There's a good reason Subway has carved out a reputation as a health-conscious fast-food chain: Its founder, Fred DeLuca, started his first sandwich shop in 1965 as part of a plan to earn money to pay for medical school. From those humble beginnings in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Subway has become the Goliath of the submarine sandwich industry, with more than 37,000 locations around the world. Diners in St. Louis and beyond certainly still think of Subway when they think of sandwiches, but the company is also tackling the breakfast market with an assortment of ham, egg and cheese offerings. The chain, which underscored its healthy-eating concept with a series of ads featuring spokesman Jared Fogle, has begun offering gluten-free bread in some locations, and has also reduced the salt content in some of its better-known sandwiches.

Almost a year ago Pat Barry lost a fight to Lavar Johnson, getting TKOd in the first round. Two fights later, Johnson would test positive for elevated levels of testerone. It's undetermined whether or not Johnson ha the same advantage in his fight with Barry, but according to Barry himself it doesn't matter and didn't factor into the fight:

Much respect Pat. I have enjoyed watching you fight since you joined the UFC. You proved Cecil Peoples wrong when he said leg kicks don't stop fights. I know you are being respectful to Lavar, and I'm sure he is as cool of a dude as you are Pat, but I would hate to see you get bounced from the UFC because the fighters you go against don't keep the playing field level as you do, resulting in losses that u rightfully may have won if your opponent didn't have an unfair advantage.Good luck on Saturday, and may the force be with you.

This was my original though, as well. But I like Pat too much to stay with that opinion.

Barry is a good dude.I would like to see Barry vs Schaub. That guy needs to get humbled again.

All I was saying was that its not a factor "to me". I'm sure it has its advantages, but I don't give a shit. I feel I can still compete against someone who's on it.
6/12/13 6:12 PM by Mark Hunts Pet Monkey
Barry is great. Pat vs Hunt needs to happen before too late. Would be an awesome fight.
6/12/13 5:51 PM by MattyECB
Ya I don't necessarily agree, but I do love this type of response. So refreshing when you consider the amount certain fighters whine about -- even when it isn't a legitimate gripe like Barry's
6/12/13 5:49 PM by MattyECB
Always been a huge fan of Barry's and comments like this just cement it. Leave it to the fans, the organization and the ACs/WADA type orgs handle the crucifixion and shunning. You just keep worrying about winning, and at the end of the day, even though I'm sure it gave him an edge, it doesn't mean that's what let him win. Between the injuries fighters go into, the differences in training camps, locations...etc, it's just another factor to put into the mix. It's bullshit imo because it's an edge, but as a fighter, I think this is the best attitude to foster, especially for a fight that long ago. Don't burn bridges, don't make excuses and keep the chin up Barry. You're always a boss, and with the fucked up amount of fans you have, my mind will be blown if you can't parlay your career into some cushy job after -- regardless of the direction it takes in coming years!

I'm so excited to announce that a book of my drawings is being published and will be released in April. Yes, that's next month!
It's 144 pages, full colour, hard cover. It's being published by teNeues, the venerable art, architecture, and photography book publisher. Serious Drawings is how I've unofficially labeled my work for a while now, and seems like a pretty good title.
The introduction was written by the brilliant visual-arts writer Carolina Miranda, of C-Monster fame. From the book's dust jacket: "Carolina A. Miranda is a freelance writer based in Brooklyn, New York. She has contributed to Time, nytimes.com and ArtNews and is the author of the uncouth and saucy arts blog, C-Monster.net." Saucy indeed. I've been a fan of her blog and her writing style for a while now, so I was thrilled that she agreed to write the intro.
Publishing a book is a dream come true. I've always imagined my drawings in a book. I think it's the ideal format for my work, and I can't wait to do another.
Here are some photos of the proofs from the printer. It looks a bit funny, because it's just the printed pages at this point, unbound.
Here's the cover:
Here's the first page. I couldn't decide which drawing to put first. The pressure was too great! So I drew this:

