RE: SQLite trouble again
Have you tried Installing it from nuget: http://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Data.SQLite/ - Original Message - Subject: SQLite trouble again From: Greg Keogh g...@mira.net Date: 12/21/13 8:55 pm To: ozDotNet ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com I've just spent 18 man-hours installing a fresh Windows 7 on a new SSD and I'm about 80% done. I'm also upgrading to Visual Studio 2013. It took 2 hours to get IIS working with correct permissions and pools. It took 2 hours to install Sibelius 7. It took an hour to get the Epson scanner and printer working. All this was expected I guess. I've only stumbled upon one gotcha so far ... When adding an EDMX and making a connection there is no data source provider listed for SQLite. I remember I searched for ages last year to find the right installer for VS2012, but I can't one for VS2013 and I think the reason is HERE. It looks like I have to wait until January XX 2014. So I'm stuck with several projects that won't build and I've got to find a workaround. It's a bit weird as I have a tiny project with a single EDMX in it and it doesn't compile due to The ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SQLite' is either not registered in the machine or application config file, or could not be loaded. See the inner exception for details. ..TemplateModel.edmx -- But the config and references all look correct, so where the hell is it looking?! The relationship between design time, providers and runtime is really unclear. All of this is a sobering warning of what happens when you become dependent upon external kits and tools. Greg K
RE: More on nth-child in css
Have you tried setting the DOCTYPEto html (i.e. !DOCTYPE html)? see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676915(v=vs.85).aspx HTH Original Message Subject: More on nth-child in cssFrom: Greg Keogh g...@mira.netDate: Mon, July 15, 2013 4:03 amTo: ozDotNet ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com Who says everything works? I just noticed that when I ran my ASP.NET app in the debugger the nth-child applied correctly. When I browsed in IE to the live site on my web server none of the nth-child applied and it all looked dreadful. After 30 minutes of looking in the F12 inspector and looking for other weird IIS and environmental problems I ran a search and finally stumbled across the post below in the noise. Like him, I was tricked into thinking it was my fault. This is a classic example of how brittle things are getting, with subtle and devious interdependencies between components. Greg For some reason I cannot fathom, IE9 defaults to compatibility mode for looking at intranet sites, or an HTML page stored as a file on a PC. Compatibility mode means 'render stuff like a dumb old browser'. This means that when you're designing stuff for a website and you try to preview from your favourite IDE in IE9, none of the CSS3 stuff works. You have to click on Tools -' compatibility view settings' in the IE9 menu and then unclick the pesky checkbox that says 'display interanet sites in compatibility view'. From then on the wretched browser works like any sane browser such as Safari. Why did they do it? Heaven only knows, but it has taken me ages to discover this simple fix due to the fact that I kept blaming my code.

RE: Lightweight database
I have to admit that I have not used it. But I have been following it for a while and looks promising. Sterling NoSQL OODB for .NET 4.0 http://sterling.codeplex.com/ I've also just came across UnQLite, an embedded NoSQL (Key/Value store and Document-store) database engine, http://www.unqlite.org/ that looks interesting, but doesn't seem to have managed code wrappers yet. Reminds me of SQLite, but you know, without the SQL and BSD 2-clause instead of Public Domain ;) - Original Message - Subject: Lightweight database From: Greg Keogh g...@mira.net Date: 6/3/13 10:24 pm To: ozDotNet ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com Folks, an app has just grown with a new feature that needs to store of users, jobs and reports and the joins between them, If I was using SQLite it would be 3 tables with joins. However, rather than use SQLite this time I'd like to consider an alternative that's even more lightweight to setup and use. The app does not currently use any database technology and the guys managing the project are actually scared of them. Can anyone recommend an in-process database (not necessarily relational!) that is has a friendly managed API, small footprint, not too complicated and is easy to get going? I know this is a lot to ask, but there may be some NoSQL options around that I'm not aware of. The most important issues for me are: (1) Minimal dependencies (2) Simple managed API. I'm running a few web searches now for such things, and I can see Redis, Mongo, Couch, Raven, db4o, Cassandra, Eloquera, Lucene, and the list goes on and on. There are too many choices and it would take many days of hard slog to work out which one would be suitable. So perhaps someone has already been through this process?! I've been tempted many times over the last 10 years to write a pure managed single-file database with indexes, and nothing much else (no transactions, no client-server, no schemas, etc). However, I decided to leave it to the experts, and it looks like there are too many of them, and they all over-engineer their works. Cheers, Greg K

RE: Shims
Yeah, I was bummed when I learned that Fakes required Ultimate.I'd used Moles from MS Research, for working with SharePoint, and was hoping to migrate to Fakes. Even with all the MSDN licenses at the client, they would not have had enough Ultimates to cover the developers and the build machines. They can probably still use Moles, but it looks like a dead end since the site claims the Fakes will replace Moles.It may be a better deal, financially, to license Telerik JustMocks or Typemock Isolator. Both are nicer to work with than Moles, I can't speak for Fakes.BTW, Moles was the pre-cursor to MS Fakes - see: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/moles/ Original Message Subject: Shims From: Stephen Price step...@perthprojects.com Date: Mon, August 20, 2012 5:09 am To: ozDotNet ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com Hey all,Has anyone had a look at Shims yet? The documentation says it required VS2012 Ultimate. I got all excited when I read about Shims and then my hopes were dashed. Ultimate? Can't afford that for a sole developer. *sigh* cheers,Stephen
