Whoa time flies! . After 9 months of hard work, LLBLGen Pro v2.0 has been released! LLBLGen Pro V2.0 comes with a new licensing scheme: it's now licensed per seat, instead of per-department. Current customers of v1.0.200x.y can upgrade for EUR 49.- per developer. (Designer using developers need a license...

Several days ago it finally arrived: Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns by Jimmy Nilsson ! It's Jimmy's latest book and it's great. Well, 'great' is not really the word, it's more a matter of Must Have , it's that good. It's perhaps a bit strange, to hear from me that a DDD/TDD book, which this...

Recently, Scott Guthrie blogged about using DLinq with ASP.NET . I read the interesting article and thought... that must be possible today, with code using normal .NET 2.0! So, I started LLBLGen Pro v2.0 (V2 is currently in beta) and yes, I was able to do everything Scott showed in his article, with...

You'd think that by now everyone would have said everything that you can say about Stored Procedures vs. Dynamic SQL, but apparently Eric Wise and Jeremy Miller disagree with that and have started another iteration of this Never Ending Story TM . As it's Friday and you're probably looking forward to...

Last week we released DeKlarit 4.0 . I won't post the new feature list here, as you can read it in the website . What I will do is tell you about my favorite new features ;). Gaston built a great platform-independent layout editor . We can now generate very sophisticated forms in Windows Forms or ASP...

I've been playing with Ruby on Rails, and there's a lot to like. There are some things that we won't be able to get while working in C#, but we could build some stuff to get closer. I know there are some people working on porting RoR to .NET but I prefer an approach that instead of porting it, it tries...

If you read about the data binding support in ASP.NET 2.0, it always says that is designed for the natural stateless nature of the web, which basically means that each time I update something in the page, it's persisted to the database.v I was concerned about this, because most of the interesting CRUD...

LinQ is very cool and we all agree with that. DLinQ seems oriented towards being a simple way to access data that covers most of the simple cases. I think it will add a lot of value to the .NET platform. Now, if you are looking for a 'real' O/R mapping it seems that you'll need to look somewhere else...

Preface To work with data on a semantic basis, it's often useful to specify general definitions of the elements a given portion of logic will work with. For example, an order system works with, among other elements, Order elements. To be able to define how this logic works, a definition of the concept...
