BLinq - Linq to Bing Search APIs

BLinq - Linq to Bing Search APIs


BLinq - Linq to Bing Search APIs

Posted: 22 Aug 2009 10:35 AM PDT

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 seeing it in action, and in my next post I'll tie it all back to .NET RIA Services. I am calling this BLinq. :-) Bing has a new search API that provides you the option of using REST interface (XML or JSON) or a SOAP interface. My LINQ provider provides...(read more)

Still updating my Mix 09 Silverlight 3 + RIA Services talk with more fun stuff.    Azure represents a general trend in the industry towards a cloud computing model. As much as I love the development phase of projects, the operations side is often the most cost intensify part.  With economies of scale, cloud computing has the potential to greatly reduce those costs.  I think example I took advantage of Windows Azure to host the web-tier of the application and Sql Azure to host the data.  Those are actually independent decisions.  You could decide to host one and not the other.  You can see the full series here . The demo requires (all 100% free and always free): VS2008 SP1 Silverlight 3 RTM .NET RIA Services...(read more)
