Andres Aguiar's Weblog

I'm in Amsterdam, in TechEd's Exhibit Hall. It's my first time here and it looks like a great city. We are in the VSIP Partner Zone, booth B40, so come and say hi!

JetBrains opened an EAP for its Meta Programming System.

We are currently using two code-generation techniques. For the data access and business logic layers, we have a code generator written in Prolog. For the layers on top of that one (i.e, a WS layer or a UI layer) we started using CodeDom and then we switched to an ASP.NET-like template-based code generator engine.

OK, I'm out of Orlando.

I've just found out by browsing the TechEd powerpoints that there's a new 'Report Control' in .NET 2.0, which can be used in Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications (so they are actually two controls ;) ), that don't require (but support) Reporting Services.

Just to wrap up this post, there is no way to send a SqlXml type as binary to the server. It's always sent as text. You can receive it as binary, but not send it.

There's a new website focused in sharing GAT artifacts.

DeKlarit has a booth in TechEd (the 4th year in a row, booth #850 this time), and we are showcasing a DeKlarit 4.0 CTP that runs in Visual Studio 2005.
