Free Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in(mindscape.co.nz)

submitted by AndrewPeters(1170) 3 years, 9 months ago

The Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in (sexy name we know, but hey, it’s self documenting) is a free Tool Window add-in for VS 2008 that provides a Windows Explorer style file system view. It’s particularly useful for performing routine file system tasks without the need to “context switch” away from Visual Studio, which can be time-consuming over the course of days and weeks. It is shell-enabled so extensions like TortoiseSVN work too. read more...

Introducing LINQ to LightSpeed(mindscape.co.nz)

submitted by turtlespin(634) 3 years, 11 months ago

LightSpeed 2 incorporates LINQ (Language Integrated Query) support. LINQ to LightSpeed means that if you know LINQ, you can get these benefits without having to learn a new API. You can continue to write LINQ queries as if against LINQ to SQL or another LINQ provider, but you’ll get database independence (effectively LightSpeed gives you LINQ to Oracle, LINQ to MySQL, LINQ to PostgreSQL and LINQ to SQLite as well as LINQ to SQL Server, all in the one box), advanced eager loading functionality (avoiding the so-called “n+1” problem which affects some LINQ implementations) and of course the blazingly fast LightSpeed query engine. read more...

Silverlight 2 Beta2 Released(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 11 months ago

Silverlight 2 Beta2 was released today. Silverlight 2 Beta2 supports a go-live license that allows you to start using and deploying Silverlight 2 for commercial applications. There will be some API changes between Beta2 and the final release, so you should expect that applications you write with Beta2 will need to make some updates when the final release comes out. But we think that these changes will be straight-forward and relatively easy, and that you can begin planning and starting commercial projects now. read more...
