ASP.NET MVC using Visual Basic XML Literals

Beth Massi — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:13:00 GMT

In this interview Dmitry Robsman, the Product Unit Manager for ASP.NET, shows us how he implemented ASP.NET MVC views using Visual Basic's XML Literals instead of .aspx pages. He shows us how this makes coding the views much cleaner using standard OOP principals. He also makes some very interesting observations about DSLs and Visual Basic XML literals. You can download the code Dmitry shows in the interview from his blog here.

geekSpeak recording: Inside LINQ to XML with Paul Sheriff

glengo — Thu, 29 May 2008 22:07:26 GMT

In this geekSpeak, Paul Sheriff focuses on LINQ to XML and reveals lots of tips for getting up to speed with it. We loved seeing the new techniques for building XML documents using the XDocument type that are tremendous time savers. He helps us understand what is LINQ, what’s LINQ to XML, and what are the new XML handling capabilities of VB and C#. He shows a nice example of LINQ to SQL output with XML literals interleaved, as well as an actual LINQ to XML query that comes back with (surprise) XML.

Paul also addresses some of the why, where and when XML, which is something many of us face. He shows us how he uses XML for prototyping very quickly. Also Paul shares some simple yet great techniques he uses to keep his team members up to date on skills.

Other tips range from how to get Intellisense in XML in your project to working with aggregates to what the heck the SingleOrDefault method does. Are you an XPath guru? Watch Paul’s tips on incorporating XPath queries into LINQ to XML as a transitional approach.

Some fun moments on the show are Paul slipping in a COBOL .NET reference, and his explanation as to why he's glad he took an “anti-Glen” pill that morning. :)

Finally, Paul has a great freebie he’s making available for geekSpeak fans, so listen out for the URL he shares.

This geekSpeak was hosted by Glen Gordon and Lynn Langit.

XSLT Profiler Add-in for Visual Studio Team System

compumaster — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:52:44 GMT

XML Tools team has released the XSLT Profiler Addin for VS 2008 - a quick and reliable performance analysis profiler tool that assists in the development and debugging of XSLT documents. The XSLT Profiler Addin for VS 2008 allows developers to measure, evaluate, and target performance-related problems in XSLT code by creating detailed XSLT performance reports. The XSLT Profiler includes a wealth of useful hints for XSL and XSLT style sheet optimizations, which are essential for XSLT-based applications that demand maximum performance.

If you need to develop reliable and robust software, the XSLT Profiler is capable of detecting the performance errors and defects in coding so that they are corrected at an early stage in the development. This is essential in reducing the overall cost of developing software applications. The XSLT Profiler tool is fully integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to provide a seamless and approachable user experience, combining several Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft XML Editor and XSLT Debugger, Visual Studio Team System, F1 (Performance Suites), and more.

XML Properties and Enabling IntelliSense

Beth Massi — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 01:36:00 GMT

Join me and Avner Aharoni, a Program Manager on the Visual Basic Team, as he shows us how to enable XML IntelliSense in Visual Basic using the XML to Schema Wizard. Avner shows the differences between how IntelliSense works with axis properties on XDocument and XElement objects and speaks to how the wizard can infer multiple schemas from multiple sources as well as the affect XML namespaces have on IntelliSense.

XML Literals Performance and Namespaces Explained

Beth Massi — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 21:54:00 GMT

Join me and Avner Aharoni, a Program Manager on the Visual Basic Team, as he dives into LINQ to XML and XML Literals in Visual Basic 9 and explains namespace bubbling and the performance gains you may see using XML Literals. This is a good interview to pay attention to if you are struggling with how XML namespaces work in Visual Basic.

One funny note here about the interview -- I was having a hard time pronouncing Avner's last name so when I introduced him I was so focused on getting his name pronounced correctly (which I did) that I messed up and said "feature related to SQL to XML" instead of "feature related to LINQ to XML" Doh!

Matthew Scott: Application Development using the Open XML File Formats

Rory — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 21:19:02 GMT

In this video we talk with Matthew Scott, a developer on the Word team who takes us through the design and development of the Word 2007 Content Control Toolkit, an application that natively reads and writes Word documents saved in the Open XML file format. This application has been released to the developer community on Codeplex as an open source project, with full C# source code.

The content control tookit is a real-world example of working with the new Office Open XML file formats via the new System.IO.Packaging API in the .NET 3.0 framework. It’s also a very handy tool for developers, providing the ability to map content controls to custom XML nodes through a simple drag&drop interface. Matt explains the architecture of the tool, shows how to use it, and then goes through some of the source code to demonstrate various best practices for Open XML

Open XML File Formats

Adam Kinney — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 21:25:22 GMT

Ofice 2007 has new file formats for Word, Excel and Powerpoint, based on industry-standard ZIP and XML technologies. These formats were getting a lot of attention at the Office Devcon, where Bill Gates announced the Open XML Formats Developer Group in his keynote presentation. This new group is comprised of big tech firms like Microsoft, Apple, Intel and Toshiba, government organizations like the Florida House of Representatives, and ISVs from around the world, and their goal is to provide a forum for the free exchange of information about how to implement the Open XML Formats.

Mauricio Ordonez, Doug Mahugh, Kevin Boske and Brian Jones discuss the Office Open XML file formats, the new www.OpenXmlDeveloper.org web site, and the kinds of things developers are looking to do with the new file formats.
