One of my current tasks for a client has been to facilitate the integration between a Java client and a WCF service. The mechanism for doing this is JSON and I have been quite grateful that WCF makes it relatively easy to implement this type of communication. However, there is one area that has been causing some grief for me (and my Java colleagues) that I finally create a workaround for yesterday. The source of my problem starts with the contract used by the WCF service. A number of the method ...

Named after a venerable Canadian national park (due to the overwhelming influence of Canadians on the Microsoft Data team, who are taking over the U.S. one developer at a time), Jasper is one of the incubation projects from the System.Data team introduced at MIX '07. Built on top of the Entity Framework, Jasper provides a set of classes that can easily be used to perform CRUD operations on data. While this doesn't sound particularly exciting when phrased like that, the reality is that the class ...

Microsoft has just released (here) a moderately detailed description of where Team Systems is going over the next 12 months or so. The roadmap also includes the beginnings of the functionality that will be found in the next version of VSTS (code named Rosario). Nothing like a little transparency to get people salivating. :) ...

I’m spending some time at the moment working with Windows Workflow. Specifically, getting the WF engine to drive a state machine for a Web application that uses a Web service as the ‘next state’ determinator. And it’s as much fun as it sounds. I did run into one unexpected problem while working with WF. I had created a workflow and added a number of activities to it. After working with it for a while (including adding some values to the activities), I decided to change th ...

Problem number two I ran into was how to include my newly minted item template into Visual Studio. There are two steps that need to be followed to accomplish this. First, the appropriate ZIP file needs to be placed into the directory located (for me) at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\1033\ItemTemplates. The ZIP file contains the .mht file that I had created, along with a .vstemplate file. The biggest problem I had with this seemingly simple process w ...

I’m in the process of doing some customization to support a new Team Systems project template and I needed to create a new manual test template. It seemed like it should be pretty simple, but I ran into a couple of issues that are blogworthy. I’ll focus on the one described in the title, but there are other posts coming. The instructions that I read on how to create an item template were to create the code needed for the template in Visual Studio and then use the File | Export Templa ...

One of the challenges associated with installing Team Foundation Server in the real world is the hard-coding of some of the ports. Not hard-coding, per se, but the inability to easily modify the assigned ports during the installation process. For example, at the company where I just performed the installation, port 8080 was already being used by some RAID monitoring software. So while the installation process was doing its system check, it balked because port 8080 was already being used. Is ther ...

So long DLinq. Hasta la vista XLinq. You now have new names. And while they are more descriptive, they just don’t have the same ‘cool’ factor for me. Especial since I would have expected ELinq, SLinq and OLinq to have been added. Oh well. http://blogs.msdn.com/somasegar/archive/2006/06/21/641795.aspx ...

If you weren’t listening closely, you might have missed the announcement that the WinFX technologies have been renamed to .NET 3.0. One of the questions I have been fielding frequently here at TechEd is ‘what does .NET 3.0 mean to .NET 2.0 applications’. The answer is ‘nothing’. .NET 3.0 is an additive upgrade for the Framework. That is to say that the actual installation process for .NET 3.0 involves first checking to see if .NET 2.0 is installed. If not, then .NET ...
