Last time I introduced LLBLGen Pro QuerySpec , a new fluent API for specifying queries for LLBLGen Pro . As promised I'll write a couple of blogposts about certain aspects of the new API and how it works. Today I'll kick off with the basics. Two types...

Introducing LLBLGen Pro QuerySpec: a new fluent query API by FransBouma

Unknown breaking change in .NET 4? by FransBouma

Today I ran into a breaking change in .NET 4 which I couldn't find in the documentation. It's about binding a linq to objects query to a BindingSource's DataSource in winforms. The code works properly in .NET 3.5, but crashes in .NET 4: _firstRelationshipsBindingSource...

This is why algorithms rule by FransBouma

VB.NET: Beware of the 'Aggregate' keyword (updated) by FransBouma

UPDATE I tested this initially with EmployeeID and noticed the strange behavior. Writing this blogpost I thought the max of the employeeID was a little artificial, so I changed that in OrderDate. But... what happened (see my reply to this blogpost below...

Linq to Sql support added to LLBLGen Pro by FransBouma

Imagine, you're sitting at your desk and you're using the Linq to Sql designer in VS.NET 2008 and you have, say, 50 entities in your model. You're happy about how things are progressing. It took a while to get the model set up, considering the wicked...
