Unit Testing Coming to a Workflow Near You(michaelckennedy.net)

submitted by mkennedy66996693(480) 3 years, 7 months ago

If you've been working with Windows Workflow, you'll find it has some cool features for orchestration, long running operations, state machines, etc. However you won't find very much support for Test Driven Development (TDD) or unit testing in general. In fact the architecture that makes Windows Workflow powerful (strict separation of workflow, activities, and the host for example) really gets in the way of unit test. read more...

submitted by mkennedy66996693(480) 3 years, 9 months ago

ClickOnce is a great deployment model for many Windows applications built with the .NET Framework. Too bad it isn't supported for C++, VB 6, or other technologies. Or is it...

Dynamic Data Access with LINQ(michaelckennedy.net)

submitted by mkennedy66996693(480) 3 years, 10 months ago

When I talk about LINQ people often ask whether it’s possible to have dynamic queries with LINQ. An example of this is presenting the user with a UI that allows them to optionally filter by some criteria or other and sort by some criteria. This was straightforward if you built-up a SQL string in code. The compiled, static nature of LINQ makes this appear difficult at first. They are not and this video and sample application shows you how to accomplish just this. read more...
