submitted by isenthil(2309) 1 year, 4 months ago

Just Recently when i was working on a solution to assign Null values to the Datetime , i was struck up for some time in doing this though the solution was simple . I had to cast to the right type ( Nullable of Datetime ) . The stuff that i was doing was assigning a value null directly to the variable when used with the Ternary or coascalence operator .

ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM Released!(www.microsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 4 months ago

ASP.NET MVC 3 is a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD). The installation package includes templates and tools for Visual Studio 2010 to increase productivity when writing ASP.NET MVC applications. For example, the Add View dialog box takes advantage of customizable code generation (T4) templates to generate a view based on a model object. The default project template allows the developer to automatically hook up a unit-test project that is associated with the ASP.NET MVC application. Because the ASP.NET MVC framework is built on ASP.NET 4, developers can take advantage of existing ASP.NET features like authentication and authorization, profile settings, localization, and so on. read more...

Monadic Parser Combinators using C# 3.0 - LukeH's WebLog - Site Home -(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by schalkvanwyk(1335) 1 year, 4 months ago

Parser combinators are an idea that I enjoy every time I go back and look at again. They are an approach to building parsers by composing very simple atomic parsers into bigger and bigger units which can ultimately express real world grammars. This idea has been particularly popular in functional languages where the parsers can naturally be thought of as functions from input strings to parse trees, and composition of parsers is just function composition. This approach often leads to a simple syntax which makes the resulting parsers pleasantly declarative in that internal-DSL kind of way. read more...

Create Custom Speech Bubbles in Silverlight.(michaelcrump.net)

submitted by mbcrump(1034) 1 year, 4 months ago

I had a reader email me the following question: “How do you create Speech Bubbles in Silverlight/WPF without adding any extra .dlls? Right off the bat, I know at least two ways to create the speech bubbles that look just like the ones in comic books. Using the Callout Shapes included with Blend 4. Using the free 3rd party control named FreeBubbles (I used this before Blend 4). Unfortunately, we cannot use either of these as they will both add extra .dll’s to the project. read more...
