  • Congrats to Faisal on his new role on the ADO.NET team

    My good buddy Faisal has moved from MSBuild to ADO.NET . Specifically, he's the Program Manager for LINQ to SQL and the Object Service for Entity Framework. He says you'll hear a lot more from him on these things, but of course if past history is any indication his blogging will be short lived...

  • Microsoft Silverlight

    A lot of people are very excited about Silverlight , the technology that was formerly known as WPF/E. Jesse says it will give Flash a real run for its money because of a better video story (emphasis in original). Unlike Flash, Silverlight (the new name) will support DRM, it supports the industry standard...

  • An Introduction to OpenID

    OpenID, which describes itself as "an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity", has been gaining momentum and getting press in the Identity 2.0 space. The fundamental idea of OpenID is that a URI is necessarily unique and thus a good way to identify users. If you say you...

  • SQL Server installation problems on Vista? (Failed to compile the Managed Object Format)

    I've been having issues installing SQL Server 2005 tools (i.e., Management Studio) on Vista. I know it works because I was able to get it installed on my tablet also running Vista - I just couldn't get it on my desktop. I thought it might be related to SQLEXPRESS installed as part of the VS.NET 2005...

  • SubSonic

    We've been using SubSonic lately, which I first bookmarked from Scott's post . Essentially, the project is an implementation of the ActiveRecords pattern from Ruby on Rails in .NET. Or as the authors describe it, , "a toolset that helps a website build itself". I'm using it on a project I'm working on...

  • If you can read a file, you can copy it

    Raymond reminds us that there is no "Copy" access mask because copying is not a fundamental file operation . Copying a file is just reading it into memory and then writing it out. Once the bytes come off the disk, the file system has no control any more over what the user does with them. Something to...

  • JSON and XML

    Back at the PDC, I mentioned that Microsoft chose JSON over XML in Atlas, its AJAX framework. The debate has reared its head again recently, prompted largely by Tim Bray's post . Tim says that JSON is great for its single intended purpose, "to put structs on the wire." Dare, who used to work on the XML...

  • The Prevalence and Danger of SQL Injection

    Michael Sutton looks at the prevalence of SQL injection vulnerabilities ( via Bruce Schneier ). He tested 708 different servers and found verbose SQL errors on 80 of them (11.3%) - numbers that are not, as Michael says, surprising but are certainly sobering. Michael acknowledges that his method is imperfect...

  • Managing Exceptions in Framework Code

    One of the long-running debates here has been the use of exceptions for managing workflow. This was especially fierce while we were working on the Javascript framework, but it has died down a little in the strongly-typed .NET world. The two major questions are: ... when should should you return false...
