C# 4.0: Alternative To Optional Arguments - Paulo Morgado(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by hexy(325) 2 years, 1 month ago

In this tip Paulo brings up a method I use often to avoid a 'buffet' of method overloads. Encapsulation all your 'arguments' in a class and passing that in, instead of all/many arguments that may or may not be optional. It's still relevant in C# 4.0 despite its new optional arguments - though I think this post misses some sample code. read more...

String templates revisited(code-clarity.blogspot.com)

submitted by hkurabko(85) 2 years, 4 months ago

Sometimes I encounter a task - create some little template, that user can easily configure. Yeah, there are many powerful template engines, or you can use {0}, {1} placeholders, or even handwritten #Id#, #Name# placeholders. But this article describes yet another way - simple and descriptive string formatters such as in ASP.NET AJAX 4.0: {Id}, {Name}, {Login}. This placeholders reflects public properties or fields of an object. read more...

LINQ to SQL is NOT dead!(jonkruger.com)

submitted by david_holland(605) 2 years, 11 months ago

Ever since Microsoft announced that the Entity Framework was their ORM of choice, people everywhere have been saying, “LINQ to SQL is dead!” A lot of people feel like they’re not allowed to use LINQ to SQL anymore and that they have to use Entity Framework instead. In fact, LINQ to SQL is not only alive and well, Microsoft has even announced LINQ to SQL improvements in .NET 4.0, including finally adding using ITable<T> for tables instead of Table<T>, which makes it much easier to test. Combine that with this open source tool that will create an IDataContext interface for you and you’re on your way to testable LINQ to SQL. So no, LINQ to SQL is not dead!! read more...

Automatically minify and combine JavaScript in Visual Studio(encosia.com)

submitted by gt1329a(7849) 3 years ago

As you begin developing more complex client-side functionality, managing the size and shape of your JavaScript includes becomes a key concern. It’s all too easy to accidentally end up with hundreds of kilobytes of JavaScript spread across many separate HTTP requests, significantly slowing down your initial page loads. I hope you’ll find that this technique is a good compromise between the tedium of using manual minification tools and the overwrought complexity of setting up some of the more “enterprisey” automation solutions. read more...

A new breed of magic strings in ASP.NET MVC(lostechies.com)

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

One of the common patterns in Ruby on Rails is the use of hashes in place of large parameter lists. Instead of hashes, which don’t exist in C#, ASP.NET MVC uses anonymous types for quite a few HTML generators on the view side. This is a trick used by the MVC team to simulate hashes. Since the dictionary initializer syntax is quite verbose, with lots of angly-bracket cruft, anonymous types provide a similar effect to hashes. However, don’t let the magic fool you. Anonymous types used to create dictionaries are still dictionaries. read more...
