submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 1 year, 1 month ago

Well, it looks like we’ve finally arrived at a place where at least all of the latest versions of main stream browsers support rounded corners and box shadows. The two CSS properties that make this possible are box-shadow and box-radius. Both of these CSS Properties now supported in all the major browsers as shown in this chart from QuirksMode: read more...

Technical Debt Is Like Your Friend, The Mafia Bookie(www.lostechies.com)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 1 year, 7 months ago

You’ve known the guy for years… he’s your friend and you’ve never had any troubles in spite of his job. Then one day, you’re hard up for some money to pay rent or get a car repair done. Fortunately your friend is there to help. In spite of your misgivings about taking money from him, he assures you that it’s just a friendly loan between people that have known each other for years. It has nothing to do with his professional life, he says. In fact, it was such a small amount of money that he may not even ask you to repay it. You can relax knowing that it’s not a big deal and you took care of your needs. read more...

Implementing the Notification Pattern using DataAnnotation Validator(www.bjoernrochel.de)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 2 years, 1 month ago

Some weeks ago a friend of mine told me about System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations. It’s a relatively new addition to the framework, mainly Asp.net related (mh, was it Mvc or Asp.net Dynamic Data? I’m sure he told me, but I can’t remember). Although I’m more focussed on client side development (WinForms + WPF), what he told me made me curious enough to spend some time with it in order to investigate whether the DataAnnotation framework could be reused for validation in a desktop app. read more...

Back to Basics: Generics (codebetter.com)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 3 years, 6 months ago

Introduction There are language features that are nothing more than syntactical sugar. For example, C#'s coalesce operator (??) is a short-handed and specialized if-else. Object initializers make it easier to set properties on a newly created objects. Some features though go beyond mere convenience and add real value. I know it seems like we constantly have to learn new things, while at the same time actually produce code to pay our bills. It can be hard to pick and choose what to learn and what can wait. Let me be straight up though: if you haven't mastered generics yet, you're starting to fall dangerously behind. read more...

100% Reflective Class Diagram Creation Tool(codeproject.com)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 5 years, 1 month ago

This article is about using reflection. For those of you that don't know what reflection is, it is the ability to obtain information about a Type of object without really knowing anything about the object type that is being dealt with. For example one could simply ask the current Type of object if it supports a certain method name, if it does, the method can be called. This may sound strange but it is a very powerful technique. Lets suppose that I simply want to look at what methods a class supports, well that is also easily achieved using reflection. .NET allows developers to leverage reflection in many ways. read more...

ASP.NET Enterprise Manager on Steroids: Ajax, Multiple DB types(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 5 years, 11 months ago

What would the ASP.NET Enterprise Manager look like with Ajax Support? The VisualWebGui guys have a clue. They built a new one from scratch with their cool technology for making web from winforms, and they even made it work with a database provider model, so you can manage many database types with it. On top of that, it's open source. read more...

Everyone collects utilities, and most folks have a list of a few that they feel are indispensable. Here's mine. Each has a distinct purpose, and I probably touch each at least a few times a week. For me, util means utilitarian and it means don't clutter my tray. If it saves me time, and seamlessly integrates with my life, it's the bomb. read more...
