entityspaces.net — EntitySpaces 2009 will plug right into Visual Studio and it will use its own internal code generator. This means that Visual Studio users will never have to leave Visual Studio to work on or generate their EntitySpaces architecture. The image below shows how EntitySpaces 2009 looks embedded within Visual Studio. While it is likely to change a little before our first beta this should provide you with a feel for ES2009. The nice thing is that ES2009 is a dockable window just like any other window within Visual Studio, you can even generate your EntitySpaces classes directly into your solution and the folders/files will be created automatically for you. read more...

entityspaces.net — EntitySpaces has teamed up with Justin Greenwood (shown left) of MyGeneration Software to create a brand new code generation engine for EntitySpaces 2009. Because of Justin's code generation expertise we contaced Justin and asked him to create a very simple, lightweight code generation engine whose only job is to execute templates (there is no user interface support by design). The code generation engine makes the EntitySpaces MetdataEngine available as an intrinsic object available to all templates through the "esMeta" property. We already have a working version of the code generation engine and thought we would share our progress with you. read more...

entityspaces.net — Basically, the MySQL Connector/Net (5.2.2.0) provider treats BINARY(16) columns as Guids, though there is not real Guid (uniqueidentifier in Microsoft SQL) data type. However, it's not transparent, there are special read and write methods for it. If you're a MySQL fan let the folks over at MySQL know that you want a true data type for Guids and not an imposter. We appreciate the hard work the MySQL Connector/Net team is doing. After all, MySQL doesn't have a Guid type yet so they are doing what they can. However, we would rather see them lobby the core database engine team for a true Guid column type. How about you? read more...

entityspaces.net — I have always built architectures on top of ADO.NET DataTables, they're fast (yes), flexible, and the power it provides is really pretty good. Additionally, as new features are added to ADO.NET they can then be easily absorbed. We were able to add LINQ to SQL to EntitySpaces by simply turning a LINQ query into an ADO.NET DataTable. Once we exchange the LINQ query for an ADO.NET DataTable the EntitySpaces architecture functions as normal since its underlying data structure is a DataTable. Pretty sweet. Here's a nice little trick in case you are not aware of it. read more...

entityspaces.net — Part One described the process of getting Silverlight to interact with a WCF web service, and showed how to bind EntitySpaces based data objects (WCF client proxies) to Silverlight controls, specifically a DataGrid control. While there were a lot of pages of review in Part One, it was mostly point-and-click “configuration coding”, as MyGeneration, EntitySpaces, and Visual Studio did most of the work for us. But showing data in a grid isn’t very exciting. It’s time to look at some interaction with data and give EntitySpaces a little more credit than just a data wrapper. read more...

entityspaces.net — I was asked to see how easy it would be to get EntitySpaces objects to work inside Silverlight, and to demonstrate my findings. This was a curiously interesting notion, since many have pondered whether Silverlight is a valuable runtime environment for LOB (line-of-business) applications. There are a number of reasons why Silverlight, at least in its Version2 flavor, would be very ideal for building client/server applications ... read more...

entityspaces.net — We are very excited to offer this Alpha release for those who want to get a head start with EntitySpaces 2008 (ES2008). This Alpha release supports only C# class generation from within CodeSmith, and only supports Microsoft SqlServer. A subsequent beta release will support CodeSmith, MyGeneration, C#/VB.NET classes, and all of our providers. The Alpha release comes with both .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 runtimes. The Alpha comes with the new, very powerful, SubQuery Enhancements to our DynamicQuery API. read more...

entityspaces.net — Imagine never having to leave Visual Studio while creating and shaping your EntitySpaces based application. Simply pop into the "CodeSmith Explorer", right mouse on our "Master Template", execute it, include the newly generated files into your solution, compile, and you're off and running in a matter of a few minutes. So Sweet. read more...

entityspaces.net — We're busy working on EntitySpaces 2008 (ES2008) and thought we would demonstrate to you how subqueries will work. If you are familiar with our Join syntax then subqueries will feel like a perfect extension. The EntitySpaces 2008 architecture allows subqueries on the Select, the Where, the From, and the Join statement. Before we look at subqueries take a moment to review how our join syntax works. The EntitySpaces DynamicQuery API has proven to be very popular, so much so that other architectures are following suit. read more...
