Dynamic Sort With LINQ To SQL(onedotnetway.com)

submitted by deepakkapoor(430) 3 years, 6 months ago

Sometime ago I wrote a post showing how to do dynamic sort with LINQ. That approach worked well with LINQ To Objects. Today I spotted a question on the forums where Levi asked a question about doing dynamic sorts with LINQ To SQL. My earlier approach will work once all the data is retrieved on the client side. This of course is not an ideal way. A better option is to do sorting on database. read more...

Enum Support With LINQ To SQL And SqlMetal (onedotnetway.com)

submitted by deepakkapoor(430) 3 years, 6 months ago

As a programmer I love my enums. I find code written using enums to be more readable than without them. However, there has been and there still is a disconnect between lookup tables in a database and enums in code. One has to restore to some creative trickery to get them working in harmony. Recently while working on a project which involves using LINQ To SQL, I came up with a process which gives me the best of both worlds i.e. using lookup tables in database and enums in code. I am documenting my solution here. Hopefully it will help you. read more...

Writing Visual Studio 2010 Shell In WPF Reflects Confidence(onedotnetway.com)

submitted by deepakkapoor(430) 3 years, 6 months ago

Since its inception as Avalon I have dedicated countless hours to the technology we now know as WPF. I can probably say that I am one of the few people who have worked on WPF at a commercial level at least in Australia. This is because the number of projects using WPF have been scarce. And I was fortunate to get involved because of my community work around WPF. I have also tried to convince clients to go with WPF as the preferred choice over Windows Forms. I will admit that I have not been very successful in doing this. The main reason I believe is that WPF has suffered with lack of confidence. While the push has been there from Microsoft, somehow it has not come across very well. We all know about demos about spinning text boxes and playing videos in buttons. These I must say have not conveyed the benefits of WPF to business gracefully. Even though Microsoft has used WPF for their Expression products, it just has not been enough. read more...

In this tutorial I will show you how to use LINQ to read such data. By the end of tutorial you will appreciate how easy and logical it is to use LINQ for reading data from delimited text files. read more...
