10 things you must do to make your desktop database apps better

Each of these items could be a blog post unto themselves, but I am going to try really hard to not be too verbose and just cover the core of the concept and why you need to do it. Everyone knows that any app driven by data is much more than just the app. In most cases the app without a database doesn’t even function, or fails to function properly. If a database is an integral part of your application, then shouldn’t you be doing all you can to ensure it ... (more)

SmallestDotNet Update - Now with .NET 4 support and an includable JavaScript API - Scott Hanselman

A few years back I wrote a post on the size of the .NET Framework. There's historically been a lot of confusion on the site of the .NET Framework. If you search around on the web for ".NET Framework" or ".NET Framework Redistributable" you'll often get a link to a 200 meg download. That download is the complete offline thing that developers redistribute when they want to install the .NET Framework on any kind of machine without an internet connection.The .NET 3.5 Client Profile is more like 28 megs and...

There are also some simple code listings illustrating different aspects of the transactional model. A transaction is a series of operations performed as a single unit of work. Entity Framework transactions are a part of its internal architecture. The SaveChanges method operates within a transaction and saves results of the work. It is designed to ensure data integrity.

What’s so good about OpenRasta?

I’ve been proclaiming the greatness of OpenRasta to anyone unfortunate to start talking to me about web development recently. I thought it was about time that I recorded the reasons I love it so much somewhere everyone can see. OpenRasta is by no means a finished product but it has principles at its core that I value greatly and give it massive potential. (more)

Why breakpoints do not get hit when targeting x86 on Windows 7 x64? | Samuel Moura's DevUX

I am currently working on a fully managed WPF application, that references a certified C# DLL that was purposely compiled targeting x86 platform (part of the certification process I think).

Show data from list by using web services through SharePoint designer

When working on big SharePoint projects we will get really good requirements and most of them are the challenging.

So, when through program we want to add a list item to the document library then we need to collect the uploaded file and the meta data i.e. the list of columns data. So on the custom form of the document library we need to add ASP.NET controls for file upload and for all the other col... (more)
