EntitySpaces 2008- LINQ to DataTable?
posted by robconery(160) 4 years ago 0
MIke don't you feel a little... I dunno... silly kicking your own posts? I always wonder about that when people kick their own stuff. But in your case you're trying to sell something and I know Gavin's chased you for it in the past. I have to say, the weird pictures on your blog posed like me, kicking your own stuff - you kind of come across as Ari in Entourage. Maybe I'm wrong - hope I am. It's to the point where anything EntitySpaces-related just seems like a publicity push
A Serious Challenge for Open Source?

Good luck with Lightspeed. Perhaps it will "scale to millions of records" as you need it to LOL.
Hi John - couple of thoughts... 1) My comment was relating to Chris's forum post wherein he made the claim that SubSonic couldn't scale. In no way was my comment directed at LightSpeed - mad props to you guys and apologies for the inference 2) That said I think you know very well that I wasn't taking a jab at you :p and I have to say you guys do a really annoying job at swarming the communities out there. 24 kicks indeed... Nothing but respect for your product... I loathe your marketing though.
A Failure in Microsofts Open Source Strategy

Looks like my comment didn't make it through - hopefully Gavin won't axe it from here too :) Microsoft funds Apache: http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/software/0,39044164,62044266,00.htm Microsoft contributes to jQuery and gives 24 hour support of the product: http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=2939 Microsoft puts dashCommerce and other OSS apps on ASP.net: http://www.asp.net/community/projects/ Microsoft gives dashCommerce an MSDN license: http://chriscyvas.com/2008/01/02/dashcommerce-30-summary-of-changes-and-no-i-dont-work-for-microsoft/ If you need something in particular I’m sure you can ask them for it. From what I hear they’re fairly open.
SubSonic to Acquire NHibernate
posted by robconery(160) 3 years, 1 month ago 0
Oy! Duckie! I think NHibernate's having some fun with your site! Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.Customer'.'PK_ShopCustomer' in database 'matronics_dk2' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup. Sorry to hear you've had a rough go of it. For what it's worth you're the first "4-minute NHibernate" user I've ever run across :). And SubSonic 3 will be out next week.... as if you care :)
How to choose between ASP.NET MVC and Web Forms
Please don't use this "scoring" chart with respect to MVC and WebForms. Honestly - you can't "score" something like "should I care about testability" (which rates an 8) against "do I need to use this Server Control" (which scores a 10). There are so many problems with approaches like this - really the only answer is to *try it* and see if it works for you or your org.
Use specific return types in your ASP.NET MVC action methods
posted by robconery(160) 2 years, 10 months ago 0
*** I left this on the post but I think it's worth having it here to. I don't think this is a good idea... Actually this isn't a very good idea because you can't follow it consistently. Consider handling posts from forms - the general pattern is that if the POST works and the operation is completed you return a RedirectToAction result; if not you return a view. This could happen quite a few times. I would say for Index/Details actions - this could be more readable - but typing a return is akin to "coupling" if you will and if there was an "IActionResult" I might offer you should *always* use that for the same reasons people use interfaces in programming: Future Proofing. You don't know that your method will always return a ViewResult - you could change it in the future to return Json (or something cool that MVCContrib is using, or maybe a result type you just created) and boom, you've broken your app. Code boundaries should be nimble, not strongly typed for the sake of readability :).
