Silverlight 2.0 Cross Domain Policy File Checker

18-Dec-2008

In order to make Cross Domain calls in Silverlight 2 applications, the server you wish to download data from must have a Policy File in place that allows access to your site. I have created a Silverlight Application in which you can check the content of the Policy Files (if exists).

Silverlight 2.0 Locator for Objectmap

10-Nov-2008

I have created a new Silverlight 2 Control which is used in the Objectmap website. This control makes it easy for the customers of accounts to find their nearest object (branch, offices or sales outlet). They can also immediately retrieve dynamic directions to this location or link to a more info page.

Have a look at this demopage, sorry in Dutch only.

This control uses: Cross Domain WCF networking, Data Binding, Isolated Storage Settings, Google Maps API calls, Cross Domain HTML Bridge and Styling.

SQL Server 2008 HierarchyID Data Type

15-Oct-2008


The Dutch Microsoft .NET magazine #22 (September 2008) contains an article I have written an Introduction to the SQL Server 2008 HierarchyID Data Type. You can download the complete source of the article here. In this source I also fixed the problem with the IsDescendant() method. This method was renamed in RC0, my article was based on a Beta. The method is renamed to IsDescendantOf() and the argument has also changed.

The article is available online in PDF format on download.microsoft.com. Please note that the article is in Dutch. The complete .NET magazine #22 is available online here.

Hot Technologies Day

18-Jun-2008

On June 17, I did two sessions on the Hot Technologies Day for Achmea (Interpolis) in Tilburg. I have given many trainings (C#, ASP.NET 2.0, AJAX, SQL2005, VS2008) at Achmea the last year. It is a very innovative company and very fun to work for.

This Hot Technologies Day was a mini seminar with 4 sessions: Silverlight 2, VSTS DB Pro, LINQ + Entity Framework, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. Here is a picture of me taken during the Silverlight 2 session:

In the Silverlight 2 session I gave an overview of Silverlight 2 Beta 2. You can download the slide deck here.

In the LINQ + Entity Framework session I gave an overview of C# 3.0, LINQ, LINQ to SQL and Entity Framework. You can download the slide deck here.

Generic BidirectionalAssociationCollection

25-Mar-2008

Bidirectional associations are easy to design but difficult to program. You must write lot's of synchronization code with the risk of making mistakes. Have a look at the following example in which there is a bidirectional association between Employee (Employer) and Company (Employees).

The synchronization code is implemented in the AddEmployee(), RemoveEmployee() and the (Set)Employer methods.
