Chewing the .Net Gristle: March 2009
http://blog.wokket.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Chewing the .Net Gristle. Wednesday, 4 March 2009. Fiddler has been de-throned. Anyone that has worked with me on a web project knows my love of Fiddler. And yesterday I ran across a new tool, Hawkeye. Read-write debugger for .Net windows controls, allowing you to attach it to any .Net winforms. Control on a running application, and sneak a peek at it's innards, properties, fields, methods, events etc. Invoke the methods etc. Of course I'm still on a web project where Hawkeye.

Chewing the .Net Gristle: .NET 4 Data Annotations
http://blog.wokket.com/2009/07/net-4-data-annotations.html
Chewing the .Net Gristle. Wednesday, 15 July 2009. NET 4 Data Annotations. I'm confined to quarters for a week or so, so I figured it's about time I had a play with the new RIA services stuff for Silverlight, and in a lot of ways it feels like it's really close to something really awesome, but unfortunately not quite there yet. Bear in mind I'm looking at it as a replacement to building ASP.Net web apps for internal line-of-business users. End-user feel is pretty nice out of the box. Public string Funky ...

Chewing the .Net Gristle: Linux 2009
http://blog.wokket.com/2009/11/linux-2009.html
Chewing the .Net Gristle. Thursday, 19 November 2009. Every year or so I give linux another go. I've spent untold hours over the last decade or so using it, and even had it as my main OS for a while back in the Redhat 6.2 days, but I've never been totally comfortable with it. Still, variety is the spice of life, and my netbook (Lenovo S10) needed a rebuild, so I thought I'd give the new optimised Ubuntu Netbook Remix. A go This is my story. Oh, and support for my wireless card isn't enabled by default, b...

Chewing the .Net Gristle: Perspective
http://blog.wokket.com/2009/07/perspective.html
Chewing the .Net Gristle. Thursday, 30 July 2009. From the Supersite blog. In a survey conducted last fall, IDC's Kevorkian said only 4.8% of those with a portable media player reported having a Zune, while 61% had some sort of iPod. So, in late 2008, the Zune actually had 50 percent more usage share in the MP3 player market than the Mac did in the worldwide PC market. Given I've never met anyone with a Zune, that really puts the number of Mac fan boys (I jest) into perspective! NET 4 Data Annotations.

Chewing the .Net Gristle. Saturday, 30 July 2011. Entity Framework, Parameterised Queries and Plan Caches. Firstly, apologies if you were expecting regular (or frequent) updates here. I've been pretty for the last few months actually building software rather than writing about it. I've been using a lot of tech that I've only really dabbled with in the past, so most of the things I've been learning have been the same noob things you can read about anywhere. Investigating the issues showed a. But I haven't...
