One of the newest additions to the .NET 4 framework is MEF. MEF stands for the Managed Extensibility Framework and is the answer to your prayers if you are building an app that allows developers to extend its functionality by building plugins. MEF makes the task of loading assemblies and utilizing their functionality very simple. Before we go any further there are a few basic terms that you must understand before you start using MEF: The Catalog is responsible for loading assemblies. There are se... (more)

Atanas Hristov: Design Patterns – State Pattern

The is a behavioural pattern. The behaviour of object changes accordingly to its internal state. We move the logic to property "State" which has method Handle() and call this method. We change the behaviour of the object as we just switch the value of the "State" property. This is an exapmple of using the State pattern to implement a traffic light. (more)

Basic Instincts - Generic Co- and Contravariance in Visual Basic 2010

Visual Studio 2010 has a new feature called generic co- and contravariance that is available when working with generic interfaces and delegates. In versions that precede Visual Studio 2010 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4, generics behave invariantly with respect to subtyping, so conversions between generic types with different type arguments aren’t allowed.

As I’ve discussed in the past, we work VERY hard in this release to really improve the ease of installing TFS. We’ve done everything from making more components optional, reducing prereqs, configuring prereqs for you, providing better defaults, implementing better diagnostic checks, making configuration serviceable and more. It’s been a lot of work but I think it has really paid off in really transforming the TFS install experience from one that is very ... (more)

Data Points - Precompiling LINQ Queries

published 6 days, 19 hours, 10 minutes ago posted by

Khaled 8 days, 9 hours, 45 minutes ago

When using LINQ to SQL or LINQ to Entities in your applications, it’s important to consider precompiling any query you create and execute repeatedly. I often get caught up in completing a particular task and neglect to leverage precompiled queries until I’m fairly far along in the development process. This is much like “exception handling disease,” where devs try to shoehorn exception handling into an app after the fact. (more)

.NET - Writing Efficient String Functions in C#

The .NET Framework provides a set of powerful string functions. These building blocks can be used to write more complex algorithms for handling string data. However developers aiming to write fast and efficient string functions must be careful of how they use those building blocks. To write efficient string handling functions, it is important to understand the characteristics of string objects in C#. (more)
