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.

Binding Operators for C# 5

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

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)

If you are using RIA Services with Silverlight and facing the problem that Web part or the server part of the project is not getting recognized on the client side or the Silverlight side, then one probable and main cause is that you are using Resharper and if that’s the case then the below solution will help you tackle this problem. Before applying this solution do check that RIA Services is installed on your machine because if its not installed then the cause of this problem would be RIA Services itsel... (more)

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

Friday, December 04, 2009 9:39:23 AM GMT Wednesday, December 02, 2009 8:05:13 AM GMT
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)

While I was at PDC last week in Los Angeles I got to present an ASP.NET MVC 2 presentation. Phil has been home playing with his new baby so I was thrilled to be able to give a presentation on his behalf. I gave the talk immediately after the Day 2 keynote a few minutes after they announced that they were giving all attendees custom laptops. This talk was a (virtually) no slides, just demos talk.

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. This way we can have a look at why the A* algorithm has chosen such sho... (more)

A* pathfinding search in C# - Part 2

posted by lenielleniel 1268 days, 6 hours, 50 minutes ago
Wednesday, December 02, 2009 4:03:48 AM GMT
This post describes step by step the methods used to implement the A* search algorithm. To illustrate the path finding problem and how it can be solved using A* I decided to use the Romania map (with the same Cities I used in Breadth and depth first search series of posts). Now I modified it adding more connections between the cities so that we have more fun while debugging the code. This time I decided to get the real values of latitude and longitude for the cities shown in the Romania map. See how a gr... (more)

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

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)

Silverlight : Listening to Dependency Property Change notification of a given Element

I was digging a bit around Silverlight Dependency properties, mainly to see how to receive change notification when ever a dependency property is changed. In WPF, this is straight forward, you may use the DependencyPropertyDescriptor, and call AddValueChanged. Like this. DependencyPropertyDescriptor desc = DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty (UIElement.VisibilityProperty, typeof(UIElement)); desc.AddValueChanged (this.myLabel, new EventHandler(VisibilityChanged));   Now, how to do this ...

Random Acts of Coding: Managing Composition Through Lazy Loading Parts

So far in this post series, we've been looking at various aspects of working with MEF in the context of a single level of composition.  One interesting thing about MEF is that its composition is recursive based on the assemblies and types identified in the catalogs within the container.  What this means is that if one of our parts also has imports defined for parts of its own, the composition container will continue loading parts for the initial type as well as all parts loaded until no more parts are fo...

On Windows Azure CTP some file system operations are not allowed. You cannot create and modify files located on server hard disc. I have small application that stores data to DataSet and I needed place where I can hold this file. The logical choice is cloud storage service of course. In this posting I will show you how to read and write DataSet to your cloud storage as XML-file. (more)

NovoGeek.com - Krishna's weblog | Client side localization in ASP.NET using jQuery

Localization is a very important feature required in medium-large scale business applications. As always, ASP.NET makes developers life easy by providing inbuilt localization mechanism. However, if you are building a rich client side app using JavaScript/jQuery, you may need to fetch error messages and other strings from locale specific external file, without post back. This article gives pointers to implement client side localization in ASP.NET using jQuery. (more)