Baumhower: The answer to last week's questionWritten by Jeremy Baumhower | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Last week's beautifully laid-out Toledo Free Press cover showed a man juggling numerous logos, with the words "What About Don?" below. "What About Don?" was the starting point and inspiration for an article about local residents' growing concerns about levy fatigue and its effect on our wallet.
TFP's inspiration from "What About Don?" came from local radio disc-jockey Fred LeFebvre (1370 AM), who coined the question about a former co-worker, Don Zellers. Don worked part-time for Clear Channel since 2005 and lost his job in October after surviving a few rounds of cutbacks.
From the article:
"What about Don?" is the question LeFebvre asks his listeners to consider when they head to the polls this November. "We want people to begin to think of Don and themselves when they go to vote," LeFebvre said.
LeFebvre has been using "What About Don?" as a rallying cry against the levies scheduled for November's ballot.
There is a fundamental flaw with WSPD using the image and name of a former employee, who lost his job in October, as an inspiration for voters this November. It's really easy to see if you look closely … C'mon, you see it … right? WSPD is owned and operated by Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel is owned by …wait for it … Bain Capital! Bain Capital, the very company at the center of our presidential election, was founded in 1984 by Mitt Romney and others.
In 2006 Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners announced they were acquiring Clear Channel and in 2008 finalized the deal, worth more than $18 billion.
Clear Channel has consistently downsized jobs since its merger with Jacor in the late 1990s. Technology, including the creation of "Voice-Tracking," has eliminated local on-air radio personalities to almost extinction. In October, the Bain Capital-acquired CC eliminated hundreds of jobs, including Don Zellers.
So why is Fred directing the question "What About Don?" to his audience, when it should be directed to Mitt Romney and Bain Capital? Here lies the irony of the situation: Fred wants you to vote President Obama out of office to be replaced by the guy whose company eliminated Don's job? Don could easily afford the property taxes increased or not by the levies if he had not been fired by the Bain Capital-owned Clear Channel.
As catchy as the question "What About Don?" is, it's completely directed to the wrong people. The answer to WSPD's question is: Don Zellers is a victim of Bain Capital and its downsizing, outsourcing, etc. The fact that WSPD is using Don's job loss as a rallying cry for you to vote is comical.
Don deserves better, he's a great guy, lifelong Toledoan, whose name is being used as propaganda against levies and taxes in general. Last October when Don was given his pink slip, I am sure he had a different question in his mind: "Why me?"
Who knows, next year an imported voice from a different city could be using the question "What About Fred?"

Teachers' 'Lap Dance' Raises Questions About Appropriate Behaviour
Filed under: Teens, In The News, Day Care & Education
The videotaped "lap dance" between two teachers at Winnipeg's Churchill High School has parents and students across the country weighing in on what is appropriate behaviour for teachers.
The two teachers performed a dance at a school spirit rally. The female teacher sat in a chair, laughing and cheering, while a male teacher danced in front of her, bumping-and-grinding in time to the music, at one point bending down towards her lap and simulating oral sex. The incident was caught on video by two different students and the footage has made the rounds on YouTube.
The Globe and Mail reports that the teachers have since been suspended without pay. Since the sensational story broke, it has turned up in blogs and newspapers all over the world. In media reports of the incident, interviewed parents and students from the school have come down on both sides of the argument: Some say the teachers should be fired outright, while others say the situation has been exaggerated and that the teachers should be allowed to return to the school.
The incident has also raised questions about whether, in a quest to connect with students and be considered "cool", teachers might be crossing the line into inappropriate behaviour. Dance moves like the ones in question can be found in dozens of popular music videos, and even on popular TV programs like "So You Think You Can Dance" or "America's Best Dance Crew." But even if the dancing was acceptable in broad cultural terms, was it appropriate for teachers to be acting in this manner?
Jane Gaskell, Dean of the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute of Studies In Education, won't comment directly on the incident, but says that professional behaviour is important for teachers, and not just when they are in the classroom.
"I think that a teacher is in a position of modelling behaviour," she says. "Teaching has always been about more than imparting skills in a classroom. It's been about citizenship development, and that means that there are expectations around interactions with young people that are part of the job."
Gaskell says that in order to become role models for their students, teachers must first earn students' respect.
"That's not an easy thing to do, especially when you have a lot of cultural differences between the students and the teachers who don't understand each other," she says. "The generation gap has always been an issue in schools."
Since the flappers cut their hair and went jazz-dancing in the 20s, and hippies "tuned in and turned on" in the 60s, teachers have always had to deal with changing social norms and attitudes towards sexuality. And they've had to make decisions about what is acceptable and unacceptable when it comes to interacting with students.
But can teachers be "buddies" with students, and still remain authority figures?
"I think you're both," says Gaskell." It's like being a parent -- You're a friend to your child hopefully, but there's power relationships that have to be respected and understood. I don't think it's an either/or situation. As a teacher, you have a personal relationship and you have a position of authority and trust, they are both there all the time."
Though Gaskell acknowledges that although this balancing act can be challenging, she says it is essential in order for teachers to maintain the respect of their charges.
"Part of what it means to be a teacher is to get respect that's not just based on your position," she says. "Kids will look up to who you are as a person, your values and your ways of negotiating the world."

