One of our clients integrates with a financial services company which provides an API to access data. Obviously this needs to be secure. Their QA environment is secured via SSL but is exposed only by IP address. A .NET client will by default throw a security exception when you try to create a SSL connection by IP because the certificate has been issued to a name. This code will get you past that…

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

One of my clients here in southern California has an immediate opening for a full-time .NET developer. If you’re interested email me your resume at biz@tadlockenterprises.com.

Microsoft is getting better with the whole “open source” thing. It’s a big change for them and they are going pretty slow, but at least it’s happening. There are having a lot of success with ASP.NET MVC and now the .NET Micro Framework… so hopefully it continues! In my opinion the Microsoft product development culture itself is too focused on building the next set of features rather than filling out the existing feature set to make it actually useful. This is really where I see the community playing a role in filling out the feature set and fixing those annoying little bugs. Perfect example… Entity Framework doesn’t support SQL UDTs, so the geospatial data types can not be used with Entity Framework. If EF was open source, some smart developer somewhere would just go make it work. At least they are on the correct path…
