Writing a Silverlight Application Using EntitySpaces is Awesome

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:00:52 GMT

Sometimes you're so busy designing, coding, testing, and supporting a product that you don't take the time to stop and appreciate what you have actually accomplished.

Getting Started with LINQ

Thu, 06 May 2010 15:00:52 GMT

In this we'll continue to discuss how to go about the SQL Server Data Access using various technologies. This post will discuss Microsoft Language Integrated Query, otherwise known as LINQ. I will discuss how it can be used to accomplish the same tasks we have discussed in previous posts. But before that it surely requires a good introduction to start with. LINQ was introduced with .net 3.0 as one of the language enhancements. It uses generics, which was introduced in .net 2.0, thoroughly to accomplish what it was designed to do. LINQ is designed to query virtually any kind of data source which implements IEnumerable<T> interface. It allows you to query the data by emulating the SQL query expressions using any .net language you are comfortable with. Isn't that amazing!!

How to get sql server 2008 intellisense working for schema changes

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 06:23:55 GMT

The new feature "intellisense" added in sql server 2008 is making my life easier. And I am enjoying this feature a lot. But I noticed many times that when we make any changes to DB schema like creating / modifying database objects we don't notice the schema changes in intellisense in the same session. This made me too bad and many times I cursed Microsoft for this inclomplete feature. But after making some research on this, I have found the solution to get ...

Making cross domain web requests in asp.net with medium trust enabled

Sun, 07 Dec 2008 23:52:56 GMT

There could be plenty of reasons that you might need to do a cross domain web request in your application. One could be let's say you want to divert the resource pressure from your server to some third party provider like Amazon S3. In my last post I have mentioned a bit about uploading content using WSE to S3 server. I have also mentioned about the simple library located at www.codeplex.com/threesharp that does not necessarily require you to work in full trust mode.It does simple HttpRequest and only concern for you is to be able get the call though out of your shared hosting.

Expose New Linq Operations from the HashSet<T> Performance Monster

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 23:46:02 GMT

Linq is not just about databases. It's about reading the registry, your hard-disk, or even a list of function pointers to be invoked. Linq is about more event then sets (collections). It's about making tasks easier in many cases and vastly more powerful (and most importantly your code more readable and maintainable at the same time). It's astounding just how fast the HashSet<T> collection is. This post will show how to gain additional power that is fully supported from Microsoft which is often overlooked, yet it can solve some of the hardest problems (especially around performance however don't prematurely optimize!).

MDX Named Sets in SQL Server 2005/2008

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:46:09 GMT

An MDX Named Set is a list of members, based on some pre-defined retrieval logic. You may have a named set that lists your Customers in zip code order or products sold for 2005 in sales order amount. Since an MDX Named Set is simply an MDX expression, you could create a more complex Named Set using other MDX functions like DESCENDANTS to build a list of members from a customer geography, starting at a certain level (Region) down to another level (Market).
