At first I chalked it up to a bug in DBVisualizer, but I tried using Apache DDLUtils against the DB and it started throwing errors which investigation revealed to be c...

Are there any cross-platform frameworks out there that facilitate a kind of "virtual file storage" to encapsulate adding files along with a database of metadata? I'm thinking about something along the lines of iTunes or iPhoto, where the program manages a whole bunch of ...

We have several references like this:- SELECT foo, bar FROM [Server].[Database].dbo.[Table] Which I would like to translate to:- SELECT foo, bar FROM [Database].dbo.[Table] I would like to do this entirely programma...
I'm not sure "Metadata Management" is the right term.... Basically, I have a client who asked for recommendations on "Metadata Management" tools with regard to a data warehousing project they have. I'm guessing the term has to do with creating something like a data dictionary, but I have relatively little experience in this area and am...

Sometimes an RSS feed item will not have a duration value, so I am hard coding a default duration value when it doesn't. I want to get the true duration of the video file. My idea is to use httpWebRequest to get a b...

... it just doesn't work, at all. I've tried for days, with all different combinations of frick'n stuff and it won't budge. There are certainly people out there who seem to be blogging about breezing through this sort of thing without seeing a glimpse of an issue saying things like "We all know that you can show public properties of ex...
I've got a query in C# that is working for me to query the metadata for the Entity Framework. I need to convert it to VB.NET, but I'm struggling to convert the AS keyword to "cast" meta to System.Data.Metadata.Edm.EntityType. I've tried TryCast, CType, Cast, etc. Here's the query in C#: var queryResult = from meta in oc.MetadataWorks...
