1 of 17510 | All Eyes on the Engineering Windows 7 Blog and more from the Blogosphere - Yes. The Engineering Windows 7 blog is getting a lot of attention.  Robert Scoble blogged about some organizational changes in the Windows Client team that could positively impact Windows 7. He also refers to PDC and the Windows 7 announcements to be made at the conference: "I’m hearing that there’s some very cool stuff that will be shown at the Professional Developer’s Conference (Microsoft’s big developer conference) and that, unlike when Longhorn was shown off, that this stuff will actually be based on shipping code... I’ll see you at the Professional Developer Conference in late October." Even with all the buzz around Windows 7, Cloud Computing and Oslo still are top of mind for d......

2 of 17510 | BizTalk Test Workshop, Cloud Platforms Whitepaper & Jon Flanders in Stockholm - BizTalk Test Workshop I’ll be running the first public delivery of the BizTalk Test Workshop I have been creating on the 18-19th of September in Stockholm. It’s a two-day course that covers an introduction to test strategies, and then looks at applying those strategies to a BizTalk project. Unit testing, stress testing, integration testing, functional testing and user acceptance testing are covered. NUnit, VSTS Test, BizUnit and Load Gen will be used as the main testing tools, with InfoPath and Excel used to drive the user acceptance tests. The course will also look at using other diagnostics tools to examine the performance and reliability of a BizTalk Server solution. I’ve already taught......

6 of 17510 | Manipuler les fichiers Office 2007 avec Open XML et le .NET Framework 3.5 - Le nouveau format des fichiers Word, Excel et Powerpoint 2007 est Open XML. Le .NET Framework 3.5 permet de travailler directement avec ce format grâce à l’espace de nom System.IO.Packaging. Pour faciliter le travail de développement, Microsoft fournit « Open XML Format SDK ». Il s’agit d’une libraire construite sur System.IO.Packaging permettant de créer/manipuler/modifier les fichiers avec des classes de haut niveau et typées. C’est une première version. Une seconde version, beaucoup plus riche en termes de fonctionnalités, est prévue. Il est à noter que pour les applications serveurs, la manipulation des fichiers se fait sans avoir Office installé.   Librairie en ligne : « Welc......

9 of 17510 | Null Strings in ASP.NET Declarative DataSource Updates - I just spent about 15 minutes debugging a problem where a document was getting unexpected nulls where empty strings should have been. Indeed controls like the TextBox have code in them that allows you to set the Text property to null and the TextBox will convert that into an empty string. So it's a bit counterintuitive that the declarative data source works the opposite way by default. When you use a declarative data source to perform a parameterized update that contains string parameters, consider setting ConvertEmptyStringToNull='false' on your <asp:Parameter> elements, because it's true by default! In other words, if a text field contains an empty string, it'll ......

15 of 17510 | ToString() and the underestimated IFormattable ( IFormatPorvider, ICustomFormatter) - Why to use it! - ToString() and the underestimated IFormattable Everyone knows you always should override the ToString() function on you custom objects but most programmers (including me until yesterday) leave it there. But I ran into a problem where I wanted a specific xml representation and a tap separated representation of the same custom object. The "experienced" programmer would just write their own format function. But it felt more old fashion and not quite OO like. And then I read the Tip 5 in the book Effective C# programming - and it change my life again (there is lot's of life changing......

16 of 17510 | Update on My Illustrator Plug-In and Flash to XAML Conversion Tool - Just over three years ago, in July, 2005, I released the first version of my Adobe Illustrator to Avalon/XAML Export Plug-In. The plug-in started off as a weekend project, and it’s since become quite popular. The plug-in is included in most WPF and Silverlight books, and it’s fun to see it referenced when I’m thumbing through new releases at Borders or Barnes & Noble. I hadn’t been watching the download stats, so I checked tonight and was surprised to see that it’s been downloaded over 75,000 times (actually a bit more, but the stats aren’t complete). Even if I only counted the most recent release, that would make it the #1 download on CodePlex. That’s pretty cool. I receive e-mail ab......

