Using custom grouping operators in LINQ(tomasp.net)

submitted by tomasp(299) 2 years, 3 months ago

In LINQ, we can group data using the "group by" clause. However, there are other potentially useful implementations of grouping. For example, we may want to group only adjacent elements or group ascending or descending parts of the data. This article shows how to use custom behavior when grouping data using "group by" in LINQ query. read more...

After looking over Dustin's code, I liked the simplicity of wrapping any delegate with a single method call. This makes for an academic discussion, but I thought this could be much more practical if we abstracted the concept a bit more. read more...

Windows Azure Drive (aka X-Drive)(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 3 months ago

With today’s release of the Windows Azure Tools and SDK version 1.1, also the Windows Azure Drive feature has been released. Announced at last year’s PDC as X-Drive, which has nothing to do with a well-known German car manufacturer, this new feature enables a Windows Azure application to use existing NTFS APIs to access a durable drive. This allows the Windows Azure application to mount a page blob as a drive letter, such as X:, and enables easily migration of existing NTFS applications to the cloud. This blog post will describe the necessary steps to create and/or mount a virtual hard disk on a Windows Azure role instance. read more...
