TFDP – T4 For Database Projects
05 sep
After working on this for some time, I’ve decided that it was time to publish TFDP to a wider audience. TFDP provides T4 template processing in Visual Studio 2010 database projects. Something that isn’t possible in the current versions.

Export Locals
11 mei
Introduction:
In this forum thread (warning: Dutch) someone was complaining that it’s not really easy to export the contents of the Locals debug window to a XML file. I’ve neved had the need for that myself but I thought, it can’t be that hard. Turns out it isn’t.

.Net 4.0 WinForm Data Binding bug
21 apr
Currently I’m busy with converting a .Net 2.0 WinForms application to .Net 4.0 in VS2010.

Upon opening the window I got a “TargetException: Object does not match target type.” thrown in my face. After a quick tour with the debugger I found the problem: data binding didn’t work anymore!
To find out what the real problem was I’ve built a test application that basically does the same thing as the complex window that is giving me such a headache. (meer…)
