Multicast delegates are useful in their own right but they also form the basis on which the C# event system is built. We take a close look at how they work and how to use them. For example, did you know you could add and subtract delegates? (more)

So we've all coded a Singleton at one time or another. It's a really simple pattern and can be a slightly more elegant alternative to global variables. Make no mistake, Singletons can be abused and are often over-used -- but occasionally you find a Singleton is the most elegant solution. (more)

This was introduced in C# 3.0. Anonymous types are on the fly classes or unnamed classes. For example i define a class with the following :class Employee { private int _EmpID; private string _EmpName; public int EmpID { get { return _EmpID; } set { _EmpID = value; } } ... (more)

Static constructor in C#

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 12:43:13 PM GMT Tuesday, May 25, 2010 6:56:25 AM GMT
When you work with static class variables, the static constructor allows you to create much cleaner code. It gives you the ability to execute code before one of the static methods of the class are executed. You are able to initialize the static variables of your class with no lock of if statement. (more)

Code Contracts: How they look after compiling?

When you are using new tools that make also something at code level then it is good idea to check out what additions are made to code during compilation. Code contracts have simple syntax when we are writing code at Visual Studio but what happens after compilation? Are our methods same as they look in code or are they different after compilation? In this posting I will show you how code contracts look after compiling. (more)

Object Notifiers are very useful for any language. We declare classes which might be used by other processes. Now whenever any changes of the object needs to notify the external world, Microsoft introduced a new Technique in doing so. In this article I have discussed how you can implement your own class which would notify the external world whenever certain modification of the object is made. Observer Patter deals with the technique where the objects modified into the collection should notify the ext... (more)

Writing state of art unit tests that can validate your every part of the framework is challenging and interesting at the same time, its like becoming a samurai. One of the key concept in this is to keep our test synced all the time as underlying code changes and thus breaking them to the furthest unit as possible.  This also means, we should avoid  multiple conditions embedded in a ...

A standard problem with object-oriented languages is that of persisting object state. Binary serialization allows single objects or complex models to be converted to binary streams, which may be stored in files or transported to other systems. (more)

How to escape {} in XAML

published 1092 days, 5 hours, 7 minutes ago posted by abhi2434abhi2434 1092 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes ago
Monday, May 24, 2010 12:40:04 PM GMT Sunday, May 23, 2010 6:33:25 PM GMT
Escape sequences are very important part for any programming language. XAML which is been widely used nowadays in form of Silverlight and WPF, has some literals that are of special meaning. While working with XAML, you often need those special characters to be treated as literals. In case of XAML { --- } is treated as a markup extension. While parsing the XAML, the renderer finds { --- } and try to create an instance of an object just between the Curl braces. The object should be a markup extension.... (more)

ASP.NET MVC - Creating a DropDownList helper for enums Do the types you work with in your ASP.NET MVC models ever have enums? Mine do from time to time and I’ve found myself needing to render a dropdown list to allow the user to select the enum value. For the purposes of this post, I will be working with a Person class and a Color enum (I’ll direct you to some posts by my colleagues to help you decide whether you think Color makes a good enum: here, here and here), but we’ll go with it here :-)public ...

jQuery News Scrollers and Tickers with a ListView

jQuery News Scrollers and Tickers with a ListView   The jQuery Cycle plug-in is most often used for creating image slide shows. However, it's just as easy to use to create a news scroller from a ListView. Here, I look a doing just that. I also look at an alternative jQuery plug-in (NewsTicker) that gives the effect of the classic BBC News Ticker.   jQuery Cycle has been round for quite a while, but the vast majority of demos and samples show it being used to display image slideshows.

IsNull or Coalesce. What’s the Difference? - Dave Ballantyne's Blog

Saturday, May 22, 2010 1:07:01 PM GMT Friday, May 21, 2010 10:33:35 AM GMT
During his 24 Hours of Pass session, Andy Leonard was asked about the difference between a IsNull and a coalesce operation. Ordinarily, and let’s assume we are only talking about 2 parameters here, there isn’t much difference between them. Certainly you could probably run a million row query using the two and there would be a negligible impact. (more)
