Ora - Alternative to #region(coolthingoftheday.blogspot.com)

submitted by johnsheehan(4785) 3 years, 4 months ago

An interesting Visual Studio add-in for those who looking beyond regions for access/grouping. It’s kind of like the Class Diagram but on steroids * 10. And one of cooler things is that sample code is provided so you can add your own grouping. So you’re not tied to how the author decided to group the methods. Oh yeah, it works for VB projects too. read more...

Code review - The meaningless ritual(littletutorials.com)

submitted by contour(490) 3 years, 9 months ago

Most of the time code reviews are a meaningless ritual. Everybody pays lip service to the importance of code reviews and a lot of people, especially in the management, are convinced that code reviews very effectively reduce the number of shipped bugs. The problem is… most developers hate code reviews and avoid them like the plague. If they can’t avoid them, then they show up and act their part like in a play at the theater of the absurd. read more...

How to run a software development company (INTO THE GROUND)(trycatchfail.com)

submitted by Matt_TCF(946) 3 years, 9 months ago

The series will cover the things you *shouldn't* do if you hold some sort of managerial stake in a software project. Sadly these tales will be from my own personal experience working for companies that have drifted into disarray. These examples will be embellished somewhat to drive the points home, but by and large, everything you will read in these posts will be true. read more...

What a C# Coder Should Know Before They Write VB (msmvps.com)

submitted by Jemm(9604) 3 years, 10 months ago

"I just had an e-mail exchange with someone looking for a VB lead in Colorado Springs. I think they are going to have trouble filling it with an existing VB expert, and it occurred to me that someone who had led a successful VB 6 -> C# project could fit the bill, if they knew some key things about VB. I told the recruiter I thought the right person with a C# background and the right (respectful) attitude could be a good fit with two weeks work." read more...

Is Managed Code Slower Than Unmanaged Code?(grimes.demon.co.uk)

submitted by terrble(1665) 3 years, 10 months ago

Ask anyone the question above and they will say that managed is slower than unmanaged code. Are they right? No they are not. The problem is that when most people think of .NET they think of other frameworks with a runtime, like Java or Visual Basic; or they may even think about interpreters. They do not think about applications, or what they do; they do not think about limiting factors like network or disk access; in short, they do not think. read more...

Update to: Microsoft cracking down on community extensions(lovethedot.blogspot.com)

submitted by Ragoczy(655) 3 years, 10 months ago

The original story (http://www.dotnetkicks.com/csharp/Microsoft_cracking_down_on_community_extensions) got quite a bit of traffic from here. There've been some clarifications and updates from Microsoft and the StyleCop team that, I think, make their position clear and reasonable -- also, the original how-to that had been taken down "at Microsoft's request" is back up. A lot of people kicked the original story, so I hope you'll all take the opportunity to read Microsoft's responses and give them fair consideration. read more...
