Last week I downloaded Office 2010 beta thru torrent and my first reaction was…its really awesome.
Its comparatively faster than Office 2007 and even Office Web Apps is too good. One can directly save it into Skydrive which is really very good. There are still many more features which I need to explore…You can download the office torrent through thepiratebay site.

Parallel Linq is nothing but the extension of the LINQ. It is nothing but the concurrent execution of queries on objects. Its main intension is the data parallelism. Microsoft is planning to include in .NET 4. I am really looking forward for .NET 4 release….infact eagerly waiting… …

After LINQ Microsoft Research has recently came with something called has PINQ i.e. Privacy Intergrated Queries. According to Microsoft, Privacy Integrated Queries (PINQ) is not a LINQ provider, but it looks very much like one. Like LINQ, PINQ provides .NET objects which wrap data sources and supporting declarative transformations and aggregations. Unlike LINQ, this is not done for efficiency or modularity, but rather to support the analysis of sensitive data without needing to provide the data itself to the analyst.
One can further read at Microsoft Research site.
It has tutorial page with some sample project.

Previously there were many rumors that Google is coming out with there own OS but now it seems that rumors came out to be true. Google is launching with there own open source OS i.e. Chrome. Its a linux based operating system.

Basic features of Google OS will be light weight, speed, simplicity and most important is security and mostly they are targetting for netbooks. Currently netbooks is fully acquired by Windows XP OS. So definately its a big threat to Microsoft….Anyways lets wait till mid of 2010…..

Recently I got the project of implementing the Linqdatasource for Gridview and it was really a good experience and also got the power of .NET 3.5.

For implementing Linqdatasource, first we need the create the .dbml file i.e. Datacontext File, which will have the mapping of the table in the Sql Server to the Linq.

With the Server Explorer we just need to drag and drop the table and if we want we can define the primary key for that. So datacontext file is created (this is very simple example). If we want to have relation between the table, then we can have that relation also.

Once the datacontext file is created, than drag and drop the linqdatasource and gridview on the design. Click on the gridview and select for the datasource and than select Linq and then in the dropdown list select the datacontext file and rest is very much similar to the normal wizard setup.

After that just run the solution you will see the gridview populated. You can even sorting,paging automatically done without any code written in Codebehind. Also you can have delete and update automatically without writing any code.
You can try to implement its really very easy, handy nd poweful….

After really long delay I atlast installed Windows 7. First thing I will say about Windows 7 is that its really faster than Vista. Boot up time is faster than Vista.
I installed Windows 7 on VPC, since I don’t want to mess up with any of my partition data. And also VPC is very easy to use than to install on HDD.

For instaling in VPC you just have to create the New Virtual Disk, than after all the settings done, you just have to start and capture the ISO image of the Windows 7. Your windows installation will start. Its better if you give 2gb ram for VPC, it will run more smoothly.
Anyways will post my comments on windows 7. Please comments if anyone is facing problem installing Windows 7 in VPC.

Recently my company arranged a training on MOSS (Microsoft Sharepoint Server). Before attending the MOSS session I had some basic overview of MOSS. Its a Content management tool and even you can have your own portal, blog site etc. Its was really a very gr8 to learn MOSS. Current version of Windows Sharepoint Server is 3.0. There are lots of demand of MOSS in current IT scenario. If anyone is planning to switch the company than MOSS is appropriate technology to learn and than switch, so that you can have good package…

Recently I got a requirement of restricting the text entered into a ListView Edit Control, since there is no such property which will restrict the text in ListView control.
After extensive searching in google I got a very good link which implements the same as per the requirement.

Recently I again started reading Design Patterns by HeadFirst and hopefully I will continue with it. So the first pattern I learned was the Strategy Pattern. The example which they have explained is of SimU Duck game. I am really a gr8 fan of HeadFirst series. They have greatly explained with diagrams and also how Interface can be used to come up with this pattern. I will post the example on Strategy Pattern very soon. Till then you can download the HeadFirst Design Pattern through torrent….
