In my last post, I explained how to host Mono’s C# Compiler As A Service in your .NET applications. In this post, we’ll explore this a bit further, and see how to leverage Mono’s compiler as a service for implementing some dynamic querying features in your .NET applications. Read my first post How To Host Mono’s C# Compiler as a Service in your .NET Application if you missed it.

I received a mail some time back, asking me to “clarify in simple words the concept of LINQ to Events”. This is a quick post on LINQ to Events a.k.a the RX Framework, and the objective of this post is to high light some of my previous posts on the same topic. NET Rx team (this is not an official name) found that any push sequence (events, callbacks) can be viewed as a pull sequence (as we normally do while accessing enumerables) as well – or they are Dual in nature. In short observer/observable pattern... (more)

This post is about creating a custom View Engine for ASP.NET MVC, leveraging the Text Template (T4) infrastructure already out there, and this is largely experimental :). This is in fact a spin off idea of some thing else I was doing :). [+] Download Related Source Code For me, the most beautiful aspect of ASP.NET MVC is it’s extensibility – they way you can ‘stretch’ the framework, to make it suitable for your own needs.

In this post, we’ll go back to the basics to uncover few interesting aspects of C# 4.0 dynamic features. Let us start with a simple experiment. Static Typing or Early Binding Let us start with a bare minimum program. Fire up VS2010 and try the following code. It is obvious that this won’t compile. Simply because, the compile/design time checking ensures type safety - and as we don’t have a method named SomeStupidCall in our Human class, we can’t compile the same. So, that is what you get.

Triggers and Actions – Scratching the Surface A Trigger can invoke a set of Actions, when it is fired. For example, you can nest few actions (like PropertyChangeAction to change a property of an element) in an EventTrigger, so that those actions will get executed when a specific Event occurs. You can attach more than one trigger to an element. If you have some WPF background, you may quickly remember the DataTriggers, MultiDataTriggers etc. There are various Triggers and Actions that comes ‘out of the b... (more)
