Using the SharePoint Business Data Connectivity Designer in VS 2010

Beth Massi — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:07:00 GMT

This time I interview a good friend of mine, Boris Scholl, a Program Manager on the Visual Studio Team building tools for SharePoint development. Boris shows off the new Business Data Connectivity designer in Visual Studio 2010 and how it allows you to describe data coming from multiple data sources and how to work with them in SharePoint. He builds a master/detail association across entities coming from separate data sources (a database and a service) and demonstrates how the entities can be displayed and edited.

IRM hjälper Stockholm Läns Landsting med vaccineringen av svininfluensan

Dag König — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:48:00 GMT

Teknologier: Visual Studio Test Edition, Team Foundation Server

Stockholm Läns Landsting behövde ett system för att administrera vaccineringen av vaccinet emot svininfluensan. Detta system skulle tas fram snabbt och måste klara höga belastningar eftersom vaccinet kommer att distributeras till invånarna under ett kort tidsintervall.

För att göra detta vände de sig till IRM, som på ett par veckor, skapade ett sådant system i Microsoft ASP.NET.
För att just säkerställa att det klarade av höga belastningar använde de sig av Microsoft's testverktyg för att prestandatesta systemet, som finns i Visual Studio Test Edition. I och med detta hittade de flera bugar och kunde säkerställa att system gott och väl klarade av de krav som ställdes på det.

Testerna versionhanterades i Team Foundation Server för att där kunna nås och utvecklas ytterligare.

ARCast.TV - Improving Application Lifecycle Management with Visual Studio Team System

Bob Familiar — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:50:00 GMT

In this interview with Zhiming Xue at Microsoft, Mike Snell, VP Solution Services at CEI, Microsoft Regional Director and co-author of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Unleashed book, discusses five key issues that typically exist in the application lifecycle management (ALM) process – requirements tracking, code review, unit testing, automated testing (aka black box testing), and continuous integration. Mike speaks each of these five issues from his extensive customer experience and offers his domain expert views and recommended practices, including use of Microsoft tools and systems such as VS 2008 Team System, Team Foundation Server, MSBuild and some non-Microsoft tools such as Ravenflow and RequisitePro for advanced requirements management. If you are interested in improving the ALM process at your organization or for your team, check out this video and let us know what you think.

Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) and Software Security Today

Charles — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:49:00 GMT

The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) team recently released two new security tools, BinScope Binary Analyzer and MiniFuzz File Fuzzer, to help you write more secure code. Jeremy Dallman, Michael Howard, and Ivan Medvedev created these tools so we decided to pay them a visit to chat about what these tools do and why they matter. Of course, it's been way too long since Michael Howard has preached to us from his security soapbox so we just had to get him talking about the general state of software security today and where it's going!

For the Microsoft SDL team, SDL is as much a lifestyle as it is a software development lifecycle. Developers, thrive securely so that others may securely thrive. Oh yeah, brothers and sisters. I'm sensing the need for a security soapbox show on 9. We need more preaching. There's still far too many developers writing insecure code. "Reverend" Howard, are you game, sir?

Get BinScope and MiniFuzz on SDL Tool Repository. Please use them!!!

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.

Coding .NET on a Netbook

Dave Isbitski — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:08:00 GMT

Netbooks are becoming very popular these days. But what does Windows 7 really run like on it? Can I run Ultimate? What about being a developer - can I run Visual Studio 2008/2010, Expression Studio 3.0, Silverlight and WPF?

The answer is yes. I've been using a Netbook as my main development machine for a few weeks now and wanted to show you what I've learned. See first hand what the development tools you know and love run like on a Netbook.
