Biztalk Server 2006 Release 3?

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:58:10 GMT

For the moment I don't specialize in Biztalk Server also if some months ago I developed some applications. I wish install Biztalk on my PC running Windows Server 2008 but I discovered they aren't compatible. It seems there will be an updated version of Biztalk some time in the first half of 2009 for Windows Server 2008. The version will be called Biztalk Server 2006 Release 3. This is the same one happened with Biztalk Server 2006. It was released when Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 were RTM. Some day ago SQL Server 2008 was released and then Microsoft will follow un update to be compatible with the most recent platform releases.

TF30059: Fatal error while initializing web service

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:15:48 GMT

I installed the SP1 on Team Foundation Server and I couldn't connect to server. Dammit!! In fact I had this error stated in the title of this post.....Why SP1 has raised this problem?

After searching on the web to find the solution, I discovered others with the same problem and the solution. The solution is on this Microsoft KB article entitled "TFS 2008/ Not able to connect to TFS 2008 after installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1". I must download TFS 2008 SP1. Read the instructions carefully before installing the SP1:

If you plan on using Windows Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 with Team Foundation Server 2008 SP1 please see the Team Foundation Installation Guide for details on how to install SP1 on the Team Foundation Server and do not install the service pack using the instruction below. Additionally, if you plan to install this service pack on a server that has a client for Team Foundation also installed on it, you must install SP1 for Visual Studio 2008 on that server before you install SP1 for Team Foundation Server. For more information, see “Installing Team Foundation Server and Service Pack 1” in the installation guide.

Jojo in the Stars

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 22:32:34 GMT

I was looking for on YouTube some Future Shorts video I watched some months ago. For who doesn't know what Future Shorts is, it represents one of the leading and most short film labels. It allows filmmakers the opportunity to have their work seen on the largest theatrical platform worldwide. It brings you an eclectic mix of innovative, raw, fresh and inspiring films..................

One of my favorites is Jojo in the Stars. It is a brilliant and gloomy video. Watch the video...

Where is ILASM.EXE?

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 13:26:34 GMT

Where installed ildasm.exe in VS 2008? You don't see it anywhere on my system? Then it is located in %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin. It isn't located in ~~Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\Bin~~ as the old versions.

Error in C# Cookbook

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:57:34 GMT

This evening I found an error in in the book "C# Cookbook". The page is 1029 and the example is 18-4. The author has forgotten to insert this namespace System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging; otherwise you can't use AsyncResult class defined in that namespace.

But it was so important from writing a post...No but I was just writing a post about Asynchronous delegate.

Essential .NET: The Common Language Runtime

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:40:52 GMT

Today in a second-hand shop I found and then bought the book "Essential .NET, Volume I: The Common Language Runtime" by Don Box and Chris Sells. It has been one of first books I red about the .NET framework. It was in 2002 and the .NET framework had finally shipped in release form making the end of the COM era. After six years, I am still working with .NET. In any way I will add it to my personal bookcase.

Delegates with Return Values

Wed, 21 May 2008 11:27:06 GMT

Usually you read this about the delegate. If a delegate has a return value and more than one method in its invocation list, the following occurs:

The value returned by the last method in the invocation list is the value returned from the delegate invocation.
The return values from all the other methods in the invocation list are ignored.

What if you need to access the returned value by each method in the invocation list? Use the InvocationList method. This method returns an array of Delegate objects, each representing a particular method that may be invoked.

Look this example to get around this limitation:
