Silverlight 3.0 basic wish list

Adlai Maschiach — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 19:49:39 GMT

I don’t know about you, but I have a small wish list to Silverlight 3.0 ( considering the Beta 1 ) – two more additions :

A Built-In support to RTL , in something like an “encoding” property of the XAML file – Just like in HTML ( current RTL is somewhat problematic :s )
Version selection , like this :

NOTICE: This is version of the Silverlight that you choose , NOT of the .NET Framework ! which is just like saying “I want to install more than one Silverlight Toolkit, Side By Side, just like in .NET Framework”

Visual Studio 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.3 - Feb 2009 CTP

Adlai Maschiach — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 10:15:47 GMT

Visual Studio 2008 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.3 - Feb 2009 CTP

It seems that a few days a go the SharePoint project and item templates for Visual Studio 2008 - VSeWSS 1.3 (Feb 2009 CTP) was released

Overview

This is the SharePoint developer tools for Visual Studio 2008. These tools are suitable for use with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. It includes project and item templates for common SharePoint artifacts, it includes build, packaging and deployment for SharePoint solutions and it includes the SharePoint Solution Generator which creates a new Visual Studio 2008 project from a SharePoint site.

The tools provide item templates for List Definition, List Definition from Content Type, Content Type, Field Control, Web Part, Module, Root File, Template, Event Receiver, and List Instance. It provides project templates for Team Site Definition, Blank Site Definition, List Definition, Web Part and Empty. It works with Visual Basic .NET and C# languages and a comprehensive user guide is included. It does not include the SharePoint Workflow templates as they are built in with Visual Studio 2008.
New features in version 1.3 include:

Can be installed on x64 Server OS machines running SharePoint x64. Previously only x86 Server OS could be used
Separate build commands for package, deploy and retract are added as Visual Studio menu items
WSP View improvements for consistency of deleting feature elements, merging features and adding event receivers to features
Command line build, package and retract commands are included enabling continuous integration and build servers. Previously command line build of SharePoint projects was very difficult
Refactoring support for renaming of Web Parts. Previously renaming a web part required changes in several files in the project
Solution Generator can now generate solutions from publishing sites. Previously only regular sites could be generated
Allowing partial trust BIN deployments of web parts
New project item template for SharePoint RootFiles items
Deployment will now optionally remove conflicting existing features on the development server prior to redeployment. Previously any feature name conflicts would result in an error
Ancillary assemblies such as for business logic can now be added to the SharePoint Solution WSP
Hidden features related to Site Definition projects are now shown in WSP View. They are no longer hidden
For advanced users a fast deploy is included to update only the compiled assembly on the SharePoint development installation
Deployment step logging is included
The List Definition from Content Type template now allows for the creation of a List Definition Event Receiver
The User Guide is now installed with the extensions instead of being a separate download

SmartPart "you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference"

Adlai Maschiach — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:56:31 GMT

SmartPart "you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference"

Building WebParts is one thing, and building UserControls is another. But for those who are still in the dark regarding SharePoint development http://www.codeplex.com/smartpart can bring you up to speed in simple ( “KISS” ) UserControl development as part of Moss2007.

Unfortunately, the samples that come as part of the Package are missing one thing more – a reference to a “Custom” library, So :

Problem:

As part of the UserControl that you’re trying to install using the SmartPart, you get an Error which spcifies that you can’t upload the user control, and if you insiste in choosing it any way you get and error which states in the end that "you are missing a using directive or an assembly reference" – and this is even when that “Custom” Library is in the GAC (!)

Solution:

Put another copy of the “problematic” DLL in the BIN folder under your WebSite

c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80\bin

Get PublicKeyToken in Visual Studio 2008

Adlai Maschiach — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 23:35:12 GMT

Probelm:

The common way we all get the PublicKeyToken is of the Libarary DLL is to Drag and Drop it to the GAC (c:\windows\assembly) folder , and then right click the DLL.
“So ? Where is the problem ?” , you might ask
Well there are two of them:

if you’re in Vista , you just might come across a “privileges” problem, which means: you are part of the Administrator Group but you still can’t drag and drop to the Assembly, is there a workaround to get the PublicKeyToken ?
If this is “just a step / stage” in the global development , you need to remove the DLL from the GAC , else the project will use the GAC version and not the “development” version – which means you don’t really want it in the GAC , you just need the "Token”

Solution:

In the PostBuild Code add the following

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\sn.exe" -T "$(TargetPath)"

BizTalk Server2009, "Oslo" and .NET

Adlai Maschiach — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 05:53:44 GMT

BizTalk Server2009, "OSLO" and .NET

Due to expected “collision”, BizTalk2006 R3 (BizTalk Server 2006 R3 Announced) development was integrated into the BizTalk2009 development. Some of us might have suspected that already from the Is there a new logo for the IT Products in Microsoft? post a while ago. As such, we should summarize the current situation:

Where We Are Now

BizTalk 2006 R2

Service Oriented Architecture and Web Services

Enhanced support for messaging based on Web services
Updated SharePoint Server Integration
Expanded Business Activity Monitoring
BizTalk Adapter Pack
WCF Adapter SDK
BizTalk Adapters for Host Systems
Enterprise Service Bus Guidance [ESB]
Enhanced Partner Solutions
Partial Support for Workflow Foundation .NET 3.0

Business to Business Integration

Integrated Support for EDI and AS2 Protocols
Comprehensive RFID Platform Infrastructure

Other Enhancements

Broader Enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO)
Easier updates – BizTalk 2006 R2 includes support for Microsoft Update

Where We Are Going

BizTalk 2009
The next version of BizTalk Server continues to build on the investments made to address the concerns of service oriented architecture and enterprise connectivity.

