WF4 Design Time AttachedPropertiesService and Attached Properties - Matt Winkler

published 1260 days, 18 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1261 days, 5 hours, 51 minutes ago

WF4 Design Time AttachedPropertiesService and Attached Properties I’ve been meaning to throw together some thoughts on attached properties and how they can be used within the designer. Basically, you can think about attached properties as injecting some additional “stuff” onto an instance that you can use elsewhere in your code. Motivation In the designer, we want to be able to have behavior and view tied to interesting aspects of the data. For instance, we would like to have a view updated when an i... (more)

Cygon 1264 days, 8 hours, 36 minutes ago

Simple explanation of the Disposable Pattern in .NET for developers new to garbage collection. Explains when to implement the IDisposable interface only, where a finalizer is required and why you mustn't call into other objects from the finalizer thread. Also shows common use cases illustrating when to implement IDisposable and when to implement the full Disposable Pattern. (more)

The Meaning of 100% Test Coverage

published 1262 days, 28 minutes ago posted by

Cygon 1263 days, 4 hours, 42 minutes ago

The Myth that 100% test coverage means code is completely bug-free has been busted thoroughly. So much in fact, that it is almost risqué to add complete test coverage to your agenda. But is 100% test coverage really 100% useless, or are there some advantages worth striving for still? This article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of aiming for 100% test coverage. (more)

Atanas Hristov: Design Patterns – Chain of Responsibility Pattern - blog about programming.

published 1262 days, 28 minutes ago posted by

http://atanashristov.blogspot.com/ 1265 days, 7 hours, 33 minutes ago

Imagine you have complicated decision logic and you’ve got a big if-then-else like structure in your code which you want to simplify. The Chain of Responsibility Pattern is a good way for code refactoring in such situation. It will make the code more flexible and easy to support and modify in the future. You prepare a set of interdependent chain handler classes linked in a chain. Every chain handler class implements part of the decision logic and has a link to next chain handler object. A request da... (more)

IP Address Blocking or Restriction in SQL Server

sqlarticles 1264 days, 9 hours, 31 minutes ago

I have seen some questions in forums asking for the answer “is it possible to block connections to SQL Server based on IP address”. As far as now there is no official way in SQL Server to block the connections in SQL Server based on IP address. However this can be done from the OS end, we have the following three options available, refer HERE for more. * Firewall * IPSec * RRAS IP Filter (more)

Programmatic Code Coverage Data Merging in Visual Studio 2010 In my last post, I demonstrated how you could use the coverage analysis assembly to analyze coverage files.

This replicates the functionality that the code coverage results tool window has for merging coverage data from multiple test runs together.

Binding Operators for C# 5

KodefuGuru 1263 days, 22 hours, 43 minutes ago

I read this article from Martin Calsyn on the new Microsoft Visualization Language called Videa, and I must admit that I was struck by how awesome binding operators actually are. This is a feature that must make its way into C# 5! Here’s an example of a binding from his article.textbox.Text := slider.Value; This code looks suspiciously like Delphi. In Pascal (Delphi uses Object Pascal), := is an assignment operator. In Videa, := is a left binding assignment. What happens is that anytime the slider’s Val... (more)

Creating a Generic Entity Framework 4.0 Repository

http://senfo.blogspot.com/ 1263 days, 13 hours, 36 minutes ago

With .NET 4.0 right around the corner, I thought it would be cool to download Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 and start playing around with the next release of Entity Framework. The initial release of Entity Framework came with a great deal of criticism. To make matters worse, there was a large uproar when it was rumored that Microsoft would be abandoning LINQ to SQL, in favor of Entity Framework. This was because, at the time, many developers felt Entity Framework was an inferior technology to LINQ to SQL. T... (more)

How Dot Net 4 Side by Side will impact API writers

published 1262 days, 28 minutes ago posted by

http://vistadb.myopenid.com/ 1262 days, 19 hours, 8 minutes ago

As I mentioned in my previous Dot Net 4 strategy blog entry, we have been thinking about how we want to handle Dot Net 4 from an API and runtime standpoint. Just as a little refresher, remember that when I am talking about a .Net 2 assembly it can actually be any of the .Net 2, 3.0, 3.5 or 3.5 SP1 runtimes. They are a layered cake design in that they all use the same base and build up with additional tiers of functionality. You cannot have a .Net 3.5 app without .Net 2 present, doesn’t exist. (more)

published 1264 days, 6 hours, 36 minutes ago posted by

http://atanashristov.blogspot.com/ 1265 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes ago

Factories are objects that encapsulate the logic for creating other objects. Factory object could create one or another object based on some configuration parameters. Or the factory could decide what kind of concrete object to create based on a parameter to some object creational method. For example if the method received post-code the factory creates City object and when the parameter is an email address the factory creates Customer object. In that way one might create factory to select one or anoth... (more)

The Singleton pattern gives us a way to restrict the instantiation of objects of given class to certain number, in the common usage to one only. The Singleton class instantiates itself and works as a global repository for an instance of itself. For example we share a database connection or log writer across all threads in one process. Implementation of Singleton pattern Here i'm going to implement Singleton class in C#. The class should hide its constructor. It has also GetInstance() method that... (more)
