Tuning Click-Once deployment performance with VRTA and PowerShell(tellingmachine.com)

submitted by Klaus(755) 3 years, 1 month ago

Some of our client applications get distributed using the Click-Once paradigm. One day we noticed that the time between the initial click on the download link in the browser and the complete initialization of the Click-Once desktop client application took much longer than a user would tolerate. We decided to debug the deployment of the application and fix the problem. We chose the Microsoft Netmon 3.2 and the VRTA (Visual Round Trip Analyzer) for the initial analysis. read more...

Kona: Continuous Integration and Better Unit Testing(blog.wekeroad.com)

submitted by johnrummell(1321) 3 years, 1 month ago

In this screencast Rob Conery and Brad Wilson talk about continuous integration with TeamCity, Unit Testing with xUnit and TDD in general. "This screencast went from a simple idea – talking to Brad Wilson about better Unit Testing – to some pretty broad topics such as source control, unit testing, and continuous integration. I seriously could have written a whole book based on the stuff flying through my mind. I reigned it in a bit and decided to focus on two things that I don’t think get enough press: writing a good Unit Test coupled with Continuous Integration." read more...

13 ASP.NET MVC extensibility points you have to know(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by simonech(10.1k) 3 years, 1 month ago

One of the main design principles ASP.NET MVC has been designed with is extensibility. Everything (or most of) in the processing pipeline is replaceable so, if you don’t like the conventions (or lack of them) that ASP.NET MVC uses, you can create your own services to support your conventions and inject them into the main pipeline. This post shows 13 extensibility points that every ASP.NET MVC developer should know, starting from the beginning of the pipeline and going forward till the rendering of the view. read more...

Getting Started: Scripting Incuity EMI models with PowerShell(tellingmachine.com)

submitted by Klaus(755) 3 years, 3 months ago

The Incuity EMI (Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence) software lets you connect to various plant historians, real time plant data servers and conventional relational database servers and access the underlying information through an unified entity model. The heart of the model is a powerful and elegant meta-repository. The setup of the data sources and the creation of the entity model can be automated by using an easy to use client .NET API. This article describes how to get started with this API and demonstrates the creation of a connector to the plant historian server from Wonderware using PowerShell. read more...

When PowerShell hash table magic backfires(tellingmachine.com)

submitted by Klaus(755) 3 years, 4 months ago

We just made it through the holidays and I finally found time to write about the most annoying thing in PowerShell: Hash table semi-automatic, which can easily result in some subtle bugs. And all of that, just because the hash tables don't behave as I would expect. I assumed hash tables to be implicitly sorted by the keys using the Sort-Object cmdlet and to always stay hash tables and not get converted into arrays of Dictionary Entries or even a single Dictionary entry when piped into a Where-Object cmdlet. To workaround these strange defects you need to apply some unnatural constructs and roll your own select statements. It just doesn't feel fair to make your children call GetEnumerator() before they try to find today's window on their Advents Calendar. read more...
