1 of 178 | Setting .NET breakpoints in Windbg for applications that crash on startup - I recently received a question from a reader who wanted to know how to set breakpoints in code for applications that crash on startup. The email went like this: I have a .NET app which is crashing upon startup (it even causes DW20.exe to make an appearance). When I open the .NET app in Windbg, I can see exactly what the exception is and where it happens. What I would like to do is put a breakpoint on the method where the exception is being raised so that I can step through it. This is where I'm stuck. I'm familiar with commands such as !name2ee and !bpmd., however, when I load the .NET app, I don't get a chance to set the breakpoint since the exception happens so early in startup......

4 of 178 | A quick walk-through of CLR Integration with SQL Server - This blog post is inspired by a project I've been working on recently. One of the project requirements is writing all the stored procedures and user-defined functions in CLR integration. Although I don't intent to give you the overview of CLR integration in this article, it's not a bad idea to go over the benefits you get from using CLR integration. Stored procedures and user-defined functions/types/aggregates authored in managed code compiles into native code prior to execution, and you can achieve significant performance increases in scenarios where complex computations or business logics are involved. When you create these CLR objects, you can leverage various functions and services CLR ......

5 of 178 | I have a dream! C# Code Completion in Emacs (csense, dabbrev, etc) - No good options here. I know, dabbrev does some neat things. But it pales in comparison to real code completion as you get in Visual Studio, or, I think, even SharpDevelop. I checked out a module called csense that a lone developer hacked together last year. The goal of the project looked simple, focused, valuable: real code completion in Emacs for C# !!! Whoohoo!!!!! but The implementation looks incomplete  There are no docs  I couldn't even figure out how to initially install it nobody is using it; there were 33 downloads and I think I was about 8 of them. I couldn't figure out how to configure it or what the various vars did, without wading in knee deep in......

8 of 178 | LINQ to SQL - Implementing the Repository pattern - I have been working for the past few days to try and figure out how to get LINQ to SQL integrated into my normal nTier environment. I have also been trying to follow along with the general principles of Domain Driven Design but am finding that there are some deficiencies in the current LINQ to SQL implementation that force a few restrictions on how I do things. Let's first look at some of the restrictions Disconnected DataContext My understanding of the LINQ to SQL DataContext is that it prefers to remain open.  The primary reason for this is that its sole purpose in life is to track the state of it's objects.  As you add new objects into your collections, modify existing objects, or del......

9 of 178 | Graffiti CMS | User Entry - We're using Graffiti CMS as our CMS for Coders 4 Charities, a site that we built to spread the word about our charity event coming late April 2008. We needed to implement a registration page, so that developers and charities can register for the event. Graffiti is obviously very powerful and easy to use, but I had a hard time figuring out how to get user entry to work. Here is my fundamental understanding of how things kinda work: When you create a post, Graffiti will create a folder for your post, and create a default.aspx page. If you categorize the post, it will put your new page under the category sub-dir. When your default.aspx page renders, Graffiti will look for a .view file that ......

10 of 178 | Reading Messages for Validation - How do I perform XML validation against an entire message? There is a method to read the body of the message but it's only possible to read headers one at a time. Although it sounds more complicated than it really is, a straightforward way to read an entire message is to write it instead. With the Message interface, you have more flexibility when writing a message to an XmlWriter than when reading from a generated XmlReader. Exchanging the roles of readers and writers is a common trick used in XML processing. Here's a really short example of using an XmlWriter with some seekable storage. I've replaced the validation step with dumping out the contents of the message. Message mes......

14 of 178 | XML namespace declarations in SyndicationFeed objects - Following on the heels of Steve Maine's post about namespaces in Syndication objects (Feeds, items, etc.), I thought it wise to plug the new stuff in PictureServices. At the moment, PictureServices implements SLE (Simple List Extensions), and does a pretty crude job of it at that. Time permitting, I will add more support for field and group customization. For now, it serves as an example more than a carrier grade implementation. In any event, I used extension methods in the following type definition to make it easy to insert the right namespace declarations in the feed:using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.ServiceModel.Syndic......

15 of 178 | Declaring XML Namespaces on a SyndicationFeed - Lots of folks have asked me how to add various XMLism like XML Namespace prefixes to the serialized output of a SyndicationFeed. This is actually easy to do once you know the trick but it's admittedly not the most obvious thing in the world. The thing to remember is that the System.Xml stack treats prefix declarations as special kinds of attributes. If you want to emit an XML namespace declaration of xmlns:contoso=http://schemas.contoso.com you need to emit attribute whose name is the prefix you're declaring (e.g. "contoso"), whose value is the namespace URI that corresponds to the prefix (e.g. 'http://schemas.contoso.com'). This attribute needs to be in the special XML namesp......

17 of 178 | Sharepoint DataFormWebPart overriding the SetDataSourceProperties method - Well firstly - I've got to say this comes off the back of a great Sharepoint MVP and collegue of mine Ishai Sagi. Big THANKS Ishai!!! Typically my experience with the DataFormWebPart has been through the eyes of Sharepoint Designer - open pages with webparts on them and looking at the XML configuration of these parts. It look pretty ugly AND very site/web specific - IDs all over the place etc etc. Ishai the wealth of knowledge came up with this solution - by overriding the SetDataSourceProperties method, you can effectively create a datasource from anywhere!!!! Forgetting the IDs etc that cause all the pain. I've marked the 2 i......

