Bringing the data tier developer into Visual Studio is the first step in enabling closer integration between the application and data tier developer. Having both environments leverage the same Team Foundation Build (Team Build) system enables daily and automatic integration of changes into the build process, enforcing closer integration and shorter feedback cycles between the two originally disjoint disciplines.

New Features In Visual Studio 2005 Windows Forms Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2006 - Jan/Feb Release Date: Sunday, January 01, 2006 Quick ID: 0601071 “Don’t do it! Don’t do it!” the little voice in my head shouted as I contemplated using the worn out cliché “Good things come to those who wait” to describe the experience of designing Windows applications with Visual Studio 2005.However, that cliché accurately communicates the idea that building Windows Forms applications in Visual Studio 2005 is better, makes you more productive, and provides you with more fun than doing the same in Visual Studio 2003, not to mention VB6! What's New in .NET 2.0 for Assemblies and Versioning? Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2005 - Jul/Aug Release Date: Monday, June 20, 2005 Quick ID: 0507041 The third release of the .NET Framework (version 2.0) introduces many changes and innovations not just in the application frameworks, but also in the essential mechanics of assemblies themselves.Microsoft strived to improve on a few limitations of the original assemblies model, as well as provide new features and capabilities in assemblies and in the tools used to build and manage them, predominantly Visual Studio 2005. These include application assembly reference, reference aliasing, friend assembly, better strong name protection, specific versioning, and targeting specific CPU architectures, and more. This article describes each such new feature, and when applicable, recommends best practices and guidelines.

Ask the Doc Detective Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2005 - May/Jun Release Date: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 Quick ID: 0505121 Doc Detective - May/June 2005 The Enterprise Instrumentation Framework Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - November/December Release Date: Monday, October 27, 2003 Quick ID: 0311091 We've all faced those irritable questions about our applications running in production. Typically a system administrator will spring one on you on a Friday afternoon just when you're finishing out the week with a game of foosball. Why did this request fail? What is causing so many disk IO spikes? What requests are failing as a result of this error? Why is the application running so slowly? Why are all the resources being gobbled up on the Web server? These questions often make us stare blankly for a while, mumble something, and then scramble back to our cave (or server room) for hours on end trying to provide answers, Remote Object Models In .NET Magazine/Issue: CoDe Magazine, 2003 - Jan/Feb Release Date: Sunday, December 15, 2002 Quick ID: 0301091 Modern applications are no longer isolated, stand-alone applications, limited to a single process or machine. Distributed applications allow you to put components in close proximity to the resources they use, allow multiple users to access the application, enable scalability and throughput, and increase overall availability and fault isolation. Component-oriented programming is especially geared towards distribution because it is all about breaking the application into a set of interacting components, which you can then distribute to different locations. .NET has a vast infrastructure supporting distributed applications and remote calls. This article focuses on just a single aspect of .NET remoting: the different object activation models available to a distributed application.
