.NET Memory Management(davybrion.com)

submitted by DavyBrion(345) 3 years, 9 months ago

Garbage Collection sure is great, isn’t it? We don’t have to keep track of all the memory we’ve allocated and we don’t need to release that memory when it’s no longer needed. Because that is after all what the Garbage Collector does for us, without us having to worry about it. This is actually a widespread misconception among many .NET developers. It’s true that Garbage Collection makes memory management a lot easier, but we simply can’t rely on it all the time. There are most certainly some things you must always keep in mind when it comes to memory management in .NET. read more...

The Wannabe Developer’s Manifesto(davybrion.com)

submitted by DavyBrion(345) 3 years, 9 months ago

I’m sure most of us have been confronted with a ‘Wannabe Developer’ at least once, probably a lot more even. The Wannabe Developers are such a large group that i think they should have their own manifesto. I dislike Wannabe Developers as much as anyone, but i’m in a generous mood today so i’ve taken the liberty to write that manifesto. I can only hope they find it useful. read more...

Link blogs… do yourself a favor(davybrion.com)

submitted by alashcraft(1180) 3 years, 9 months ago

I’m currently subscribed to 110 feeds and everyday the number of unread posts is going up. It seems like i just can’t catch up anymore. Of all those unread posts, a lot will be very interesting, but there will also be quite a few that won’t interest me that much. So i’m going to cut back on the number of feeds i’m subscribed to, and i’m going to rely on some fantastic links blogs to point me to the best posts. read more...

My Favorite .NET Link Blogs(nayyeri.net)

submitted by alashcraft(1180) 3 years, 9 months ago

Link blogs are one of the common types of blogs that are actually a list of links to other resources in a specific field. At first glance, it seems easy to collect some links and present them in a blog post and somehow this statement is right but there are some people who don’t take it easy and put a good effort to present great link blogs. read more...

Project anti-pattern: Many projects in a Visual Studio Solution File(lostechies.com)

submitted by terrble(1665) 3 years, 10 months ago

I've been hearing from several colleagues about how their Visual Studio solution files have many (i.e. more than 10, and usually more than 30 -- in one case, more than 100!). So far, none of them have been able to give me any good explanation for why this is and most of them hate it but they can't change it because their architect/lead/whatever won't let them. I'm hoping that by getting the discussion going on this in the greater community, we can try to discourage everyone from having lots of projects in a solution. read more...

NHibernate: Testing The Performance Urban Legend(iamnotmyself.com)

submitted by NotMyself(215) 3 years, 10 months ago

I wanted to challenge the dogmatic urban legend passed down from .NET developer to .NET developer since the classic ASP days. That dogma simply states you should always access your database via stored procedure for "performance reasons". Inline SQL is BAAAAAAD. So I fired up Visual Studio, created a class and started writing tests. read more...

How To Write Testable ASP.NET WebForms(davybrion.com)

submitted by DavyBrion(345) 3 years, 10 months ago

Microsoft’s upcoming ASP.NET MCV framework makes it easy to write tests for your application layer logic. But what about those of us who are stuck with ASP.NET WebForms? You can still write highly testable ASP.NET WebForms with only a little bit of extra effort. But that extra effort really pays off in the long run. In this post, i’ll give a detailed description of one approach that has worked for me really well. read more...
