MSDN Flash Podcast 010 – Paul Jackson on Memory Mapped Files in .NET 4, Oslo and more

Eric Nelson — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:30:00 GMT

This podcast accompanies the October 8th edition of the MSDN Flash newsletter.

It is an interview with Paul Jackson which is meant to be about the article he wrote on Memory Mapped Files in .NET Framework 4.0 but tends to go off in different directions – but we both certainly enjoyed doing it :-) I was interested to hear how he was getting on with Oslo and why he was revisiting ASP.NET after many years of focus on XAML.

SpecExplorer: Model-Based Testing made practicable

Peli de Halleux — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:45:00 GMT

Keith Stobie, Wolfgang Grieskamp, and Nico Kicillof gave a presentation on the new version of Spec Explorer 2010 for Visual Studio. Spec Explorer is a visual tool for modeling software behavior and generating test suites from those models. Spec Explorer’s approach to model-based testing has been shown to greatly enhance productivity of test case creation, to ensure predictability of requirement coverage, and to support lifecycle management and software updates. Models are typically written in C# and controlled by a configuration language which allows to express scenarios and test purposes. Microsoft itself chose Spec Explorer as a cornerstone of the effort to validate open protocol documentation, developing more than 200 test suites validating over 40,000 requirements for networking protocols in a production environment.

Developing Data-tier Applications using Visual Studio 2010

elisaj — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:36:00 GMT

DBAs and developers alike find it hard to effectively develop, deploy and manage a data-tier application throughout its lifecycle. SQL Server developers today want to create a data-tier application they can test, declaratively deploy across multiple instances while the system deals with version upgrades. SQL Server DBAs on the other hand want to know deployment requirements a priori and they too want the system to perform some of the mechanical upgrade operations instead of managing data-tier applications via a bunch of scripts. In this video we will dive into Microsoft’s investments in the SQL Server data-tier application space and demonstrate the concepts and tools that simplify development and deployment of data-tier applications using Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server Management Studio in SQL Server 2008 R2.

NOTE: Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 currently supports deploying Data-tier applications only to SQL Server 2008 R2. Please download and install the upcoming CTP3 of SQL Server 2008 R2 in order to use Data-tier Application Projects in Visual Studio 2010 Beta2.

Embedding Type Information from Microsoft Office Assemblies

Kathleen McGrath — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:00:00 GMT

In this video, Mick Alberts shows you how to embed type information into an application that uses Automation objects from Microsoft Office. Embedding type information enables you to run the same build of an application with different versions of Microsoft Office on different computers, without needing to deploy a primary interop assembly (PIA) for each version of Office.

Pat Brenner: Visual Studio 2010 - MFC and Windows 7

Charles — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:54:00 GMT

Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++ (MFC) continue to evolve and will ship with Visual Studio 2010. In fact, you can start playing with the updated and improved MFC right now by downloading the VS 2010 Beta 2.

MFC wraps native Windows APIs in convenient C++ wrapper classes that are defined for many Windows objects and common window controls. Not surprisingly, MFC wraps some of the new capabilities in Windows 7 (and will continue to do so in the future).

Some of the key MFC updates in VS 2010 Beta 2 are:

Improved interaction with Windows Explorer:

Windows7 taskbar interaction with preview
Preview, thumbnail and search filter handlers for file types

Ribbon UI improvements:

Ribbon is now an XML resource in the application
A new designer for the ribbon
Visual manager for Windows7 ribbon style

Restart manager support:

Application restart or crash handled more elegantly
Document auto-save and restore handled completely within MFC (if wanted)

Software Developer and 20 year Microsoft veteran Pat Brenner sits down with us to discuss the new and improved MFC and how it takes advantage of new Windows 7 features in the typically convenient MFC way.

Enjoy!
