Boxing nullables(blog.andreloker.de)

submitted by aloker(1810) 3 years, 2 months ago

If your code makes decisions based on the type of a boxed value be aware that nullable values are boxed slightly different: they lose their “Nullable-ness” and become either null or the boxed version of the value that they hold. read more...

.NET - Health Monitoring in ASP.NET 3.5(dotnetcurry.com)

submitted by pyccki(357) 3 years, 2 months ago

I am a big advocate on less is more, and when it comes to writing code to monitor an ASP.NET application, less code is definitely more. As a developer, once you have finished developing your application and it’s deployed into production, you’ll need to monitor it and have it notify you when something goes wrong. There are several ways to do this, from utilising the global.asax file to writing custom classes. But a little known feature in ASP.NET is health monitoring. This gives you the ability to monitor the health of an ASP.NET application. This article won’t delve into the specifics of creating your own custom health monitoring class, but it will focus on what is available to ASP.NET developers out of the box. read more...

First attempts with Gallio(blog.andreloker.de)

submitted by aloker(1810) 3 years, 3 months ago

From time to time I like to check my development workflow and tools to see whether I’m still up to date. This time I thought it might be a nice idea to give Gallio a shot. If you don’t now Gallio: it is a platform to uniformly run unit tests from whatever unit test framework (MbUnit, NUnit, MSTest etc.) you use. It also integrates into a bunch of other tools which I use (CruiseControl.NET, NAnt, NCover, ReSharper et al). So basically it sounds like a cool idea. Here's my list of thoughts after using Gallio for 60 minutes. read more...
