Entity framework and nhibernate too complex? Say hello to FluentData. (fluentdata.codeplex.com)

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 3 months, 8 days ago

Are you tired of fighting with overly complex ORMs such as Entity Framework and NHibernate? Are you tired of poorly generated SQL or having to change your business objects to work with your ORM? Do you miss the power and performance of ADO.NET and SQL, but not the manual tedious work? If so FluentData might be the framework for you. FluentData is a Micro ORM that makes it simple to select, insert, update and delete data in a database. It gives the developer the power of ADO.NET but with the convenience of an ORM. It has a simple to use fluent API that uses SQL - the best and most suitable language to query data, and SQL or fluent builders to insert, update and delete data. read more...

Programming for the future of mobile(jclaes.blogspot.com)

submitted by JefClaes(650) 6 months, 19 days ago

I have been working on something small on the side lately. I hardly have anything to show for it though, most of it is still being shaped in my head. Anyhow, a very important part of the front-end is built using jQuery mobile. Although the framework hasn't been released - release candidates are available though -, it's something you should start looking into today. Why? Because the browser is the future of mobile applications. With the Flash and Silverlight bombs that were dropped today, I am even mo... read more...

ABMHO --A SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTER THAT RUNS ONLINE AND OFFLINE(blog.typps.com)

submitted by alessandrokicks(195) 7 months, 25 days ago

The first stable release of Abmho is out. It is by no means the first or only syntax highlighter on the web. There are quite a few out there but the vast majority aren't usable. Abmho can mix languages within the same code snippet, allows you to style your code with live preview and many more features. Perhaps one of the most interesting feature is that it is a silverlight application that runs both on the web and optionally installable as an OOB application. read more...

C# 5 PropertyChanged - No more magic strings!(www.robfe.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 6 days ago

Changes in C# 5 mean no more NotifyPropertyChanged("SomeVariable"), which is a common source of bugs. It also means we no longer have to suffer the performance degradation associated with using workarounds such as lambda's just for the sake of compile-time checking. From here on out, the compiler does the work for us. read more...

For example , i use the below class for the datapublic class Movie { public string MovieName { get; set; } public string Actor { get; set; } } read more...

C# compiler uses Duck-Typing, not IEnumerable, for foreach loops(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 19 days ago

Turns out that according to this post, and the C# 1.0 specification, that foreach loops in C# do not use IEnumerable (as found in the documentation) but rather duck-typing. Not necessarily consequential to our every day programming lives, but interesting nonetheless. read more...

submitted by dwhittaker(13.1k) 8 months, 19 days ago

Taking a look at how to use and harness the power of Value Converters. A Value Converter (IValueConverter) allows for you to perform custom logic during Bind time in XAML based applications. With a value converter you can implement pretty much any type of complex logic you want (bool to visibility, changing styles, etc) at runtime and have this logic extracted away in a stand alone class. read more...
