LINQ Farm: One to Many and Joins(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by CharlieCalvert(7875) 5 years, 2 months ago

This post is the latest in a series of posts on LINQ. It continues the exploration of LINQ to SQL by showing several intermediate level queries. LINQ to SQL provides developers with access to relational databases from inside a CSharp program. I'm going to show three different queries in this post. The first will demonstrate how to create a simple one-to-many, the second how to create a one-to-many that spans three tables, and the third will show how to create a simple join. read more...

Standard ECMA-335(ecma-international.org)

submitted by jasper22(1320) 5 years, 3 months ago

Standard ECMA-335 Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) 4th edition (June 2006) This International Standard defines the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) in which applications written in multiple high-level languages can be executed in different system environments without the need to rewrite those applications to take into consideration the unique characteristics of those environments. This International Standard consists of the following parts: * Partition I: Concepts and Architecture – Describes the overall architecture of the CLI, and provides the normative description of the Common Type System (CTS), the Virtual Execution System (VES), and the Common Language Specification (CLS). It also provides an informative description of the metadata. * Partition II: Metadata Definition and Semantics – Provides the normative description of the metadata: its physical layout (as a file format), its logical contents (as a set of tables and their relationships), and its semantics (as seen from a hypothetical assembler, ilasm). * Partition III: CIL Instruction Set – Describes the Common Intermediate Language (CIL) instruction set. * Partition IV: Profiles and Libraries – Provides an overview of the CLI Libraries, and a specification of their factoring into Profiles and Libraries. A companion file, CLILibrary.xml, considered to be part of this Partition, but distributed in XML format, provides details of each class, value type, and interface in the CLI Libraries. * Partition V: Debug Interchange Format. * Partition VI: Annexes – Contains some sample programs written in CIL Assembly Language (ILAsm), information about a particular implementation of an assembler, a machine-readable description of the CIL instruction set which can be used to derive parts of the grammar used by this assembler as well as other tools that manipulate CIL, a set of guidelines used in the design of the libraries of Partition IV , and portability considerations. read more...

Refactoring, Improving the Design of Existing Code(en.csharp-online.net)

submitted by Hyle(2755) 5 years, 3 months ago

Read a review of this modern classic book by Martin Fowler of UML Distilled fame. Excerpt: Refactoring is a risky procedure that dates back to the advent of the SmallTalk programming language. But, it has since spread to all modern languages; and, it is considered critical in framework and class library development—because a framework is never right on the first iteration. Whether refactoring as a discipline is a workable practice is controversial. Adherents lobby for more disciplined restructuring and testing while doubters claim real life refactoring is impractical and tricky. read more...

An Article- Many-to-Many Relationships in O/R Mapping(alachisoft.com)

submitted by paul_hedgeson(30) 5 years, 3 months ago

If you are developing an object oriented .NET application that has to talk to a database, you'll inevitably map objects to a relational model. And, most likely you'll face situations where many-to-many relationships exist in your database. This article describes how you can handle many-to-many relationships in O/R mapping. Most .NET applications are object oriented and at the same time they have to deal with relational databases. This creates a difficulty for the developers because they have to figure out how to map their objects to the tables in the database. Sometime, there is a one to one mapping between an object and a table and at other times, one object may consist of data from multiple tables or subset of data from one table. The most important thing one can achieve in O/R Mapping is to capture the logical data model design in the object model of the application. This makes it really easy to design, develop, and later maintain this object model. We'll try to follow this rule when mapping many-to-many relationships to objects.
