Great Linq link


I am fervidly assimilating this new .NET 3.5 technology as the Visual Studio “Orcas” beta has a well developed editor. I found the march 2006 CTP bare-bones and grueling to work with.

Information is coming out daily but if I were you I would head to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb425822.aspx#linqtosql_topic4. This is all you need to get started, most people posting tutorials on the net are reading this and then modifying it’s contents.

The article is a real Beaut!

Re-installing Corrupt .NET Framework 2.0 (Do not delete the .NET folder)


I recently un-installed the .NET framework 2.0 as it was corrupt, then deleted the folder from
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727.

When using Visual Web Developer in Visual Studio I got a message saying that it could not connect to the local webserver. The reason why is because this WebDev.WebServer.exe resides in the .NET framework folder hence was no longer available.

To avoid this problem, rename the folder, then re-install the framework. If you’ve deleted this already, install VWD express as that will re-install the webserver as a “workaround”
