I still work on a lot of old technology. Today I was updating one of my client’s systems that consumes a (3rd party) web service - the service was moving from -gasp- anonymous auth to requiring a username and password. (Sent in plain text over non-SSL, mind, but… baby steps. I’m guessing this was good enough to close an audit point.)

The original implementation used the old Visual Studio ‘Web Service reference’ (for old style SOAP .asmx) which was replaced sometime later by ‘Service Reference’ and intended for anything implementing the WCF protocol. The old style didn’t support the WSE security stuff, whereas the newer did.

Turbocharge your SQL development: get more out of SQL Server Management Studio

When SQL Server 2000 became SQL Server 2005, a huge number of things changed. DTS became SQL Server Integration Services, and as part of the package we saw the likes of Analysis Services and Reporting Services. All these additions to the SQL Server family necesitated a change in the suite of management tools - and that meant the death of Enterprise Manager and SQL Query Analyzer, tools loved by everyone, everywhere. They were combined and rebranded as a single tool: SQL Server Management Studio. DBAs and SQL developers cried out in horror - the new tool was, well, new - it was very different and required a change in working practice. What’s more, there was no choice - if you wanted SQL Server you had to use SSMS - there’s no using Enterprise Manager (although you can use SSMS to manage SQL Server 2000.)
