We are happy to share that starting April 9, 2010, Windows Azure platform AppFabric will be commercially available on a paid and fully SLA-supported basis.
In order to help you get familiarized with AppFabric billing, we released the AppFabric Billing Preview yesterday March 9. With this billing preview, you will be able to download a usage summary from the AppFabric Developer Portal, with information similar to that of the “daily usage summary” currently available to you for Windows Azure and SQL Azure.
If you are already using AppFabric, we will begin charging as of April 9, 2010 at 12:00 AM GMT. You can find our pricing for AppFabric here. You can also go to the pricing section of our FAQs for additional information as well as our pricing blog post. If you do not desire to be charged for AppFabric, please remove any applications that are currently utilizing these services prior to this date.
Thank you for your continued interest and business.

I experienced the following problem the other day when trying to configure a WCF-Oracle send portafter installing SP1 for BizTalk 2006 R2. I believe the problem would show itself when using BizTalk Adapter Pack 1.0 as well, but I didn’t verify this.
Here’s a text version of the error:
—————————
WCF-Oracle Transport Properties
—————————
Error loading properties.
(System.MissingMethodException) Method not found: […]

If you are in are in Minneapolis on Thursday March 11th please join us for the Twin Cities Connected Systems User Group Meeting.
The meeting takes place at 6:00 p.m. at the Microsoft offices at 8300 Norman Center Drive, Bloomington, MN 55437.
I will be speaking on How to Create Windows Server AppFabric Applications
Here is a write-up of what will be covered:
You have heard about Dublin, now called Windows Server AppFabric, but do you know what it is and what it includes?
Do you know how to create WCF and WF applications/services that work better with AppFabric?
Come to the user group meeting and see how to write these applications and take advantage of AppFabric. We will show you how to use Visual Studio 2010 to create WCF and WF services and how to deploy, monitor, and control them with Windows Server AppFabric. In addition, we will also talk about what you need to know to start using AppFabric and what you need to do to optimize your existing applications and services to begin using AppFabric.

We have had BizTalk 2006 R2, and now we will soon have BizTalk 2009 R2, so don’t get confused and BizTalk is far from being replaced it only gets better.
I’ve been looking at 2009 R2 recently, and I can tell you a few things about what’s coming, within reason, as most of this is still under wraps I can’t spill all of the beans.

A few months back I was screwing around with the WCF Routing Service and trying something besides the “Hello World” demos that always used self-hosted versions of this new .NET 4.0 WCF capability. In my earlier post, I showed how to get the Routing Service hosted in IIS. However, I did it in a round-about […]

Here’s a ‘Thank You’ to all our customers and partners, for creating a Windows Azure platform AppFabric commercial account. The trust you have placed in the Windows Azure platform is tremendously appreciated. As you may remember from our previous announcement, AppFabric will become fully SLA-supported in April, and your account will begin to accrue charges.
In order to help prepare you for the onset of billing, today we are releasing the AppFabric Billing Preview. To use this billing preview, at any time you may visit the AppFabric Developer Portal and download a daily AppFabric usage summary, which will have information similar to that currently available for Windows Azure and SQL Azure. The report will summarize your usage of AppFabric starting today. The Billing Preview will be available until you start seeing actual billing charges in April. We hope you find the billing preview useful in understanding how you will be charged when actual billing starts.
You can find our pricing information here. For additional detail, you can also go to the pricing section of our FAQs as well as our previous pricing blog post. If you have feedback on the billing preview or need further information, please visit our Discussion Forum.
We deeply value your continued investment and are always striving to move further towards our goal of enabling you, our customers and partners, to build and grow your businesses on the Windows Azure platform.

After spending hours learning to play the fake guitar simply to get a higher score, I often wondered why someone couldn’t make a game to learn useful skills. Where’s arithmetic Hero? Going-to-bed-on-time Hero? Microsoft Office Ribbon Hero?
Well, at least the last one finally exists. Microsoft Ribbon Hero lets you learn to use the Microsoft Ribbon and earn points while doing it. They even have Facebook integration so you can compete against your friends and coworkers. (My FB account is here, if you want to challenge me)
The premise of the Ribbon is based on sound UI design (it’s even won awards), but it’s so different than what we were used to. If you’re like me, you’ve figured out where your most commonly used items are on the Ribbon, but haven’t fully explored the other features and often have to hunt for that one option that you use so rarely. Well, let’s take that need for points and apply it to learning something we can actually use in everyday life.
Finally, a game you can play in front of the boss. After all, you’re increasing productivity!

Happy Monday!
It’s an exciting time here as we start ramping up for launch next month. Within the product group, there has been a flurry of activity as they squash their bugs, and the final polish is being placed on the Visual Studio release. In the business group, we’re busy finalizing web content and launch material that you’ll start seeing over the next few months.
On Friday, in preparation of the release of the new Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) runtime in .NET 4 (WF4), the team has released the first public Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the WF Migration Kit. The original WF migration guidance documents that we started releasing with Beta 1 are now complimented by a tool that will help you migrate common scenarios implemented using WF from .NET 3.x (WF3).
As quote the first two paragraphs of the migration kit’s user guide:
The WF Migration Kit helps users migrate WF3 (System.Workflow) artifacts to WF4 (System.Activities). The high level goal is to migrate workflow definitions and declarative conditions, but not code (such as workflow code-beside methods). Some WF3 workflows will be fully migratable to WF4, while others will be partially migratable and will require manual editing to complete the migration to WF4.
The WF Migration Kit provides an API as well as a command line executable tool, which is a wrapper around the API. Migrators are included for some, but not all, of the WF3 out-of-box activities. The WF Migration Kit offers an extensibility point so that custom activity migrators can be developed by third parties.
The migration kit is designed to help you get started in the automation and movement of common workflow scenarios. Because most of your logic will be in custom activities, the tool has extensibility points for you to automate the migration of your own custom workflow logic and activities.
The CTP release posted up to CodePlex has been released with the source code, under the .NET Pre-Release Components license. You are allowed to download and modify the code for your personal use for migrating your WF code. While it may be added into the .NET/Visual Studio codebase in the future, please treat it as another tool in your WF tool belt. For customers and ISVs with a lot of WF workflows to migrate, we hope it will be a tremendous help.
Enjoy!
BTW – Keep an eye on the WF Pre-Release CodePlex site; more goodies are coming over the next few months!