18 of 178 | Integrating BizUnit & LoadGen - I have been setting up some performance tests using LoadGen today and was having a couple of problems where the message sent by LoadGen wasnt working properly and it was a bit of a pain trying to workout the cause of the problem. After 10 minutes I thought hang on ive got BizUnit tests which do exactly what I want except that I just want to run them a lot of times.  This made me think back to something Ewan Fairweather said back at TechEd Barcelona about potentially integrating LoadGen and BizUnit.  A bit of a google didnt bring up many results so I have a look at writing my own transport provider for LoadGen. This was very easy. I started off by creating a new C# project and added the f......

23 of 178 | Data Interpolation with SPLINE in C# - Often, when dealing with mathematical models for hazard estimation, one has to make the most out of just a handful of experimental data, and try to extract a rule or a behavioural function. While the use of lookup charts printed on paper may sometimes be a viable option, we won’t be able to rely on it when we want to implement a software solution. When this is the case, soft-computing may look like the perfect solution; neural networks can process data, learn their trend, and elaborate new samples to fill the gaps; but this would involve a considerable use of computational resources (and a lot more time). So, how can we find a good compromise? A simple and fast solution for the approxim......

24 of 178 | Producing XHTML using XSLT in .NET - Producing XHTML using XSLT 1.0 processor is tough (no wonder - XSLT 1.0 is so old - it was published even before XHTML 1.0). While XHTML is just XML, XHTML spec defines a set of very specific formatting rules called "HTML Compatibility Guidelines". The goal is to facilitate rendering of XHTML by HTML browsers (such as Internet Explorer :). The guidelines say for instance that elements with non-empty content model (such as <p>) must never be serialized in minimized form (<p />), while elements with empty content model (such as <br>) must never be serialized in full form (<br></br>). While XML doesn't care about such nonsense, HTML brow......

29 of 178 | HOW TO: Pipeline XSLT Transformations in .NET 2.0 Applications - I mean pre-XProc XSLT pipeline - just when you need to transform an XML document by a sequence of XSLT stylesheets - output from the first transformation goes as input to the second one and so on. This is useful technique helping dramatically simplify your complex multi-stage XSLT stylesheets. Unfortunately there is no simple way to perform such task effectively in .NET 2.0. Here I show you how Mvp.Xml project comes to the rescue. Note: there is old crappy Microsoft KB article 320847 suggesting pipelining XSLT via byte buffer, Bleh!, don't do this. The problem is that while the most efficient (fastest, taking less memory) XML store for doing XSLT transform......

30 of 178 | To Trust, or Not to Trust? - Validation of an XML document against an Xml Schema guarantees that the structure and content of the xml conforms to the types defined in the schema. Does this mean that we automatically elevate the trust level of a document that has passed schema validation? Can we use schema validation as a security layer to our application?   The general recommendation is that validation of an xml document should not preclude the need for secure coding practices in the application that consumes the validated data.  That being the case, we know of applications where length facets are used to ensure that a input parameter is not longer than the specified length, pattern facets are used to verif......

34 of 178 | Streaming with LINQ to XML - Part 1 - This is the first of a multi-post series on how to use LINQ to XML in scenarios that require streaming over a large input and/or output data source rather than loading a document into memory, processing it, and saving it. A considerable number of XML users are faced with a dilemma: they are asked to process very large data sources, but their tools (such as DOM and XSLT) assume that the data can be loaded into an in-memory tree. The option of simply writing smaller files may not be available or appropriate. For example, XML is increasingly used as a format for database dumps and logfiles which are intrinsically large. The only currently supported option  in the .NET environment is to u......

35 of 178 | The new LINQ to XML “Bridge Classes” to System.Xml - In a previous post we presented an overview of the XML Features in the "Orcas" Community Technology Preview. This post gives some more details and examples for what we call the "bridge classes" that let one use other System.Xml APIs over a LINQ to XML tree. For example, LINQ to XML users can now create a tree in memory with an XmlWriter application or as the output of an XSLT transformation, validate a loaded tree against an XSD schema, use XPath 1.0 to query and XSLT 1.0 to transform the tree, and so forth. Why do this? Can't a developer already do anything with a LINQ query that can be done with XPath? Doesn't the combination of LINQ queries and functional construction do more o......

40 of 178 | Loading XSLT stylesheets embedded into an assembly - the right way - Everybody knows that XSLT stylesheet can be embedded into an assembly by setting in Visual Studio its "BuildAction" property to "Embedded Resource". Such stylesheet then can be loaded using Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream() method. But in fact, this is actually wrong way of loading embedded stylesheets, because once smarty-pants XML developer goes and breaks XSLT stylesheet into modules it suddenly stops working - xsl:import/xsl:include are not compatible with loading stylesheet via  Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(). The right way of loading embedded stylesheets is via XmlResolver. Having custom XmlResolver loading stylesheet from an assembly solves th......
