Sometimes I’m being asked how to add metadata to a generated entity in Entity Framework. This metadata can be data annotation or other attributes which can help the developer during runtime. One answer that I give is to edit the T4 template in order to add the attributes. This solution can be combined with the building of an extension to Entity Framework designer which can add more details to the EDM. But it can take some time to develop. Another solution is to create a MetadataType for the entity and us... (more)

Crypto Obfuscator 2010 Review By John Spano

posted by LogicNPLogicNP 1014 days, 17 hours, 41 minutes ago
Tuesday, August 10, 2010 6:19:30 AM GMT
I was recently asked to review Crypto Obfuscator 2010 from LogicNP Software. Since most of my development these days is with Microsoft’s Visual Studio product, I jumped at the chance. Software protection has always been a concern when coding in a language that compiles to any intermediate code. The definition of obfuscate is to make something confusing or difficult to understand. That’s exactly what code obfuscators try to accomplish; take your existing code and make it as hard to reverse engineer and u... (more)

Creating a Twitter client is a really interesting exercise in application development because, amongst many reasons, it's taking input from effectively an infinite number of people and places. Never trust user input, right? Input to your application comes not only in the form of text, but also images. Writing a Twitter client is effectively writing a web browser that only browses one website. Getting a browser stable is hard.

Today I’m going to write about a simple yet powerful way to manipulate properties and methods of a given type. We’ll set values to properties and invoke methods through the use of reflection. Maybe you haven’t had the chance to use reflection or maybe you even don’t know what is reflection. Reflection is one of the most powerful features a programming language has as is the case of C# programming language that I’ll be using in this post. Read on... (more)

Tip 51 – How to load EF metadata from arbitrary streams In Tip 45 I showed you how to build a connection string at runtime, which is pretty nifty. The problem with that was that it relies on having metadata files (.csdl .ssdl and .msl) on local disk. But what if they live on a web-server or something and you don’t even have access to the local file system to copy them locally? Well it turns out you can load the metadata from streams too, and this Tip shows you how.Step 1: Get XmlTextReaders for th... (more)

Brad Wilson: Why You Don't Need ModelMetadata.Attributes

published 1225 days, 8 hours, 26 minutes ago posted by ali62bali62b 1227 days, 11 hours, 32 minutes ago

Hardly a week goes by where someone isn’t requesting that we add a .Attributes collection to ModelMetadata in MVC 2. We don’t want to add this collection, because it gives attributes a “better among equals” status among all the ways that you could express metadata (in addition to attributes, you might choose to get your metadata from your database schema, from data inside a database, from an external configuration source like an XML file, among many other possibilities). If we add .Attributes, we’re dec... (more)