Totally inappropriate. First of all, whether or not student's see this behavior elsewhere is totally irrelevant. I agree completely with the quote about teachers needing to model behavior. Secondly, I don't think saying teachers and parents are "friends" or "buddies" with their students/children is quite right. Not in the sense that we (I am both a teacher and a parent) ever will have the kind of relationship as their peer friends do with them. I see a lot of teachers (especially the younger ones, like me) fall into that difficult trap of wanting too much to be cool and liked by the students, and that's how you end up with something like this lap dance. I don't think we need to be like the stereotypical schoolmarm or Catholic school nuns and be unreasonably strict and stern-faced. Just act mature, respectful, and if there's any question at all about something, it's better to refrain.

With friends like that who needs enemies!!
Our children are under attack by the very people, parents are supposed to trust to teach them the 3 R's.But they arent even doing that these days.
All the scandals over the last decade or or so have made it clear that whats really going on is they are teaching them to lie and cheat...not to mention the lastest scandal of taking bribes.
Its teachers like those mentioned above that consistanly undermine parental guidance/morals; due to the fact that they spend more time with our children than we can, due to the necessity of duel income households.
They have 8 hrs out of the day; not to mention extra ciricular activities to poison the minds of our children,while we who love and only have our childrens best interests at heart; slave away in some cubicle 8 or more hours a day just to make ends meet.
When are the schools going to start TESTING teachers for mental compentency and a strong understanding of the 3 R's not to mention the maturity needed to prepare children for the real world ?

Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo grapes have been grown for centuries in the hilly region of northern Italy, and have more recently started to appear in many New World countries, too, where modern vintners have expressed great enthusiasm for their fine characteristics. Their fame and popularity is widely known, and the Nebbiolo varietal is recognized as the grape responsible for producing the legendary fine wines of Italy. Indeed, this grape is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, ranging from truffle and prune, to tobacco and violets, making the wines they produce a sensory delight which simply get better the longer they are aged. The grapes also lend a beautifully pale red color to their wines, which helped secure their place as some of the finest and most elegant to be found anywhere on earth.
Region: Piedmont
The region of Piedmont in the cool, breezy north-western part of Italy is renowned throughout the world for high quality, flavorful and delicious red wines, and for the elegant and refined sparkling wines such as Asti which typify the area. The region is located at the foothills of the Alps, close to the French and Swiss borders, and benefits from some interesting micro-climates formed by its proximity to the mountain range. The key grapes for the fine red wines of Piedmont are Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Barbera – all powerful varietals which are packed full of a range of fruit flavors and which have an affinity for oak making them ideal for aging When it comes to the sparkling Asti, wineries cultivate plenty of Moscato grapes, whose relative transparency make them ideal for expressing their terroir and providing some interesting flavors in the bottle.
Country: Italy
For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.

