    15-03-2004 WS Discovery

    I believe I also havenÔÇÖt made you aware of the release of Web Services Dynamic Discovery (WS-Discovery) protocol. It has been released this February.

    The specification defines a multicast discovery protocol to locate services. By default, probes are sent to a multicast group, and target services that match return a response directly to the requester. To scale to a large number of endpoints, the protocol defines the multicast suppression behavior if a discovery proxy is available on the network. To minimize the need for polling, target services that wish to be discovered send an announcement when they join and leave the network.

    See http://msdn.microsoft.com/webservice...-discovery.asp for the abstract and the details.

    29-03-2004 URL-Rewriting in ASP.NET

    I just found a nice article on URL-rewriting. It examines how to perform dynamic URL rewriting with Microsoft ASP.NET. URL rewriting is the process of intercepting an incoming Web request and automatically redirecting it to a different URL. Discusses the various techniques for implementing URL rewriting, and examines real-world scenarios of URL rewriting.

    31-03-2004 What?º coming in C# 2.0?

    Fans of the C# language will find much to like in Visual C# 2005. Visual Studio 2005 brings a wealth of exciting new features to Visual C# 2005, such as generics, iterators, partial classes, and anonymous methods. While generics is the most talked-about and anticipated feature, especially among C++ developers who are familiar with templates, the other new features are important additions to your Microsoft .NET development arsenal as well. These features and language additions will improve your overall productivity compared to the first version of C#, leaving you to write cleaner code faster.

    See http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...0/default.aspx for al the details to make you the best C# 2.0 evangelist.

    05-04-2004 programming against Office System

    Some info on programming against Office System:

    Consuming ADO.NET DataSets in the Microsoft Office System

    Data interoperability with Microsoft Office-based applications is an important part of real-world solutions. ADO.NET is the powerful, flexible data access layer in the Microsoft .NET Framework that makes data interoperability with any application easier and more extensible. This article discusses how to create ADO.NET DataSet objects for use with applications in the Microsoft Office System, thus creating the vital link between Office solutions and ADO.NET.

    13-04-2004 MSJVM

    On April 2, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems announced a new broad technology collaboration that settles all pending litigation and establishes a framework for product interoperability. We would like to take this opportunity to clarify the impact of this announcement on the scheduled end-of-support for the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM).

    First and foremost, we are extremely pleased to confirm that Microsoft has extended its ability to support the MSJVM through December 31, 2007. Customer conversations helped us recognize the vast implications of the MSJVM transition industry-wide, and that additional time was needed.

    What does this announcement mean for the MSJVM transition?
    The only change is the date of end-of-support for the MSJVM from September 30, 2004 to December 31, 2007. This extension provides customers with a considerable period of time to transition off of the MSJVM, and most importantly, on a schedule that customers can manage and plan for.

    MSJVM support specifics:
    The MSJVM will reach its End-of-Life on December 31, 2007 rather than September 30, 2004. Customers are encouraged to take proactive measures to stay informed about obsolete software and move away from the MSJVM in a timely fashion. The MSJVM is not available for distribution from Microsoft and there will be no enhancements to the current code. Microsoft products and SKUs currently including the MSJVM will continue to be retired or replaced by versions not containing the MSJVM.
    Microsoft will continue to provide guidance and tools intended to assist customers migrating off of the MSJVM.
    Microsoft will continue to address only MSJVM security vulnerabilities through December 31, 2007. No other issues will be addressed.

    When you are ready to transition off of the MSJVM, Microsoft has tools and resources to assist you. These include no-charge application migration support, planning documents, assessment tools, and more. Additional information and links to the resources can be found at www.microsoft.com/java.

    20-04-2004 Multiple Formatter Support

    The original design of the Logging Application Block (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...asp?frame=true) supported the use of a single formatter per event or sink, which implemented the IEventFormatter interface. This design has now been enhanced to support multiple formatters, where the formatters are chained together and executed in order.

    If you are involved in designing and developing Microsoft?«.NET Framework applications, you may be using the Logging Application Block to provide you with effective logging in your applications. The block is a reusable code component that uses the Microsoft Enterprise Instrumentation Framework (EIF) and the Microsoft .NET Framework to help you design instrumented applications.

    The Logging Application Block provides extensions to the EIF architecture that help to address common usage scenarios for logging. These scenarios include:

    Formatting event information
    Configuring log levels
    Enhanced information in the published events
    Asynchronous logging
    Reliable logging
    Centralized logging
    Request tracing for Web services
    Metering for Web services
    Using the EIF publisher for the Exception Management Application Block (EMAB)

    See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ogging-mfs.asp for this new block.

