I'm starting to get to grips with Silverlight and the first thing I wanted to do was fetch a xap file from a different host to that which was serving up the page.In other words, a page retrieved from somehost containing a Silverlight object tag with source...
Thanks to Andy Grout for working this stuff out with me...
All isolation levels affect the way in which you read data. They also affect the way others can update data because the type and duration of the locks differ.

Peachy one. I wrote a .NET COM callable wrapper and attempted to invoke it from Excel. I got:The format of the file 'xxx.dll' is invalidfuslogvw confirmed that this was to do with the version of the .NET runtime being used - v1.1.4322 instead...
So here I am starting to work with MSMQ 2.0 on Windows 2000 and enjoying myself hugely when I run into this message when trying to install MSMQ after having uninstalled it.

Just updated my article: Cruise Control .NET from Scratch v1.0.
Loads of nice changes in this version, particularly in the cctray application. It's also even easier to set things up so the article's getting shorter! The previous article for version...
This happens to me a lot and it's easy to fix. The symptom is that SourceSafe suddenly decides, with the aid of Visual Studio, that the working folders for a project or a whole project tree are not the ones you want.
Close SourceSafe on your client...
I've found it useful from time to time to share and pin in SourceSafe when creating branches so thought I'd write it up here. The idea is that you share a labelled version, creating a new project based on that label. Each file in the project is pinned...
Ran into this today. Was looking at some code written by Antony Marcano and noticed something which, greatly simplified, would amount to this:
[Test]public void Test() { object[] a1 = new object[] {"First", "Second", "Third"}; object[] a2...
For various reasons I've been working a lot at understanding character sets recently. There's a wealth of knowledge out there, not least Joel's excellent introductory article.
I also found Jon's resources very useful. And excellent character set tables...
At last! Cruise Control .NET from Scratch for version 0.9 is here. Now updated for NAnt 0.85 and NUnit 2.2. The previous one for version 0.7 is here.
I'm looking forward to getting into this version with a large system - multiple projects - multiple...
I have updated my Cruise Control .NET from Scratch article to bring it in line with version 0.7. I have retained the previous one for version 0.6.1 here.
Next task is to bring in the new NAnt 0.85RC1 and NUnit 2.2 support to bring everything up...
We had implemented a workable solution to the problem of stamping assemblies with the Cruise Control build number using NAnt when we found this which finishes the job. Very elegant.

My comprehension of XSL has just taken a large leap forward thanks to this FAQ section on built-in rules by Dave Pawson. I had been staring at an example in Fowler's Enterprise Patterns book wondering what on earth was going on. Now I know....
Neil has pointed out, after a discussion with Charlie Poole, that rather than try and make the nunit2 task work in NAnt, you can just use an exec command in NAnt to run the a different version of NUnit. Nice simple solution. Thanks!...
Dr Neil has provided some excellent feedback on the CruiseControl.NET article. As a result I've added a new bit about what happens when you get a stranded ss.exe instance (lots of remoting errors when you next run cc.exe).
Unfortunately I wasn't able...
Antony Marcano has a cool site - testingReflections.com. At present it has a nice list of links about testing patterns and looks like it will develop into an excellent resource....
I've updated the CruiseControl.NET article to reflect the changes in version 0.6.1. Relatively minor stuff. Next thing is to have a look at the new "autoGetSource" element and the "devenv" build task....
I've written an article about configuring CruiseControl.NET from scratch. I hope people find it useful....
