Large or asynchronous file uploads in ASP.NET MVC(dimebrain.com)

submitted by johnsheehan(4785) 2 years, 4 months ago

The challenge of uploading large files in ASP.NET through HTTP is not a new challenge.

When you have either or both of these requirements, or if you simply need direct control of a stream of file data uploaded from a browser, you invariably hit the wall. I set about solving the problem in an ASP.NET MVC-specific way. read more...

Design Patterns – Using the Builder Pattern in C#(dotnetcube.com)

submitted by dncdude(1350) 2 years, 8 months ago

The Builder Pattern falls under the category of the Creational Patterns as it controls the instantiation of a class. This pattern is suitable in scenarios in which an object is made up several parts and the constituent parts need to be created in the same order using an algorithm. A real world example is in making a pizza. A pizza is made up of several parts (the crust, cheese and the toppings) that are constructed using an algorithm (bake the crust, add cheese and add the toppings). read more...

Writing Great Unit Tests: Best and Worst Practises(blog.codeville.net)

submitted by desmond(2014) 2 years, 9 months ago

However, a suite of *bad* unit tests is immensely painful: it doesn’t prove anything clearly, and can severely inhibit your ability to refactor or alter your code in any way. How can you be sure to write unit tests that contribute positively to your project and don't end up being a liability? read more...
