C#/.NET Fundamentals: Choosing the Right Collection Class(geekswithblogs.net)

submitted by BlackRabbitCoder(661) 11 months, 11 days ago

The .NET Base Class Library (BCL) has a wide array of collection classes at your disposal which make it easy to manage collections of objects. While it's great to have so many classes available, it can be daunting to choose the right collection to use for any given situation. As hard as it may be, choosing the right collection can be absolutely key to the performance and maintainability of your application! This post will look at breaking down any confusion between each collection and the situations in which they excel. We will be spending most of our time looking at the System.Collections.Generic namespace, which is the recommended set of collections. read more...

submitted by gilf(2139) 11 months, 27 days ago

Yesterday I helped a colleague with his ASP.NET MVC 3 site deployment. That colleague implemented the data access layer using EF4.1 Code First. One of the restrictions that he had was that he didn’t have database permissions to create a new database and couldn’t use SQL Express or SQL CE in his application.

Sharing validation code between a WPF client, a WCF Service and Entit(blogs.infosupport.com)

submitted by alexb(268) 1 year ago

Recently Entity Framework 4.1 was released. 4.1 contains a DBContext class, which is largely a wrapper around the ObjectContext class with a simplified API. Now you might think as I did: “But if I’m comfortable with the ObjectContext class and I don’t use code first, why in the world would I need a DbContext?”. The answer is pretty simple. The DbContext has a feature which simply isn’t supported by the ObjectContext: data validation with the attributes from the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace. In this article I’ll show you how to decorate your classes with validation attributes and how these classes can be reused by both the client and the server. read more...
