Free Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in(mindscape.co.nz)

submitted by AndrewPeters(1170) 3 years, 9 months ago

The Visual Studio File Explorer Add-in (sexy name we know, but hey, it’s self documenting) is a free Tool Window add-in for VS 2008 that provides a Windows Explorer style file system view. It’s particularly useful for performing routine file system tasks without the need to “context switch” away from Visual Studio, which can be time-consuming over the course of days and weeks. It is shell-enabled so extensions like TortoiseSVN work too. read more...

Introducing LINQ to LightSpeed(mindscape.co.nz)

submitted by turtlespin(634) 3 years, 11 months ago

LightSpeed 2 incorporates LINQ (Language Integrated Query) support. LINQ to LightSpeed means that if you know LINQ, you can get these benefits without having to learn a new API. You can continue to write LINQ queries as if against LINQ to SQL or another LINQ provider, but you’ll get database independence (effectively LightSpeed gives you LINQ to Oracle, LINQ to MySQL, LINQ to PostgreSQL and LINQ to SQLite as well as LINQ to SQL Server, all in the one box), advanced eager loading functionality (avoiding the so-called “n+1” problem which affects some LINQ implementations) and of course the blazingly fast LightSpeed query engine. read more...

Introducing NHaml - An ASP.NET MVC View Engine(andrewpeters.net)

submitted by AndrewPeters(1170) 4 years, 5 months ago

NHaml (pronounced enamel) is a pure .NET implementation of the popular Rails Haml view engine. From the Haml website: “Haml is a markup language that‘s used to cleanly and simply describe the XHTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding XHTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the XHTML, with some code to generate dynamic content.” In other words, NHaml is an external DSL for XHTML. It’s primary qualities are it’s simplicity, terseness, performance and that it outputs nicely formatted XHTML. Additionally, the NHaml view engine provides support for Rails style layouts and partials. read more...
