Sometimes when you have a clean install of Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 the context menu item "Edit WCF Configuration" for a app.config or web.config will not show. The picture above does show the menu item I'm talking about, but you may find that it is not there. Help is at hand: there is... Read More...

Undo pending changes for another user in Team Foundation server
When I picked up on my old project on Codeplex (which runs Team Foundation Server), I found that there were items checked out by another user. Actually, it was me, but on a workspace on a different computer. Shame on me for not checking those files in :$. It turned out that the GUI of Source Code Explorer... Read More...

Reflector fun with System.Web assembly
Earlier this week I gave an Advanced ASP.NET 2.0 for Class-A . The course takes a deep dive into the various services of ASP.NET 2.0. During the preparation for this course I took Reflector for a spin and checked the internals of System.Web.dll. I can really recommend doing so, if you want to find out... Read More...

Bitslapping contest : LX vs Compile on Test integration in VS2005
Round 3: LX on offense, compile still recovering See the previous rounds ( 1a , 1b , 2a , 2b ) in this bitslap. Dennis is pretty harsh on not giving me any points for great punches. The way he talks he can sell a refrigerator to an eskimo. 1. One stop shop VS2005 offers you a single GUI to work from... Read More...

WebDev.WebServer for easy website hosting
Visual Studio 2005 Websites and Web Application projects use the ASP.NET Development Server as a light-weight web server to host the websites. Pretty easy, but sometimes you need to host one or more websites and don't feel like starting a full-blown VS2005 instance just for that. And adding a Web Share... Read More...

SourceSafe 2005 over the Internet
The 2005 version of Visual SourceSafe is capable of connections over the Internet. Very handy if you, like myself, have the need to access your code repository while on the move. To use this yourself, you should first configure your code repository server and web server for VSS Internet access. Read... Read More...

Are you my type?
The 15th episode of the Dutch .NET Magazine has dropped in the mailbox at Class-A just a moment ago. Inside are many great articles. There is also an article (I dare not say "one of them") written by Stefan Onderstal from Qurius and myself. The article focusses on the problem of the default use of the... Read More...

Learn to use "keyboard only" when programming
Loads of time I see fellow programmers and students of mine struggle with both the keyboard and the mouse when they are programming. Useful at first, but it will slow you down in the end. I’ve tried to adopt a “keyboard only” mode when programming. Meaning that I will only reach for the mouse when really... Read More...

Bitslapping contest: LX vs compile on Test integration in VS2005
Round 1: compile offense, LX defending Colleague Dennis (irl, compile in CS and WoW ) tries to give a few punches . He thinks that NUnit is a better testing framework than the one supplied by VS2005 (Team Edition for Developers, Testers and the Team Suite) I can’t do in VS2005 what he can with... Read More...

Fixing the Shared Type Schema Importer Extension for nullable value types
When you add a Web Reference to your project, Visual Studio will also import all schema types defined in the WSDL’s schema section. You can create a schema importer extension (SIE) to influence the way the XSD schema types are mapped to your CLR types. There is a very nice article by Jelle Druyts... Read More...

Localizing a sitemap
ASP.NET 2.0 has a very nice mechanism to localize resources: Explicitly using expressions such as <asp:Label ID="someLabel" Text='<%$ Resources: Common, HelloText %>' ... /> Implictly for all properties marked with the LocalizableAttribute <asp:Label ID="someLabel" meta:ResourceKey="someLabel...
