I have been configuring servers lately and have come across an issue that wasn’t clear. I needed to enable network discovery, so I simply went to the advanced sharing center I was unable to keep the sharing active. I realized that I needed to ensure that...

I learned a lot this year and I thought I’d take a moment to share some of my favorite blog posts, books and newly discovered blogs. Besides continuing to play with BizTalk Server, I also dug deep into Windows Server AppFabric, Microsoft StreamInsight...

With 2011 around the corner we, at Tellago and Tellago Studios , we have been spending a lot of times evaluating our successes and failures (yes those too ;)) of 2010 and delineating some of our goals and strategies for 2011. When I look at 2010 here...

"In the beginning God made heaven and earth. Then he started to integrate." At the very start was the requirement: integrate two working systems. Small digging up: It was one system. It was good but IT guys want to change it to the new one,...

To all my friends, “Bizketeers” and to all my readers, that all forms have encouraged me to continue my project, my sincere wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And for the first time in my native language (Portuguese): Para todos os meus amigos, “BizTalkqueanos” e para todos os meus leitores, que [...]

Sometimes I just want to quickly try out a technical idea and hate having to go through the process of building entire solutions (I’m looking at you, BizTalk). Up until now, StreamInsight has also fallen into that category. For a new product, that’s a...

Previously I explained in detail how to Install and Configure Windows SharePoint Services using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 with SP2, to remember, BizTalk Server 2010 supports these two versions of WSS: SharePoint Foundation 2010 Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 with SP2 However, if you wish to use SharePoint Foundation 2010, I suggest reading Steef-Jan Wiggers post: [...]

I’ve taken the time to reflect over the blogs I follow, and though about the impact it made to my work over the last year. I’ve also credited post for being just interesting or cool, and perhaps useful in the future. I’ve done this post as a tribute to...

With all the holidays madness I didn't realized that my "Integrating BizTalk Server and StreamInsight" paper is now available on MSDN . This paper was originally an idea of the BizTalk product team and intends to present some fundamental...

I had a nice setup in my BizTalk environment. I had 4 receive locations polling for data (in the same table) and it all boiled down to execute a stored procedure with different parameters. I used the WCF adapter with SQL bindings for that. For some obscure...( read more )

I had a situation today where I have a stored procedure that is structured as follows:   1: CREATE PROCEDURE _Entity_GetByKeywordTypeDateRange( 2: @keyword varchar(255) = null, 3: @typeA bit = 0, 4: @typeB bit [...]

You want this book! -Ron Jacobs, Microsoft Ron Jacobs (blog, twitter) runs the Channel9 show called endpoint.tv and he just interviewed Ewan Fairweather and Rama Ramani who were co-authors on my book, Applied Architecture Patterns on the Microsoft Platform...

Special thanks to Ryan Dunn (@dunnry) and Pablo Damiani  for all of their pioneering work helping to define this process. While building your web application, have you ever deployed to Windows Azure and then realized you forgot to make a change?  Or forgot to include an update?  Or maybe you deployed and realized you made [...]

My good friend Carlos ran into a situation while working with one of his clients that seems to be triggering what looks like a bug in BizTalk Server 2010. The specific case came up when changing the Windows User Group associated with a BizTalk Host when...

Earlier this week we had a team lunch to wish Ryan Dunn well as he moves on to new challenges outside of Microsoft. Don’t be scared, Ryan. For the greatest “sappy montage” of all time, watch this clip from Cloud Cover Episode 33.

This application looks pretty awesome. In addition to giving me the ability to post to my blog directly from my Windows Phone, it looks like I can also: create & edit pages, moderate comments, and review my blog statistics (not that it’s impressive). I’ve been very happy with the applications hitting the Windows Phone Marketplace [...]

As awesome as it is to have a lot of great local development tools, it’s also be difficult to setup new development environments.  Downloading and installing the Windows Azure SDK is really only one step – you also have to ensure that local services are configured correctly (e.g. IIS), you may need additional SDKs (e.g. [...]
