XCode NET I Was A Huge Fan Of GenltXgt Fro

XCode .NET.

I was a huge fan of Gen<X> from DevelopMentor. It was an unusual move for a training company to release a software product, and unfortunately it didn't do well sales wise, because they cancelled it.

What is Gen<X>? It's a generative programming tool. It lets you use code to generate code. An example of a generative programming task for .NET would be to create type-safe collection classes. The classes are pretty much just copy/paste, and you change around some data types on function signatures. Chris Sells already has a specialized tool for doing this, but now I expect that something using XCode .NET will probably be made from his excellent templates.

What is XCode .NET? It's a port of the Gen<X> code generation engine (XCode) to .NET; however, it uses JScript.NET instead of JScript internally. This has some great advantages: you get strong typing, good debugging, and access to the .NET CLR. It doesn't appear that there is any analogue to the Gen<X> GUI, or any VS.net integration yet; just the command line tool that does all the heavy lifting. I see potential future add-ons... :) Hopefully XCode .NET will inspire a nice community of "template code builders" like Gen <X> did! [The .NET Guy]

Oh hell ya...I'm all about this.  I've been using XSL to generate code lately...

 



If MSN Messenger signs me out automatically again I'm gonna kill someone.  I've got Messenger on 3 different boxes, and I keep getting automatically signed out every 10-20 minutes.  It's REALLY irritating because I'm sure the 140+ people I have on my list are getting tired of seeing me pop up on their screen. 

Am I the only person having this problem?  Apparently not...



As Some Of You May Have Seen A

As some of you may have seen, a draft version of the WS-I Basic Profile has been released (http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/Basic/2002-10/BasicProfile-1.0-WGD.htm).  There has been some interesting commentary so far, and for those of you interested I encourage you to read up.  Strangely enough, the profile supports RPC/Literal but not RPC/Encoded.  I’ve been lobbying for dropping RPC/Lit as well, since there’s so little tool support out there for this mode and there’s really no reason to not just use Doc/Lit if you are going to use literal (XML schema-based) encoding of types.

OK, so I just "aggregated" my own RSS feed, then reposted over it.  Cheesy though.  In the words of Clemens (just before he lost all his Radio data) "I thought everything was just XML-based!"

First Draft of WS-I Basic Profile. And the WSDL "use" attribute fades into the sunset... [Don Box's Spoutlet]

Also good stuff, as I'm on the Basic Profile Working Group...
