If you’ve read this series up to this point, you pretty much have everything you need to implement dynamic queries in your own application. Just a few notes to wrap up the series and I will get on to other topics.Creating a Search Service Facade Depending on your requirements, it may be perfectly reasonable to create a tight coupling b...

Silverlight client-side database

siaqodb_user 1267 days, 23 hours, 12 minutes ago

Many times on Silverlight you need to store data on client machine. Some examples would be: undo/redo functionality for your application, games user data, demos/presentations to clients of your application, store data locally while user navigate on your application and only at the end you want to commit changes on server side storage and examples can continue. Also if you use Silverlight Out-Of-Browser application you almost need mandatory a client – side ... (more)

LINQ to CSV using DynamicObject

published 1265 days, 11 hours, 49 minutes ago posted by

KodefuGuru 1267 days, 19 hours, 2 minutes ago

When we wrote LINQ in Action we included a sample of how to simply query against a CSV file using the following LINQ query: From line In File.ReadAllLines(“books.csv”) Where Not Line.StartsWith(“#”) Let parts = line.Split(“,”c) Select Isbn = parts(0), Title = parts(1), Publisher = parts(3) While this code does make dealing with CSV easier, it would be nicer if we could refer to our columns as if they were properties where the property name came from the header row in the CSV file, perhaps using...

This is the last installment in the series about A* search. The C# source code implemented is available in the final part of this post. As promised in the last words of A* pathfinding search in C# - Part 2 today we’re gonna run a test case using the Romania map. This post shows a test case in which the application outputs the shortest path from Arad to Bucharest. I used the ViewOtherPaths method to show the different possible routes.

Atanas Hristov: Design Patterns – Abstract Factory Pattern - blog about programming.

published 1266 days, 12 hours, 21 minutes ago posted by

http://atanashristov.blogspot.com/ 1267 days, 13 hours, 30 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)

published 1265 days, 11 hours, 49 minutes ago posted by

http://atanashristov.blogspot.com/ 1267 days, 13 hours, 23 minutes ago

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)

http://atanashristov.blogspot.com/ 1267 days, 13 hours, 18 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.

Quick Introduction to Dependency Injection

Cygon 1267 days, 11 hours, 39 minutes ago

An easy to understand introduction to dependency injection in .NET using the Ninject inversion of control container. The dependency injection principle is a design concept by which classes and entire software components can be designed to be isolatable, reducing tight coupling, promoting reusability and allowing for unit tests to mock the dependencies of a class or component.

Including related entities in your domain service calls

There are two steps you need to perform in order to get back related entities in your object graph when making calls to your domain service using the Entity Framework or Linq to Sql as your DAL. Let's say we want to retrieve a Person record along with their Address record. The first step is to tell your DAL to return the associated object in your query like this: Entity Frameworkpublic Person GetPersonById(long Id) { returnthis.Context.People.Include("Address").Where(p => p.Id == Id).FirstOrDefau...

My recent article, Run IE6, IE7, and IE8 on the Same Machine Using Windows 7 XP Mode, provided instructions for installing Virtual PC and XP Mode on a Windows 7 PC. Unfortunately, it only worked on the Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise versions of Windows 7. Windows 7 Home Basic and Premium users are unable to use XP Mode. This is unfortunate since the vast majority of new PCs have those editions installed. However, there is a workaround that allows Windows 7 Home developers to use XP Mode integratio... (more)
