Be sure to put in some default value when testing with Nullable types(blog.krisvandermast.com)

submitted by KvdM(1695) 5 years, 10 months ago

Nullable types are a great feature in .NET 2.0 but even when the code compiles the functional behaviour can turn out to be completely different from what you would expect when comparing and the value is null. read more...

Build Contention Equation(jayflowers.com)

submitted by jflowers(1860) 5 years, 10 months ago

We are exploring new ways to build our software at work. I was trying to convey a thought on validating the feasibility of a build process today with the following equation. Number of Change Packages = 8 Hours * 60 Minutes / (Build Time + Preparation Time + Buffer) Filling out the right side of the equation will show how many change packages can be process by the build on an average day. The Build Time is how long it take the build to complete. The Preparation Time is how long it takes a developer to get the build started. This could represent claiming the build token, submitting to source control and waiting for the build process to begin. In the proposed build process only one developer could submit at a time; the build is triggered by a submission to source control. The Buffer is the tricky variable. Read the entry to find out why. read more...

Announcing Our Book! (Windows Developer Power Tools)(frazzleddad.blogspot.com)

submitted by jflowers(1860) 5 years, 10 months ago

The book is around 1100 pages of goodness on open source and freeware tools you can use to improve your software development work. The book’s all about using tools to bring value to the entire development cycle from writing code to testing to lifecycle management. We’ve got something like 170 tools from Anthem.NET to Sysinternals RegMon to Bugzilla. We chose tools which help improve the quality of code you write, or help improve your productivity as a developer. (We also chose stuff we thought was just plain cool, too.) What’s really neat is that we’ve had a significant number of articles written by the tool creators themselves. This is great because 1) these folks know their own tools inside and out and can best write about the tools’ value, and 2) they were passionate enough to write the tool in the first place and that passion (hopefully!) comes across in their articles. We’ve also had some terrific folks contribute articles to the book as well. James and I have still ended up writing probably 70% of the book ourselves, plus we edited every submission for consistency, style, and content. read more...

Access Web Services Asynchronously in .NET Design Patterns(codeproject.com)

submitted by tiernano(1674) 5 years, 10 months ago

In the real world, client software usually communicate with web services asynchronously. An asynchronous call returns immediately, and receives the result separately when the processing is completed. This can avoid latency across network freezing the application UI or blocking other processes. read more...

Anyone Need A .NET Open Source Rss Library?(haacked.com)

Phil Haack is looking to fork the RSS.NET library: "Ideally, I would like to start a new project that is essentially a fork in RSS.NET, perhaps called FeedGenerator.NET (call me the forkmaster). I could probably host it on CodePlex in order to give me an opportunity to try it out and provide feedback. Would anyone find such a library useful other than us blog engine developers? Anyone have a better name?" read more...
