Create a Line of Business Application using Silverlight 3

A method for abstracting WCF service calls in Silverlight to facilitate reuse and easy re-targeting of services.

An absolute set of coordinates to simplify graphics in .NET.

If we use Ajax or Ajax related controls then we'll find that a lot of script related requests are made to the server. Browser can request two concurrent requests to the server. For example browser may request for an image and while the image is loading the browser may request for an CSS file. But in

This article presents the techniques and caveats of building a 3-tire Azure hosted application using Silverlight 3 (presentation tier), .NET RIA services (business logic and data access), and Windows Azure Table (data storage).

A simple example of how to use the ASP.NET charting control with jQuery.

I decided to take a break yesterday from my efforts toward a new site to "enjoy" a little science project. The short description is that it's a little Silverlight app that I'd like to run out-of-browser, talking to the server via a WCF service. Before I knew it, I felt like there was XML configuration everywhere.

It could have been worse, because I figured I'd use the Entity Framework. I came to my senses realizing that was overkill, and used LINQ to SQL instead (which, by the way, has it's own config quirks when it comes to connection strings). I've been a big fan of what WCF can do, in particular the ability to create various endpoints in different formats, but my use of it has only been in the context of suggesting it to others who have already built stuff with it. Yeah, so I got to learn all about the vast configuration options there.

There are days like this where I feel that XML has been christened the great configurator, able to solve every problem. There are some risks that go along with this, I think, that include a certain brittleness to build processes and more difficult debugging. I mean, exceptions around these things rarely say, "Hey, your config is wrong, stupid!"

And even going beyond my science project, jump in with an IoC framework and find yourself in even more XML configuration hell. (Insert Ninject plug here... awesome stuff.) It gets to be a little out of control.

I wonder how we got to this point. I wonder if ultimate control via XML is actually more trouble than it's worth. My gut is that for 90% of development work done worldwide, it's totally not necessary. That makes me wonder why I'm chasing it around today.

Lets talk about memory management in practical sense. While we do programming, we often do use of memory in excess of what we need. Generally memory is cheap when you are working with Desktop applications, but while you are doing an ASP.NET application that handles lots of memory of server, excess u

Develop the Mastermind Game using .NET Compact Framework

Combine a .NET math library and a .NET dynamic programming language to create a Matlab/Mathematica-like interactive environment for math and data analysis.

Transactions has typically been one of the aspects that the WS-* followers continuously point out as one of the weaknesses of the REST model. Even though we all agree that atomic transactions in distributed systems are JUST A BAD IDEA and everybody that follows Werner Vogels's lectures knows that the eventually consistent model is the way to go, we can't deny that transactions (conceptually) are an important part of everyday's business processes. However, let's just all be on an agreement that conceptual...(read more)

PC World - Microsoft recently announced that its next Office suite will have a free online counterpart. It also just released Silverlight 3.0, which competes directly with Adobe Flash. While each of these products is competitive in its own right, they’re collectively part of a strategy by Microsoft to protect the future of Windows.

Silverlight 3 and associated developer tools have been released!  Visit the Silverlight Community site to download all you need to build great Web experiences with Silverlight 3. You can also learn more by watching the new videos, reviewing the Quickstarts or reading about some success stories and what is new in Silverlight 3.

I’d like to introduce you to WikiPlex, which is CodePlex’s wiki engine that we have re-written and made open source under the MS-PL license. I’m also happy to announce that our first public release is now available! Read more about WikiPlex here!