Investing in Stronger Cities and Stronger Regions for a Stronger America
Tuesday, I spoke to the National Urban League to celebrate their long running dedication to the idea that economic empowerment can elevate underserved urban communities. I also discussed how the President's vision for how America can win the future means making sure all our neighborhoods, cities and regions – and the men, women and children who live in them -- are well-equipped for the 21st century. Economic growth needs to be inclusive and the opportunities for upward mobility should be widely shared. Through this Administration's new place-based approach, we are making smart investments and encouraging smart planning as demonstrated by the Partnership for Sustainable Communities; we are helping create communities where people want to live and do business with efforts like the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative; and we are strategically investing in our future through place-based efforts like the Regional Innovation Clusters Initiative.
The President has said that strong cities are the building blocks of strong regions, and strong regions are essential for a strong America. The investments that we've made to strengthen our economy, revitalize our communities, and strengthen our education system will leave our country – and all her citizens -- standing on stronger ground than ever before.

People gathered at Spitzie's Motorcycle Center on Central Ave for the launch of a motorcycle safety awareness campaign.
The number of motorcycle registrations has gone up steadily over the years, according to the state DMV. The Albany County Sheriff's Department hopes the program will get drivers to be more focused and aware.
"There are many dangers that the motorcyclist is exposed to. We want the motorist out there, all motorists to share the road properly and let everyone know the huge thing now is distracted driving. No text is that important that it can't wait. No phone call is that important that you can't pull over and make that call safely," says Lt. Kerry Thompson.
In 2011, there were 123 crashes in Albany County in which a motorcyclist was seriously injured or killed.

The Sorry State of the CIA
From the July 19, 2004 issue: And why it's unlikely to improve.
Jul 19, 2004, Vol. 9, No. 42 • By REUEL MARC GERECHT
BECAUSE OF IRAQ, and a continuing Washington blood-feud over the decision to go to war, both Congress and the press are perhaps more focused on the Central Intelligence Agency than at any time since the Church committee hearings of the 1970s. The departure of George Tenet as director of central intelligence should be an occasion for taking stock, with a view to revitalizing the Agency. Yet its muscle-bound bureaucratization, combined with the failure of the press to accurately represent to the public and to the rest of the government the Agency's actual problems, not to mention the tenor of the current recriminations, holds out little hope that we will see the innovation needed to combat bin Ladenism on the ground: the deployment of a new cadre of operatives working inside organizations like al Qaeda. Despite Tenet's constant discussion of rebuilding the clandestine service, we are still largely stuck in the past.
When I entered the CIA in 1985, Aldrich Ames's treason and the Iran-contra scandal were in gestation, yet headquarters in Langley, Virginia, seemed a happy place. The vast majority of officers were pleased to have William Casey as the director of central intelligence. The die-hard cold warrior had clout at the White House, which meant money from Capitol Hill and respect. The Carter years had been, everyone inside said, a time of drift. The revolution in Iran--the CIA's utter failure to see it coming--and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan--an event belatedly foreseen and poorly understood at Langley--had depressed an institution battered morally by the 1970s. It was difficult to find spooks who liked President Jimmy Carter's director, Stansfield Turner, always reproached inside the clandestine service as a prig.
Under Casey, the Directorate of Operations, the official name of the clandestine service, was awash with cash and manpower. During Ronald Reagan's presidency, the CIA wasn't loved by the liberal establishment from which it had sprung, but neither was it as scorned as it had been under Presidents Gerald Ford and Carter. Of course, insiders had complaints. Many senior DO officers didn't like Casey's love of covert action. Vis-à-vis the Soviet Union, the United States was being, for them, too provocative. For most operatives, espionage was the finest, if not the first, calling of American intelligence overseas. Some analysts in the Directorate of Intelligence, which politically has usually been somewhat to the left of the Operations Directorate, thought similarly. Within the DI, there were concerns that Casey and the Reagan White House were trying to encourage analysis depicting the Soviet Union as more menacing than it really was. (Neither case officers nor analysts are as overtly political as the average American diplomat, who is more often than not staunchly Democratic. But they are not politically neutered creatures, tenaciously holding on to some all-American civil-servant middle ground. Case officers tend to be more earthy and politically incorrect than analysts and diplomats, but such a disposition doesn't necessarily produce hawkishness in foreign affairs or skepticism about the welfare state.) Politics aside, Casey's tenure seemed to most in Langley, and in the stations and bases worldwide, a good if not golden age.
It's good to remember Casey and his CIA when judging George Tenet's tenure as director of central intelligence. In their institutional affections, in their grand vision of how the CIA fits into American power and government, in the (sometimes unjust) criticisms made of them, and in their ultimate failure to build and run competent espionage organizations, the two men are quite similar. It is, of course, their failure to confront the espionage problem that is the least appreciated outside the Agency. The truth is, Langley has waged clandestine-intelligence collection operations in a surreal way, whether against the Soviet empire and a miscellany of other targets during the Cold War or, most damningly of late, against Islamic holy-warrior terrorists. Accepted wisdom has already formed about Casey and Tenet's both nurturing a rebirth of the clandestine service from the doldrums of their predecessors. More than any other directors since the 1950s, they certainly sought to restore the operational joie de vivre and glory of American intelligence.

