable searches filtered by products, languages, and more. -Improved API lookup. We'll be adding extra weight to search results if a query matches the same keyword that the Visual Studio F1 feature uses to lookup APIs.

Fixing MSDN with Greasemonkey

Fixing MSDN with Greasemonkey 02/01/2005 09:49 PM

Site specific browser customisations have been a a recurring theme on this site over the past six months. Thanks to the ever inventive Aaron Boodman that problem is pretty much solved. Greasemonkey is a plugin for Firefox that lets you create user site customisation scripts (.script.js), easily install them in Firefox and then set which sites they should be run on. Michael Moncur has a handy tutorial on getting started.

I've already found reason to write my first script. For all of its faults, one thing that can be said for Internet Explorer is that its technical documentation runs rings around its competitors. Safari and Opera have virtually no technical documentation at all, while Mozilla's is piecemeal to say the least (let's hope they listen to Jon Udell and Tim Bray). Unfortunately, IE's documentation is hidden away on the always frustrating MSDN. The good stuff is in the HTML and DHTML reference, but information on which versions (and platforms) of IE can cope with which objects is no where to be found.

Or at least that's what I thought, until someone on IRC told me to hover over the event box at the bottom of this page. Nothing happened (in Safari), so I tried Firefox and IE5/Mac. Still nothing, so I viewed source and discovered that the platform information is hidden away in a made-up platinfo attribute on the link and revealed using IE/Windows specific JavaScript. Doh!

A few minutes with Greasemonkey and I had a solution: this user script restricted to URLs matching http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/*. It's not pretty, but it works - and I'm sure it could be made to look quite decent given a little extra effort.

MSDN: The Quest for ASP.NET Scalability

MSDN: The Quest for ASP.NET Scalability 05/26/2004 01:49 PM
A little bit of cross-pollenization never hurt anyone. There's a lot to be learnt from .NET:

At the height of the dot-com boom in the mid-1990's, many companies burst onto the scene as Application Services Providers (ASPs) hoping to capitalize on the wave of Internet success stories, and rake in some loot. Aside from the unfortunate market collapse that followed, ASPs had other issues to deal with such as training staff to effectively build and manage a secure, reliable and highly available operation.

Today, Web-enabling architecture is prevalent, particularly since Web services have become a staple for most applications, and the growing pains of ASPs past are feeding businesses everywhere with a hunger for successful implementations for 24x7 applications. As Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) themes spread across organizations, applications are now reaching wider audiences than ever before. Gone are the days where you can sling some code, ship product, and cross your fingers.

The key points that i see addressed in this article:

1. You need to be able to handle long-running jobs, and you can do that by storing the job in a queue to be handled later by a background process. In the PHP world, this can be implemented by storing a queue of jobs in a database table or shared memory. Then you have a background process monitoring this table for new jobs to run.

2. Distributed processing to spread the load. COM+ is discussed. In PHP, we could use XML-RPC or SOAP to work with a set of distributed servers.

3. And when you have distributed processing, you might need to synchronize distributed transactions. This is something that's difficult to implement in PHP, and it is probably best to structure your design to allow only a single master software to perform data synchronization, instead of allowing multiple masters.

   For example, in the typical PHP-distributed MySQL scenario, you would have one single master database which you write to, and multiple read-only slave databases to which the changes are replicated to.

Evolve Custom Controls in ASP.NET

Evolve Custom Controls in ASP.NET 12/17/2003 12:18 AM
ASP.NET's support for Web controls provides an excellent way to package up commonly used behaviors and deploy them to other developers. But when should you build a control, and when should you just add the behavior to a Web form directly? This article examines this issue, and steps through the evolution of a control from behavior on a Web form to full-fledged control.

Longhorn: Controls and XAML

Longhorn: Controls and XAML 12/18/2003 12:58 AM
Longhorn platform applications typically consist of an Application object and a set of user interface pages that you write in a declarative markup language called XAML. The Application object is a singleton and persists throughout the lifetime of the application. It allows your application logic to handle top-level events and share code and state among pages. The Application object also determines whether the application is a single window application or a navigation application. You typically write each user interface page using a dialect of XML named Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). Each page consists of XAML elements, text nodes, and other components organized in a hierarchical tree. The hierarchical relationship of these components determines how the page renders and behaves. You can also consider a XAML page to be a description of an object model. When the runtime creates the page, it instantiates each of the elements and nodes described in the XAML document and creates an equivalent object model in memory. You can manipulate this object model programmatically—for example, you can add and remove elements and nodes to cause the page to render and behave differently.
