With the introduction of the .NET Compact Framework, Microsoft brought all of the advantages of managed code development to mobile applications. Developers already familiar with writing Windows® Forms applications could quickly get up to speed on programming for mobile devices. Version 2.0 of the Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework is now available and with it development has become even easier through the introduction of new tools (like the Device Emulator Manager) and a broadening of its covera... |

“Too many changes spoil the broth”. Does this aphorism perfectly apply to the deluge of hastened .NET framework releases? Today, .NET is deliberated as the most successful and consented development platform in the programming world. But now, with the advent of yet another framework release at the door step, awaiting to be embraced by the tech community, most of us may possibly have qualms regarding its worthiness. Aren’t a lot of us already too satisfied and comfortable with the existing .NET fr... |

It's not that I'm lazy, but it really bothers me to have to manually iterate through all the members of a collection, taking an action on each. I wish I could just tell the collection what to do for each member and let it do the iterating. Well, guess what? On a recent exploration of the Microsoft® .NET Framework, I found just the solution to this and other nagging array and list issues. It turns out that the System.Array and System.Collections.... |

The classic object and component-oriented programming models offer only a single way for clients to call a method: the client issues a call, blocks while the call is in progress, and then continues executing once the method returns. Windows® Communication Foundation (WCF) supports this classic invocation model, but it also provides built-in support for two additional operation types: one-way calls for fire-and-forget operations and duplex callbacks that let the service call back to the client.... |

In the world of connected Web services, security is a central issue. However, transaction handling, reliable messaging, and performance are other issues that present significant challenges. All of these issues are helped by addressing the need for fine-grained, dynamic authorization. In this article, I show you how to engineer an approach for the declarative specification of authorization requirements for individual service endpoints. I deliberately use the verb "engineer" as opposed to craft or... |

As more and more large enterprises use Active Directory®, Microsoft has been investing time and effort to make it simpler to install, deploy, and manage. Devs will see enhancements to the System.DirectoryServices namespace in the NET Framework 2.0. In addition, Microsoft has added two new namespaces under System.DirectoryServices:ActiveDirectory , which provides Active Directory management, and Protocols, which lets you work with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 3.0 and Directory... |

The release of the Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 reshapes the Web services landscape in several interesting, and perhaps confusing, ways. So this month I'm going to field some of the most common questions related to ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX) 2.0, Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0, and Windows® Communication Foundation (WCF), which is part of WinFX®.... |

This article is inspired from Pete O'Hanlon's set of articles which advices about starting up your own company. This is a sum of some points of interest from Pete O'Hanlon's articles presented above and some of my personal experience from starting my own business so far. What I did here is made up a list of topics that helped me out. Personally, sometimes it is easier for me to read a list of gathered reasonings. I hope this post helps someone out! The list below mostly refers to coders. Actuall... |

IronPython is the code name for an implementation of the Python programming language written by the CLR team at Microsoft. IronPython runs on the Microsoft® .NET Framework and supports an interactive console with fully dynamic compilation. It is well integrated with the rest of the .NET Framework and makes all .NET libraries easily available to Python programmers, while maintaining full compatibility with the Python language.
This column will give a brief overview of Python and what sets ... |

The System.Transactions namespace of the Microsoft .NET Framework makes handling transactions much simpler than previous techniques. Some time ago I wrote a Data Points column about how System.Transactions worked with Beta 1 of the Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 and SQL Server™ 2005. Of course, during the release process some features were added and some were dropped; several of the TransactionScopeOptions changed.... |

Q Can you explain how the new ASMX 2.0 support for interfaces works? Which of the attributes go on the interface and which go on the class
Q How can I host an ASMX 2.0 class in a custom application (without using IIS)?
Q What features does WCF provide for developers that ASMX 2.0 and WSE 3.0 don't?
Q Will it be difficult to port ASMX code to Windows Communication Foundation?
Q When should I use WSE with ASMX and when should I use ASMX alone? I'd like to be clearer on this issue.
Q... |

I really enjoyed reading Morgan Skinner's article in the May 2004 issue of MSDN®Magazine covering the new debugger visualizations feature in Visual Studio® 2005 (see Debugging: DataTips, Visualizers and Viewers Make Debugging .NET Code a Breeze). His Hashtable visualizer is also really useful. I know this feature doesn't exist in Visual Studio .NET 2003, but it's just so helpful, I'd love to be able to use something like it now. What are my options? Debugger visualizations are an amazing feature... |

Visual Studio 2005 supports generics well. InteliSense displays correctly the generic types, implementing generic interfaces is just as easy as with non-generic interfaces. The most impressive aspect of support is in the debugger, which displays the correct type arguments information when hovering over generic types. Yes. All the generic collections also support the non-generic collection interfaces, and you can use them as data sources to bind to controls just as with the non-generics collectio... |

A generic type is a type that uses generic type parameters. What is special about generic types is that you code them once, yet you can use them with different parameters. Doing so has significant benefits—you reuse your development and testing efforts, without compromising type safety and performance, and without bloating your code. A generic type parameter is the place holder a generic type uses. Generic type uses two type parameters - K and T, where K is the list's key and T is the type of th... |

Generics are only supported on version 2.0 and above of the Microsoft .NET framework, as well as version 2.0 of the compact framework. Unfortunately, no. Web services have to expose a WSDL-based contract. Such contracts are always limited by the expressiveness of the message format being used. For example, HTTP-GET based web services only support primitive types such as int or string, but not complex types like a DataSet. SOAP-based web services are more capable, but SOAP has no ability to repre... |