17 of 17510 | UX Improvements in IE8 Beta 2 - Scenario1: when you browse the web for some foreign food, you come across words you don't know. You want to find out what do they mean quickly in your own language. Scenario 2: you'd like to keep up with your friends status on Facebook. Instead of going to Facebook homepage and logging in, is there a easier way to subscribe to any update changes and be notified when your friends' change their status automatically? Scenario3: tabbed browsing is a great innovation but it also generates its own usability problems when you have many tabs open at the same time and some of them are from the same domain. Something like the picture below. Don't you wish there's a way they can be grouped! Scen......

18 of 17510 | What's New in Visuall Studio 2008 SP1 ClickOnce Tooling - Here is a post I've been meaning to do for a while, but avoided because there is some MSDN info on it. But a recent question to the forums made me think that maybe it was time to talk about things that were not addressed in the document: what's really new in Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (at least in respect to ClickOnce tooling). But before we start talking about what's new, let's start talking about what's old. One great thing about ClickOnce applications is that the deployment model is very declarative: simply by looking at an XML file, you can earn all sorts of things about the installation. Have you ever tried looking at an MSI file? It's pretty complicated. And that's not a knock: it's comp......

22 of 17510 | XmlSerialization to generate and consume XML - I want to talk about Xml Serialization this month. One of the work I was involved in recently required generation of XML and a I came across this wonderful technology which helps you generate and consume XML seamlessly.   If you are generating XML in a clumsy way using printf containing the XML tags, I would strongly suggest you to look into this technology. Incidetaly this plays well with Linq too. The XML after it is loaded into the object can be parsed with Linq queries. I will write a sample for that soon.     using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Serialization;   namespace Sample {     public cl......

23 of 17510 | BAM Deployment Issue - I discovered a weird problem recently when deploying a BAM definition spreadsheet using the bm.exe program.Basically, I was getting multiple message boxes containing fn_GetString in the title, plus some other blank message boxes until finally the process ended. It looked pretty terminal!The problem turned out to be that on my machine the locale was set to English (United Kingdom) and it looks like the BAM deployment process doesn't like it. The message boxes look like they come from Excel so I guess the BAM Excel spreadsheet macro code is to blame.Changing the locale to English (United States) solved the issue and the bm.exe program was able to export the BAM definition XML successfully fro......

24 of 17510 | BizTalk and SOA - So, it's been a while since I've blogged. Life has been hectic and I'm currently spreading my time between two projects so blog time has been in short supply, even though my blog-to-do list is growing! Anyway, so what is this post all about? It's about where BizTalk fits architecturally within the new "hot" world of Service Oriented Architectures. BizTalk Server, as we know, is a middleware product that enables integration between LOB applications and systems in an EAI scenario and trading partners in a B2B scenario. As part of this broad area of responsibility BizTalk is able to execute business processes that implement complex integration or workflow scenarios, transform data fr......

30 of 17510 | BTS Guys Understand SOA and Contract First - Aaron Skonnard has put up a good post about why BTS developers understand SOA and contract first. This is a hot topic at Solidsoft Towers and James and Duncan certainly have championed this at work for some time.I was talking with James the other day about the ASHX HTTP handler that bypasses all of the unnecessary XML->Object and Object->XML deserialisation and serialisation that goes on. We agreed that as a lightweight 'web service' for BTS running at the core of a SOA architecture it is essential as it reduces the evil of latency that BTS can introduce (due to its primary task of ensuring messages are durable which means trips to SQL Server that could be avoided in a request-respo......

33 of 17510 | Cool XSD Validation Function for Orchestration - As I promised in an earlier post, here's a cool XSD validation function that can be called from within orchestration. Just add to a library - I tend to put it into a BizTalk Utilities library full of useful little functions that complement orchestration (most of which should be provided by the orchestration engine, but that's a rant for another day!).public static void ValidateDocument( XmlDocument businessDocument, string schemaStrongName ){  // Constants  const int PARTS_IN_SCHEMA_STRONG_NAME = 2;  const int PART_CLASS_NAME = 0;  const int PART_QUALIFIED_ASSEMBLY_NAME = 1;  // Parse schema strong name  string[] assemblyNameParts ......

