In this multi parts series I'll explore how to build inheritance with Entity Framework showing 2 different approaches of inheritance in Entity Framework.
Beside that I'll show how to build simple association between 2
entities and show how to provide custom code to retrieve other parts of
the relation when inheritance is applied.
My plan not to exceed
3 parts as the subject is not that huge, it is just the demonstration
with screen shots that will make the post large that is why I divided
it to multi part. I am not good at screen casts beside I don't have a
software license to produce one.

Few weeks ago Dave started the Advanced ASP.NET AJAX Server Controls book giveaway contest. And yesterday he announced that the control is almost completed, but the contest door is still open. So I thought to grape the bits and start testing it and build a simple sample. [View Demo]
The
sample that I am going to demonstrate here will use ASP.NET Create User
Wizard control with UserName Availability Validator. In this sample
I'll show the important properties of this control as well as the
current issues exist.

Amr Elsehemey started to blog about ASP.NET MVC. He picked up a good subject to blog about; Building ASP.NET MVC Blog Engine using ASP.NET MVC and jQuery, he named it "jBlogMvc"
Yesterday he posted his first post in the series, and myself I am
waiting for the rest of the series as for it is going to be very
interesting, because I have couple of ideas in mind.
He is going
to explore the code and posting samples as he developing this simple
blog engine. We have been talking about this subject for few days now,
and really he has some cool ideas to present. Keep tuned with Amr, I am sure he is going to amuse us with some kicking posts just as he did in his Design Time Support post series.
I've been worked with localization and globalization for a while now.
During that period I faced issues and learned many things about the
subject. Here I am going to share some of my own ideas and tips to
avoid falling in certain issues. It worth to mention that I am talking
from GUI point of view and not Application Data point of view.

Last year, Matt posted a cool post about How To: Use the HoverMenuExtender for GridView RowCommands. Last month I got an e-mail from Justin Riggs, he was trying to combine to things. The usage of HoverMenuExtender as described in Matt's post, and the Master\Detail GridView with CollapsiblePanelExtender I posted about few months ago.
I thought to make a repost with few modifications to my sample, and produce another one using CollapsiblePanel and HoverMenu. You can read more about it here. Also you can view demo here
In my previous post I talked about what is not supported in LINQ to Entities and made a simple comparison with LINQ to SQL show that these unsupported things works fine in LINQ to SQL.
In this post I am going to provide workarounds these things. First one will be
wrapping the entities with Business Classes. And the second way will be
using client evaluation which is converting to work with LINQ to
Object. Before you go further, I recommend that you read my previous post to save your time.
