Don't Be a Validation Nazi(haacked.com)

submitted by gavinjoycegavinjoyce(25.7k) 4 years, 9 months ago

"Postel wrote that in an RFC that defined TCP, but it applies much more broadly. It’s natural that developers, used to the exacting nature of writing code for a compiler, where even the most minor of typos can bring a program screeching to a halt, have a tendency to apply such exactitude on their users." read more...

LINQ To Sql - Getting a Command Object from a Query(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahlrstrahl(7226) 4 years, 9 months ago

Entities are objects and databinding requires Reflection which is very slow, compared to a DataReader. Luckily LINQ to SQL provides the abillity to retrieve a Sql Command object that can be used to return an alternate result set. read more...

Where are all the cool startups that run on ASP.NET?(sashasydoruk.com)

submitted by gavinjoycegavinjoyce(25.7k) 4 years, 9 months ago

"Sure there are Community Server, MySpace, DotNetKicks and DasBlog; there are all very fine products, but compare them to LAMP, Rails and Java lineup: Digg, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Flickr, Backpack and the Company, Delicious, all the Google Apps, Mint, Meebo, Twitter, Zillow and of course Infinite Cat Project. If you checkout the new startups on TechCrunch, it seems like every new startup is something Linux based and is not ASP.NET." read more...

Creating a scrollable and grouped Repeater Layout(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahlrstrahl(7226) 4 years, 9 months ago

A couple of people asked me today about a layout I put together for an application. The layout is bascially a scrollable and grouped repeater that looks a little like a ListView control in WinForms.
