has anyone tried this? i came across it at the web 2.0 conference... looks interesting, and wondering how well it integrated with visual studio and what...
Hi guys, I'll have some spare time in the next couple of months and would like to learn ASP.NET 3.5 and LINQ. What are the greatest books? Thanks! Cheers...
My current client is addicted to their DataSets :-( These puppies have as many as 20 columns. Does anyone else face this problem? I'm trying to break their...
I am the last guy to defend MS of this forum but even I still see your remark on the datasets a little bit harsh... Datasets are extremely helpful in small to...
Essential Linq? I haven't actually read it, but I've seen a lot of copies around here. Of course, that may just be because I sit in VSL along with one of the...

On the rare occasions where I have a need to mock a datatable I handroll them. It is easy and works just fine, but I wouldn't do it as a general strategy. In...
... Is that private database in memory? or just local to your machine? Thanks Mark Blog: http://www.notesfromatooluser.com/ Recent Entries: Agile/Scrum Smells:...
Adrain thanks for your impassioned defense of Datasets. My dislike of them comes from a few points - all code related to them is a horrid unreadable mess. -...

So the code is expecting populated Dataset objects? Are these typed datasets or are they untyped, with the schema established at the time of loading? The...
I agree with Chris on this one. Do you want to mock the DataSet or the connection to the DB? If it's the connection then crufting up data in XML during the...
I understand you Mark. It's just that you have to be very careful about the things you say. These DataSet vs ORM, Linux vs Windows, Java vs .Net wars are just...
Speaking of horrors* , at my current client.... looking for an ORM tool that plays nicely with Oracle SPROCS. I want something that will gen POCO’s from an...
... SProcs that return ref cursors -- that's Old School! :) I'm afraid your conclusion is probably the correct one. For that scenario you will probably have to...
Haha "old school". Oh my. You should see the rest of it. My kids had better PC's 3 years ago. I spent a week trying to get the ICT dept to stop McAfee from...
Hi All,  I'm working on a speech recognition app. The original source for the project uses a wrapper class around the COM stuff and I need a version that...
... AFAIK MFC calls AfxOleInit (or something like that) which results in a call to either CoInitialize or CoInitializeEx - you should google about that,...
You may have to define some symbol before including the header in order to see CoInitializeEx() -- it was added to Windows at some point, so you'll need to...
