Twitter / Danny Thorpe: New programmers are drawn …
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/21
Brilliant and so true:
New programmers are drawn to multithreading like moths to flame, with similar results.
Edit: And this is just one example on how tiny little details can impact threading so much.

SQL Server: obtain ServerProperty values using sqlcmd
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/20
When running different SQL server versions and editions, you often want to know what a certain instance is about.
For that, SQL Server T-SQL provides [WayBack] ServerProperty.
Since I absolutely love [WayBack] sqlcmd, I extended my set of SQL Server batch files with this one showing you some of the [WayBack] ServerProperty values: Read the rest of this entry »

Solution for OLE DB provider connecting to SQL Server giving error “Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done”

WordPress Pages and Page Order
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/15
WordPress Page Order is a number increasing from left to right.
You can have holes in the number sequence.
So, back to the BASIC and FORRAN line numbering schemes (increment bij 100, 10, or you name it).

VS2010: “ASP.NET Web Service Application” (and other) projects gone
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/10/05
In Visual Studio 2010, the empty “ASP.NET Web Service Application” projects are gone.
This is probably because Microsoft rather has you use WCF, so a few of those “older” templates are now gone:
To simplify things a bit in 2010, we’ve removed a few of the older templates. You can get the same thing by creating an empty website and adding a web service to it.
Funny though, as the “old” templates are still mentioned, of course in their ASP.NET 3.5 web service documentation, but also in their Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET Web services documentation :-)

TFS: using tf to move files
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/09/30
Recently, I had a “server binding” “status=invalid” in TFS when moving quite a bit of files from CVS to TFS.
The most problematic where getting the solution, and a webservice project correctly.
The FAQ on solution binding indicated I should fix my workspace (which is simple: just a root directory), so that was not of much help.
I tried various other things, but in the end, the easiest fix was to:
- rename the directories of the bad solution and project,
- create an empty solution
- create an empty ASP.NET web site project
- then move all of the old files to the new directory structure
Moving files around from within Visual Studio is a tedious process: you can only move one file at a time.
TF to the rescue: it allows you to call perform TFS tasks from the commandline.
Time to automate that with a little batch file. Read the rest of this entry »

co-worker question: what is better, extension methods or helper classes?
Posted by jpluimers on 2010/09/29
Recently, a co-worker at a client asked me “What is better: extension methods of helper classses?”.
This question is relevant not only in the .NET and Delphi worlds.
My answer was simple, consisting of these 3 points: Read the rest of this entry »
