Using Open XML SDK 2.0 to Create Office Solutions on Windows 7(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by zhiming(1135) 2 years, 3 months ago

With Open XML SDK 2.0, it becomes much easier to create Microsoft Office (2007 and 2010) based solutions with managed code than to work with VSTO (Office runtime for Visual Studio through interop) directly. The December 2009 Community Technical Preview (CTP) of the SDK, available for download here, is supported on Windows 7, Vista, XP and Windows Server 2003 and 2008. You can watch this 8-minute video to learn more about how to work with the SDK, including three handy tools for developers here. read more...

Diving a Little Deeper into AutoMapper(derans.blogspot.com)

submitted by johnsheehan(4785) 2 years, 4 months ago

Every time I use AutoMapper, I think this is such an awesome tool! I think it’s hilarious to go back and read my first post in April where it states, “Now automapper is one thing I'm not sure I'll benefit from yet.” and I go on to say, “I'm pretty confident that I will eventually slap myself in the face for posting this just because I'm sure it is an awesome tool that I will one day see as VERY cool, but right now...I don't”. Well, I’m slapping myself :) read more...

Constructor over-injection anti-pattern(jeffreypalermo.com)

submitted by ali62b(125) 2 years, 4 months ago

I’m interested in structure. We hear lots of talk about convention over configuration. I’m all for structure over convention (over configuration). This post is about laying out some code that is an anti-pattern. It uses 100% constructor injection. This code makes it easy for a container to bootstrap the construction of the objects, but let’s take a look at why this specific scenario is an anti-pattern and what design would be better. read more...

.Net 4.0: Configuring MEF with Linq to Xml(blogs.infosupport.com)

submitted by alexb(268) 2 years, 4 months ago

A much heard criticism of MEF is that the exports are configured with attributes, so if the exports need to be changed, recompilation of the application is required. In this post I'll show how to extend MEF using Linq to XML in such a way, that the exports can be configured in an external configuration file and the application no longer needs to be recompiled when the exports change. read more...
