1 of 4252 | activating fEATURE FOR eACH mYsITE sITE COLLECTION - Recently I had to get a feature activated over all 800 MySite of a Farm. The approach I choose was to generate an xml list of all the MySIte URL's in my farm and use a Windows application to read the XML file and generate the appropriate activation script. a) The step to get all the site collections within the WebApplication hosting MySite is to run the command of stsadm -o enumsites -url http://moss:34078/ >C:\MySiteList.XML . This xml file would include the URL of all mysites in an XML Node. b) Assuming all your mysites are under http://moss:portnumber/sites/personal/, the next thing you need to do is simply load the XML File in an XML domdocument and generate the appropriate activat......

2 of 4252 | Call for Review: Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0) is a Proposed Recommendation - 2008-10-06: The SYMM Working Group has published the Proposed Recommendation of Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL 3.0), pronounced "smile." SMIL 3.0 allows authors to write interactive multimedia presentations. Using SMIL 3.0, an author may describe the temporal behavior of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen. SMIL 3.0 is a modular XML application: its components may be used in other XML formats. SMIL also defines mobile profiles that incorporate features useful within the industry. Comments are welcome through 6 November. Read more about the Synchronized Multimedia Activity. See also W3C......

3 of 4252 | Entity Framework mapping scenarios - One thing I like to get across when I talk about the ADO.NET Entity Framework is that in V1 the Designer does not support all the capabilities of the underlying Entity Data Model (EDM) – and hence you will sometimes need to “roll up your sleeves” and start editing the underlying XML files (CSDL, MSL, SSDL) that make up an EDM. There is a document which will help if you find yourself needing to do this - Entity Framework Supported Mapping Scenarios. Summary: This white paper enumerates the supported mapping scenarios in Entity Framework. It also mentions important design considerations for store schema in order to deal with advanced mapping scenarios. The paper covers off a vari......

4 of 4252 | Enumerating Embedded Resources - On a recent project I used a resource file to store a collection of XML schema files. When validating my XML, I needed to add all the schemas to my XmlDocument object. Instead of hard-coding each schema file's name, I decided to load the resources programmatically. Here's a snippet of the code I ended up with: XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet(); Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); ResourceManager resMan = XmlSchemaResources.ResourceManager; foreach (string resource in assembly.GetManifestResourceNames()) {     if (resource == string.Concat(resMan.BaseName, ".resources"))     {         ResourceReader resReader = new ResourceReader(assembly.G......

5 of 4252 | Managing Web.Config Customizations - I'm back after a long hiatus - international relocations tend to consume a lot of your free time - so it's time to start dusting off some of the many learnings I've had over the past few months... One important topic I've encountered with my current and previous customers is how to manage web.config updates when deploying customizations. If you've been playing around with the Solutions framework, you're probably familiar with the ease of adding SafeControls entries to your web.config via your solution definition file, but what about all those other configuration settings that inevitably come up with SharePoint customizations? In my research, I found three tactics for implementing gen......

6 of 4252 | Not Writing Code is Great - I love writing code. Sometimes, though, not writing code is even better. Less code written means less to test, less to maintain, less to document etc etc. Ben Vincent, Lead Program Manager for Windows Live Calendar, likes to spend his free time pretending to be a developer ;-) Actually, he's going a pretty good job because his pet project, Tassography.com, is looking pretty good in it's latest release. I've been giving Ben some feedback on his code and what's particularly nice is when you can review someone's code and say "hey - that's good code, but why not throw it all away?" In Ben's own words... Thanks to Martin Peck a friend in the UK, I have rewritten the XML layer to speed up the l......

7 of 4252 | Partial Projects - The Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR release introduces two new ways on how to share information between projects, partial projects and composite projects. This blog post will go in to how to use partial projects, composite projects will be discussed in a later post. When we started talking to existing users of the current database project system and the use cases involved it became clear that many had a need to share actual implementation between different database projects. One common scenario we were confronted was is what I will call the "baseline" project. All projects derive from a common set of objects inside a base project. Some users solved this by cop......

8 of 4252 | Q&A: Can I use LINQ with .NET Framework 2.0? - This question from one of my MSDN sessions has stumped me for a while. I know the new language features in Visual Studio 2008 (e.g. LINQ!) are compiler magic which ultimately spits out CLR 2.0 code – but what about the supporting assemblies? Hence… I parked it. Then… I stumble across a solution. LINQBridge (from the author of the excellent LINQPad) is a small 60KB assembly that when combined with the multi-targeting capabilities of Visual Studio 2008 gives the ability to write code which does LINQ to Objects (not XML or SQL) but runs fine on a machine with just the .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Very clever....

10 of 4252 | SMIL 3.0 Reaches Proposed Recommendation - Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (or SMIL) 3.0 has now become a proposed recommendation at the W3C. SMIL hasn’t been widely used, but some of it is widely supported thanks to ACID tests that had the browser vendors put it in. 3.0 has the following goals: Define an XML-based language that allows authors to write interactive multimedia presentations. Using SMIL, an author may describe the temporal behaviour of a multimedia presentation, associate hyperlinks with media objects and describe the layout of the presentation on a screen. Allow reusing of SMIL syntax and semantics in other XML-based languages, in particular those who need to represent timing and sync......

From the article: “I think that C# is becoming one of the first widely adopted multi paradigm programming languages out there. With C# you can do object oriented programming, you can do procedural programming, now you can also do functional programming with a bunch of the extensions we’ve added in C# 3.0. We’re looking at C# 4.0 supporting dynamic programming and so we aim to harvest the best from all of these previously distinct language categ......

To give you some background, the IEAK allows you to deploy customized packages and manage IE settings post deployment within corporations and among Internet Content Providers (ICP) and Internet Service Providers (ISP).

15 of 4252 | ExecuteT4Template MSBuild task: Updated - [Source: http://geekswithblogs.net/EltonStoneman] As Cory pointed out, my original task to execute T4 templates under MSBuild (replacing property markers in the T4 script with evaluated values from the build, see: An MSBuild task to execute T4 templates), fails under MSBuild 3.5. This is down to a change in the object model in the framework. All the useful classes are internal and all the useful properties are private, so they have to be reflected over - which makes my code brittle. I've updated the task as part of a set here: Sixeyed MSBuild tasks, and it now works with either MSBuild 2.0 or 3.5. Another update will be coming soon, to allow you to use named item group values, as well......

Whether you embed SQL in your code, map objects to data via some kind of tool, mash it all up LINQ-style, or go all sci-fi with funky XML-all-the-way-down tools, each approach has a series of trade-offs and compromises that just don’t feel right.

Remember that 3.5 (and 3.0 before it) all have the 2.0 CLR at their core. If you want excessive detail on this, I've got it. Because the 2.0 CLR is the engine underneath and 3.0 and 3.5 are primarily additive*, there's inherently high application compatibility between these releases.
