| |  The Common Language Runtime (CLR) — or more precisely any implementation of the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) specification — executes code inside the bounds of a well-defined type system, called the Common Type System (CTS). The CTS is part of the CLI, and is maintained via the ECMA and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) international standards bodies. It defines a set of structures and services that programs targeting the CLR may use, including a rich type system for b... |

| |  Most meaningful software operations are composed of multiple independent steps. Although a single method call, for instance, is often viewed as a logically distinct unit, this is in the eye of the caller. A single method might just execute a single SQL UPDATE statement over 1000 database rows that must be applied by the database atomically. On the other hand, another method might execute a SQL UPDATE statement, manipulate state on a shared COM+ component, and initiate web service message that re... |

| |  Simple tasks that you typically take for granted can be surprisingly complex when you peek under the hood. Method calls are the bread and butter of C# and VB programming, but a lot of moving pieces go into making that all work. In this article, we'll take a quick look at how all of it works. When a method call on the CLR is made, the caller and callee must communicate a set of information with each other. The abstraction that contains this information is called an activation frame. The caller... |

| |  The first version of the .NET Framework (1.0) was released in 2002 to much enthusiasm. The latest version, the .NET Framework 2.0, was introduced in 2005 and is considered a major release of the framework. With each release of the framework, Microsoft has always tried to ensure that there were minimal breaking changes to code developed. Thus far, they have been very successful at this goal.... |

| |  While Visual Studio 2008, the several variations of LINQ, and the ADO.NET Entity Framework are getting a lot of attention in the upcoming .NET Framework 3.5, there are also several key language enhancements on the near horizon. Many of the language enhancements (which will be found in VB 9 and C# 3.0) are the foundation of these more prominent new technologies. This article is a primer for some of the key enhancements that will be introduced with the .NET Framework 3.5 and how they relate to eac... |

| |  Some of the readers of my previous review of the Echo2 framework expressed concern that I didn't write a complex enough application to give it a fair shot. Fair enough, I just finished writing a new web application using the Echo2 framework, complete with input validation and database access using Hibernate for object-relational mapping. This article summarizes my experiences with the Echo2 framework.... |

| |  One of the pleasures of working on the bleeding edge of Windows® is poking around in a new technology to see how it works. I don't really feel comfortable with an operating system until I have a little under-the-hood knowledge. So when the 64-bit editions of Windows XP and Windows Server™ 2003 appeared on the scene, I was all over them. The nice thing about Win64 and the x64 CPU architecture is that they're different enough from their predecessors to be interesting, while not requiring a huge le... |

| |  Over my years of working with clients on building Microsoft® .NET Framework-based applications, I have often heard a common feature request for Visual Studio® .NET: "It would be great if we could create our own project types and item types so that all developers in our organization would have access to them." Many orgs want to create shared templates for projects such as Web sites or for project items, such as a default Web page or forms. Visual Studio 2005 introduces a new model for defining te... |

| |  In my May 2005 column, I discussed contract-first development and appropriate times to use it (see Service Station: Contract-First Service Development). In this second part, I'm going to focus on some techniques for contract-first development within the ASMX framework. I'll look at various tools that come with the Microsoft® .NET Framework and Visual Studio® .NET, as well as some useful third-party tools. I'll also discuss an interesting hybrid technique that offers a nice compromise between int... |

| |  Object oriented programming (and .NET programming in particular) is not a “make it up as you go along” affair. The discipline requires planning and structure. As a result, an indispensable addition to an OO developer's programming toolbox is comprehensive object oriented analysis and design tools that use Unified Modeling Language (UML), the lingua franca of software diagramming languages. Programmers who use these software engineering methodologies consider it important to have modeling product... |

| |  On the conference circuit recently, I was speaking about some of my favorite new features in the Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0, using the content of three recent columns in this series as fodder. In my talk I sped through generics, operator overloading, and the BackgroundWorker component, all in the space of an hour (for the columns, see Advanced Basics: Being Generic Ain't So Bad, Advanced Basics: Calling All Operators, and Advanced Basics: Doing Async the Easy Way). This accomplishment require... |

| |  The Microsoft .NET 2.0 platform introduces a new namespace called System.Transactions that brings in a lightweight, simplified transaction model. This article discusses the shortcomings of current transaction models and introduces System.Transactions for .NET Framework 2.0 beta 2. Currently there are two transaction models available in the .NET world, both of which are suited for certain situations. The first is part of the rich ADO.NET data providers. The second is the enterprise services trans... |

| |  One of the most talked-about features of the next version of the .NET Framework is generics capability. The funny thing is that although generics are extremely useful, they also seem to have a certain mystique about them that cannot be readily explained. Perhaps the fact that VB never supported anything like them, C++ did (templates), and that the C# team seems to have led the way in pushing the addition of this feature has led to the perception that they are an advanced feature that only the el... |
