In describing my approach to software development, I like to use the term practical artistry. What does this mean exactly? Well, the practical part of it is that the class libraries, interfaces, and components have to work the way that...
Hmm…I thought it was kind of odd that Visual Studio didn’t support intellisense for WCF configuration elements (but then again, I’ve kind of become intimately familiar with the core elements without having the schema). Turns out that you have to...
Some days, I just can’t handle the aggrevation… I thought it was generally known that binary build output does not belong in source control, so I was quite dismayed when I grabbed an update to our source tree today and...
So my interest in NHibernate is picking back up again. The 1.2 beta release that’s circulating now (the candidate release has been out since February of this year) addresses various issues with NHibernate in my previous time with it. Specifically,...

In WSS3, the process of adding users to a document workspace (or any sub-web) has changed from WSS2. The following snippet will allow you to add a user (I’ve only tested with users mapped to domain accounts) to the workspace:...
I’ve always had a disdain for the term “architect” in the context of software development. Possibly due to my not-so-fond experience with an “architect” during my days at Factiva. I popped open Fred Brooks’ The Mythical Man Month last night...
In WSS3, if you execute the following SQL:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
<span style="font-family: Courier;"> <span style="color: #008000;">SELECT</span> <span style="color: #000000;">ContentTypeId</span> <span style="color: #008000;">FROM </span> <span style="color: #000000;">ContentTypes</span> </span> |
You will notice that the content types are represented in the output as hex. If you take a look at the table definition, you’ll see that the actual data type of...
I dunno if this was supported in WSS2 or not, but in WSS3, when a file is copied to a new destination, a link is stored which indicates where the new document is copied from. In the database, you can...
