While in Europe last week presenting at the Integration Days event, I showed off some demonstration of cool new technologies working with existing integration tools. One of those demos combined SignalR and BizTalk Server in a novel way. One of the use cases for an integration bus like BizTalk Server is to aggregate data from […]

I developed a program which uses SQL Server Compact. Initially it was developed creating SQL Server COmpact 4.0 databases. Now after reinstalling my laptop, I tried to open the database, but it appaered I was missing the necessary tooling for SQL Server Compact 4.0, I could only open/create SQL Server Compact 3.5 databases.
I’ve immediatly installed the SQL Server Compact 4.0 runtime, which can be found here.
But this however didn’t seem to be enough… I still couldn’t open my created SQL compact database.
What I needed to do, was install some additional software using Microsoft Web Platform Installer 3.0.
Make sure you install these packages:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 SP1
- Microsoft Visual Studion 2010 SP1 Tools for SQL Server Compact 4.0
Note that selecting and installing the Visual Studio 2010 SP1 or the Visual Web Developer Express 2010 SP1 also installs the SQL Server Compact 4.0 components that are needed for the tooling support. These components are called as Visual Studio 2010 SP1 Tools for SQL Server Compact 4.0 and SQL Server Compact 4.0. The Web Platform Installer automatically detects whether these components are already installed on the machine, and if they are not installed, the Web Platform Installer will install them. There is no need to separately select the SQL Server Compact 4.0 components in the Web Platform Installer.
The installer for visual studio SP1 can also be found here.

I have just taken the plunge and upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 (partly because of the %u00a325 upgrade offer). After the upgrade I noticed a severe lack of space on my otherwise roomy C: drive. A quick check in Windows Explorer reveals a windows.old directory which contains all of my old Windows 7 […]

With some encouragement and prodding from some of the other senior members of my team I finally spun up a BizTalk 2013 VM through the Azure Portal. I must say that I was very pleased with the experience and am very excited at the potential that hopefully will be unleashed by this and other such […]

One day I was given an interesting requirement – I needed to design a report that would render as a delimited text file. My first thought was to make it a report designed to be exported as a CSV, but I soon realized that the specs for this report required that the columns be separated […]

This demo is a basic integration scenario: “Event registration” and intends to show some of the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) […]

I can’t say I follow things that closely in the Windows Phone world, but I am aware of the upgrade to Windows phone 7.8. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. The improvements in the UI look nice, and when I get it, I can try to kid myself that my company phone, a Nokia Lumia 800, is really an 820.
It appears that the roll-out of 7.8 started today in the US for Nokia 900 users. It can take a while for upgrades to make it to all theeligiblephones. So, imagine my delight when, this evening, my phone informed me an update was waiting for me! Yeah! I eagerly started the upgrade process and excitedly informed my bemused family that I was about to get Windows Phone 7.8.
Er…no. After asuccessfulupgrade, the phone re-booted…into Windows Phone 7.5.
I did a little digging. It appears that the last upgrade, code-named Tango, has just arrived on my phone. Tango was released on 20th July last year. That’s just over six months before I got the upgrade.
Oh dear me.
I’ll report back on Windows Phone 7.8 in late summer…if I’m fortunate enough to get it by then 🙁
Update
Apologies to Nokia who I stupidly railed at in an earlier version of this post. Of course, they simply manufacture the handsets. In my case, the carrier is Vodafone and they are the company responsible for pushing updates to my phone. It seems that back in SeptemberVodafone decidedto cancelthe globalroll-out of Tango updates to some users due to a WiFi concern. Although the press only reported this as affecting a single HTC model, maybe this is connected with my experience.
Update 2 (Friday)
A colleague has been busy forcing upgrades on his Nokia Lumia 800 (there is a little trick you can use, apparently, that involves switching off your PC WiFi connection at just the right moment while using Zune, and then re-connecting). He forced an upgrade to Tango. Now, he reports thathe got two further updates and then a third. The thirdappears to beWindows Phone 7.8 (which at the time of writing he is currently installing). So, best guess is that Tango is being rolled out as a precursor to the 7.8 update. I’ll report back on this later.
