N-Tier Methods in Entity Framework 4 – Use with Care : Don't Be Iffy

posted by

https://me.yahoo.com/mosessaur#7fe0d 1264 days, 21 hours, 42 minutes ago

One of the things I struggled with in n-Tier apps in EFv1 was the options for reconstructing entity state on the server side in order to call SaveChanges when modified data was passed in from the client. The options were to hit the database to get a set of current server values and then apply updates to those or to just attach the incoming data and iterate through each property marking it as modified so that SaveChanges would be able to construct an Update.

Storing Files and Images in Access with ASP.NET

published 1262 days, 14 hours, 56 minutes ago posted by

Mikesdotnetting 1264 days, 11 hours, 28 minutes ago

Storing Files and Images in Access with ASP.NET Should you store files and images in the database or the filesystem in an ASP.NET application? With SQL Server this is a dilemma, with both approaches having their pros and cons. When it comes to Access, the decision is much easier to make. Because an Access database is restricted to 2Gb, it makes more sense to store files in the file system. However, sometimes, you may not have the choice. If you have to use the database, here's how. ... (more)

SQLite Nunit & Fluent NHibernate - Test your data access layer – Round 2

published 1264 days, 10 hours, 55 minutes ago posted by

http://daniewat82.myopenid.com/ 1265 days, 8 hours, 31 minutes ago

Posted by @dotnetguyuk - Last month I wrote a post explaining how to test your data access layer by using Fluent NHibernate to generate an in-memory SQLite database from an applications domain model and fluent mappings. You can then run unit tests against the SQLite database rather than mocking objects. Over the last couple of weeks I have become less fond of Fluent NHibernate (long story! Curse & Swear!) and wanted to recreate the same functionality using NHibernates standard mappings and features.... (more)

When beginning the project that became BugCamSmash, I knew I was going to try and interact with the UI using the new webcam feature in some way. My first step then was to find a good method for hit detection as well as a good target to hit. Now normally, I’m a peaceful being who tries to “free” insects and creatures that find themselves in my oh-so-humanly claimed living space. But sometimes when finding a creature that looks dangerous or as if it might sting or bite, caveman instincts kick in and I cho... (more)

ASP.NET Membership mechanism allows to use the build-in server tables to store and retrieve user data. By default, this mechanism can only be used with SQL Server database to which Microsoft provides suitable MembershipProvider class. Inheriting from this abstract class, developer can use his own table(-es) from any database and use any database engine other than SQL Server, like Oracle, DB2 etc. (more)
