At MIX11, I presented a session on Script# titled "Script#: Compiling C# to JavaScript" ... and I did a follow up blog post highlighting the key points from the presentation. This blog post covers the Hello World demo, which will show how you can get started with script#, and deploy scripts authored using this approach. It doesn't go into more advanced topics, but hopefully it will also demonstrate a couple of key principles at play: Script# doesn't introduce some new and odd abstract ...

The ASP.NET pipeline allows HTTP modules to plug in into the request processing lifecycle and do work at various stages. For example, output caching, authentication, authorization etc. are all implemented as HTTP modules. However one of the problems is that HTTP modules must be registered in configuration. This is a little painful for writing framework components where an HTTP module is essentially an implementation detail. You don't want every app developer using your framework to have to add ...

In my last post, I described BLinq, or LINQ to Bing, an API that allows you use LINQ to access the Bing search results (ok, so perhaps BLinq was not the best of names, given prior art on that name ... but anyway). I also alluded to .NET RIA Services integration, which I'll cover in this installment. In fact, IQueryable and the LINQ pattern lie at the very heart of .NET RIA Services, in allowing developers to access data in a consistent manner not just on client or server but across client and se ...

As part of validating and playing with some of the extensibility features in .NET RIA Services, I needed to write a LINQ provider. This was also a good opportunity to delve into some of the deeper technical aspects of the IQueryable construct, expression trees and related concepts, which I had not gotten into first-hand until now. For my prototyping, I decided to write a LINQ provider for querying Bing to search for pages and images. This post will focus on using the LINQ provider itself, and se ...

Earlier today, Live Search released a simple REST and JSON-based API for performing search with full flexibility for developers in terms of how to use the results (code named "Silk Road"). The previous API happened to be SOAP-based. Cool (and finally)! Check out the general documentation and the JSON example. In brief, you issue a request to http://api.search.live.net/json.aspx?AppId={appID}&Market=en-US&Query={query_words}&Sources=web, and you get back a JSON structure as ...

In my last post, I blogged about the upcoming C# 4.0 dynamic feature and using it to work with JSON data in a more natural late-bound manner. I also alluded to where I was heading with the idea - issuing calls to REST services through a dynamic interface. Specifically, I was thinking of being able to have a dynamic object represent a proxy to a REST service, and having its encapsulated late-binding behavior turn method calls into actual HTTP requests, serializing parameters into URL query string ...

C# 4.0 features a new dynamic keyword that allows you to mix in a bit of late-bound code in the midst of your otherwise statically typed code. This helps cleanup the string-based programming mess that is a characteristic of late-bound code. In fact, there are a number of scenarios that would benefit from dynamic typing in my opinion in addition to interop with other dynamic code (such as Silverlight talking to the DOM or a .NET app talking to Office automation APIs). For example: Accessing JSON ...
