Using Custom Attributes to Enable Quick Searching of Your Domain Entit(milkcarton.com)

submitted by akcoder(830) 5 years, 4 months ago

How do we do it, how do we store it, and how do we ensure that we can compare DateTime from one timezone to DateTime in another timezone. After a lot of research, we settled on using UTC (or UCT depending on your preference). FxCop will take care of ensuring we use UTC (for the most part), or so we thought... read more...

CompositeUserTypes in NHibernate(milkcarton.com)

submitted by akcoder(830) 5 years, 4 months ago

Often times when you’re developing an application, there is a one-to-one mapping between your domain model (object model) and your database schema. Doing it this way often times makes it easier to wrap your head around everything going on in your app. But this isn’t always the right way to do things. read more...

Generic NHibernate Enum String Mapping(orand.blogspot.com)

submitted by akcoder(830) 5 years, 5 months ago

Today one of my coworkers mentioned all the little NHibernate enum mapping turd classes that were accumulating in our data access layer. See this post for more details on how it works and why you would want to do this. I wondered aloud if generics could be used to eliminate this waste of disk space. A few minutes later, this is what we came up with. read more...
