submitted by arch4ngel(585) 1 year, 3 months ago

Using Ninject with ASP.NET MVC 3 dependency injection(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 1 year, 3 months ago

Ninject is a Inversion of Control (a.k.a IoC) tool that allows you to map Interfaces to Implementations. An IoC main job is to instantiate an object that is linked to a requested type. An IoC tool will also control the lifetime of those objects to allow more flexibility in the invocation of them. read more...

Is your debugger making you stupid?(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 2 years, 10 months ago

What is one of the greatest advance of Visual Studio since the coming of .NET? You might think it is the Garbage Collector or the IL which allows interoperability between languages? I think of one the great advance of Visual Studio 2003 (all the way through Visual Studio 2010) is the debugger. Previously, debugger were hardly as powerful as Visual Studio. And that is the problem. read more...

“If you build it, they will come” – Or how to start a community(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 2 years, 11 months ago

I’ve always found that the best practices inside my field were not always respected. Doctors always wash their hands, architect follow all the rules to have a building that is safe for the people living/working inside it. However, with software, anyone can improvise himself “Software Architect” or “Software Developer” without having any problem to find a job. Most people in the .NET community will follow what is given to them by Microsoft. Be it SharePoint, Entity Framework, Linq To SQL, Visual Studio, or whatever. Sometimes, alternative is good because they offer you a different view on the state of things. read more...

PostSharp – The best way to do AOP in .NET(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 2 years, 11 months ago

Who knows about Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP)? Common! Don’t be shy! Ok, now lower your hands. My prediction is that a lot of you didn’t raise their hands. So let’s resume what AOP is: Aspect-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that increases modularity by enabling improved separation of concerns. This entails breaking down a program into distinct parts (so called concerns, cohesive areas of functionality). […] read more...

Redefining ALT.NET or rather, rediscovering it’s meaning(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 3 years ago

I’ve heard about ALT.NET about a year ago. At first, I thought that it was about using alternatives to Microsoft or to avoid Microsoft software. ALT.NET was supposed to be about going “alternative” and being against “The Man” and being for “The People”. Well, I must agree that I wasn’t totally right with that. I mean, Microsoft make some mess but it also does a lot of great tools and particularly a great IDE with lots of extensibility point. Then, I did what I should have done in the beginning. I looked up the definition. read more...

Participating in the community and improving yourself(blog.decayingcode.com)

This post is sadly not going to be about code so much that it’s going to be about the profession. Some professions have it easy. You can cut hairs without having to learn something new every 2-3 months. You can build houses without having to learn new methods every year. Of course, all professions are evolving and new ways to do the same task more effectively are created. read more...

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 3 years ago

I have an iPhone and I got a lot of songs on it. I don’t particularly love to sing but I got a few bands that have tendencies to say their lyrics in a… obscure way. Since I’m really curious, I’m always on Google searching for the lyrics. I wanted to save some time and avoid unnecessary browsing. The iPhone have the capacity of displaying lyrics if they are included inside the mp3 metadata. Updating the lyrics is something but where will I retrieved thousands song lyric? read more...

EntLib 4.0 – ExceptionPolicy.HandleException is not thread safe(blog.decayingcode.com)

submitted by arch4ngel(585) 3 years ago

We've faced this problem recently where Enterprise Library was crashing. Not everywhere... just on this little line of code. We were trying to save to a database asynchronously but if the database was not available, it threw an exception which Enterprise Library was supposed to catch. However, this never happened. Enterprise library crashed on us. Mind you, we didn't figure out this problem until recently because the problem was just happening in production. read more...

Microsoft is mainly known for 2 things. Windows and Office. However, for programmers, Microsoft is also know for many more projects/product like .NET, Enterprise Library, ASP.NET MVC, Team Foundation Server, SharePoint, etc. Among the few tools that are not really known and publicised at the moment are the projects inside Microsoft Research. This is the land of Beta or “software-never-to-be-released”. read more...
