  • Could you please provide me more details about the first bullet in the project LightSpeed; Fix for nested LINQ Any/All call issue?

    Also, it’s great to receive this kind of post every week about the progress in your development but without a link to each thread that have generated a correction, it’s not generally helpful; it’s very hard to figure out whether the bug corrected is applicable to my projects without additional details like original threads. I know that in some cases, there is no thread that can be linked but in other cases, it would be great.

  • Have I missed something? This mentions a WPF Elements Ribbon control. I’d love Mindscape to have a Ribbon control but I was not aware of one and cannot find it online anywhere.

  • @Sam: Great idea, we’ll look at getting links to the threads in there. I’ll ask Jeremy to ping you a link to the actual thread in this case.

    @David: Internal misstep there! We haven’t got it in the nightlies, but it’s coming. Soon. And it’s really nice :-) Look out for the blog post!

  • @JD – excellent news…reasons for dependencies on other second rate software component companies are disappearing before my eyes:) – really can’t wait

  • David, that’s great to hear. If you have *any* other things that would make your life easier with our WPF suite then I’d love to see them posted in our newly released feature request tracker:

    Thanks for your feedback, aways appreciated!

  • @Sam – here is the thread relating to the Any/All update: http://www.mindscapehq.com/forums/thread/352132

  • Can you explain a little bit more about ‘Experimental support for LINQ client side projections being supported in LINQ compiled queries’?

    More specifically about the ‘client side’ aspect? How would that be done.. via js?

  • Client side is referring to the projections which would be run by your application rather than being translated into a server side call. An example would be if you make a method call in a class you have defined. We cant translate this into a database call, so the execution of this is done “client side” or within your calling .NET program. Previously our compiled queries would only support projections where there were no client side components (so the call could be totally translated into a database only query) so the enhancement was to extend this to supporting queries where there were client side projections present.

    Hope that helps clarify this :)
