David , Alex and me just needed to get a load of data from some Excel sheets and work with the data. What's better than to load the data into a DataSet using OleDB and process it using LINQ to DataSets? Make sure you know what the format of your columns is and that the first row in your sheet holds...

For those that are still curious after my previous post about using C# 3.0 features in .NET 2.0 . You can compile any .NET Framework 3.5 project and run it in a .NET Framework 2.0 environment (read, no .NET Framework 3.5 installed) without any problems... as long as there are no dependencies to the ...

Yesterday I wrote an article on the property snippet in Visual Studio 2008 and that it had changed from Visual Studio 2005. Only a few hours later, I questioned myself if even a few people might be interested in this. Not because of the snippet, but because of the abilities that Visual Studio 2008 and...

In .NET Framework 3.5, we've gained automatic properties. Automatic properties are really simple to understand. Instead of writing a full getter and setter with a private field (called a backing field, because it belongs to the property) you just write your property like this. namespace ClassA.Examples...

When Microsoft takes a great idea from someone else, they always enhance it. They call this "borrow and extend". Take tabbed browsing for example, where you can view QuickTabs and get a screen with every open tab in a preview window. It seems other companies also try this, copying our Summer...

Normally I get flooded with messages about stuff like the official release-date for .NET Framework 3.5. But since my Omea Reader database crashed (for the third time, but this time I can't find a solution to get it working again) and I still haven't added a lot of blogs again, the only resource...

As I really enjoyed giving the Summer Classes a few weeks ago, the first ever real .NET 3.5 class world wide, I'm really pleased to announce the Winter Classes. Although the date hasn't even been set, we're planning it around the end of January or start of February. The classes will be the...

The weekend-after has passed and I've slept through most of it. Man did we use up some hours (some nights we went on with the training until 23:00 hours) and especially the last night when we drank past the bar its closing hours and went on in a local pub in Domburg! But of course it wasn't about...

Michele Leroux Bustamante has just posted a lot of links to resources to get you going on .NET 3.5. As her, I can recommend you get started with .NET 3.5 because it rocks! It makes life a lot easier. I'm really starting to miss all the enhancements every time I go all the way back to .NET 2.0 ;-...

I hope in the RTM you'll get more help solving your WCF Ajax problems then I currently get, because I'm getting mad from time to time. In my quest for getting things to work, I learned some stuff I wanted to share. Read: have a checklist for myself because I tend to forget this kind of stuff...

Two things that should've been there since WCF v1. My colleague Alex Thissen already blogged about the WCF Library projects and the service host that comes with it. In beta 2 there's a new test client that'll connect to your service and will show you the available operations, configuration...
