Structure for Organizing Team Projects
As seen in previous posts, I have just started messing around with Team Foundation Server. My next area of concern is actually how to divide and organize all our current and future .NET solutions and services into Team Projects. As I wrote in a forum post on MSDN: We are gradually moving to a more… Continue reading

Good news about work items
Buck Hodges has some good news about how users are displayed in the RTM version of Team System. Instead of using the actual user name (in my case, “1910”), they will use the Display Name instead (“Ljusberg, Anders”). Sure, I’m starting to remember most peoples user numbers by now, but the “Assigned to” drop down… Continue reading

Team Foundation Server
Another thing I’ve been looking forward to and finally got to do – installing Team Foundation Server. Now, the minimum requirement for a one-server installation is something like “Pentium IV 2.2GHz or better”. Well.. I’ve just completed an installation on a Pentium II 450 MHz box, and so far so good (haven’t played with it… Continue reading

Custom Data Provider (continued)
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been creating a custom data provider using the new Data Provider Model in .NET Framework 2.0. Everything went really smoothly until I wanted to use the DbProviderFactories.GetFactory() method to instantiate my class. I had registered my DbProviderFactory-derived class in machine.config and it was overriding all the abstract… Continue reading

Custom Data Provider

It describes how the Data Provider framwork can be extended with custom data providers and it was one of those reads that made me think “Wow, this .NET stuff is reeally cool!”.… Continue reading

Error 1327 Invalid drive

So imagine my surprise when I get an email from a guy at the Norweigan it department saying that when he tries to install… Continue reading

WinForms best practices
I’m thinking about writing an article (it would be my first) about best practices when developing medium to large WinForm applications. There are just an enormous amount of articles on how to layer your data logic and your application logic, but then when you get to the user interface and you’re not doing web development,… Continue reading

COM+ vs. .NET role-based security
Being the first one to implement a .NET-based architecture at our department of Observer, I’m facing all sorts of issues that I didn’t know and/or didn’t care about a few weeks ago.. One such thing that I found today is that there are two, pretty much completely different, role-based security models that you can use… Continue reading

VSSEMS – a Utility for SourceSafe Administrators
Just found this excellent VSS tool. Among other things, it can import users from a users.txt file into your Source Safe DB which was exactly what I was looking for! Continue reading

More Oracle XMLType
So, in my last post, I told you about the Oracle XMLType and how to add XML data to tables that are based on XML Schemas. Now, storing data is not really that useful if you can’t work with it, and this is where the XMLType really starts to get interesting. I think it’s time… Continue reading
