I’ve been doing those ‘getting round to it’ things over the break and I had an interesting
couple of questions with this exam.
I’m in the (never ending) process of updating my qualification to MCSD.NET 2.0…TS
The exam http://www.microsoft.com/learning/exams/70-553.mspx was
pretty hard – 4 hours, 3 sections of around 30 questions each. Testing Web, Winforms
and ‘all other’.
A got a great question which went something like….
You drop an ASP.NET 2.0 Membership Control on to a web page….
The only problem with this question is – that there is NO
ASP.NET 2.0 Membership control within normal ASP.NET 2.0. (not sure on 3.0)
There are however Membership Providers but no Membership Controls.
I did a quick search and bingo! Here’s the control which I think was being referenced
in the question
ASP.NET
2.0 Membership Control
Talk about upping the ante on exams 🙂
Off to do some more…. 🙂

Since Lakshmi (our BizTalk MVP, and a good friend) is away on a long term assignment, I will be leading BUG-i (BizTalk User Group – India).
http://groups.msn.com/bug-i
I want to see lot of activity going on in this forum and conduct at least 2 user group sessions a month.
We have to put the life back in BUG-i and I need all your support to do that.
I know there are a lot of guys and gals out there who are new and want to learn BizTalk and those who are already into it and want to know its internals and stuff.
So I plan to take regular sessions which will benefit both the newbie as well as the seasoned BizTalk developers.
So guys wake up… show your enthusiasm… let me know the topics you will be interested in…. get everyone registered into this user group… everyone you know, who is interested in BizTalk, I know there are lots in Bangalore.
Let me know if anyone wants to do a presentation at BUG-i as well…
Thanks & Regards

It seems like just last week that I was installing another CTP of "Data Dude" and playing around with the schema compare and unit test features. It's hard to believe that we've already implemented the RTM version and are using it constantly in our day to day work. What a difference having the right tool makes to your success and enjoyment as a developer.
Well, the folks at Microsoft have been kind enough to give Gulf Coast Seal some free publicity and have published our "Data Dude" case study. It's kind of strange reading a case study about your own project and looking at what you've said about a new product, but I can tell you this. "Data Dude" really is a tremendous product from Microsoft and one which I truly enjoy using. It's also great to know that this is just the beginning and that Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals will continue to evolve and grow just as the entire Visual Studio Team System does.
A friend of mine at MSFT once asked me what it would take to get me to upgrade from a regular sku of Visual Studio to Team Suite. "Data Dude" is the answer! My only complaint is that it takes so darn long to type out the name of this product. I could write two sprocs and a unit test faster! (LOL)
Special thanks to Brian Keller, Matt Nunn, Cameron Skinner, Gert Drapers and the rest of the team (especially Robert Merriman) for listening so well. I look forward to your next TAP!

If you've read any of my previous Commerce Server posts you'll remember that planning is the key to success and the first step in this planning process is understanding that "the purpose of any e-commerce solution is to fulfill an order". Everything else is just a means to an end. This means that the center of your e-commerce solution MUST be your company's ERP system.
Keep this guiding principle in mind at all times during your project. All the Commerce Server web site code, SQL stored procedures, BizTalk schemas, maps and orchestrations that you are write are for one simple purpose; to move information in and out of your ERP system so that the ERP system can fulfill your customer's orders.
Most relatively modern ERP systems provide the necessary APIs to import customer purchase orders and export sales invoices in some format, whether EDI, flat-file, iDoc or xml. Before going any further with your e-commerce project, make sure the folks that manage and program your ERP system are brought on board during the very early stages. Without the support of these people, your e-commerce initiative has little chance to succeed.
Remember: The Center of your E-Commerce Universe is your ERP System!

Following up from my post yesterday Lee has launched a new video tutorial site at ContentPresenter.com. The site will feature video tutorials on a wide range of WPF topics and will focus more on the design side of things rather than hardcore .NET programming.
Great job Lee.