How Vegetables Can Transform Our Community
Inspired by this TED blog post on the transformative power of vegetables, these videos begin to explore the deeply positive impact growing vegetables can have on our communities: local, national and global.
First Rodger Dioron explains our situation, and it doesn't look good: To keep up with population growth, more food will have to be produced worldwide in the next 50 years than has been over the last 10,000 years combined. Not only that, but it seems we will have to do it with less oil, less farmland and less genetic diversity. In addition, the population is at it's most unhealthy. While some are suffering from diseases of over consumption, others suffer from daily hunger. Dioron points out that when we go to the grocery store, we have more food choices than ever before – but we have lost most control over and connection with our food. So how can we improve our situation?
According to Dioron, the answer lies in GARDENS. He encourages the public to redefine what good food is, and redefine their living spaces by turning lawns and backyards into kitchen gardens.
Benefits of Gardens:
- • Grow safe, delicious, healthy food
- • Foster the growth of health children
- • Give power back to the consumer
- • Increase economic savings for families (Dioron has saved over $2000)
- • Foster a greater sense of community
- • A more practical and purposeful use of space than regular lawns
Presently, only 2% of produce comes from kitchen gardens, and Dioron would like to see that figure at 25%, which he believes is realistic – pointing out that at the peak of the Victory Garden movement the figure was at 40%. Increasing access to foods that are healthy for us and the planet is the biggest challenge we face. Kitchen gardens could very well be a key component of the solution and represent a cost effective investment.
Stephen Ritz is a 6th grade teacher in the south Bronx, the poorest Congressional district in America. Obesity is an epidemic, almost all his students live below the poverty level, many homeless or in foster care. Most students don't graduate high school, and even fewer attend college. Ritz was determined to prove to his students that they didn't have to leave the Bronx to get an education, earn a living and have a brighter future. He developed EDIBLE WALLS which have transformed a generation and a community.
Edible Walls:
- • Grow plentiful vegetables and herbs
- • Can be installed indoors/outdoors
- • Students learn how to install
- • Gives students new purpose, allows them to earn wage
- • Improves health of students and community
- • Installed in over 200 NY schools
- • Walls produce 25,000+ lbs. of produce per year
- • Produce goes back to schools, homeless shelters (where many of the students eat)
Ritz's students garnered national attention, and have installed edible walls on such buildings as the The Hancock Building in Chigaco and NY's Rockefeller Center. Not only has it changed these students' community, but this movement has changed their futures. Since starting the Edible Wall Program, Ritz's class attendance went from 40% to 93%, with 100% of his first group of students now in their first year of college. As Ritz exclaims, "If you can grow in the Bronx, you can grow anywhere."
In just over 3 years, Pam Warhurst has transformed her small town of Todmorden, England. She rallied a group of volunteer citizens to start planting vegetables in public spaces, permission not always granted. As Warhurst explains, these citizens were ready to start a revolution: to change the way people see public spaces, to reinvent community, to take responsibility for their own health, and to help foster a deeper connection to their food. Today, Todmorden is changed. Edible gardens are now flourishing in cemeteries, in front of police stations, and around railroad stations and elder care centers.
But more than just transform her local community, Warhurst's efforts have been felt globally. Todmorden has now started "vegetable tourism", where people from all over the world come to tour their town. Their movement has also been copycatted in 30 other towns in England, as well as by communities in Japan, America and New Zealand. Warhurst's movement, now called Incredible Edible, displays the potential of small actions to truly transform the world.

