Recently, I came accross some link from Microsoft that may help other SharePoint developer get up to speed. Here it is…
Enjoy the exploration!
I learned .NET back in 2002 when I read a book about it. However, the book is long gone and .NET has evolved from 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, 3.5. Just around the corner is .NET 4.0. This fast moving set of framework is not easy to pin down.
In this blog, I hope to talk about some of the areas that are not well understood by the beginner and average .net programmer.
I found a great tool for Silverligth 3 at codeplex. It provides a working example of silverlight 3 components. It will definitly shorten the learning curve when it comes to quickly implementing a webpage. Here is the link.
In addition, I found a great new content to get started on the Silverlight toolkit. I hope this helps.
Happy coding…
Yesterday (1/31/09), I attended www.baynetug.org education event held at Hewlett Packard, Cupertino. I attended by volunteering to bring the breakfast from Noah’s Bagels.
I learned a lot about Model View ViewModel (M-V-VM) framework. This is a new Model View Controler framwork coming out of Microsoft. I hope to dive into this new technology that can enhance my productivity as a developer. The M-V-VM ties the best practices in WPF, .NET, Silverlight, etc.

I just found out how to do it and I needed to save the address someplace.
This months MSDN article (April 2008) is very interesting. The article is on page 99, titled “Test Run Testing SQL Stored Procedures Using LINQ,” by Dr. James Mccaffrey. It peaked my interest because I’ve been looking for a sample test harness for LINQ and stored procedures.
I downloaded the sample code at msdn2.microsoft.com/magazine/cc13511. Installed it on my Visual Studio 2008 Pro and tried to run it out of the box. Well, it did not run. It could not connect to the database. So, I looked for the sql script somewhere in the installed files and found it. I was also missing the SQL Server Management Studio Express, so I had to install it to run the sql script. After running the sql script the test run code still does not run because it could not connect to the database. So, I manually connect the database through Visual Studio. It still would not connect. I discovered that my manual connection string is not the same as the code so I went ahead and replace it:
string connString = “server=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=dbMovies;Integrated Security=True”;
Well, the code runs as expected after replacing the connection string. So, I just want to put this blog post out there for other folks that are going to blaze the same path to save them some time. I also sent a note to the author.
