Plan, Execute, and be Flexible(thebook.eliotpearson.com)

submitted by epearson(65) 2 years, 10 months ago

Before you write a single line of code, have a design or plan. Plans come in all shapes and forms. You could have a formal design document, a UML diagram drawn on a cocktail napkin, or an idea you thought about for a few hours. Regardless of the level of polish, you need a plan. read more...

Unit testing WCF services through dependency injection(toomuchcode.com)

submitted by Jemm(9604) 3 years ago

"When building a WCF service in an enterprise application, this service frequently depends on other services or resources. When creating unit tests for this service, we don’t want to host all these other services over WCF endpoints. Instead we will most likely want to inject mock objects. In some case we may even want to inject some in-process instances of these other services." read more...

C#: The Truth About Readonly Fields(epblog.eliotpearson.com)

submitted by epearson(65) 3 years, 2 months ago

I recently seen this surface in some code I've been working on. I had to really think about this one to remember what it was. I knew it was similar to the const keyword but didn't remember the difference. I don't like being stumped so I looked it up. MSDN had the following to say about readonly... read more...

C# - String versus StringBuilder(epblog.eliotpearson.com)

submitted by epearson(65) 3 years, 3 months ago

This is a frequent topic in a lot of interviews I have been a part of recently. A person would have to explain why you should use a StringBuilder instead of a String. If you can't explain the difference, you probably need to beef up your C# knowledge. You are in luck today. I will show you why. read more...

submitted by anubis_ir(320) 4 years, 1 month ago

So, we have (oops, I mean, had) a self-confessed masochistic .Net programmer by the name of Clinton Forbes who hated Microsoft products. Reading through his post you will find a list of sins Microsoft has committed. These sins irked him so much that he labeled all C# and Vb.Net coders as "cynical and old bastards".... read more...
