Dan Sullivan pointed out sp_delete_http_namespace_reservation - this is apparently how you undo sp_reserve_http_namespace. Dan was one of the three authors of the authoritative book on Yukon, A First Look at SQL Server 2005 . You should pick it up if...

You can sure tell that everyone is just getting started experimenting with this stuff, because while you can google to find how to *do* something in this space, you can't find the corresponding code to *undo* it :-) What I'm talking about here is sp_reserve_http_namespace...

From time to time MSDN sends me a list of comments from readers for any article they have on their website, from MSDN Magazine to the various dev centers. It's interesting to see how many ways my articles get reused - I even saw a comment from an article...

Here's a nifty article that tells a little story to demonstrate how collisions in hash functions can be used to attack cryptographic protocols such as digital signatures. Some key points about the attack: The attacker created both the original (signed...

Chris kindly pointed out that my previous post was completely asinine. I have been so deep in System.DirectoryServices lately, where just about every damn object you get needs to be Disposed. Keith would kindly like to retract his previous post from your...

I've always known that C#'s foreach statement does implement a try/finally block internally, but today I forgot whether this was to dispose of items in the collection or what. Turns out that this is simply to dispose of the enumerator object, an intermediary...

Turns out dynamic use of XmlSerializer is one thing SQL Server doesn't like very much, and calling a web service using the standard web service proxy does just this. Msg 6522, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 A .NET Framework error occurred during execution...

I've seen a lot of griping from the web service camp over standards committees, and here is the same thing showing up in the security space. In this interview , Marcus points out how IPSec is the poster child for how design-by-committee leads to overly...

Password Minder 1.5.0.6 released Check your version number in Help|About - if you've not upgraded in awhile, you should get this latest build. The only change from 1.5.0.5 to 1.5.0.6 is to allow spaces in passwords, but if you've got an older version...

I've been busy at TechEd all this week. Really busy. We are hosting our first Pluralsight booth, which is so exciting - it's great to see everything coming together. We recently welcomed Matt Milner , Ted Pattison , and Joe Hummel into our rank of instructors...

I've been looking for a simple way to communicate exception information from a web service to its clients. The SOAP spec defines a reasonable way to do this, but the programming model (SoapException) really makes it painful. Here's what I'm trying to...
-
Here's some handy unit testing code I put together to traverse two object graphs and assert that they are the same (at least their public properties). I didn't see anything like this in NUnit, and I wanted something like this to test the output of a web...
-
A parser error has occurred. Exception information: Exception type: HttpParseException Exception message: Could not create type 'Service'. Oh man. This one had me pulling my hair out. I'm posting this so it'll google for me next time :-) Problem? Simple...
