Jasper using IronPython and VS 2008 August SDK
Hi all,
I am using IronPython from the latest VS SDK and trying to run the sample "Querry" from Jasper CTP.
First I realized that I have to add the following into app.config
<
assemblyBinding><
dependentAssembly><
assemblyIdentityname="System.Core"publicKeyToken="b77a5c561934e089" /><
bindingRedirectoldVersion="2.0.0.0"newVersion="3.5.0.0" /></
dependentAssembly></
assemblyBinding> So I managed to compile the project but it fails with the following exception in run-time :
Method not found: 'System.Linq.IQueryable`1<!!0> System.Linq.IQueryable`1.CreateQuery(System.Linq.Expressions.Expression)'.
I guess there is no System.Linq namespace anymore. There is System.Data.Linq.
Any ideas on the issue? Another question is does Jasper really build on top of LINQ functionality?
Thanks for the reply!
I guess it is not a big deal to make Jasper running on the Beta 2 because it seems that there are some broken references only.
BTW, are there any chances for the community to contibute to the project? Because it is an amazing project for all fans of dynamic languages and there are a lot of the feedback on it.
It is actually a bit more work to get Jasper working on Beta2 because of a number of breaking changes to the underlying ADO.Net Entity Framework from Beta 1 to Beta 2. As soon as I have a update with some solid plans, I will make it public.
We actually would love to get the community involved more with Project Jasper. Right now we are very interested in any/ all feedback folks might have. We are in the middle of the planning process trying to figure out what to do in this space going forward – so feedback is invaluable. Feel free to email me directly at aconrad@microsoft.com or post stuff to the forum.
For Project Astoria, we have started a new process where we publish our notes from our design meetings on a regular basis.We are calling this “Open Design” and is in effect a real time window into our design process.And since we are in the middle of coding/ testing the features when the design notes go out – it is much easier for us to change the design & feature set based on developer feedback. As we work on Project Jasper, we will definitely follow the same “Open Design” process.
Let me know if you had some other ideas, etc about community involvement.
