Learn how WCF transactions use WS-AtomicTransaction and two-phase commit, including transaction flow options and a SQL Server-backed service example.

An introductory Windows Azure FAQ covering cloud hosting, shared infrastructure, SaaS concepts, and consumption-based pricing.

This is the third series in my LINQ FAQ series. In this series we will cover LINQ FAQ’s related to concurrency handling, compiled queries, CRUD implementation and mapping simple .NET classes with XML file configuration. I love to write articles in FAQ format for the only purpose that they are to the point and you can get to know more by reading less.

This article will focus on how we can convert simple existing .NET classes in to LINQ enabled classes.

In this article we will touch base some important concepts of handling concurrency in LINQ to SQL.

LINQ has been criticized by many early adopters for its performance issues. Well if you are just going to drag and drop using DBML code generator I am sure you will land up in to mess. Try doing this make a simple LINQ to SQL project using DBML and see your SQL profiler, I am sure you will never like to touch DBML code generator again. In this article we will first look in to how LINQ queries are executed, and then we will touch base on how compiled LINQ queries can help us improve our application performance at least 5 times. My numbers can be 10% up and down as I had come to that figure using my environmental situations.

This FAQ article is dedicated to LINQ to SQL. In this article we will see a basic example of LINQ to SQL, how to define 1-1 and 1-many relationship using LINQ, how we can optimize LINQ queries, execution of stored procedures using LINQ and finally we will see a simple CRUD example using LINQ to SQL. For past some days I was running small sprint to complete this marathon I hope you will like this article.

In this section we will run through basics of LINQ and then see 5 basic LINQ queries which you will always need in your project for queries. While looking at the basics we will also try to learn what problem LINQ solves from the perspective of middle tier business objects.

This is a pretty simple tutorial dedicated to LINQ newbie’s who want to learn how to do CRUD operations using LINQ entities. I am sure many experienced LINQ players would criticize me for such a mild article.

In this article we will start with a basic LINQ to SQL example and then see how we can implement one-many and one-one relationship using ‘Entityref’ and ‘EntitySet’. We have also attached a source which demonstrates the same in a practical manner.

This article discusses 12 FAQ’s which revolve around bindings, layouts, consuming WCF services and how to connect to database through SilverLight.

This FAQ is completed dedicated to animations and transformations using Silverlight. The tutorial starts with animation basics like timelines and storyboard. Later the article moves ahead to talk about different animations supported and we finally end the tutorial with a simple rectangle animation.

Learn WCF transport and message security, including their differences, supported bindings, and examples using WsHttpBinding, HTTPS, and BasicHttpBinding.

In this article we will look how we can do database operations using SilverLight. We will first try to understand why we cannot call ADO.NET directly from a silverlight application and then we will browse through 7 steps which we need to follow to do database operation from silverlight.

This article will talk about three ways of binding object properties with Silverlight user interfaces. We will first go through the fundamentals of the 3 bindings and then take up a small sample which will demonstrate how the binding works.

This is a short and sweet FAQ which iterates through the most common metrics which will help you judge your project health.

In this article, we will discuss an upcoming code review tool StyleCop. We will understand the basics and do a small sample of code review practically to understand how StyleCop works.

Many people think project life cycle circulates around SDLC. In this article, we will discuss about other phases which occur before SDLC starts. I know that companies have tailor made phases we have just tried to put phases followed by majority IT companies.

This article talks about 21 important FAQ from the perspective of WPF and Silver light. Both of these technologies are connected to a certain extent. This article not only explains the theory aspect of these technologies but also shows small samples for each of them.

In this article, we will look how we can trace and debug information in WCF services. There are some ready made tracelisteners provided by WCF. The base of these ready made trace listeners is .NET trace listener. So we will first understand the basic concept of trace listener and then go through the ready made tracelisteners provided by WCF.
