Do you know what happens when you create a new instance of a class? Why do we need a value type and a reference type? Do you know what is meant when the .NET framework is referred to as a “managed” platform? What is managed versus unmanaged code? Why do we need a .NET runtime? What is a memory leak; is that like an oil leak? All of these are questions that you should be able to answer as a Microsoft developer. If you can’t answer them all, then keep reading as the next series of research blogs that ......
I found it very odd that this was not available when doing some search engine queries. My requirement was to take in an AD user name and query SharePoint 2010 to determine the SharePoint groups in which the account belongs. The code was to run from within a RIA Authentication Service, which is code run on a server and is not likely on the SharePoint server.

A clinic provides one to many services and a service can be provided by one to many clinics. The method accepts in a list of primary key integer values for the ......

This past week I was reminded of the “fun” in which hosting an application within SharePoint can present. We are developing a custom application for our client in which some areas must reside within a SharePoint environment. We did quite a bit of our development in this first iteration within a web application in order to pull things together and present the client with a working end-to-end “prototype.” The architecture is composed of several layers all of which will be “in process” communications ......
Want a free IDE for the .NET 2.0 release? You can get it, SharpDevelp 2.0.
My co-worker Steve wrote this cool VS.NET add-in that adds SQL intellisense. I've used it at work and it seems to work pretty well. One bug that I'm aware of is the list of columns for a table doesn't display properly for an update statement. All in all a great tool. Check it out.
