NHibernate Ling for NHibernate 2.0 GA

slagd.com — I was hopefull that by the time 2.0 was actually released that NH.Linq would be caught up, but alas that was not the case. The reason why is that there is new, better, and refactored linq support on its way for NHibernate and is scheduled for the 2.1 version of NHibernate. That’s great and all but it doesn’t really help poor schmoes like me who want to use the existing linq features for now. Ok that’s enough whining for now, on to the fixing. read more...

Hanselman blogs on Atom, AtomPub and BlogSvc, an AtomPub Server in WCF

XNA, Meet WPF

jmorrill.hjtcentral.com — The new D3DImage in WPF opens up worlds for WPF. Direct3D content rendered with WPF...it doesn't get any better! The downside is it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that Microsoft was only targeting unmanaged Direct3D. Yes there is Managed DirectX, but it seems as if MDX is no longer being maintained and it's not so obvious how to get a D3D surface pointer from the API. It really seems MDX has been left in the dust in favor for XNA, which is a very intuitive D3D wrapper. XNA further exacerbates the issue with XNA and WPF. read more...

Suggestion: Internet Explorer 8 Address Bar like Windows Vista

weblogs.asp.net — "Since I’m using Windows Vista I’m very happy with the new view of the path in explorer.exe. It is very easy to navigate to parent folders by simple clicking on the part of the name. If you click on the small arrow you’ll get a list of folders that are located in the same folder. ... Maybe we need to add a new meta tag for this, could be a reference to the sitemap.xml which then gets downloaded like the favicon." read more...
