Silverlight 4, Experiment with Pluggable Navigation and a WCF Data Service

Posted: 27 Feb 2010 06:15 AM PST

Warning – bit of a sketchy post this one so apply a pinch of salt, just an idea I've been toying with… One of the things that I find a bit mind boggling about Silverlight 4 is the new support for pluggable navigation. I wrote about it a little here but...( read more )...(read more)

No Intellisense with VS 2010 RC (and how to fix it)

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 11:47 PM PST

[In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu ] Patrick recently posted about something he found odd when installing the VS 2010 RC – which was that code intellisense for C# wasn't working.  When he pulled up Tools->Options and checked under the Text Editor->C# settings he noticed that the reason Intellisense wasn't working was because his profile had them turned off – and he couldn't understand why it was configured to be off by default: Why does this happen? The above situation occurs because: 1) When you run VS 2010 the first time on a machine that has had VS 2008 installed on it, it asks you if you want to import your existing VS 2008 profile settings...(read more)

Setting up a continuous integration server for a CodePlex project using TeamCity and Mercurial

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 10:39 PM PST

Continuous integration enables developers to have an automated way of validating the quality of their check-ins. A CI server will monitor your version control repository and on every check-in will build the project and at the very least run unit tests. If anything goes wrong (compilation error, failing test, etc.), the server will send e-mail to the team so the developer responsible for the faulty check-in can investigate and fix the problem. It's an automated finger pointer if you will. It's one of those things that seem obviously necessary for any project above a certain size but that is too often neglected. After all, you always run unit tests before you check-in, right? Right? One of the nice things about CI servers is that they are relatively...(read more)

Profilers and ASP.NET

Posted: 26 Feb 2010 01:49 PM PST

There are a lot of different ways to troubleshoot ASP.NET issues.  I have gone over most of the things you can do with a dump that has been captured from the process.  But there is another way to get useful information out of a process and that is by using a profiler. There are a number of profilers that are available for .NET applications.  Some of the more popular ones include (most come from Brads post and there is a good list here as well): Traditional Performance and/or Memory Profilers AutomatedQA AQTime: http://www.automatedqa.com/products/aqtime/index.asp (evaluation version available) Borland Optimizeit: http://www.borland.com/opt_profiler/ (evaluation version available) Compuware DevPartner: http://www.compuware.com...(read more)
