5 Ways That Postsharp Can SOLIDify Your Code: Authorization(www.sharpcrafters.com)

submitted by mgroves(260) 1 year, 2 months ago

One of the best uses of AOP is to take cross-cutting concerns that repeat themselves over and over in your system, and move them into their own class. Authentication and authorization are important parts of many applications, but too often the code to check if a user is authorized is spread all over the app. A class should have one and only one reason to change, so let's get the "auth" stuff into its own class. read more...

5 Ways That Postsharp Can SOLIDify Your Code: Caching(www.sharpcrafters.com)

submitted by mgroves(260) 1 year, 3 months ago

Sometimes there's just no way to speed up an operation. Maybe it's dependent on a service that's on some external web server, or maybe it's a very processor intensive operation, or maybe it's fast by itself, but a bunch of concurrent requests would suck up all your resources. There are lots of reasons to use caching. PostSharp itself doesn't provide a caching framework for you (again, PostSharp isn't reinventing the wheel, it's just making it easier to use), but it does provide you with a way to (surprise) reduce boilerplate code, stop repeating yourself, and separate concerns into their own classes. read more...

Anonymous Types – Dynamic Programming With C#(somewebguy.wordpress.com)

submitted by mgroves(260) 2 years, 10 months ago

For fun, I took a little time to write another version of AnonymousType. This one is a lot more flexible than the one before, but you aren’t really using C# the way it was intended to be. Instead of using reflection you’re using a Dictionary, specifically with strings (for the property names) and objects (for the values). read more...
