New commands in SOS for .NET 4.0 Part 1

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 07:21 AM PST

My friend and fellow debugger Brian at http://Kodehoved.dk recently wrote a couple of posts on news with sos for .NET framework 4.0 (in Danish) New SOS Commands in .NET 4 More debugging news in CLR 4 Since Danish, although a beautiful language is probably foreign to most of you I figured I'd write a summary of the new commands in English and add some comments of my own. Loading sos for .NET 4.0 As in 2.0 you will find sos.dll in the framework directory so you can load it in windbg or cdb using the full path .load C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30128\sos.dll You can also use the short hand .loadby method but since the name of the core dll has changed in 4.0, you will no longer load it using .loadby sos mscorwks, instead you can now load...(read more)

Posted: 25 Feb 2010 08:06 PM PST

One important thing to keep in mind when internationalizing your application is that things may not look the same in another language, and I'm not just referring to the text looking different. My app looks like junk! I've seen mixed reports stating that...( read more )...(read more)

The Case for ViewModel

Posted: 01 Mar 2010 01:56 AM PST

One of the comments I got on my last post on view/view model hookup options was the following: I've been a mvvm fan but actually when I see all the hoops to jump through I wonder at times how effective this is So I wanted to take a moment to list what I thought compelled me to adopt the ViewModel pattern of client application development (so much so, that I now feel odd writing Silverlight and sometimes even Ajax apps in any other way). Some will be obvious benefits, especially to those already using MVVM in their everyday development, but I want to throw in a couple that are farther out exploratory ideas that I am thinking about. I'd also love to pursue what it means to make view model more mainstream, so if you've got ideas on...(read more)

Austin Texas The Techie Town

Posted: 28 Feb 2010 10:35 PM PST

If there's one impression that Austin left on me, besides the one that Rudy's "extra moist" barbecue left on my gut, is that it's a developer friendly town. This past week I spent three days in Austin meeting with all sorts of developers and had many great conversations about technology. I met with companies and people with a passion for technology that couldn't be suppressed. Meeting with Dell The reason I was in town was to give a couple of presentations at a mini-conference for Dell employees. On my first day in Austin, the day before the conference, I met with a team working on the next generation of Dell.com . The site is undergoing a large scale rearchitecture based heavily on ASP.NET MVC 2. I fielded some questions on ASP.NET MVC and...(read more)
