MVC Strongly-Typed Action Helpers - They're Back!(chriscavanagh.wordpress.com)

submitted by BobStrogg(1033) 3 days, 23 hours ago

Way back in 2009, the MVC Futures assembly introduced “strongly-typed action helpers”. They allowed you to render links using lambda expressions pointing directly to the actions on your controller, rather than using strings. Here's an alternative implementation that aims to resolve some of the performance issues they had. read more...

Expression Trees + Generic Static Constructors(chriscavanagh.wordpress.com)

submitted by BobStrogg(1033) 29 days, 9 hours ago

A great thing about .NET Expression Trees is you can compile them at runtime, and they’ll execute as fast as any .NET code. However, while building and compiling a tree is pretty quick, it’s best if you only need to do it once. Here's a way to do that with a generic class and static constructor. read more...

SQL Server XQuery with LINQ To SQL(chriscavanagh.wordpress.com)

submitted by BobStrogg(1033) 1 year, 2 months ago

LINQ To SQL doesn’t provide a way to include Xquery expressions in queries. The simplest solution is to create SQL user-defined functions that perform the Xquery for you and return scalar results. This works pretty well for small databases, but you lose the benefit of SQL Server’s XML indexes. To get around that, we can modify the SQL command text to expand the function calls into raw Xquery expressions. read more...

Modifying LINQ To SQL command text(chriscavanagh.wordpress.com)

submitted by BobStrogg(1033) 1 year, 2 months ago

Here’s a bit of code that’ll let you modify any command text LINQ To SQL generates before it hits the database. It’s always been possible to call DataContext.GetCommand and use modified SQL in a call to DataContext.Translate or DataContext.ExecuteQuery, but that’s pretty restrictive in the complexity of query you can use. Also, if LINQ To SQL decides it needs to batch multiple SELECT statements for the desired results, GetCommand can only give you the first one. The first thing to do is replace the IProvider implementation used by your DataContext. Unfortunately, DataContext’s Provider property is both private and read-only. Also, the IProvider interface itself is private. This is bad in every way, and we absolutely shouldn’t try to hack our way through that… but we will. read more...

WPF Chromium WebBrowser updates(chriscavanagh.wordpress.com)

submitted by BobStrogg(1033) 1 year, 10 months ago

I’ve updated the WPF Chromium WebBrowser to use the current Awesomium beta version (1.6) and .NET 4.0. It’s still a preview, but you can find the source here on CodePlex. Here are the known issues/problems: 1) Resizing the WebBrowser causes the content to flicker. This appears to be an Awesomium issue, but it needs more investigation (pending support request on Awesomium forum). 2) There is an artifact left behind when scrolling a page; this is a known bug in Awesomium and will be fixed by Awesomium RC1. read more...
