Some people might have wondered why I used ASP.NET MVC 3 in my previous blog post . The reason is that the RavenDB.Client package uses Newtonsoft.Json and ASP.NET MVC 4 also has a dependency on Newtonsoft.Json. In itself this isn’t a problem except that RavenDB requires Newtonsoft.Json version 4.0.8...

  Last year I wrote about installing missing NuGet packages and Visual Studio projects. That works well but it does require using a command line version of NuGet .   It turns out that this has become a lot easier in VS2012 and is supported natively from within Visual Studio.   Enabling...

In deze podcast spreekt Maurice de Beijer met Patriek van Dorp over zijn TechDays presentatie over NuGet packages voor Windows Azure.

With REST there is not a lot required on the client as far as sending requests goes. As long as you can send HTTP GET requests you are good to go and there are very few programming stacks that don’t allow for some form of doing that. Of course just doing an HTTP GET is going to give you some data back...

Yes, that title is a mouthful. But this title is as cryptic as the error that can get generated when trying to install a NuGet package: Install-Package : Unable to find assembly references that are compatible with the target framework 'Silverlight,Version=v4.0,Profile=WindowsPhone71'. At line...

A couple days ago I wrote a post on outsourcing user authentication in a Windows Phone application, demonstrating how easy it is to leverage the Windows Azure Access Control service in your Windows Phone application. The solution is built using a set of NuGet packages that our team has built for Windows...

Yesterday I shared all the NuGet packages we’re building to make it easy to build Windows Phone and Windows Azure applications. Today I wanted to share how easy it is to build a Windows Phone application that leverages the Windows Azure Access Control service. The Phone.Identity.AccessControl.BasePage...

If you’ve been paying attention to the Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone (or my twitter feed) the last couple weeks, you’ve probably noticed something about NuGet packages. We’ve been building a lot of Windows Phone and Windows Azure NuGet packages that, when composed together, give you the ability...

Yesterday I blogged about using the new Server-Sent Events or the EventSource object to send messages from the server to the client. But what happens if I try to do this in a browser that doesn’t support Server-Sent Events? If I run the code from yesterday in Internet Explorer 9 I sill see the following...

In this week’s episode of Cloud Cover, Steve and I covered Logging, Tracing, and ELMAH in Windows Azure. Steve explored the first two topics while I looked into ELMAH in Windows Azure. You should make sure and take a look at his posts – they’re useful: Printf(“HERE”) in the Cloud Lightweight Tracing...

Warning: This post is based on a prerelease version of the WCF Web API   In my previous blog post I showed how to add to and use the new WCF Web API a console application using NuGet. Now that works but it is far more likely that you will want to be using IIS and host the REST service as part of...

Warning: This post is based on a prerelease version of the WCF Web API   In my previous blog post I showed how to get started with the new WCF Web API but one thing I skipped is how to install and add it to your project first. So in post I am going to add that information.   The easiest way...

The EF team at Microsoft just release a first CTP of the EF 4.1 Power Tools making it even easier to do Code First development with an existing database. Guess it isn’t really code first in that case but database first   I did a quick test with an existing database, Northwind to be exact, and it...

Lots of people like to use in inversion of control container, usually shortened to IOC, to inject dependencies into classes. The are lots of reasons for doing so but in the end they mostly boil down to separation of concern which makes thing more modular and thereby easier to reuse and unit test. When...

NuGet is one of those awesome additions to Visual Studio that I wonder how I could have gone for that long without it. And as I am not the only one who likes it we had a bit of a discussion on Twitter last week about how to go about using NuGet with projects under source control that are shared by multiple...
