.NET continues to DoS attack me, seriously!(saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de)

submitted by dun3(360) 2 years, 9 months ago

Yeah, it does! And I don’t necessarily mean denial of service - that would mean that I couldn’t get any programming done. Nope, far from it - but it sure is denial of sleep attacking me. Come one, I am struggling to keep up with all the new runtimes, features, frameworks and best practices coming out of Redmond. It’s awesome and actually fun; no doubt about it - but sometimes it is excruciating as well. And today I am going to talk about the excruciating experience of seeing another reinvented wheel hobble out of Microsoft. read more...

SubForum To Be Designed Using the 960 Grid System(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 10 months ago

SubForum is an open source discussion forum using the ASP.NET MVC framework. However, we are going to use the 960 Grid System to develop the interface. The 960 Grid System is basically web design for 1024×768 display. Word is 800×600 is dead and 960 pixels is the new gold standard. The current interface was put together using css only. We are not putting any of the styling into the controls or aspx pages. All styling will leverage CSS and will not be embedded into any component, control, or page. We believe this will allow designers more freedom to develop themes which SubForum will support. read more...

Simple Tag Cloud Implementation for ASP.NET MVC(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 10 months ago

I read this post by Mikesdotnetting a few days ago when I was trying to implement a Tag Cloud for our open source forum project SubForum. Although it was a good post and got me started on how to do it, I found it a bit complex for what I needed. One of the complications that I saw was obviously the Entity Framework and the data layer that Mike talked about to build the Tag Cloud. The data I needed was quite simple and didn’t need to be that complex. I decided to implement a simple ASP.NET MVC Tag Cloud using plain SQL and a simple table structure. Also, I did not want categories. I just wanted posts and post tags, so that my Tag Cloud could more accurately represent the Tags in the posts. read more...

Use Castle Windsor to Read Your Config Files Automatically(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 10 months ago

I have not updated my code to the latest Castle Windsor. I am still using the the previous version. With it you can setup your .config files to be parsed automatically and stored for you. All you have to do is setup an interface and initialize a class. From that point on if you need to add anything to your storage (app.config or web.config) you just have to update the interface. read more...

How To Sort From Left To Right with SQL Server 2005 and above(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 10 months ago

A few months back I wrote a web service that generates lottery numbers for the Texas Lottery. The concept is that the numbers are not truly random; otherwise, there would be a uniform spread for the numbers. Also, some numbers are hot numbers and you are more likely to pick a winner using the hottest numbers. read more...

Use a BindingListCollectionView from a BindingList from a List<T>(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 10 months ago

Let’s say you have a WPF application with a DataGrid on it. You also have a strongly typed list of objects – I.E. List<Person> which you would normally bind to your grid. You might have been under the misconception that you can’t convert the List<Person> to a BindingListCollectionView. I have searched google for answers and ran across people saying you can’t do that. It is possible and I will show you how to make it happen. read more...

WPF C1DataGrid how to tab or shift tab(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 10 months ago

I am working on a WPF project at work and we purchased a couple components from a couple of different component vendors. One of them is ComponentOne and we have used the C1DataGrid in several places. Recently a bug was submitted that said they could not tab or shift tab through the grid and have it select the next or previous row automatically when the beginning or end of the row is hit. read more...

Subversion is awesome I am a big fan of source control and subversion is my favorite. I used it for several years before being forced into using TFS on my current project. Subversion is great because it really doesn’t get in your way. You hardly notice the code is under source control. read more...

Regional Conflicts(wijix.com)

submitted by syedtayyabali(135) 2 years, 11 months ago

We have all come to love our IDE features and take them from granted nowadays. Features like intellisense, code-complete, refactoring and code organization and of course the use of Regions. The #region and #endregion keywords basically provide the ability to hide code and collapse it into a short word or phrase provided at the beginning of the block with the IDE showing a plus sign to expand and collapse the region. Eg: #region Public Methods #endregion read more...

Var Wars – Abuse of the CSharp var(theahmadblog.blogspot.com)

submitted by ahmadadnan(30) 2 years, 11 months ago

CSharp 3.0 introduced the var keyword for declaring variables without having to explicitly specify the type. This was done for using anonymous types returned from LINQ queries. Now, I am seeing many developers use it all over their code and think its a good thing. read more...

Generate c# Enums From Your SQL Database(wijix.com)

submitted by pjacobs(375) 2 years, 11 months ago

Many developers like to stick their data inside the database and load their combo boxes and other application data from it. There are lots of reasons for doing so such as localizing your data or maybe you can’t write to the local file system for whatever reason. In my case the local file system was untouchable. read more...
