In .NET, open source does not beget open source(bvanderveen.com)

submitted by alexandrul.ct(475) 4 months, 17 days ago

Ruby, Python, Perl, Node, and Clojure all have, to varying degrees, a unified story for defining a project, translating its source code into runnable code, running a test suite, building distributable packages, and resolving and installing a project or package’s dependencies. These stories just work across all supported platforms. Setting up a cross-platform open source .NET project is non-trivial. ... read more...

Evolution of the Async Controller in ASP.NET MVC(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 4 months, 17 days ago

Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind.

Check out that absolutely awesome stuff you can do with them now! read more...

Windows Phone 7.5 - Using advanced tiles API(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 4 months, 18 days ago

There is not any doubt, the first thing you meet when you use Windows Phone are the tiles. These are the large squares on the home screen that identifies some applications and they are also a distinguishable character that make your Windows Phone unique. As you know for sure, the tiles can be attached or detached from the home screen and some particular software can take advantage of double size tiles. While this is not a feature available to developers, in OS7.5, the tiles gained new features and a new set of APIs that you can use to enrich your applications. As an example you are now able to update your tiles from inside the application and you can use double faced tiles to improve information to the user. In this article I would like to explore these new features and show how to take advantage of them, while porting your software to the new operating system. read more...

C# 5 PropertyChanged - No more magic strings!(www.robfe.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 5 days ago

Changes in C# 5 mean no more NotifyPropertyChanged("SomeVariable"), which is a common source of bugs. It also means we no longer have to suffer the performance degradation associated with using workarounds such as lambda's just for the sake of compile-time checking. From here on out, the compiler does the work for us. read more...

Turns out that according to this post, and the C# 1.0 specification, that foreach loops in C# do not use IEnumerable (as found in the documentation) but rather duck-typing. Not necessarily consequential to our every day programming lives, but interesting nonetheless. read more...
