Dec 20th
What is SPMetal?
SPMetal is a command-line tool that generates entity classes, which provide an object-oriented interface to the Microsoft SharePoint Foundation content databases. These classes are primarily used in LINQ to SharePoint queries; but they are also used to add, delete, and change list items with concurrency conflict resolution. Finally, they can be used as an alternative to the regular SharePoint Foundation object model for referencing content.

HostForLIFE.eu Proudly Launches Scalable Enterprise Email Hosting
Dec 17th
HostForLIFE.eu, a leading Windows web hosting provider with innovative technology solutions and a dedicated professional services team proudly announces Enterprise Email Hosting for all costumer. HostForLIFE.eu aim to help you grow your bottom line whether it is driving direct sales from emails, driving website traffic or delivering outstanding service.
Enterprise Email is a great tool for communicating to existing customers, or individuals who know your organization well enough and have interest in opting-in to receive your e-mail. Your promotions, sales and offers get their attention, meet a need, and encourage them to do more business with you. What e-mail marketing typically doesn’t do very effectively is attract the attention of new customers.
Robert Junior and Sophia Levine from HostForLIFE.eu say:
“Once a business has secured a domain name, we setup an email hosting account for them and they can choose any email account they wish. Most popular email accounts for small business are sales, info and accounts, although it can be virtually anything once you own your own domain name.” Robert says.
“I would expect that once more small business owners had the flexibility to mange their own email hosting, they would save money on their monthly internet costs because there are always cheaper deals being promoted. Of course email hosting does not replace your internet service, but it enables you to switch to a cheaper plan and not loose contact with your customers.” Sophia says.
“Our clients have found that they are able to save money on their internet services because once they no longer rely to manage their email, they can shop around for a better deal, save some money and take their Email Hosting with them. Having your own domain name and email hosting also improves your business image far more that an ISP account or hotmail email address.” Robert says.
“What many small business owners often struggle with is continuing to pay high internet service costs to keep their allocated ISP email address if they use their ISP email for their business. What people do not realise is that if they were to purchase their own .com or etc domain name they have a unique email address like ‘sales@hostforlife.eu’. It means they can move to a cheaper ISP if they find a better deal and not risk losing contact with their business contacts.” Sophia Says.
HostForLIFE.eu provides a full suite of self-service marketing solutions with the following features: Total Bulk Email up to 10.000 emails/month with total maibox is 5, users receive 2 GB mailbox quota, a platform fully support Blackberry, SPF/DKIM/TXT, WebMail Access, and POP/SMTP/IMAP.
Are you sending direct mails to your customers just once a month or every three days? Simply choose the plan that suits you the most. All price plans are based on actual use of the system – from 10,000 e-mails sent out in a month starting at €8.00!

European HostForLIFE.eu Proudly Launches Entity Framework 6 with FREE Trial Hosting
Dec 11th
HostForLIFE.eu offers a variety of cheap and affordable European Windows ASP.NET Shared Hosting Plans to fit any need. No matter whether you’re starting a Blog with WordPress, installing a CMS solution with Drupal, opening a Forum with PHPBB, starting an Online Store with nopCommerce, or any number ventures beyond those mentioned above, our Windows ASP.NET Web Hosting plans are exactly what you’ve been looking for. HostForLIFE.eu is Microsoft No #1 Recommended ASP.NET Host Provider.
Entity Framework 6 (EF6) is an object-relational mapper that enables .NET developers to work with relational data using domain-specific objects. It eliminates the need for most of the data-access code that developers usually need to write.
Entity Framework is now available and there are top features to consider in this minor release:
Features that come for free. These are capabilities that are part of the core. You don’t even have to know they’re there to benefit from them, much less learn any new coding.
Level-setting features. A major enhancement is that Code First now supports mapping to Stored Procedures, something that has been supported by models created in the designer.
Another change is more interesting. With EF6, the EF APIs have been extracted from the .NET Framework; they’re now completely encapsulated in the NuGet package.
EF Designer in this category. It has been moved out of Visual Studio as of the 2013 edition, and instead provided as an extension to Visual Studio.
Ninja features. Support for asynchronous queries and saves, the return of custom Code First conventions, more extensibility using the new DbConfiguration type, support for mocking in unit tests, configurable retries on spotty connections, and even more.

European SharePoint 2013 Hosting :: How to Configure Current Navigation in SharePoint 2013
Dec 10th
Configuring current navigation settings for each SharePoint site is similar to global navigation. You have the same options to automatically show pages and subsites in SharePoint.
You have these options to determine what items appear in the site’s current navigation:
- Display the Same Navigation Items as the Parent Site: This option displays the current navigation items using the settings of the parent site.
- Managed Navigation: This option enables you to manage navigation using a set of terms you define called Managed Metadata. When you select this option, your site will show sites and subsites based on the terms you have defined and not the subsites and pages in the site. When you select the Managed Navigation option, the option to show subsites and pages disappears.
- Structural Navigation: This option gives you the choice to display subsites and pages below the current site.
Remember : Choosing the Show Pages and Show Subsites options in the Global Navigation section makes navigation items show for pages and subsites in the top navigation. Choosing the Show Pages and Show Subsites option in the Current Navigation section shows the navigational links in the left navigation.
