.Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL Announced

Npgsql .Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL. It is written entirely in C#. This data provider supports the version 2.0 of PostgreSQL protocol.

It is in a very early stage. For now, just the connect/disconnect functionality is working. It parses and validate the connection string and makes the connection.

Any help, suggestion, recommendation is welcome.”

JasonW on Rotor (very cool!)

"With over 9,000 files, and including some 1300 public classes to pore through, the Shared Source CLI can teach you quite a bit about the internal workings of the CLR. But the sheer amount of source code included can make just starting your exploration a monumental task. This article discusses some of the things you can learn from the source code facsimile of the CLR, like how JIT compilation works. It will also help you understand how to control execution along with debugging and loading classes. A walk through the steps involved in setting up the runtime will let you become familiar with the process."

XML Comments Let You Build Docs from C# Source

"C# allows developers to embed XML comments into their source files—a useful facility, especially when more than one programmer is working on the same code. The C# parser can expand these XML tags to provide additional information and export them to an external document for further processing. This article shows how to use XML comments and explains the relevant tags. The author demonstrates how to set up your project to export your XML comments into convenient documentation for the benefit of other developers. He also shows how to use comments to generate help files. "

SQL Server Centric .NET Code Generator

SQL Server Centric .NET Code Generator (code named OlyMars) is both a flexible and powerful code generator based on database modeling.

It allows instant generation of both SQL and .Net code providing a complete library of stored procedures, .NET classes and ready-to-use Windows/Web form controls (including associated documentation).

SQL Server Centric .NET Code Generator is also fully extensible to use one’s own custom templates and consequently can be adjusted to generate any custom code respecting a homogeneous implementation scheme within the company (can be written either in VB .NET or C# .NET).”

This seems to have punted on the multi-language issues, however. sigh.

.NET ANY where, ANY time and on ANY device

From Razvan Caciula:

The objective for the iNET development team is to re-create the complete .NET deployment framework entirely in Java.”

For instance with iNET, corporations can deploy .NET based applications integrated with a J2EE server hosted completely on an IBM mainframe and/or Linux instead of Windows.”

Anyone has used this mixture? :)
