George asks about SP1 of the .NET Framework 2.0... Again the details have not been 100% worked out, so don’t take this as an official statement, but I expect SP1 of the .NET Framework 2.0 to be at the same time as Orcas .NET Framework ships.

Jon Skeet, a C# MVP I greatly respect, has written a great article about The 7 Deadly Sins of Software Development. I personally think every software engineer should simply read it and better: should use the knowledge inside the article in their work next week and beyond!

Recently, Scott Guthrie blogged about using DLinq with ASP.NET. I read the interesting article and thought... that must be possible today, with code using normal .NET 2.0! So, I started LLBLGen Pro v2.0 (V2 is currently in beta) and yes, I was able to do everything Scott showed in his article, with very little effort. The steps I took are described below.

I've to add, LLBLGen Pro v2.0 is currently in beta, so similar to DLinq, it's not yet available in final form, though we hope to release v2.0 of LLBLGen Pro later this month. The beta is open for our customers. The current version of LLBLGen Pro is v1.0.2005.1.

Ok, so let's get to work!

Normally I don't p1mp blogposts of others here, but for my good friend Sahil Malik I'm happy to make an exception . Sahil will be your instructor for everything ADO.NET 2.0 at the ADO.NET 2.0 boot camp. Read more at his blog.

Today, Mini-Microsoft, a blog by an anonymous Microsoft employee which got a lot of attention in the past, posted a blog entry that today's post is the last one...

Like I said before, for the near-term I will throw up the occasional interesting article or reposted comment. Perhaps that is all it takes given the number of excellent, good-looking people willing to spend time reading and contributing to the comments. And I'll continue to moderate comments just because occasionally something wildly offensive does show up in the pending queue. So does this mean that this is the end of Mini-Microsoft? For now, yes, but only my end of it. The rest is up to you.

You'd think that by now everyone would have said everything that you can say about Stored Procedures vs. Dynamic SQL, but apparently Eric Wise and Jeremy Miller disagree with that and have started another iteration of this Never Ending Story^TM.

So, now that we've this new CommunityServer 2.1 blog engine at our disposal here at weblogs.asp.net (Thanks guys! ), the big 'let's make my blog look better'-struggle begins again, as .Text skins don't work in CS 2.x for obvious reasons.

There are some issues now with the RSS urls, which are not complete. More people have this problem at the moment, so I hope someone finds out what the cause of this is.

It appears a post only shows up in the main feed if it's tagged with a tag from a small set of tags. Understandable of course.
