This sounds good to me.
As the web enters its second decade, the old barriers are blurring or breaking down completely. Media is transforming technology and technology is transforming media. Web “designers” are starting to write a little code, while Web “developers” are learning to twiddle pixels. AJAX is redefining the boundaries between client and server. RSS and web services give you the power to recreate the web the way you want it.
Everything is getting a little MIXed up.

Touting the success of it's new Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) process,
Microsoft late Wednesday said Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP SP2 Professional
and Embedded have secured the highest Common Criteria security certification from
the United States government's National Information Assurance Partnership.
Four versions of Windows Server 2003 were certified, including Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition,
Datacenter Edition and Windows Server 2003 Certificate Server.
Both Windows 2000 Professional and Server editions previously achieved the same
security rating, dubbed Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 4.

It gave me surprise after reading this article.. This is something very interest to me.
"While India will remain the biggest pool of low-cost global knowledge workers
for the foreseeable future, with more than double the combined total in its nearest
rivals, China and Russia, it faces a shortfall of 500,000 people by 2010 unless
it steps up training"
....................................................
"We have no doubt that this industry will become the largest export-led
industry in the world, rivalling oil from Saudi Arabia or automobiles from Japan,"
Wha...It sounds good to me...!

Did you spot all the differences? We hope you found the puzzle in our ad intriguing and that you saw how the new Visual Studio 2005 can make coding easier, so you can get to the work that matters. Now let’s see if you spotted all the cues: |
1 trade those to-dos for it’s-dones 2 a new, more flexible interface 3 fewer emergencies and late hours 4 trade that stress ball for a tennis ball 5 shorter hours mean a healthier lifestyle 6 when coding is easier, great work blooms 7 books about code or books about you? 8 less time to code means more time for family 9 the difference is night and day 10 run rings around other developers |
I nice list of XML Serialization from MSDN site by Dare Obasanjo. I wish there would more FAQ on the list.
Here we goes.
Q: Why can't I serialize .NET Framework classes like exceptions and fonts?
A: The XmlSerializer is primarily designed with two goals in mind: XML data binding to XSD compliant data structures and operation without any special code access privileges. These two goals work against the XmlSerializer as a general-purpose object persistence solution for some kinds of objects.
General purpose serialization may require accessing private fields, by-passing the framework's standard object construction process, and so on, which in turn requires special privileges. The SoapFormatter from the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap namespace provides an alternative that is not subject to these restrictions, but requires full trust to operate. It also produces an XML format, a generation of which is customizable using the attributes in the System.Runtime.Remoting.Metadata namespace.
The BinaryFormatter from the System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary namespace can also be used as a mechanism to provide simple object persistence and transport for situations where XML serialization does not meet your needs.
Q: How can I serialize classes that were not designed for XML serialization if I do not want to use the SoapFormatter?
A: You can design special wrapper classes that expose or hide fields and properties from the XmlSerializer.
Q: How do I serialize collections of objects?
A: The XmlSerializer throws an exception when the collection contains types that were not declared to the constructor of the XmlSerializer. You can:
- Declare the types to the serializer by passing in a Type[] with the types to expect within the collection.
OR
- Implement a strongly-typed collection derived from System.Collections.CollectionBase with an indexer matching the Add() method.
Q: Why aren't all properties of collection classes serialized?
A: The XmlSerializer only serializes the elements in the collection when it detects either the IEnumerable or the ICollection interface. This behavior is by design. The only work around is to re-factor the custom collection into two classes, one of which exposes the properties including one of the pure collection types.
Q: Why can't I serialize hashtables?
A: The XmlSerializer cannot process classes implementing the IDictionary interface. This was partly due to schedule constraints and partly due to the fact that a hashtable does not have a counterpart in the XSD type system. The only solution is to implement a custom hashtable that does not implement the IDictionary interface.
Q: Why do exceptions thrown by the XmlSerializer not contain any details about the error?
A: They do contain all the information, but it's stored in the InnerException property of the exception thrown, which is usually an InvalidOperationException. In general, one should always call ToString() on caught exceptions to get the full details of the exception.
Q: What aspects of W3C XML Schema are not supported by the XmlSerializer during conversion of schemas to classes?
A: The XmlSerializer does not support the following:
- Any of the simple type restriction facets besides enumeration.
- Namespace based wildcards.
- Identity constraints.
- Substitution groups.
- Blocked elements or types.
Q: Why doesn't XSD.exe support the schemaLocation attribute on imports and includes?
A: The W3C XML Schema recommendation describes this attribute as a hint, which can be ignored by processors that can use alternate means to locate schemas. XSD.exe only uses schemas that are specified through the command line to convert schema A.xsd, which imports schema B.xsd.
xsd.exe /c A.xsd B.xsd
Also, the wsdl.exe application, considered a sister application to xsd.exe, can be downloaded from the Web. If you do this and use the wsdl.exe, you would follow schemaLocation hints in imports and includes.
Q: What are the differences between the XSD to runtime type mapping used by XML serialization and those used by ADO.NET or XSD validation?
A: The mappings from W3C XML Schema types to runtime types used by the dataset and schema validation are described in the Data Type Support between XML Schema (XSD) Types and .NET Framework Types topic.
This mapping is different from those used when XML serialization attributes are specified on the fields and properties of a class. Each of the XML serialization attributes has its mapping from objects to W3C XML Schema types defined in the description for the DataType property for that class. This includes the descriptions of the SoapAttributeAttribute.DataType property , SoapElementAttribute.DataType property, XmlArrayItemAttribute.DataType property, XmlAttributeAttribute.DataType property, XmlElementAttribute.DataType property, and XmlRootAttribute.DataType property.
A major difference is that the Gregorian dates, such as xs:gMonth and xs:gYear, are mapped to strings by XML serialization, whereas validation maps them to DateTime objects. Another difference is that the DTD-based list types, such as IDREFS and NMTOKENS, are mapped to strings by XML serialization while validation maps them to arrays of strings. The xs:duration type is also mapped differently in XML serialization compared to schema validation. XML serialization maps them to strings, while validation maps them to TimeSpan objects. The xs:integer type is specified as a number with no upper or lower bound on its size. For this reason, neither XML serialization nor validation map it to the System.Int32 type. Instead, XML serialization maps the xs:integer to a string while validation maps it to the Decimal type that is much larger than any of the integer types in the .NET Framework.

Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect, Bill Gates, launches the next generation of integrated computing platform - Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005, and BizTalk Server 2006 in India on December 9, 2005. Joining in the celebration is the Indian Rock band – Parikrama with a rock song just for our Indian developers. Called `Superhero' the song is about the life of a programmer. Download now, and Get Ready to Rock
Wow....I was expecting it would be little bit "Technical lyrics" just like previous vb.net rap song ;)
Anyway,It was nice one.
Superhero
Springs up from the bed with a crossword in his head,
A shiver shakes his spine thinking what the boss said,
Feeling like a mouse in the tiger’s den (ah right)
Missed the bus again, runs all the way to work,
Prays to all his Gods, even Captain Kirk,
Hoping he can make it in time for the bumpy ride.
(Pre-chorus)
Opens all the windows, as he shuts the door,
As the magic begins to flow, out to the fore
(Chorus)
He’s no less than a super hero
can’t make him fall
Ones and zeroes, threes and fours
But not that bad a guy after all
Afternoon comes when everyone eats,
Staring down at lines on his L.C.D screen,
Cracking up the code, faster than the speed of light.
Evening bells ringing, had to meet his date,
Digits on his hand will have to make her wait,
Smiles at his phone, then tosses it aside.
(Pre-chorus)
Opens all the windows, as he shuts the door,
As the magic begins to flow, out to the fore
(Chorus)
He’s no less than a super hero
Can’t make him fall
Ones and zeroes, threes and fours
But not that bad a guy after all.
Cheers
