LINQ Expression Trees on the Compact Framework

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:53:56 GMT

A week ago, I was writing about the ability to use Mono's System.Core to run C# 3 and LINQ applications on .net 2. A few months ago, I was writing about the new LINQ provider that friends at db4o released. This LINQ provider uses LINQ expression trees to optimize LINQ queries, turning them into db4o's native query language. Today I'm going to write about a cute new hack from our friends at db4o. If the 3.5 version of the Compact Framework comes with a System.Core, and a LINQ to objects implementation, it doesn't contain the namespace System.Linq.Expressions, which is used by all optimized LINQ providers. What those fine folks did, was simply to take Mono's implementation of this namespace. There was one issue with that approach. Expression Trees can be compiled at runtime, and that uses System.Reflection.Emit, that the Compact Framework doesn't have. A nice thing is that folks at Mainsoft contributed to Mono's System.Core an expression interpreter, which allows you to use the full LINQ expression trees without using System.Reflection.Emit. They sent me the patches they have for the expression interp

Avoid the Managed Extensibility Framework

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 19:09:55 GMT

As a .NET developer, you should avoid using the newly released Managed Extensibility Framework as its license prevents its use beyond the Windows platform. This will prevent your .NET software from running on Linux or MacOS in the future. Luckily, there is a cross platform solution available today that has no platform limitations: Mono.Addins.

MySQL - We beg of thee, add a true "Guid" datatype to MySQL 6.0

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 02:01:02 GMT

Basically, the MySQL Connector/Net (5.2.2.0) provider treats BINARY(16) columns as Guids, though there is not real Guid (uniqueidentifier in Microsoft SQL) data type. However, it's not transparent, there are special read and write methods for it. If you're a MySQL fan let the folks over at MySQL know that you want a true data type for Guids and not an imposter. We appreciate the hard work the MySQL Connector/Net team is doing. After all, MySQL doesn't have a Guid type yet so they are doing what they can. However, we would rather see them lobby the core database engine team for a true Guid column type. How about you?
