.NET and SQL Server Adventures

   While preparing the last set of upgrades for the no-blog I stumbled upon some strange issues with different technologies. I reasoned that I might help some of you or some poor googling soul by posting about them here...

The Broken Web

The Broken Web
   There is much buzz generated around the so called "web standards", web browsers and the general state of the Web lately. I decided that it is worth adding to the buzz, so that my multi-million reader base will have the opportunity to read my undoubtedly wise words on the subject...

What Is New in C# 3.0 - Part 8 (LINQ to SQL)

   This is the end, beautiful friend, the end. The end of (your) laughter and (my) soft lies. The end of nights we tried to code. The final part of the series. Because this is a series about the new things in the LANGUAGE C# 3.0 and not in Visual Studio 2008 or .NET Framework 3.5 it will end here. Actually this article is also out of scope but it is needed to better demonstrate how the features work in practice.

What Is New in C# 3.0 - Part 6 (Expression Trees)

   After a long delay I am proud (well not really) to present part 6 of the “What Is New in C# 3.0” series. This is arguably the most difficult part of all but you only need to fully understand how expression trees work if you are going to develop LINQ data providers or similar frameworks. I personally am nowhere near to fully understanding how expression trees work but learning the principles they rely on will help you and me use them more effectively.
