ASP.NET MVC3

I want to get back into the habit of blogging.

I’m currently learning the ASP.NET MVC3 framework. I’m going to be blogging about things I have learned while using the framework.

Hope you enjoy it.

Using Linq To XML to Parse XML with Multiple Namespaces

I am working on a SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 project. I decided to write a tool in C# that will document the reports that I have created. What should make this easy is that the structure of the RDL (report) file is XML, which makes it a perfect candidate for using LINQ to XML to dig through its information. Here’s the top of the RDL file I’m trying to process (C:\MyReport.RDL): <? xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> < Report xmlns : rd = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/SQLServer/reporting/reportdesigner" xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2008/01/reportdefinition" > < DataSources > < DataSource Name = "SalesDM" > < DataSourceReference > SalesDM </ DataSourceReference > < rd : DataSourceID > 60c7781c-ab9c-4c5f-b779-24afa5d5bac3 </ rd : DataSourceID > < rd : SecurityType > None </ rd : SecurityType > </ Data

String Interpolation in Powershell Strings

I've been re-learning PowerShell lately. String Delimiters There are two string delimiters available for building strings in PowerShell: apostrophe (') and double quote ("): Write-Host 'Hello World' Write-Host "Hello World" Both of these PowerShell commands send the string Hello World to the console. I fell into the habit of using the apostrophe in my PowerShell scripts, and found that I missed string interpolation that I use so often in C# and PHP. Consider the following example: $name='Rick' $distanceInMiles=10 $greeting = 'Hello, my name is '+$name+' and I work '+$distanceInMiles+' miles from home.' Write-Host $greeting When this script is executed, the following is written to the console: Hello, my name is Rick and I work 10 miles from home.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Rick Hodder and this is my blog. A little about me. I'm a computer programmer by trade, but my interests/hobbies include: Improv Comedy : Both short form (a series of games like the show Whose Line Is It Anyway? ) and long form (the audience is asked for words or phrases, after which a half hour show is created on the spot). I have taken classes and have been an ensemble performer at Gotham City Improv in New York City. GCI was started by a group of "improv"ers from the famous LA improv group called "the Groundlings." I find improv a great way to "get out of my head" - its amazing where your mind can take you. I especially enjoy the fact that you don't prepare: no scripts, just what happens, and how you react to it. You create your own reality, and watch it change as other performers embellish. It's also great for thinking on your feet. Community Theater : I have been involved in theater since highschool. The la
