Windows Communication Foundation: Videos

I've been getting a lot of mail feedback about the Workflow Foundation Videos that are linked to from the NetFx3 site so I thought I'd draw together the WCF videos that I made as well in one place (I can't remember whether I've done this before...

A word for WinDbg

Before I came to work at Microsoft I worked as a professional developer on the Microsoft platform and I used to work with the Visual Studio (6 latterly) debugger which I thought was a pretty cool debugger. When I joined Microsoft I found that a lot of people...

LINQ to Video #18

For the initial post, see here . This is the last LINQ to SQL video that I've got at the moment. There's the possibility of exploring new topics (grouping? sorting?) in some future videos but for the minute I've run out of steam :-) Coming next - some videos...

Silverlight and WCF RIA Services (5–Authentication)

It’s a fairly common requirement that a business service authenticates a client and it’s usually (at least) for the purpose of authorisation whereby we can control which users have access to an application or to some of its functionality. The two ways you usually...

A word for WinDbg (2)

Continuing on from the previous post on using WinDbg let’s take what we learnt in that previous post and apply it to managed code. WinDbg supports the debugging of managed code through an extension named SOS.DLL . This is named for esoteric reasons that...

Experimenting with PRISM 4, Silverlight, MEF

In the past I’ve made some screencast videos around PRISM or “Composite Application Guidance” for Silverlight. I’ve also made some screencast videos around the Managed Extensibility Framework in Silverlight . Not so long ago, the PRISM folks announced that...

Silverlight and WCF RIA Services (1 - Overview)

A big part of the Silverlight 4 release is the new WCF RIA Services framework. Its worth pointing out that WCF RIA Services doesn’t only target Silverlight clients – it also targets AJAX clients but I’m sticking with the Silverlight side of the house here....

Silverlight & WPF Control Browser

More than once, I’ve found myself wanting to be able to demonstrate the range of controls that are available for Silverlight and WPF and, today, I ended up in that same place and decided to do something about it. I built a very, very simple WPF application...

Silverlight versus HTML5? Really?

“Someone’s got it in for me, They’re planting stories in the press. Whoever it is I wish they’d cut it quick, but whether they will I can only guess.” “Idiot Wind” , Bob Dylan, 1974 A couple of lines that seemed relevant to me in all the commentary that...

Silverlight 4 Rough Notes: HTML Hosting in the WebBrowser Control

Note – these posts are put together after a short time with Silverlight 4 as a way of providing pointers to some of the new features that Silverlight 4 has to offer. I’m posting these from the PDC as Silverlight 4 is announced for the first time so please bear...

Silverlight and WCF RIA Services (2 – Services)

Following on from the previous post , I thought I’d dig a little more into what makes up a WCF RIA Service DomainService rather than taking the approach that we took in the previous blog post/video where I just added an Entity Framework model and let the tooling...

Silverlight 4, Blend 4, MVVM, Binding, DependencyObject

I was thinking about an aspect of the new MVVM support that Expression Blend 4 has and how ( I think – someone can tell me if I’m wrong ) it all starts with a seemingly small change in data-binding in Silverlight. If I take a ViewModel like this into Expression...

Silverlight and WCF RIA Services (6–Validation)

One of the strengths of WCF RIA Services is in its capabilities around the application of common validation logic on both the client tier and the service tier. If I take the simplest route to create a new Silverlight+RIA Services project as in File | New Project;...

Silverlight and WCF RIA Services (4 – RIA Services Libraries)

I wanted to write a little about some authentication experiments with WCF RIA Services but I got a little distracted on the way and thought I’d write it up a bit of a preamble about the “WCF RIA Services Class Library”. The easiest way of creating a RIA Services...

Reactive Extensions for .NET ( “stuff happens” )

I’ve been taking a look at the Reactive Extensions for .NET. It’s early days for me at this point but I’m finding what I’m seeing to be really interesting. This is code that’s available from the DevLabs; and there are versions for .NET 3.5 Sp1, .NET 4.0, Silverlight...