    10-05-2004: Coding for fun.

    To kick off the new Coding4Fun column, Duncan Mackenzie describes how you can use the Microsoft Windows Media SDK and the Microsoft Windows .NET Framework to pull all of the juicy attributes out of your music files.

    Do you ever feel that if you weren't paid to write code, you'd do it anyway? Sure there are lots of days when I just want to get away from the computer, but in general I love coding. Even though I sit in front of a computer all day, I still end up writing programs for fun late into the night.

    This column is aimed at people who, like me, are writing code for fun, or as a way to learn. I could use the term "hobbyist" to describe this class of programmer, but just like a professional pilot who flies his own plane on the side, or an auto mechanic that fixes up cars for fun in his own garage, the hobbyist programmer is often also a professional. Regardless of their background and occupation, though, when a programmer has their "hobbyist" hat on they are interested in a much different (and much cooler) set of topics than when they are doing professional development. While MSDN is a great resource for all developers, the articles in this column are for hobbyist developers, to explore some of the cooler sides of coding possibilities. In this first article, I am going to detail a little program that I patched together as part of my home music system (http://www.duncanmackenzie.net/musicxp).

    Feature Pack 1

    Feature Pack 1 Availability Announced

    Yesterday, Microsoft announced the availability of Feature Pack 1 for Commerce Server 2002. This release delivers new value to our customers; particularly with an improved business user experience delivered via new discount and catalog management UIs to replace key BizDesk functionality. Multi-environment staging support through Application Center has also been added - delivering on a long-requested feature by customers and partners. Customer and partner input also led to the new features of coupon/promotion code enablement and the ability to designate view sort order when catalog data is displayed. Feedback on the new capabilities has been extremely positive for those involved in the Feature Pack 1 pre-release programs.

    Feature Pack 1 is available now as a download at no charge to all Commerce Server customers from http://www.microsoft.com/commerceserver/

    Roadmap Announced

    As part of the FP1 announcement today, Microsoft also reaffirmed its commitment to Commerce Server customers and the e-commerce space with an announcement of the next release of Commerce Server in early 2006. The next version of Commerce Server is currently underway with design plans to connect the on-line order management process more tightly into the rest of the value chain processes. Customer and order information will flow seamlessly to back-end LOB systems and to other demand & supply chain processes. On-line order management and self-service capabilities are a highly-requested feature for organizations striving to automate their value chain processes and reduce operational costs. Commerce Server vNext will deliver greater connectivity to existing systems and processes with adaptors for BizTalk to streamline processes and share information with other systems.

    The new business user experience delivered in the Feature Pack give a preview of what is to come in CS vNext for business users to manage their on-line merchandising, marketing, and order processing. The greater business process connectivity delivered in the next version also drives new opportunity for business intelligence. The next version of Commerce Server will provide cross-channel business visibility with SQL Reporting Services, replacing the current CS2002 reporting interface. Moreover, the investments in the next version of Commerce Server reflect the growing maturity and importance of the on-line channel for organizations and the need to integrate that channel with the rest of their business.

    BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Management Report Generator

    Today, Scott Woodgate (Product Manager of Biztalk Server 2004) announced the BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Management Report Generator based on SQL Reporting Services. See his announcement below:

    Do any of these customer requests resonate with you?

    ?À I wish I could report on the relationship between my BizTalk Server components easily. I have an orchestration connecting to three receive ports but it isnÔÇÖt simple to see how it all hangs together.

    ?À I wish I could understand the impact of making a change to one of the BizTalk Server components such as this schema I want to update. I need a list of which maps and orchestrations use that schema.

    ?À I wish I could print-out a BizTalk Server Configuration for a functional specification, operational documentation etc.

    The BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Management Report Generator supports all of these scenarios and more by saving BizTalk Server configuration information to XML and more importantly making it visible in SQL Server Reporting Services through a custom data extension component. I attached an example report you get right out of the box just to get you thinking.

    With SQL Reporting Services you get hosted reports, export to a variety of formats such as pdf and excel, and lots of built in design capabilities. Of course every BizTalk Server 2004 customer is a SQL Server 2000 customer so they all have access to Reporting Services today.

    The BizTalk Server 2004 Configuration Management Report Generator is a sample and includes the full-source code to all components. You can download it from my blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwoo/), or you can download it directly http://home.comcast.net/~sdwoodgate/...Generator.zip.

    Using Virtual PC en Windows PE for Rapid Prototyping

    Rapid prototyping is an essential part of the planning and design stage of an embedded project, for instance for Retail POS applications. Of course other type of projects can also benefit from early prototyping.

    By providing early sample configurations to the customer, features and requirements can be adjusted according to the customer's environment. In many cases, prototypes also help coordinate the hardware development and software development in a project. The result is a significant and beneficial impact on time to market. This article describes how to set up a virtual build environment with minimal effort by using Microsoft Virtual PC and Windows PE on a development computer. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...html/proto.asp for the details.

    30-06-2004 Microsoft gaat strijd aan met php en MySQL

    Terwijl Microsoft de vernieuwing van zijn producten even moet loslaten om later dit jaar vooral fouten uit het verleden te herstellen met servicepacks voor Windows XP en Windows Server 2003, hoopt de softwaregigant meer mensen te interesseren om applicaties en websites te maken op zijn .NET platform.

    Hiervoor gaat het nu de strijd aan met de populaire combinatie van php en MySQL door goedkope en ook gemakkelijker te gebruiken versies van de verschillende onderdelen uit Visual Studio op de markt te brengen.

    Visual Studio Express bestaat uit lichtgewicht-versies van de bekende onderdelen uit Visual Studio zoals SQL Server, Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual C++ enVisual J# maar biedt ook een nieuwe Visual Web Developer. De Express-producten richten zich vooral op niet-professionele programmeurs die dankzij een eenvoudigere werkomgeving met meer tutorials en voorbeeldcode, ook zonder diepgravende programmeerkennis een eigen web- of Windows-applicatie moeten kunnen maken.

    Volgens Eric Rudder, senior vice-president van Microsoft Servers en Tools, stellen de nieuwe producten iedereen in staat zelf software te ontwikkelen. "Met deze nieuwe producten biedt Microsoft een kant en klare en vooral passende oplossing aan de volgende generatie it-ers", aldus Rudder.

    De Express-lijn bestaat uit SQL Server Express Edition, een alleen in performance en schaalbaarheid beperkte versie van Microsoft's bekende database. SQL Express Edition is de opvolger van de SQL Server Desktop Edition die eerder door Microsoft met zijn ontwikkelprogramma's werd meegeleverd.

    SQL Server Express Edition is gebaseerd op SQL Server 2005, de volgende versie van de database waarvan Microsoft op TechEd eveneens de eerste bèta versie openbaar maakt. SQL Server Express Edition mag in tegenstelling tot de grote SQL Server, vrij gedistribueerd worden.

    Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition is bedoeld voor het bouwen van dynamische websites en webservices. Dit onderdeel bouwt voort op de al enkele jaren geleden geïntroduceerde ASP.Net Web Matrix die ook bedoeld was om niet-professionele ontwikkelaars naar het .NET platvorm van Microsoft te halen maar daar nooit echt in geslaagd is.

    Weblogs
    Door met de tutorials in Visual Web Developer aan te haken bij populaire webzaken als persoonlijke sites en ook weblogs, hoopt Microsoft ditmaal wel meer mensen over de streep te trekken. Visual Web Developer Express Edition biedt een eigen test-webserver en een publicatie-tool waarmee zelfgemaakte webapplicaties samen met de database eenvoudig op het internet gepubliceerd kunnen worden.

    Paypal, eBay en Amazon.com steunen het initiatief van Microsoft met eigen webservices die eenvoudig binnen de Express-versies gebruikt moeten kunnen worden. Uitgever O'Reilly zal bovendien enkele nieuwe boeken op de markt brengen die de beginnende programmeur het werken met de Visual Studio Express producten nog verder moet vergemakkelijken.

    Anders dan php en MySQL is van de nieuwe Express-versies alleen SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, gratis te downloaden. Voor de overige varianten zal toch gewoon betaald moeten worden, al zal volgens Jonathan Murray Chief Technology Officer bij Microsoft EMEA en spreker tijdens TechEd-conferentie van Microsoft, 'de prijs voor niemand een hindernis zijn om met deze producten coole nieuwe applicaties voor Windows en het web te gaan maken'. Over de exacte prijzen is zover echter nog niets bekend. SQL Server 2005 Express Edition moet eind deze week beschikbaar zijn.