Updated Platform Support

New Application Platform Support
BizTalk 2009 supports the latest Microsoft platform technologies, including Windows 2008, Visual Studio 2008 SP1, SqlServer 2008 and the .NET 3.5 SP1. These platform updates enable greater scalability and reliability, and many advances in the latest developer tools.
New Hyper-V Virtualization Support (BizTalk / Moss Virtualization Issues [Hyper-V])
BizTalk 2009 now takes advantage of the latest virtualization improvements included as part of Windows 2008 Hyper-V, which can lead to reduced costs through lower hardware, energy, and management overhead, plus the creation of a more dynamic IT infrastructure.
Improved Failover Clustering
By taking advantage of Windows 2008 clustering, BizTalk Server is now able to be deployed in multi-site cluster scenarios, where cluster nodes could reside on separate IP subnets and avoid complicated VLANs.

Service Oriented Architecture and Web Services

New Web Services Registry
BizTalk 2009 includes a UDDI 3.0 registry which provides support for registry affiliation, extended discovery services, digital certificates and extensibility for a subscription API.
New Line of Business Adapters
BizTalk 2009 provides two new adapters for Oracle E-Business Suites and SQL Server, plus additional improvements have been made to the existing set of adapters.
Enhanced Host Systems Integration
BizTalk 2009 adds a new WCF WebSphere MQ channel by providing the transport, data formatter and encoder to integrate directly with WebSphere MQ via WCF and a new WCF Service for Host Applications has been added to expose the traditional Transaction Integrator to .NET Framework developers. Additionally, BizTalk 2009 includes updated platform support for the most recent versions of CICS, IMS, CICS HTTP transport, DB2, DB2/400, DB2 Universal Database, and WebSphere MQ.
( as well as TIBCO Chooses Microsoft .NET WCF & Silverlight )
Enhanced Business Activity Monitoring
By expanding the out of the box BAM functionality with SqlServer 2008 Analysis Services, BizTalk 2009 provides support for UDM cubes and scalable real-time aggregations which enhances support for Microsoft PerformancePoint Server 2007.
Enhanced Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Guidance
ESB Guidance 2.0 delivers updated prescriptive guidance for applying ESB usage patterns, improved itinerary processing, itinerary modeling using a visual Domain Specific Language (DSL) tools approach, a pluggable resolver-adapter pack, and an enhanced ESB management portal.

Business to Business Integration

Enhanced Support for EDI and AS2 Protocols
BizTalk Server 2009 provides support for multiple message attachments, configurable auto message resend, end-to-end filename preservation, improved reporting to address new features, and Drummond re-certification for AS2.
Updated SWIFT Support
By building on a rich SWIFT foundation, BizTalk 2009 updates all message schemas and business rules for compliance with SWIFTReady Financial EAI Gold certification, as a result adds support for SWIFT FIN Flat File message types and business rules, BIC Plus IBAN interface, and Extensibility to support SEPA Routing.

Device Connectivity

New Mobile RFID Platform and device management
BizTalk 2009 delivers a new lightweight platform for a variety of mobile devices, which simplifies the development of mobile applications that expose relevant, real-time business information. BizTalk RFID Mobile includes support for enhanced device management, Powershell support for administration of edge infrastructures and the ability to monitor RFID infrastructure using System Center Operations Manager 2007.
New RFID industry standards support
Support for key industry standards (including LLRP, TDT, TDS, WS Discovery and partial EPCIS support).

Developer and Team Productivity

New Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) support
BizTalk 2009 provides support for Team Foundation Server (TFS), and allows development teams to be able to leverage the integrated source control, bug tracking, support for team development, Project Server integration and support for automating builds via MSBuild.
Enhanced Developer Productivity
BizTalk 2009 introduces a number of improvements have been made to the underlying Visual Studio based BizTalk project system which enhances debugging support for artifacts such as BizTalk Maps (XSLT), pipeline components and XLANG Orchestrations, and enables support for unit testing via Visual Studio Test.

Other Enhancements

Messaging
BizTalk 2009 improves recoverable interchange processing of validation failures by providing support for recoverable interchange processing for disassembly (DASM) and a validation stage within the pipeline. The WCF Adapter has been enhanced to provide support for configurable transactions and the ability to choose the transaction isolation level in the WCF-Custom Send Adapter.
Administration
By continuing to build on the improvements to the BizTalk Management Console made in BizTalk 2006 R2, two new query types have been added for tracked message events and tracked service events which consolidates all queries – tracked/archived data, live data and specialized EDI reports, into a single tool.

"Oslo" is the codename for Microsoft’s forthcoming modeling platform. Modeling is used across a wide range of domains and allows more people to participate in application design and allows developers to write applications at a much higher level of abstraction. "Oslo" delivers a new integrated platform for connecting across modeling domains, including a new "Oslo" modeling tool, an "Oslo" modeling language, and an "Oslo" repository. As we gathered feedback from BizTalk customers, they indicated they would prefer to take a disciplined, evolutionary path to adopting some of these newer platform technologies. We have thousands of customers that have deployed mission-critical applications on top of our BizTalk Server architecture; they want to decide for themselves when to move to newer versions of the platform.
