• ADO.NET vNext First CTP!

  My co-worker Steve sure will be excited by the arrivial of the first CTP BITS (as am I)! The specs were promising as I commented on. I am excited to dive into the bits now! I just looked at my installed bits and it includes an updated August 2006 document on the ADO.NET Entity Framwork as well as some samples and how to write new code. More as I play... Note: LINQ May CTP required. "ADO.NET vNext CTP" requires "Microsoft Visual Studio Code Name 'Orcas' Language-Integrated Query, May 2006 Community Technology Preview" (LINQ May 2006 CTP) to be installed. "LINQ May 2006 CTP" is available for download at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1e902c21-340c-4d13-9f04-70eb5e3dceea&displaylang=en Technorati Tags: LINQ , ADO.NET , Longhorn , Microsoft Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it!

John Lam talks about why Ruby (and a little bit about RubyCLR), on NET Rocks . LINQ/Data Daniel Cazzulino on how upcoming C# 3.0 features can be used to provide a strongly typed reflection API .

His list really simplifies it down and there looks like only one change that may affect most people Update: Well now it seems that there is indeed a list of breaking changes Kennyw on the Effect of OneWay on Operations Technorati Tags: SOA , WCF , Windows Communication Foundation , Ruby , Ruby on Rails , OR/M , LINQ , ADO.NET Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it!

• July Web Service Factory and Smart Client BAT is Out!

  Both the July drop of the Web Service Factory or Service BAT is out and the June SCBAT are out. I am super excited about this as it is nearing V1 and we are using both of these in production code. I have been blogging about the Service Bat since the begining . I talked about my SCBAT experiences here and that the SCBAT has helped us reduce our UI and CAB costs 5 to 1. Remember to install the the new June 2006 release of the Guidance Automation Extensions and Toolkit , first! A couple of real cool things on the Services BAT according to Tom : The installation process has been streamlined And the biggest news is that the Service Factory now has a brand new guidance package dedicated to helping you build data access layers using ADO.NET 2.0. The goal of this guidance was not to be an object-relational mapping framework or an entirely new approach to data access. Instead it's designed to take out some of the repetitive and error-prone work of creating a data access layer by hand, by helping to create some (but not all) of the key classes used in a data access layer. Most of you are probably already aware that the choice of available technologies for building data access layers will be changing significantly in the future with the advent of LINQ to ADO.NET . We're already working with these teams to start planning for these technologies, and we'll be publishing samples that show how the Service Factory guidance will look in a LINQ to ADO.NET world. I said this in all three of my recent INETA talks: PAG is the best group in Microsoft right now.
