Absent Value (codingroute.blogspot.com)

submitted by ksh2dotnetkicks(135) 2 years, 3 months ago

The most common way for representing an absent value is 'null' (Null, Nil, Nothing, (), ...). But in some languages the absent value have an actual representation. That helps avoiding many problems that has their root in 'null'. Unfortunately those tools can not be easily mocked in C# because C# lacks ADT (Algebraic Data Types). There are many other entries on the web on the matter if more details are needed; yet, in simple it's about controlling absence of a value (more) explicitly in type-system itself. read more...

Paranoidal Singleton (codingroute.blogspot.com)

submitted by ksh2dotnetkicks(135) 2 years, 3 months ago

1 - If one object must have at most one instance in an application, then no one must be able to capture a pointer to it in any other scope. In other word's it should have at most one pointer to it in whole application, too. Otherwise it's lifetime and service access can not be controlled. So there must be a proxy to that object and at any time, just one of these proxies has access to the actual instance. 2 - In Singleton pattern, if the single instance object have any kind of changing states then it will become a source of disaster (as any other global state in the application). So it is not just enough to provide a thread-safe pointer access. Instead we need a working scope for our singleton object. Using proxy pattern we can achieve this goal: at anytime there is just one pointer to singleton and there is just one user for it. read more...

Straighce; a straight tracing tool (a thread-safe, non-blocking, file-(code.google.com)

submitted by ksh2dotnetkicks(135) 2 years, 3 months ago

I needed this; so I have wrote it; and now share it. This is a low-featured, cyclic (log files reside in appname\1.txt to at mose 31.txt), thread-safe and non-blocking TraceListener with some extension methods for System.String to ease tracing which are in fact some wrapper around Trace.Write(...) and Trace.Write(...) functionality (So you can change your TraceListener later!). read more...

The Dummy Provider: Testing membership and roles(jeffgaroutte.com)

submitted by kayos(890) 3 years, 6 months ago

Asp.net has a wonderful system built in for handling user accounts and roles. The administration interface is encapsulated in a separate web site that can be accessed from within Visual Studio but it is difficult to integrate into the site. This often leads to building a new user administration area in each site. The problem I have with this is going into the data store and deleting the incomplete test data and not having "known good" data for testing. read more...
