ADO.NET and SQL Server Everywhere
Steve Lasker has posted a screencast / video over on Channel 9 providing an overview on the various ADO.NET programming options available for SQL Server Everywhere, including an updateable resultset (SqlCeResultSet).
While on the subject, check out the new SQL Server Everywhere team blog and info on the SQL Server Everywhere CTP. Steve's SQL Server (three s') Everywhere FAQ is also a good resource.

Is WinFS Dead?
weservernew.com
WinFS, the new File System that we have been hearing about for years, also known in the past as Cairo, looks like it's been axed. It seems to have become somewhat of an dead weight and it was not clear what to do with it. WinFS was pulled out of Vista a long time ago and BillG's pet project has been rudderless ever since.
We can only assume Ray Ozzie bit the bullet and nixed it. WinFS has always had a positioning problem. It was hard to define, and was described alternatively as "rich storage", and "packaging technology".
Redmond has not publicly announced the funeral, but one of their bloggers said they will not be "pursuing a separate delivery of WinFS, including the previously planned Beta 2 release". Parts of it will be lumped into future SQL and ADO.NET versions. Oh well. Bye Bye!

Want a real-world .Net app to try out various secure development scenarios?
Well there is the Hacme Bank™(Copyright 2004-2006 (c) by McAfee, Inc.http://www.foundstone.com)
It is designed to teach application developers, programmers, architects and security professionals how to create secure software. Hacme Bank simulates a "real-world" web services-enabled online banking application, which was built with a number of known and common vulnerabilities. This allows users to attempt real exploits against a web application and thus learn the specifics of the issue and how best to fix it. The web services exposed by Hacme Bank are used by our other testing applications including Hacme Books and Hacme Travel.

Create Reports from Any Data Source Using SQL Server Reporting Services Custom Data Extensions
I used SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 many times in SQL 2005 trainings i conducted and also at presentation at IT events and always loved to tell people how one can reports from any data source. You do not need to store you data source on a Microsoft SQL Server to get reports.
Here is a nice article (not MSDN whitepaper) which shows you just how to take advantage of Reporting Services' unique extensibility model to build reports from ADO.NET datasets.

My blog entry referenced. I feel useful.
I had made an entry into my blog about web part development. Recently someone had reference my web part blog entry in their blog. It is in French.
I would get it translated soon and find out what was written about my blog. I think he was happy to have all that he needs to know about Web Part development, especially the information on Smart Part.
Here is his blog http://blogs.developpeur.org/redo/archive/2005/02/08/4387.aspx (in French)

BEA ups ante for SharePoint integration and .NET development
Two new BEA Systems products aim to increase value and ease of use for customers using both Java and .NET platforms; the new releases are a milestone on what BEA calls its "unified portal roadmap," announced last December.
BEA made the announcement at the Gartner Portals, Content & Collaboration Summit in Las Vegas earlier this week, saying the products in their portal portfolio are designed for customers using .NET-based apps and services with investment in Microsoft technologies. The announcement covers both the new AquaLogic Interaction SharePoint Console, designed to support integration and governance of Windows SharePoint services within a BEA portal deployment; and the Portal .NET Application Accelerator, an integrated toolset for ASP .NET developers working with the WSRP standard.
