| The Latest from .NET Meanderings | MORE | | The Architecture of WCF In these situations we can use metadata in the form of WSDL or WS-MetadataExchange to provide the client with a description of the endpoint which tools (Add Service Reference in Visual Studio and svcutil.exe from the command line) can consume and build the necessary code and configuration to invoke the service.

WCF, as of 4.5, DevelopMentor Courses - Sunday, April 7, 2013 Visual Studio 2010 Power Tools The Visual Studio 2010 Power Tools have just been released. Of course I don’t use Resharper or CodeRush (I use too many machines I don’t control to become dependent on them) so some of these features may be available in those tools. But for me the power tools are a welcome addition to the IDE. There’s all sorts of goodness in here: new flexible tab handling in the VS shell (vertical tab groups, tabs grouped by project, dropping of rarely used tabs, etc); a new searchable Add Reference dialog; new editor enhancements to make navigation easier and much more. .NET Meanderings - Monday, June 7, 2010 EF4 Self Tracking Entities – the new DataSet? For this reason STEs have been touted as a powerful tool in n-tier based architectures. A while back I wrote a blog post about DataSets and why you shouldn’t use them on service boundaries. The fundamental issues are: No non-.NET NET client has any idea what the data looks like you are sending them. Hidden, non essential data is being passes up and down the wire. Your client gets coupled to the shape of your data (usually a product of the Data Access Layer). So when I saw that Entity Framework 4.0 The client, and the entities, remain ignorant of the persistence model.

of their tool. The major stumbling block in the WCF world has been there is no tool that can take a WSDL document and generate the skeleton of a service that implements the defined contract. Finally we have a released tool that does this very thing in the shape of WSCF Blue. I had a lucky coincidence while speaking at Software Architect 2009. Four hours before I gave a talk on Contract First Design with WCF the WSCF Blue guys released version 1.0 WSCF Blue solves a problem that has been there since WCF 3.0 and the great thing is that its free – being release on codeplex. .NET Meanderings - Friday, October 2, 2009 - WSCF Blue goes into Beta
One of the frustrations with the current WCF tooling is that, although I can generate the client proxy code from a WSDL document I cannot generate the server side skeleton that matches the WSDL. Fortunately the WSCF (Web Service Contract First) guys have finally released a beta of a WCF compatible version of their tool that allows you to build up a model of the service and then generate the client and/or service. In situations where two parties agree a contract based on WSDL this makes implementing the service side error prone. Here’s Santosh’s announcement. .NET Meanderings - Saturday, July 4, 2009 - Speaking at DevWeek 09
Along the way we will see the major features of WF that make it a very powerful tool in your toolkit, removing the need for you to write a lot of complex plumbing. At the same time Oslo introduces a modelling platform that can be used to model these workflow services and the application around them using a repository, modelling tool and modelling language. I’ll be speaking at DevWeek in a couple of weeks. Doing a normal session and a post conference day. Tuesday 24th March: Introduction to the Windows Workflow Foundation. There are many challenges to writing software. and Oslo. .NET Meanderings - Saturday, March 14, 2009 - A Tale of Two Reader/Writer Locks
The simplest tool in the.NET Framework is the Monitor class (encapsulated by the lock statement in C#) that provides mutual exclusion. If you look in the System.Threading namespace you will notice something that looks slightly odd: there are a pair of classes ReaderWriterLock and ReaderWriterLockSlim. What are these for and why are there two of them? Whenever you have multiple threads there is a need to protect state shared between them from corruption. In other words, only one thread at a time can acquire it and anyone else trying to acquire it blocks until the first thread releases it. .NET Meanderings - Monday, March 23, 2009 %>

| The Latest from DevelopMentor | MORE | | Agile Clinic: Dear Allan, we have a little problem with Agile. m no fan of Jira, or any other electronic tool but most team use one so nothing odd so far. 'Consider this blog an Agile Clinic. On Friday an e-mail dropped into my mailbox asking if I could help. The sender has graciously agreed to let me share the mail and my advice with you, all anonymously of course… The sender is new to the team, new to the company, they are developing a custom web app for a client, i.e. they are an ESP or consultancy. the Developers work in sprints, estimating tasks in JIRA as they go. Sprints last three weeks, including planning, development and testing. Yikes! Allan Kelly's Blog - Sunday, April 28, 2013 A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools Back in the early days, there really were no management tools analogous to RDBMS tools (e.g. It’s time to look around and see what management / monitoring tooling is around these days for MongoDB.

The lack of management tools was hurting MongoDB’s adoption in the early days. The news is good. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Monday, April 22, 2013 Requirements and Specifications Having worked through this I conclude that BDD is an excellent specification tool. Now, while BDD and SbE may well give Developers first class specification tools these tools should not be mistaken for requirements tools and shouldn’t be used as such. 'As I was saying in my last blog, I’m preparing for a talk at Skills Matter entitled: “Business Analyst, Product Manager, Product Owner, Spy!” which I should just have entitled it “Requirements: Whose job are they anyway?” and so I’ve been giving a lot of thought to requirements. So I turned to my bookshelves…. nothing. Allan Kelly's Blog - Monday, April 15, 2013 | -
| The Best from DevelopMentor | MORE | - Building Windows Machines in Amazon EC2
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Tags: Articles Tools In this article I'm going to give you a simple, step-by-step overview of how to create a Windows 2008 server image in Amazon's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) infrastructure. Now I must admit I'd rather have found a good tutorial on The Internets or even in a book. Feel free to send me any I missed. My experience is they are either dated or about Linux and so on. First, briefly why does one care about EC2? Here we go. Create an Account. Enable EC2 Features. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Saturday, January 30, 2010 - The NoSQL Movement, LINQ, and MongoDB - Oh My!
The NoSQL movement asks the question: “Is the relational database (RDBMS) always the right tool for data storage and data access?”. You may have to run a transformation tool if you’re making radical data changes, but that’s true in SQL systems as well. To get started, download MongoDB the tools and server here: [link]. Generally I look down upon that sort of development, but for an admin tool it’s just fine. All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Insanity!” Flat files? Related classes? Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 11 Killer Open Source Projects I Found with NuGet
All information, source code, and especially tools are provided as is and on a "use at your own risk" basis. Articles ASP.NET NoSQL Open Source Tools Visual StudioSo maybe I'm late to the party, but I recently started playing with NuGet. It's a killer new way to find, install, maintain, and manage references to open source libraries in Visual Studio 2010. Plenty of people have written about it ( Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman for example). Let's just say you should learn about NuGet if you don't know it already. RazorEngine at [link]. YUI Compressor for.Net at [link]. Here you go. Michael C. Kennedy's Weblog - Wednesday, January 19, 2011 - A Roundup of MongoDB Management Tools

Power Tools making it even easier to do Code First development with an existing database. The EF team at Microsoft just release a first CTP of the EF 4.1 Guess it isn’t really code first in that case but database first I did a quick test with an existing database, Northwind to be exact, and it worked pretty well. The only gotcha is you have to make sure the EF4.1 assemblies are available in your project otherwise you will receive the exception below. Adding Ef4.1 is easy though, just download the installer and install them or even better, just add a package reference using NuGet. Enjoy! The Problem Solver - Thursday, May 19, 2011 %>
