I've got a bizarre situation where a call to webresource.axd for some users is failing -- and only some users. Everything is installed on the server, and as far as I can tell it is all setup correctl...
"LINQ in Action", published by Manning, is by far the best book available on Linq, both for those new to Linq and those already following it. The authors, Fabrice Marguerie, Steve Eichert, and...
Do .net 2.0 service pack 1 compiled binaries fail when ran on machines without that service pack? Developers automatically get force-fed .net 2.0 sp1 when we install VS 2008, which doesn't sound...
Its been a very long time since my last post, but here I am again at last. I just started a new job with McKesson this week as an ASP.NET Architect, where I'll be working on internal tools to s...
I almost can't believe the great news that came from MS today. That's right, the ADO.NET Entity Framework has been delayed ! I bet most of you think I'm being sarcastic, but I ...
I've got a small app in production that's been running without a glitch until the other day. It turned out to be a case where the server didn't have enough disk space and nothing mor...
Probably one of the best information sources about .net garbage collection: http://blogs.msdn.com/tess/archive/2007/04/10/net-garbage-collector-popquiz-followup.aspx....
I've had the opportunity lately to work with Hummingbird's Document Management (DM) system on one of my projects at Mimsware. In particular I was tasked to install, configure, and learn ...
The Atlanta Code Camp was today, so I finally got to give my LINQ and O/R Mapping talk that I've been preparing.I tried to have minimal slides so that I could do a deep dive into real code, but I ...
Breaking News: Microsoft is working on having a version of the framework that will run on the Mac! That's right -- Rory broke this story just the other day in his interview with Scott ...
We got to see an IronPython demo in ASP.NET today at the ASPInsiders Summit; some things are NDA, but some things are available now in a CTP. Let me just say that its fantastic to see ASP.NET in this...
I've heard this before, but I'd long since forgotten: MySpace runs ASP.NET. Its easy to miss this since it looks like they are running coldfusion, but the cfm's are in most cases rem...
The ASPInsiders Summit began today with Scott Guthrie's overview of what's happening. Steve Smith already has a good summary of his presentation, so I won't try to repeat it. Instead, let ...
I highly recommend the book ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts in Action by Darren Neimke (Manning Publications). This book assumes you are already experienced with ASP.NET, so it doesn't waste your time...
Its official -- the ASP.NET 2.0 CSS Friendly Control Adapters have finally been released !What are CSS Friendly Control Adapters? Here's what Microsoft says about them:ASP.NET is a great tec...
So first most of the meat was taken out of Vista, and the best of what remains (the poorly named .NET v3.0) runs on XP. Now we find out that we can't use Vista for development, since VS 2003...
I think it makes great sense to rename WinFX to .NET v3.0, but I haven't seen any mention as to whether or not this implies any type of sync with C# 3.0 and LINQ, let alone DLINQ and ADO.NET v3.0 Enti...
There's been yet another series of posts recently that spread some FUD about stored procs and O/R Mapping. I could try to refute the various points one by one, but that's been done before for th...
It seems that the ObjectDataSource control is not as easy to work with as most people had hoped. It also requires far more than is necessary if you are already using an O/R Mapper with your obje...
My ASP.NET Custom Providers presentation and sample code can be downloaded from http://www.WilsonDotNet.com/Downloads/AspNetProviders.aspx. The sample code includes very simple custom providers ...
The Atlanta Code Camp (2006) is scheduled for tomorrow (May 13, 2006) at DeVry University in Decatur (not the MS Offices in Alpharetta). I'm currently scheduled to give my presentation on ASP.NE...
Tim says he doesn't like Live.com -- its slow and its ugly -- and there's just no point in it. I have to say that I agree, but I also think there's an even bigger problem -- Atlas ! Now I'...

Registration for the 2006 Atlanta Code Camp (to be held on May 13) is now open. We're in a larger facility this year, but its still going to "sell out" (it is free though), so don't wait....
Programming SQL Server 2005, by Bill Hamilton, is an excellent book to help developers experienced with MS SQL 2000 to get up to speed on what's new in 2005. First, it is focused squarely toward...
I can't say that I've ever used a nested class myself, but I recently had a problem posted to my forums that involved a nested class and my ORMapper. I tested it myself and concluded that it was...
I'm using the new ASP.NET v2.0 Login control and it works great for me and most other users in both IE and FireFox, but there seems to be a small number of users that cannot get it to work in IE on at...
Greg Young is going to be giving a fascinating presentation on AOP at the Atlanta .NET User's Group on March 27. I'm going to try to make this one since (1) Greg is a great speaker, (2) AOP is r...
Thanks to the Atlanta C# User Group for allowing me to present last night. I'm a terrible speaker, in spite of years of teaching practice (former math professor and grad student before that), so...
Nikos is looking to hire a C# developer to extend two ASP.NET 1.1 applications, both built using the WilsonORMapper and other techniques from WilsonDotNet.Work will be conducted remotely, and payment ...
This month, Paul Wilson will be presenting an Introduction to O/R Mapping. He will cover the concepts and rationale behind O/R Mapping, as well as showing a few examples of the technique in action. Pa...
They said I would never do it -- but I made it to my second user group meeting in the same year -- and in the same month at that! And this was a great one since we had Jeffrey Richter visit us a...

I'm sitting here in the Atlanta VS/SQL 2005 Launch event today -- pretty boring stuff -- even some friends I've talked to that don't have the exposure to it that I've had said the same thing. An...

I'm looking forward to the ASPInsiders Summit next week (October 3 - 5, 2005) at Microsoft in Redmond, arriving late on Sunday, October 2, and leaving back on Thursday, October 6. I'm skipping t...
Here's what I really liked coming out of the PDC this past week: Linq Workflow IIS7 Atlas And's here's a link I like with to tons of Sql Service Broker info. ...
I'm not at the PDC since I instead decided that attending an event at Microsoft in Redmond in a few weeks would be the better use of my time and money, but I have been following things closely. ...
If you're in Atlanta then check out the 2nd free SharePoint training event from the new Atlanta Microsoft Professionals User Group on September 19th, followed by the free hands-on lab on September 20t...
I've enjoyed reading about the new System.Transactions namespace and the easy to use TransactionScope object. But there was always something that I wasn't sure about, and from questions I've rec...
Scott Guthrie's promised post with more details on the VS 2005 web projects is now up. I very much appreciate the new capabilities that the ASP.NET team has worked very hard on. I'm still ...

Why do I complain about the lack of project files in VS 2005 Do I think the sky is falling and that a Beta 3 is needed No, I don't think .NET v2 is going to be a failure, nor do I think there s...
The MS .NET teams have heard some of our pain with nullables and have implemented some post Beta2 changes described here by Soma: After looking at several different workarounds and options, it became...
The MS ASP.NET team has apparently heard some of our pain with web projects no longer having project files in VS 2005 and created another work-around since my last post: Closed by Microsoft on 2005-...