The interesting thing to watch now is going to be what changes to the marginal-tax-rate schedule the left agitates for next. Now that "The Bush Tax Cuts" (i.e. whatever the marginal-tax-rates were from ~2001-2012) have been allowed to 'expire' (i.e. raised so that they are higher numbers than they previously were, but equal to some numbers they had been a while ago) for wage-earners above the magic threshold of $450k, what that means is that everyone making $450k or above is now paying "Clinton-Era Tax Rates".
So, they're set. Right?
Because as we all know, "Clinton-Era Tax Rates" were the metaphysically-perfect numbers for marginal tax rates to be. That is the period in our nation's history when the tax schedule attained metaphysical perfection. Everyone knows that.
I assume this means the left will agitate for tax increases on "the rich" no further, and focus on trying to increase taxes for the middle and below, and to make the tax code more regressive. I mean right? Why would the marginal tax rates on "the rich" need to change any further now that they are back to the magic, perfect "39.6%" number that Clinton discovered? They wouldn't. QED.

39.6? We're going all the way to 90 if possible. Both ideological strains of American politics are trying to recreate the 50s, and absurdly high taxes and unionization is the way forward for the left. Just don't mention immigration restriction, we dont talk about that.

The New Year will start off with a big change at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho.
A new era will begin for the non-profit which serves as an after-school and summertime haven for lots of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho kids.
"Our attendance is increasing at the clubs,"said Tim Sheahan, President and CEO of the two locations. "We've also put a major focus on our education so we've got our kids working hard on their educational needs and also their healthy habit needs."
In his seven months leading the organization, Sheahan has also looked to expand, and now he may have found a way to grow.
Both club locations will change names from the 'Boys & Girls Clubs of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho' to the 'Boys & Girls Clubs of Central New Mexico' starting Jan. 1.
"And that is the guide to future expansions to serve more kids within this region," said Sheahan. "There's a lot of kids that need our support after school and hopefully over the next few years as the revenue increases, we're able to get more support through the community and our support has been growing tremendously this past year."
Sheahan hopes this will lead to more locations spread across Central New Mexico.
More kids means more funding opportunities, he admitted.
"I'm really excited about it because Boys and Girls Clubs needs to be out there 28 we were out there one time I believe and kind of shrunk for a while," said Sheahan.
The local organization is still working on its strategic plan but the goal is to serve more children, more often.

