In conjunction with the WCF Client Proxy Generator I published the other day, I wrote another code generator that I also had great use for in my daily job. Namely an extension that generates the implementation for an EventSource class from an abstract class definition. We used T4 for this too, but the old EnvDTE…
Continue reading →In my job I work on a large application consisting of several components, many of which communicate via Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). When developing an application where both the WCF service and client are in the same solution, the “Add Service Reference” command in Visual Studio is not ideal to use since it requires a…
Continue reading →It is with great pleasure we today can announce the release of AlphaFS version 2.0. It is now available on NuGet, the repository is on GitHub, it has its own webpage, online documentation and a bunch of new features. And we’re looking at a much shorter release cycle in the future. Read the release announcement…
Continue reading →After having moved AlphaVSS over to GitHub the time has now come to migrate AlphaFS as well. The new project homepage is at http://alphafs.alphaleonis.com/ and the GitHub repository can be found at https://github.com/alphaleonis/AlphaFS. Oh, and by the way, the next release is coming close now.
Continue reading →AlphaVSS has now been moved from it’s previous home at CodePlex to GitHub and it also got online documentation instead of that CHM. Visit the website at http://alphavss.alphaleonis.com. What’s new in 1.3? The major news in version 1.3 is that support for versions of Windows earlier than Vista has been removed. This means that the…
Continue reading →In my work I work with a rather large solution in Visual Studio on a daily basis. It contains about 200 projects, where about one third of them are C++ and the rest are .NET. Having all projects loaded means that many things run slower when working with the solution, especially building which frequently builds…
Continue reading →Due to a bug introduced in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 the previous releases of AlphaVSS had a pretty serious bug in that all the platform-specific x86 assemblies were signed with the wrong key-file. The 1.1.4000.2 and 1.2.4000.2 releases fixes this problem. The workaround that has to be applied to your environment if you are building…
Continue reading →AlphaVSS versions 1.1.4000 and 1.2.4000 have been released! In addition to some bug fixes, this release contains a more full-featured sample application, called AlphaShadow, that replicates many of the features from the VShadow sample application found in the Windows SDK. This release unfortunately introduces a few breaking changes that will require you to modify your…
Continue reading →It has been a long time since AlphaVSS 1.0 Beta was first released. A little over two years to be precise. The original plan was of course to go from beta to final in a month or two, but for reasons I’ve rambled way too much about already that didn’t happen. So it is now…
Continue reading →I just discovered that no links on this site worked any more. Seems that mod_rewrite had been disabled for some reason. Anyway, that should be fixed now. Although I guess most of you may not care much since I haven’t updated this page for about a year. But there may be something new coming up…
