Stopwatch snippet
A little snippet that I use from time to time when I need information on how long something takes. Type ‘sw’ (without the quotes) and tab-tab . Installation is easy, just create a file called “sw.snippet” in your %Documents%\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets...
VS2008 DataDude and conditional deployment
This has taken us some time; depending on which environment you are, telling Visual Studio 2008 for Database Professionals Edition (or simply DataDude) what user it should use to deploy the SQL scripts, during an automated build. We're working with...
Programmatically creating an IIS7 site
I'm using FinalBuilder to build and deploy websites on our test server. FinalBuilder is a great product, but our client is using Windows Server 2008 and FinalBuilder does not have actions for IIS7. I might add the actions to my weblog, but here's...
Manual check for updates with ClickOnce
I really love [wikipedia:ClickOnce], because it removes the necessity to build a web application. In my years as a developer, I can't count the projects that were web based, simply because of the deployment model. And then ClickOnce came around. Now...
Mobile development
Two weeks ago Mike Schroepfer, a Mozilla developer, announced that they'll launch a version of Firefox that can be run mobile devices. If you own a Windows Mobile device, you're probably craving for a better browsing experience, just like I am...
Wat zegt Dennis?
I've been a little busy with Mobile Development lately, focusing on Windows Mobile PocketPC and .NET Compact Framework 3.5 development. Mostly because of the Summer Class and Winter Class , and the Mobile Development training for Class-A. I have however...
WCF Simple Example
On my WCF Introduction post I received a trackback to an example that should be really simple to start WCF with. I'm not here to judge the post (although I could ;-), but it got me thinking. Although I created some small posts on how WCF works, together...

WCF Part 7 : Bindings
As I've been pretty busy, it's been a while since my last post in the WCF series. But let's have a look at bindings now. A binding will tell a client what's necessary to connect to the service. In other words, how we connect is described by the binding...
ASP.NET debugging on Vista/IIS7
For some reason, a single project I'm working on wouldn't let the debugger attach to my IIS7 on Vista. I was completely clueless on why this was happening. Great thing is, the problem is solved, it now connects. The problem remaining is, that I'm still...
Visual Studio 2005 Update for Windows Vista Beta
Just recently Service Pack 1 was released ( Beta! ) for Visual Studio 2005. Back then, the Vista update had a link, but it was removed. Miguel blogged that the beta version is online! This update is required because of the security enhancements to Windows...
System.Transactions : ReadUncommitted
Download code & sql scripts here I got a question today about setting the isolationlevel on a transaction to ReadUncommitted. The question was why the transaction still locked the row it was updating, when isolationlevel is set to ReadUncommitted...

Async invocation pattern
I talked to my colleague Alex Thissen recently about the changes in asynchronous invocation of ASP.NET 2.0 webservices. On the web there are a multitude of examples about the old way, but not so many on the new way. But after figuring out what the new...
