I was reading Wikipedia the other day, and saw this: C# has partial anonymous function support through the use of delegates . ... Since anonymous methods are not nameless and can only be declared inside methods of classes then C# does not support...

Just had a comment-exchange on my prior post on How to build a REST app in WCF . I thought I would reproduce and elaborate on it a bit here, in a post. Kyle Beyer asked how to make WCF honor a content-type header (Accept header) in the request, and...

Ha! I wrote recently about the history of .NET Interop in the industry, and how perceptions in the industry have changed so much. I was looking for some old benchmark code (dirty little secret - I do not use a project management and code versioning...

I am writing some smaller WPF apps, and I want them to automatically update themselves, or automatically patch themselves, something like Lutz Roeder's Reflector or Paint.NET does. Scott Hanselman has commented on this previously , and he's right. Every...

Hanselman does a whilrwind tour of the various popular web2.0 systems that have C# or .NET APIs. In my book, this is all interop. What makes it all possible? First: cool, interesting, programmable services. I don't have high value scenarios for...

Check out the last few weeks worth of blog posts here. One on .NET and Google's Social Graph API. Another on .NET connecting to OpenID. Another on JSON, another on JMS. When I started this blog, there were people out there who knew , they were certain...

.NET Slave grabs a library from CodePlex to do OpenID from an ASP.NET Page. http://blog.madskristensen.dk/post/OpenID-implementation-in-Csharp-and-ASPNET.aspx How cool is that?

As you know, because you are such a FAITHFUL reader of this blog, there is new JSON support on WCF for version 3.5. The way you get JSON though, would be only through a service interface. But what if, for whatever reason, you cannot use .NET 3.5 (like...

Here's something different for a blog that generally focuses on enterprisey technologies. A .NET guy in Denmark built a C# wrapper on Google's Social Graph API. The Social Graph API exposes its data in JSON only; I guess it is designed to be consumed...

The WCF samples published by Microsoft were updated in early March 2008....

Stefan Tilkov has written an article addressing doubts about REST, it's posted on InfoQ . He delivers a top-10 list of weaknesses of REST, and then proceeds to address each one. These are things like, lack of tools support, lack of a formal contract...

I'm looking to put together more Java and .NET interop samples. If any of you have any particular requests, let me know. One of the key areas for interop I'm looking at is XML serialization. Today I was scanning the web looking for insight into the...

Check it out. The prior version had a bunch of things that were unclear, inaccurate, incomplete, or just plain goofy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Communication_Foundation If you no likey, let me know or, better, update it yourself! Just...

Quietly I've been suffering through an experience with Windows Vista on my laptop. I got my laptop, a HP/Compaq nc8430 , in October 2006 and had been running Vista on it since then. In the early days, I used a pre-release version of vista, but I switched...

Earlier this month, Syscon published an article that describes how to interconnect .NET and Java apps via a web services programming model, but using JMS as part of the connectivity infrastructure. I just saw it today. The solution relies on ActiveMQ...

My prior post talked about how NOT to write a REST app in .NET. I mentioned WCF as the preferred option. In this post, I'll describe the steps for how you should do it. Some background First up, you should use WCF to build your REST app. WCF is...

This post by Jack Altiere describes how to build a REST API in .NET. This spurred a respose... Firstly, I think really he is talking about a REST interface, not an API. REST is all about the interface. Maybe I am splitting hairs here, but I think it...

Joe Stagner posted a good list o links for learning WCF. A good first stop on your journey. http://www.joeon.net/post/2008/03/windows-communication-foundation---65-links-to-make-you-an-expert!.aspx

via http://dedjo.blogspot.com/2008/03/localization-fix-for-sap-esa-explorer.html SAP just released a sneak preview of an add-in for Visual Studio 2005 that they call "SAP Enterprise Services Explorer for Microsoft .NET ". It feels like a misnomer to...

from the Virtual Earth blog . Will wonders never cease? If you are a Java programmer and want to use Virtual Earth from a Java application, check out this article . The VE protocols are "open enough" that you can get to them from virtually any...

Seems like building a Sudoku application is almost a compulsory thing for programmers these days. I've written about my prior efforts . Here's an update. Rather than force you all to use the XBAP I published last year, here's a standalone WPF app....

Here's the news link . This is nice to see. Jason Matusow blogged this .

Kirk Evans of Microsoft interviewed Wayne Citrin of JNBridge, the Interop company. Check it out on Channel9 .
