LLBLGen Pro and JSON serialization
I accidentally removed a reply from my previous blogpost, and as this blog-engine here at weblogs.asp.net is apparently falling apart, I can't re-add it as it thought it would be wise to disable comment controls on all posts, except new ones. So I'll post the reply here as a quote and reply on it.

LLBLGen Pro v3.5 has been released!
Last weekend we released LLBLGen Pro v3.5! Below the list of what's new in this release. Of course, not everything is on this list, like the large amount of work we put in refactoring the runtime framework. The refactoring was necessary because our framework has two paradigms which are added to the framework at a different time, and from a design perspective in the wrong order (the paradigm we added first, SelfServicing, should have been built on top of Adapter, the other paradigm, which was added more than a year after the first released version). The refactoring made sure the framework re-uses more code across the two paradigms (they already shared a lot of code) and is better prepared for the future. We're not done yet, but refactoring a massive framework like ours without breaking interfaces and existing applications is ... a bit of a challenge ;)

Dynamic Data and 3rd party o/r mappers is a fact
In the latest public preview of Microsoft's Dynamic Data, they've added something else besides what's publicly advertised: support for 3rd party O/R mappers!
A couple of weeks ago, Bryan Reynolds mailed me about LLBLGen Pro support in MS Dynamic Data. I initially hadn't payed much attention to Microsoft's upcoming Dynamic Data initiative, as it's more geared towards web developers and was Linq to Sql / Entity Framework only as it seemed. He gave me a demo of Dynamic Data using Shared View (which works pretty well) and it got my attention. It's a clean, easy to use technology to get smaller websites which have to deal with data-entry, up and and running in no time. -
To the new weblogs.asp.net bloggers
First of all: welcome. Now, as you all might know, this blog site, http://weblogs.asp.net, has a grouped RSS feed (a couple actually), which is called the 'main feed'. If you place your post in a category which is in the default list of this site, your post will automatically end up on the main feed. This is a nice feature, but as it is used now it kills the site.

Why change-tracking has to be part of an entity object
Recently, Andres Aguiar started a discussion between him and Udi Dahan about change tracking in the upcoming Entity Framework (EDM) from Microsoft. Basicly, Andres described why it was unfortunate that the EDM doesn't have change tracking inside the entity objects itself and gave some examples why that's unfortunate. Udi pulled the discussion into SOA land, and I think that was unfortunate as well, because there's a much wider used example which will illustrate why Andres is right and the rest is wrong: ASP.NET 2-way databinding. This article will be very technical, and it refers to stuff you won't run into most of the time, as it's functionality which is deep inside controls you just use. However to be able to use these controls and these features available to you in ASP.NET 2.0, they shouldn't force you to implement a lot of plumbing code yourself, as the sole reason you're using these controls is because they are the plumbing, they should take care of all that, why else bother using them?
