The Code Junkie: So you write unit tests, but do you really TDD?

Many developers are claiming to be TDD practitioners, without really understanding the differences between Test-Driven Development and unit testing. Somewhere along the line the definition of TDD has gotten lost and it is time to set the record straight; just because you write unit tests does not mean you practice TDD. (more)

Common Service Factory

posted by

http://selfinflicted.myopenid.com/ 239 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes ago

The Common Service Factory library contains Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service factory implementations built on top of the Common Service Locator library. Using the library allows for the Dependency Inversion Principle to be applied to WCF services while using the IoC container of your choice, as long as there is a Common Service Locator adapter available. The library contains factory implementations for both SOAP and RESTful services. (more)

The Code Junkie's blog » Integrating WCF with your favorite IoC

A while back I was working on a project where I had to implement a Windows Communication Service for authenticating users. Internally the service was going to use a user repository to validate the provided credentials. I wanted to design the service in such a way that it didn't take a hard dependency on a specific user repository implementation, instead I wanted to make use of the Dependency Inversion Principle to decouple the service's dependency on the user repository.

The Code Junkie: An introduction to MEF programming models

Back in late November 2008, when MEF Preview 3 shipped, I started looking into what the Managed Extensibility Framework was and what it had to offer. After having spent a couple of weeks exploring the shipped features of the framework, I soon started looking for ways that I could extend it with custom functionality. One of the ideas I had was to write a custom catalog and instead of extracting part information from the types in an assembly, I wanted to use the configuration file to define parts. This wo...

Using a custom container to add default value support to MEF

Using a custom container to add default value support to MEF

The Managed Extensibility Framework does a great job of making it easy to write applications which are composed of discovered parts. One aspect of composing your application is that you can never quite know (unless its a private application where you have full control) which parts that will be available to the application, or even if there will be any parts at all. The latter is very important, you need to understand this so that you can build you application so that it doesn’t fail if an import cannot b... (more)

Creating a FakeExportProvider to help with testing MEF code

Creating a FakeExportProvider to help with testing MEF code

If you don’t know what the purpose of an export provider in MEF is, then I recommend you to read "Using ExportProvider to customize container behavior Part I" by Glenn Block for an in-depth description. The short version is that the export providers it so serve exports to the composition container. In this post I am going to show how to create an export provider which serves instances of objects by allowing you to directly register them for a specific contract. The export provider can then be passed to t... (more)

MEF Contrib 0.4.0.0 has been released

posted by

http://selfinflicted.myopenid.com/ 376 days, 9 hours, 55 minutes ago

The first proper release of the MEF Contrib project, a community-developed library of extensions to the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) has been released. The major highlight in this release is the custom programming model, known as the Provider Model. The custom model offers a plethora of new functionality to MEF, just as the ability to define imports and exports using a configuration file, a fluent interface and a custom attributed model. There are also things like object factory support, in ca... (more)

Adding context awareness to a fluent interface with the decorator pattern

Adding context awareness to a fluent interface with the decorator pattern

I recently developed and released the first version of my custom programming model for the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). One of the things I included in the extension was a Fluent Definition Provider, a fluent interface used describe composable parts in a way that the programming model can consume them. A composable part used, in my extension, is defined with the help of a type name and collections of exports and imports. (more)
