Gherkin style specification testing in .NET(ryanlanciaux.com)

submitted by dengar007(3084) 2 years, 3 months ago

Behavior Driven Development is something that has interested me for quite awhile. I have constantly tried to write my tests as clear and concise as possible but once I saw Cucumber for Ruby that became the new standard for what I was trying to achieve in .NET. This is where SpecFlow comes in. read more...

Enable cross-site XMLHttpRequest with W3C spec CORS(hacks.mozilla.org)

submitted by powerrush(3873) 2 years, 4 months ago

Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4 implement the CORS specification, using XMLHttpRequest as an “API container” that sends and receives the appropriate headers on behalf of the web developer, thus allowing cross-site requests. IE8 implements part of the CORS specification, using XDomainRequest as a similar “API container” for CORS, enabling simple cross-site GET and POST requests. read more...

Does Silverlight 4 really use .Net 4 assemblies?(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadb(879) 2 years, 5 months ago

I have gotten a lot of questions from Silverlight users wanting to know if VistaDB will be able to load in Silverlight 4. This would be a great thing if you could actually have a client side database in a Silverlight app. I still am not 100% convinced this is a good idea in most circumstances, but for offline Silverlight apps this would definitely make sense. It would allow you to store data locally in isolated storage on the users machine, and then send it to the server when they next are online. The typical airplane offline app scenario. read more...

How Dot Net 4 Side by Side will impact API writers(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadb(879) 2 years, 5 months ago

As I mentioned in my previous Dot Net 4 strategy blog entry, we have been thinking about how we want to handle Dot Net 4 from an API and runtime standpoint. Just as a little refresher, remember that when I am talking about a .Net 2 assembly it can actually be any of the .Net 2, 3.0, 3.5 or 3.5 SP1 runtimes. They are a layered cake design in that they all use the same base and build up with additional tiers of functionality. You cannot have a .Net 3.5 app without .Net 2 present, doesn’t exist. It turns out there is an interesting new feature in Dot Net 4 to allow side by side running of managed runtimes within the same application. There is a great CLR Inside Out article online that explains probably way more than I will here, but I wanted to point out a few specific parts of the article and how they impact API writers like VistaDB. read more...

Upgrading Dot Net BlogEngine to VistaDB 4(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadb(879) 2 years, 5 months ago

Our blog uses the excellent Dot Net Blog Engine as our blogging platform. You can use VistaDB as the backend store quite easily. Al Nyveldt’s blog has some great posts about setting up and configuring VistaDB with Blog Engine, but they are all for VistaDB 3.x. The Dot Net Blog Engine knows how to load provider factories, so it is quite easy to update the configuration to talk to VistaDB 4. I did these steps on our blog a while ago and everything has continued to run smoothly. read more...

Visual NHibernate beta(slyce.com)

submitted by powerrush(3873) 2 years, 5 months ago

Visual NHibernate makes it easier and quicker to create and maintain NHibernate projects - even very complex ones. Point it at your existing projects and start modelling them right away - visually. Visual NHibernate makes complex mapping to multiple database tables easy. Simply connect a mapping to a table field and the mapping is complete - all required NHibernate code is generated based on what is mapped. This is the only tool supporting complex mapping to multiple database tables. (Others only allow one-to-one mapping of tables and classes.) This is a true separation of the domain model and the database schema. Using complex mapping allows optimal software architectures to be built on existing legacy databases without having to redesign the database. read more...
