Paolo Pialorsi - Bridge The Gap!

Great session! Scott Woodgate is a guarantee! It was a 200 level session, so not so deep in BizTalk architecture and programmability, but really a good session!
Aside from the "standard" contents of a session like this,  Scott showed us a wizard, fully integrated with VS.NET, to create BizTalk Adapters that he's working on. He told us that it will be available in a few days, probably next week, on his blog. Good job Scott! Thanks!

I've just attended this session. Not so exciting, probably because I was already aware of many of the contents. The interesting thing is that it's confirmed the support for IXmlSerializable in .NET 2.0, even if the GetSchema method will be ignored by XmlSerializer, that instead will call a method defined through a new attribute called XmlSchemaProviderAttribute (something like [XmlSchemaProvider("MethodName")] on top of the class...).

A non-standard :-) session, based on Q&A instead of slides ... It was a good idea Don, expecially in a session late in a long day.

Microsoft has just announced: SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, Visual Web Developer Express Edition, Visual C++ Express Edition, Visual C# Express Edition, Visual J# Express Edition, Visual Basic Express Edition!

Thanks to Roman Kiss we are able to move SOAP messages over MSMQ with WSE2 !!!

Microsoft Smart Client Offline Application Block makes possible to build applications that are network aware and that are able to work online or offline. When offline you can enqueue messages for central services using many different kind of QueueStorageProvider. One of the pre-built QueueStorageProvider is MSMQQueueStorageProvider that, as you can argue from its name, is a queue provider based on MSMQ. It works with a private queue not transactional by default. Sometimes it happens that you would like to make your messages persistent in order to keep trace of them in case of your Smart Client host shutdown, reboot, crash, etc.

Hello everybody!

In these days I’ve read many different opinions about DataSet and Custom Entities. Here is my personal point of view.
