Tuesday, February 16, 2010 11:18:33 AM GMT Monday, February 15, 2010 5:10:48 PM GMT
This week on Herding Code, the gang discusses Uncle Bob’s self-titled blatherings about DI, IoC and Mocking, Clojure and polyglot programming, managed javascript, and recent support for Mercurial at Codeplex. The show finishes up with another K Scott Lightning Round with questions about the iPad and non-technical blog recommendations. Uncle Bob recently published two articles which are a little down on DI, IoC and Mocking. Was he merely trying to get a rise out of the community or was he sending a subt... (more)

Reducing Complexity: WCF and AOP with Castle.DynamicProxy

posted by devstuff2devstuff2 1192 days, 5 hours, 5 minutes ago
Monday, February 15, 2010 8:58:40 PM GMT
Managing logging and exception handling in WCF applications can be very time-consuming. Cross-cutting concerns can become a great burden and generate a lot of work for us. Today, I played a little bit with AOP and Castle Dynamic Proxy (DP) library. If you’re not familiar with AOP please take a look at this. Before I even started with DP, I also considered PostSharp, but eventually I decided to go with DP. Reason: I just don’t like things integrated into VS and doing stuff I cannot fully control. It can... (more)

VS2010 RC: Much Faster than Beta 2 - Bill Wagner

posted by DustinDustin 1192 days, 3 hours, 37 minutes ago
Monday, February 15, 2010 10:26:38 PM GMT
I spent all day yesterday working with VS2010 RC. (MSDN Subscribers could download late on Monday. It becomes public today). First impression:  It is much faster, and more stable than the beta 2 build. The reason for the extra public build and the delay in the launch date was performance. (Soma and the Gu discussed this previously). Caveats:  It’s only been one day. If I were making a ship decision, I’d say VS2010 RC needs a lot more soak time. I put VS2010 RC on ... (more)

Tamper Proofing your Code : Paul Mason

published 1201 days, 18 hours, 39 minutes ago posted by tivittivit 1203 days, 3 hours, 12 minutes ago
Saturday, February 06, 2010 7:24:26 AM GMT Thursday, February 04, 2010 10:51:36 PM GMT
A largely "untouched" area of intellectual property protection is Tamper Proofing. I can only assume that the reason for this is that while tamper proofing methods are easy to add, it is extremely difficult to stop tamper proofing being removed. It all boils down to the simple fact: if your computer can run the program then a hacker can understand the control flow and change your code for their own purposes. This article takes a look at what tamper proofing is, various methods of tamper proofing, and fi... (more)

Silverlight Toolkit LayoutTransformer Control for Angled Column Header Text - Cheryl Simmons

Using the Silverlight Toolkit LayoutTransformer Control for Angled Column Header Text I recently inherited the DataGrid control and, after reading over customer feedback and forum posts, one of the tasks I gave myself was to create a code example for the DataGrid.ColumnHeaderStyle property. After poking around I thought it would be interesting, and hopefully useful, to show how to angle the content of column headers using the ColumnHeaderStyle property. This would save screen real estate since headers, ... (more)
