I am talking about a new technology in .NET 3.5 called LINQ (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397926(VS.90).aspx).

LINQ stands for Language INtegrated Query. And what that means is you can query data structures in your application much like you would in a database.

There are hundreds of articles about this new technology and I don't need to add my limited knowledge to that pool.

What I will say is it is rare when I use a new programming language feature and just smile. Tha ...More Read More

Not really.

But kinda.

The thing is Google is great. It is efficient and is fast. Easy to use and very functional.

And I constantly am comparing my software to what Google does. Some of our customers also compare the two. This is not fair.

It isn't fair because many reasons.

1. Google has a Google of highly trained engineers with tons of experience. My software has me and my boss.

2. Google has billions of dollars. This means they have millions of servers. Specialized ...More Read More

I might have found the problem I described in an earlier entry. It seems that ASP.NET can switch the threads while processing a page. It is supposed to carry over the context to the new thread. But in advanced scenarios (such as when you spin up new threads or do asynchronous IO) it can be lost.

I didn't think I was doing anything "advanced" but I don't know what the AJAX component is doing. Could be that it does that "bad" stuff.

What I have read that I should use HTTPContext.User in ...More Read More

In Main Category Silverlight Entry Tools Rate This Entry
  #4 New 05-09-2007 11:46 PM
When I first heard of Silverlight is dismissed it out of hand because of my other experiences with Microsoft's cross browser type stuff.

But I am pretty excited about this. I have downloaded the bits and done a few very simple things and I am rather impressed. Some of the demos are rather impressive considering this is aloha and beta stuff.

The developer tools are going to have to get much better. Editing code that is basically just XML text is frustrating for me.

I also find it ...More Read More

I decided to put this in a blog instead of the thread. Figured it would be less inflammatory here.

That is interesting. And I stand corrected.

There is a Taoist saying (or maybe it was Confucian) that goes something like "You want to see truth, then look."

I think that is part, maybe even most, of the problem. Few of us see all of what this issue involves. Much of it is abstracted out and argued over to obtain some other goal th

This one is still unsolved.

Occasionally one user will get another's user data. For example there are assignment types associated with each Section the instructor teaches. Occasionally an instructor will see a list of assignment types from another instructors section.

A bit of background. We are using ASP.NET, IIS6, .NETv2 and AJAX. It is an nTier application and CLSA is the middle tier. We use the single page "model" for the development. This means that when an action is performed th ...More Read More

I just spent four hours figuring out why something was being inadvertently deleted from an application I have developed.

It took six things being a certain way for it to happen. Those six things are

(A session is a period of time for a school year.)

1 One session being added and another removed in the same synchronization period.

2 The start date of the session being removed must have the same start date as the one being added.

3 The end date of the session being added must be ...More Read More
