I've never really like the migrations. I use a project/raw sql to generate and maintain my databases.

There's absolutely nothing in EF that says you have to use the queries it generates. If you see a non-performant query - write the one you want EF to use instead. And EF handles sprocs perfectly well. It has a slight issue with views that EF requires a PK (unique Entity ID) of some kind - but that can be generated as part of the view. If you're going to bash EF - make sure you're aware of the current capabilities - not what is was 6-7 years ago.

wait until you find out about the pseudo-selectors like nth-child... :wtf:

do a search from the start menu - it's part of ease of access.

That's why they have "Front Towards Enemy" printed on them, with sights to accurately aim the barrage :-D

Naw - then the other developers on the team complain because that's the way they have always done it. The senior developer on the team before you doesn't want to take the time and effort to teach more junior developers better ways of doing things. So in the end - you will rip out all the code you wrote, to replace it with 5X more code/execution paths to be tested :-D

Go take a look at this link: How to install the Windows Phone Developer Tools on Windows Server 2008. You should be able to figure out how to install the SDK on WinXP from it.

When I mobilized with the GA National Guard beginning in 2004, ending in 2006: lots of Skype, Windows Messenger, weekend trips home when I was still in the US. You both have to understand that it's by necessity, not by choice, and it will be difficult being apart. But you're doing what you HAVE to do to support your family. Good luck - been there. Phil

Voted a 1 and dang proud of it. I'm an American and dang proud of it. I was born in Germany - spent my younger years growing up in Germany, Holland, and Saudi Arabia. My wife is Colombian, and she adopted my 2 sons (so now they're eligible for dual citizenship). So piss off with the Uh'merican! Phil

My ex-wives!!!! Phil

Don't forget to tip the waitress :-D Phil

Oh man - you are awesome!!!! Phil

I have the following custom UserControl: <Setter Property="MinWidth" Value="55" /> <Setter Property="MaxWidth" Value="60" /> <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,5,0" /> Here is the referenced DependencyProperty: public static DependencyProperty UICTypeLabelProperty = DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("UICTypeLabel", typeof(string), typeof(UICControl), new PropertyMetadata(String.Empty)); public string UICTypeLabel { get { return (string)GetValue(UICTypeLabelProperty); } set { SetValue(UICTypeLabelProperty, value); } } And here is the usage: But I'm not seeing "Responsible" when the control presents itself on the display. What am I doing wrong? I am also seeing this error message in the Output window: System.Windows.Data Error: 39 : BindingExpression path error: 'UICTypeLabel' property not found on 'object' ''BasicViewContext' (HashCode=13769489)'. BindingExpression:Path=UICTypeLabel; DataItem='BasicViewContext' (HashCode=13769489); target element is 'GroupBox' (Name=''); target property is 'Header' (type 'Object') BasicView is the XAML window that is using the control.

The only problem I've run into has been 32bit vs 64bit applications. Either will run fine on 64bit OS - but most applications have been written against a 32bit model, so they don't play well with 64bit applications. Try syincing your phone against 64bit Outlook - won't work, for example.
