Source: [ShowUsYour-Blog!] WSE Tutorials. Dan Wahlin's done it again... he's posted 4 excellent Windows Media movies that show a simple example for getting started with WSE http://www.xmlforasp.net/codeSection.aspx?csID=81 In it learn how to: Wire-up WSE in your project Implement IPasswordProvider Check a web request for security tokens Make a web request with added security tokens 12:23:34 PM    trackback []     Articulate []

Source: [ShowUsYour-Blog!] 70-310 and 70-320. Last week I purchased the MS MCAD/MCSD Self paced training kit for 70-310 and 70-320.  I'd been kind of browsing the first 3 chapters which cover the framework (overview) and building windows services.  Deep down I knew that I hadn't really been learning anything as I've been too busy reading other cool stuff: Background Copying Regular Expressions in .NET Building a Desktop News Aggregator Clemens takes the red pill  (or, as I call it Blair Witch Project III) Anyways, yesterday a friend asked me a couple of simple questions about services, such as how to debug them and what the various security contexts that they can run under refer to.  After much head scratching I had to admit that I wasn't terribly sure.  Last night was a solid night of reading and, needless to say, I'm feeling much more comfortable with Windows Services. Bring on Serviced Components!!! References: 70-310/70-320 Certification resources 12:21:43 PM    trackback []     Articulate []

Source: [ShowUsYour-Blog!] I am the Framework. I run managed code. I am without flaw. (repost). Had an interesting experience today; a friend sent me an assembly and asked me to check it out.  I referenced the assembly in my application and starting writing some elite code that consumed it.  Project compiled fine but when I executed the app. it blew up and complained that assemblies couldn't be found - System.Xml in particular. Welcome to SxS ( side by side execution ).  What my friend had failed to tell me is that his assembly was built on Version 1.1 of the framework and I only have Version 1.0 installed! Thankfully this fine article - http://www.3leaf.com/default/articles/ea/SBS.aspx - told me how to rectify the problem by adjusting my configuration settings to map to the V1.0 assemblies. Here we go again :D   Note: here is an example of the error you can expect to see if you get caught by this: File or assembly name System.Xml, or one of its dependencies, was not found. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name System.Xml, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
