RE: Upgrading TFS 2008 to TFS 2012
The initial upgrade process (migration) was pretty smooth for me when I did it recently, but I had a lot of issues down the track. Some of the point of hand we had included - Issue in the process template were nothing would list in the assigned to field, had to manually edit the work item templates, this may have been due to the template coming initially from tfs 2005 (we had upgraded once before) - The build agent couldn't be installed on XP, and I had existing build servers for building vb6 assets. Had to move to win7, and get vb6 working there, which is not trivial - I upgraded away from the xml based build process, to the new workflow build process, has issues replicating some custom build activities needed for my vb6 assets. Had to compromise on a couple points there. Can't think of anything else right now, it's been a slow gradual process for me, done in-between other tasks.

RE: ASP.NET Dynamic Data
Hi All, A friend of mine is asking me questions about ASP.NET Dynamic Data http://www.asp.net/dynamicdata With me not being in the web UI space much, I'd never heard of it before. Any opinions on it's worth? He's building a large enterprise system, that is to replace his companies legacy system (they are about to go through a massive growth spurt, and have recognized their current system, which they inherited in a buy out situation, is just not going to cut it). I'm trying to convince him to architect the system properly with a nice layed approach, but this Dynamic Data seems to want to reference the entity framework context directly, which to my understanding will make it impossible to put a service layer in place, so use concepts like repository implementations, etc, etc. To be it sounds like something he should pass over, but it's shiny and new to him, which has taken his attention, even tho all he seems to be able to tell me is how it won't work. Should he persist with this, or is there a better direction he should take now. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks image001.jpg

Specification pattern, linq and ef
Has anyone done much with the specification pattern? I've start playing around with it a bit, and I've hit a limitation pretty early on. For example, I'm trying to get a list of entity, by another value on another entity, which does not have a direct link(navigation point). The linq query on the context is something like this (without using specification pattern) Dim q = From c In _context.Coupons _ Join l In _context.Products _ On c.Product.ProductNo Equals l.ProductNo _ Join r In _context.Prices _ On l.ProductNo Equals r.Products.ProductNo _ Where c.couponNo = couponNo _ 'Param value here And r.StartDate = c.OfferDate _ And (r.EndDate Is Nothing OrElse r.EndDate = c.OfferDate) _ Select r This is attempting to get all the prices whose Start and EndDate encapsulate the coupons offer date. Because I don't have a context with the specification pattern, I need to do it all from the perspective of the Price (this is a Price specification, get prices by coupon), but I can't navigate from the price to the product or coupons. I almost need the specification to be in the perspective of the context (a level up), but I'm not sure. Anyone come across this trying to implement this pattern? Any work arounds\ideas?

Half the courseware is Microsoft based and the other half are Uni units (12 units in all). The Microsoft units are the standard Microsoft training courses. Those that come with standard training book/kit and they had some online (Webex) sessions in lieu of on-campus lectures. You can choose C# or VB.Net. The exams are the same as for when you do std Microsoft training except the vouchers for the exams indentified them as Uni Based. One of the electives I did was for SQL Server 2005 (that was current at the time). The curriculum has been updated since I did mine, which was .Net 2.0 based.

I've been looking at the external offerings from USQ (http://www.usq.edu.au/handbook/2010/bus/BITC.html), which mentions .net, but I think they focus on C++ for OO development, and use Java and Oracle predominantly. USC (our local uni) seems to specialise in Java too. Does anyone have any idea whether there are any offerings (pref external part time) that might suit?

RE: It's a question of Generics...
Thanks James, In the end, I just added the extra generic parameters and continued, it's not a pretty as I had hoped, but it does work. In the end, my question boiled down to, it I create an interface that has generic parameters Interface IMyInterface(of T) which I then write an implementing class such as Class MyClass implements IMyInterface(of SomeObject) Where I've defined the type of that generic parameter, Then I want a function to return any implementation of the interface Function MyFunction() As IMyInterface(of T) I can't, as like you said, I've not defined the generic parameter If I change this to Function MyFunction(Of T)() As IMyInterface(Of T) Then it will work. However, I wanted to be able to set the T to an implementation of the interface, which has T defined in it, and have it work it out, like Function MyFunction(Of P As IMyInterface(Of T))() As IMyInterface(Of T) I could then call it like MyFunction(Of MyClass)() and it would return an instance of MyClass. Anyway, this was an exploratory exercise, and I'm kind of moving away from this. One thought I did have was to have 2 interfaces, a non generic one that defined nothing, and the generic one that inherited from it Interface IMyInterface Interface IMyGenericInterface (Of T) Inherits IMyInterface Then my function could return any instance of the non generic interface, but I've not tried this as I've moved on. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Clint, What you're suggesting here can't work. Type inference only works when passing a parameter to a function (not a generic parameter). If you want to return an object of type `IBase(Of T, E)` then the function definition must include the `T` `E` types. Your function only has a single generic parameter so it won't work. Can you post a version of your original code? Or maybe more detail of your intent? If you can, I might be able to suggest what to do. Cheers. James.

Starting out with Entity Framework
Hi all, I'm starting out with Entity Framework (.NET 3.5) and am curious if it can handle the following scenario and how to go about implementing it. Say I have single table like so TableName: Languages Columns: Name TranslatedMonths An example row would be Name=English TranslatedMonths =Jan, Feb, Mar In the entities layer, I want this represented as to types of classes, ClassName:Languages Memebers:Name List(Of Months) Can I do this with EF? Where do I start. I've played a bit with this scenario but can't seem to get it to where I want. I've done a bit with Partial Classes for this so far, but I'm just not happy with trying to keep the String property created by ef in sync with my custom added list property. For this I'd like to remove the property from the entity in the designer, but not sure how then to have that database value loaded so I can parse it out into my list. Thanks image002.jpg
RE: Starting out with Entity Framework
Thanks Mitch, Currently, change the database structure is not an option. Seems like it would, but this example is showing what needs to be accomplished, but it's not actually languages and translations.

One possibility: If you have a known, finite list of languages to support add extra columns to the Month table for each language. or create a general lookup table that contains 3 columns, englishword, languageID, translatedword. My 2 cents.
