DotNetShoutout and DotNetKicks extensions for BlogEngine.NET(bengtbe.com)

submitted by bengtbe(470) 2 years, 10 months ago

At the end of every .NET post I include counter buttons to DotNetKicks and DotNetShoutout. At first I manually created these buttons by copying some code from these sites after the post was submitted to them, however this quickly became tiresome. Now I just write kickit and shout at the end of the post to get these buttons. read more...

Mapping a Twitter like domain with Fluent NHibernate(bengtbe.com)

submitted by bengtbe(470) 3 years ago

I'm currently learning NHibernate, and one of the best ways to learn is to blog about it :) Since I'm not a big fan of XML files, I also wanted to use Fluent NHibernate to do the mapping. As an example I will use a social messaging domain, similar to Twitter. I will also use a Top-down approach, starting with the domain model, writing the mapping, and finally creating the database schema using the SchemaExport class in NHibernate. read more...

Eliminating ToList().ForEach() by TDD and Extensions Methods(bengtbe.com)

submitted by bengtbe(470) 3 years, 2 months ago

Following "Program to an interface, not an implementation", you should use IList instead of List. However, you then lose access to some great delegate methods of the List class (e.g. ForEach, ConvertAll). In order to use them you have to first call ToList(). In this post I will use Test Driven Development (TDD) to add these as extension methods to the generic IEnumerable interface, elimintating the need to call ToList(). read more...

Using StructureMap with the ASP.NET MVC framework(bengtbe.com)

submitted by bengtbe(470) 3 years, 2 months ago

This is my first blog post ever :) In it I will try to show you how to use StructureMap with the new ASP.NET MVC framework. You will need to have some basic knowledge about the ASP.NET MVC framework and Dependency Injection (DI)/Inversion of Control (IoC). The method described is not limited to StructureMap; if you prefer, you can of course use another DI/IoC tool. I hope someone on this site finds it useful. read more...