34 of 17510 | DateTime Serialization in BizTalk - Possible Bug? - On a recent project, I came across an interesting issue with assigning the current date and time to a promoted property in a Message Assignment shape. The problem highlighted itself in our Audit database where we were auditing process state changes. The submission date of each audited record appeared to be 1 hour ahead than the current local time (based on GMT with Daylight Savings Time in effect - meaning we are currently +1 to UTC). Our scenario involves writing an audit record from the web site that is initiating the process, then each subsequent audit is performed at various steps within a BizTalk orchestration. Each audit record contains some meta data extracted from the en......

35 of 17510 | Debatching Sql receive adapter resultsets - I spent Friday with a client advising them on some basic design principles, specifically around the use of the Sql receive adapter. It was a fairly simple scenario - extracting data from a SQL Server database, then processing the output messages with some very simple orchestrations. It seemed fairly obvious to me that the easiest way to process the data was to split the output from the receive ...

36 of 17510 | Delivery Notification Doesn't Appear with Specify Now Binding - Now, I don't pretend to understand this, so if someone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it :)I have a web port type defined in orchestration to a OneWay web service. When I create a port based on the web port type and I select Specify Now in the port configuration, then the Delivery Notification property doesn't appear. If I go into the port properties window and change the binding to Specify Later, the Delivery Notification property appears! Change the binding back, and it disappears again! Eh?My guess is that the delivery notification property is implicitly set when using the SOAP adapter (which is the default using a web port type and specifying the binding in the orchestration),......

39 of 17510 | Fed up of deploying BTS assemblies the 'standard' way? - Well, this is a little tip about deploying a BizTalk assembly quickly and easily without having to unbind, undeploy, redeploy, rebind and all that wonderful stuff.If you recompile a BizTalk assembly that does not affect the current bindings then all you need to do is the following: Open a view onto the GAC by clicking Start->Run and then typing assembly Compile BizTalk assembly Drag and drop the compiled assembly from the bin\Development folder (we're developing, right?) into the assembly view window Restart BizTalk NT service from BizTalk Administration snap-in, Services snap-in or the command line using net stop It really is as simple as that!...

40 of 17510 | Hacking files in BizTalk - The previous post on Sql debatching mentioned 'hacking' auto-generated files, something that may alarm some people (though not many, if my experience of developers is anything to go by.) Another example of this is the extraction of primitive values from auto-generated schemas, specifically (in my case) consumed web service responses. As an example, say that you consume a web service that returns...

43 of 17510 | Multiple Activate Receives and Returning Soap Faults Oddity - Imagine a scenario where you have an orchestration exposed as a web service that has two public ports. Each port accepts a message of the same type, but one port is used to send new messages, and the other is used to send update messages. The port type for the port has an access modifier of public, is a request-response port type, plus has a Fault message defined in addition to the request and response messages.In the orchestration, you create a listen shape and then add two activatable receives - one on each branch with one pointing to the request message of the new port, and one to the request message of the update port. So far so good.At this point you're going to want to create a cou......

This allows you to control the flow of input messages - if there's a chance that your sproc is going to ...

47 of 17510 | One-Way Web Methods - I made quite a cool little discovery the other day with OneWay web methods in ASP.NET. When I hooked the web service up to my orchestration, I discovered that BizTalk had actually taken the OneWay interaction style into account and only offered a request message type, rather than both a request and response message type. Many people probably know this already, but I found this to be really cool! How many times have I hooked up a web service with an orchestration and ignored the response because the method does not return any value?! More times than I care to remember......

50 of 17510 | PipelineTesting: XML Assembler and E_FAIL - Fellow BizTalk developer Bram Veldhoen was kind enough to send me some suggestions for a future version of my PipelineTesting library, as well as with a question that could point to a potential bug in the library. The problem basically revolves around consuming a stream returned by the XML Assembler component in a send pipeline when testing under a library. What Bram noticed was that executing the pipeline would seem to work, but trying to read the body part stream of the output message would fail with a ComException with error code 0x8004005 (E_FAIL). I was fairly confident this should've been working, based on my own use of the library, but......
