I have Vista loaded and everything is going great. This past week, Microsoft released a service pack for Visual Studio 2005. I thought this would solve some of the issues with Vista and Visual Studio. When you load the sp and start Visual Studio, you get the following message: Visual Studio 2005 SP1 requires an update for Windows Vista
So to run properly on Vista, there is another update that Microsoft is working on. If you click the Learn more about Vista in the Start up Window, it brings you to: MSDNWiki Beta? Maybe there is a mistake here. After searching, I found this page that contains info on Visual Studio 2005 SP1. It contains a link for Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Update for Windows Vista Betawhich leads you toThe download you requested us unavailable. The Vista update is still in beta and I’m sure this is why the links are a little crazy, but I think someone needs to update them before we get a lot of frustrated developers out there.
The same goes for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2, which also has a couple of issues running on Vista. You can find info here as the service pack is not yet complete. SQL does work, but you just need to be aware that you could have an issue or two. You can find more info on this at Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on Windows Vista.

One of the feature I anticipated in SQL 2005 management studio was some kind of Intellisense when you type the queries. But, surprisingly there was no support for it.
Red Gate software came with a very cleaner solution, a single application which supports SQL intellisense on QueryAnalyser, Enterprise manager, Management Studio, VS 2003, VS 2005, UltraEdit and Editplus2.
My favorite feature is SQL Snippet, similar to VS 2005 code snippet concept. Just type
“SSF” on the query analyser, which translates to “SELECT * FROM “ awesome. You can add your own snippets, this will definitely make life easier for some developers/DBA’s.

What an awesome two weeks. First I’d like to thank Clare
Dillon for setting up the tour, and then all the user group leaders and people
that came out to here me talk about WF. For those of you who came – here is
the zip file of the slides and the demos I did over those nights.
I’d like to thank all the user group leaders personally:
Mick Luan in Galway.
Joe Gill in Cork.
Derek Noonan in Limerick.
Philip
McKeown in Dublin.
Damien McGivern and Simon
Philips in Beflast
Lots of technology was shared – mostly over pints ;-), and a great time was had by
all. Can’t wait to come back to Ireland again.

SP1 provides over 70 improvements (annoyingly I can’t find anything that details those fixes), of note are the following:
New processor support (e.g., Core Duo) for code generation and profiling

Found this article on the code project on how to set a custom name on a output file – something I recently had to do. It also contains a list of all the macros that are available in the file adapter – so does this post from Owen Allen.

Scott Colestock has a vary thorough article on TechNet about MOM 2005 and BizTalk. It’s really amazing what it possible to accomplish when one gets these two solutions to play together.

I had the privilege tonight to speak at the Dallas .NET User Group. While December
meetings are normally lightly attended, we had a good crowd who was very engaged on
the subject matter. The talk reviewed XML namespaces, XPath syntax, and closed
with a review of the XmlReader object in the .NET Framework.
The slides and
code samples can be found here.
I appreciate everyone giving me some of their time and I hope you learned something.

I was just reading an email and found out that we have just launched an SOA solution center at www.microsoft.com/soa. It’s also complemented with a new SOA page on MSDN which highlights technical resources for developers and architects. Something else to read 😉
