Office 2010 and Shareporint 2007: “Could not open”

UPDATE: Don’t do this! It breaks stuff (like the Tungle Outlook Connector) and may have negative security implications. A second workaround I found was disabling automatic proxy detection.

Found a fix for the annoying issue with Office 2010 and Sharepoint 2007 that prevented me from opening files.

.NET 4.0 Beta Breaks WCF Activation

I suppose that’s why it’s a “beta” but I honestly only expected the .NET beta to break itself, not other applications. Here’s a better worded post than I feel like writing that describes the issue…

I’ve had a problem on my most recent Windows 7 install with getting the WCF activation to install. I kept getting errors which told me that an error occurred and some of the features were not installed and then I was prompted to restart now or later… Well, great as that was, I was sort of hoping to find a solution…

Entity Framework 2.0 er… 4.0 (.NET Rocks!)

Just finished another excellent podcast from .NET Rocks which this time discussed the new features of the Entity Framework which is currently out in beta. While I haven’t had a chance to give it a try myself I’m very interested in what Daniel Simmons described. Having written off the EF as “not ready yet” and expecting the new release to still not meet my needs, I was very pleasantly surprised to hear that new features will make it into the final release that weren’t “supposed” to as of a few months back. I definitely need to reevaluate because based on what I heard in the interview the EF may be just a good a fit for me as nHibernate. I definitely recommend anyone interest in ORM check out the interview. (And go write some code)

Daniel Simmons is back this time to talk about the new features of ADO.NET Entity Framework version 4.

Daniel Simmons is dev manager for the Entity Framework and LINQ to SQL team where his mission is to build a team and a product that will fundamentally change the way we build data-centric software. He has been at Microsoft for 10 years working on a variety of products. Before coming to Microsoft he worked as a consultant, founded an ISP and engaged in various other software pursuits.
