I’ve reinstalled my machine of last night with Windows 7. I’m very happy with this new platform! Thank you Microsoft. One of the final reasons to start yesterday was that my database integration in Visual Studio was broken. Of course there where many more reasons, but that was the issue which made me do it [...]

Recently, a lot of blogs have written about the new Microsoft Extensibility Framework(MEF). From an ISV(Independent Software Vendor) perspective, this is really interesting. As you all know, Sitecore has rebuild a lot of functionality such as events, hooking, threading, etc. It is nice to see that Microsoft has figured out that they [...]

Today I was invited at Caesar Group. One of our dutch partners. They asked me to do a Sitecorecase but unatfortunetelly I wasn’t able to do that. So I decided to do session about Functional programming and its influence of imperative programming. Especially C# and a little bit Java.
It was a great session and I [...]
The past few months I’ve seen a lot of issues when people had to install Visual Studio 2008 and/or .NET 3.0 or 3.5. Mostly this is caused by beta software they’ve installed once.
Unatfortunetelly Microsoft’s Beta uninstaller aren’t always clearing the system as you would expect. Therefor, Microsoft released an uninstall tool for pre-released .NET 3.0 [...]

ASP.NET 2.0 is almost implemented. They’ve decided not to implement precompiled websites and the WebParts API. For compatibility testing, they’ve release MoMA(Mono Migration Analyzer).
I’ve been running 5.3.2’s [...]

Got challenged yesterday by a community member. This experienced guy had the following statement:
Just give every object which handles strings a StringBuilder. The overhead is minimal and the performance is maximum.
I do not believe this at all. And although it might be a very micro optimization, it found it worth to try.For quick output, I’ve [...]

With the public release of Visual Studio 2008 this month, .NET 3.5 and particular C# 3.0 is released to the broad public. This does mean that the new functionality will be exposed a lot. And I guess Extension Methods will be the most used functionality.I’m actually not 100% happy with this language extension. Of course [...]
Posted in ASP.NET, CLR / BCL, Sharepoint, Systems on Feb 13th, 2008
Today I came across these two blogpost by some Microsoft chaps. They are generally about memory leaks in Sharepoint. The usage of disposable objects, etc.
It seems like Microsoft has a lot of object which needs to be disposed over and over?! Yes we’re talking about a tool written in a managed language! And ofcourse, the [...]
