I'm proficient with .Net, but my PS skills are lacking. I can fumble my way through a script, but it's tedious. I'm looking for a book/website that will help me grok how and why PS works. Not just examples of "do this or that". But understanding the core of PS. I have the book "CLR via C#"...

I'm a .net developer spending most of my time inside VS. I want to automate my deployment process and working on a script to deploy a windows service. I need to be able to configure the account/password which runs the service. so far I have sc config MyService obj= domain\account password=...

This is escaping me, and I don't work with metadata enough to connect the dots. here is the setup interface IListener<T> { void Handle(T message); } class Presenter : BaseClass , IAnotherInterface , IListener<This> , IListener<That> { public void Handle(This message) {...

I have a FP 2.5a system. for the most part it runs without any major problems. The system runs on virtual Windows 98 machines. the files and tables are on the network (WS2K3) and foxpro is local on the 98 machine. Lately the system will hang if we try to print invoices (a report). I haven't...

I watched a great presentation this morning by Udi Dahan on command query responsibility separation. In it he covers: 1. the history of electronic UI/storage 2. what users expect today 3. why most of our design concepts have not evolved to match the business need. The biggest idea turned on...

This isn't related to c#, but there isn't a VS forum. some time last week I lost my color coding and intelisense in my app/web.config files and NHibernate mapping files. instead of the red/blue text coloring with XSD support of nodes/attributes I get black text on white background. it treats it...

While karl's Webforms Rant starts off strong and ends strong, the body gets a little whiny. I post it here because I'm convinced most .net devs don't realize there are alternatives to webforms. I do agree with karl's point (albeit the delivery is weak). Webforms will always be more complicated...

Apparently the site was just launched this week. Rob and James are producing regular content to help developers hone their craft. They appear to be covering anything from concepts and patterns to specific frameworks and tools. Right now they are focusing on .net technologies as this is there...

i'm finally getting serious about client side code. using jquery as my framework. I have an ajax request returning json. all is great, except dates are strings (example [\/Date(1198904400000-0500)\/]), not dates. googling shows this is expected. what I haven't found is a way to parse the json...

jeffrey palermo has started a great series on what he dubs the Onion Architecture part 1 part 2 I love that someone was able to put this into words which can be digestable to the masses. I found the most meanful nugget is the idea that a database is an infrastructure detail; not part of the...