So you have an application you've written in Visual Studio 2005 and you want to dig in, convert this baby, and start using LINQ in Visual Studio 2008. In this post I'm going to outline what steps are involved to get LINQ working based on what providers you may want to use.
In Visual Studio 2008 there's a new multi-targeting feature that allows you to work in Visual Studio 2008 but be able to write applications targeting either the .NET 2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 Frameworks. ScottGu has a good post that talks about this and so does Rick Strahl. This means that going forward you won't have to load multiple versions of the Visual Studio IDE onto your machine in order to work on applications targeting previous versions of the framework. (Note: If you are targeting .NET 1.0 or 1.1 frameworks then you'll still have to load 2002 or 2003 IDEs.) This is good news because it not only saves disk space and context switching, it allows you to take advantage of the new IDE tools like debuggers and editors without the risk of upgrading your current projects. However when you do want to upgrade a project to 3.5 to start taking advantage of LINQ, you need to import some of the new namespaces yourself.
When you first open up a project written in Visual Studio 2005 inside Visual Studio 2008 it will prompt you to upgrade the project. What this actually does is update the project (.vbproj) and solution .(sln) files to be compatible with VS 2008. The project file is actually still backwards compatible with VS 2005 so you can still open it there, the solution file however, is just one way. So if you have a team of developers working with a mix of both VS 2005 and VS 2008 IDEs you'll need to keep two solution files, but luckily your project files (which change much more often than solution configurations) can be shared.
Now all this upgrade process does is upgrade your project and solution files, your application will still be targeting the .NET 2.0 Framework. In order to upgrade your apps to use new features like LINQ you'll need to change the target framework and add some references. You'll also want to turn on the new Option Infer feature. This allows the compiler to infer local variable type declarations by evaluating the right-hand side of the expression. This becomes extremely useful when writing LINQ queries. To enable this, double-click on My Project in the Solution Explorer to open the project properties and select the Compile tab. Under Option Infer select "On".
Now to change the target framework, click the "Advanced Compile Options..." button and you can change the target in the dropdown:
Select the 3.5 Framework, click OK, and the project will be closed and reopened. If you open the project properties again and look on the References tab you'll notice that the System.Core.dll version 3.5 is now being referenced automatically for you. However, in order to start using LINQ you'll need to import a couple namespaces and add a couple more references depending on which LINQ providers you want to use. To enable pure LINQ to Objects, on the References tab under Imported Namespaces select System.Linq. You'll now be able to write queries that work over objects like:
Dim currentFiles = From File In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(CurDir) _
Select My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo(File)
In order to write queries that work over DataSets you'll need to add a reference to System.Data.DataSetExtensions then you'll need to re-run the Dataset generator on the DataSets you want to write LINQ queries over. Just right-click on the DataSet and select "Run Custom Tool". This will regenerate the DataSet code so that the DataTables now inherit from a LINQ-ready class called TypedTableBase which is in the System.Data.DataSetExtension namespace. You'll now be able to write queries that work over typed DataSets. For instance, you can now write:
Dim total = Aggregate Products In Me.CategoryProductDataSet.Products _
Where Products.CategoryID = 1 AndAlso _
Products.Discontinued = False _
Into Sum(Products.UnitPrice * Products.UnitsInStock)
If you want to start using the LINQ to XML provider you'll need to add a reference to System.Xml.Linq.dll and import the namespace System.Xml.Linq. You'll now be able to write queries that work over XML like:
Dim survey = XElement.Load(CurDir() & "\questions.xml")
Dim questions = From q In survey...<question> Select q
Finally, if you want to start using LINQ to SQL classes in your newly upgraded project, it's really easy. Just right-click and select Add New Item and select the LINQ to SQL classes template which opens up the new O/R designer and automatically adds the reference to System.Data.Linq.dll for you. This allows you to write queries like this (against SQL-server):
Dim countryList = From Customer In Db.Customers _
Where Customer.Country <> "" _
Order By Customer.Country _
Select Customer.Country Distinct
So I hope that clears up how to get started with LINQ in your current applications that you're bringing into VS 2008. So what are you waiting for? ;-) Happy LINQing.
The multi-targeting isn't exactly honest. Even if you target 2.0, everyone has to use VS 2008. There is no way to slowly migrate your team over to the version.
Hi grauenwolf,
As I mention you do need to keep two separate solution (sln) files one for VS 2005 and one for VS 2008, but the project files which change much more often can be shared across both versions.
So I decided to post a summary of all the content the VB team members, including myself, have created
I blogged last week about the new face lift that the Visual Basic Developer Center got and more features
I've just gotten caught up on Scott Hanselman's latest Hanselminutes and wanted to point out this great
In my previous post on TableAdapters and Transactions I showed a couple techniques on how to perform
We have a generator which automatically generates the projects and solutions for Visual Studio 2005, i would like to know the changes that we need to make for Visual Studio 2008.
Does anybody have an idea what changes that the migration wizard does in the project and solution files?
Hey Beth, thanks for your tips
LINQ is great
i know this is really old, but i have a vb2005 app. I do not want to touch the client machines (over 500), so if I just convert the development machine to VB2008 or 2010, will I be able to publish the app as i did in vb2005 (using OneClick), and not have to make any changes to the clients?
