James Kovacs debuts a Rake inspired build tool based on powershell. The sweetspot here is that it could bring the functionality already in powershell into the build process. Still at almost a POC stage, but worth looking at. read more...

More testing code than production code is typical, but fine(codebetter.com)

submitted by Haacked(5105) 5 years, 2 months ago

Jeremy Miller of CodeBetter blogs writes that you may end up with more unit test code than production code, but that's fine. Remember, production code is way harder to write than test code. Test methods are each isolated units that don't have dependencies on each other, like production methods do. read more...

DotNetKicks to be Open Sourced(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by gavinjoyce(25.7k) 5 years, 2 months ago

As the community on DotNetKicks.com has grown in size over the past year, I have received received many offers of help with adding features and many requests for the source code. Due to other top secret commitments, I have recently not had as much time as I would have liked to continue the development of DotNetKicks.com. A discussion on DotNetKicks last week re-highlighted the issue of feature stagnation (the community is continuing to grow just fine). We are in the business of solving problems, and the best solution here is to open source the project. I had planned to release some code this past weekend, but some of the current dependencies include code that I don't wish to release. I am currently refactoring the dependencies, and I will be able to release some code very soon. Please shout it from the roof tops, we need all the contributers we can get. read more...

WaitHandles for the confused(philiprieck.com)

submitted by jasper22(1320) 5 years, 6 months ago

Confused about WaitHandles? Sure you are. For one, they have the word "Event" on them.. Are they events? Do they call delegates?. For another, what's this "Reset" action, and why would I want to do it manually? And lastly, what does the documentation mean when it says "Signaled" and "Nonsignaled"? In project [codename] you see a good number of calls to WaitHandle-derived objects , both AutoReset and ManualReset. As the interaction can be somewhat complex, it can be difficult to decipher what is going on. Hopefully this simplified example will help clear things up. read more...
