Reduce Chain and Extract Projection Refactorings(www.kodefuguru.com)

submitted by KodefuGuru(2818) 2 years, 3 months ago

Code Contract framework(tr3v.net)

How nice would it be if we could replace that with a more readable & more concice structure so that we can simply write: Require.That(fileInfo, IsNot.Null, Is.ExistingFileSystemObject) read more...

LINQ to SQL is NOT dead!(jonkruger.com)

submitted by david_holland(605) 2 years, 11 months ago

Ever since Microsoft announced that the Entity Framework was their ORM of choice, people everywhere have been saying, “LINQ to SQL is dead!” A lot of people feel like they’re not allowed to use LINQ to SQL anymore and that they have to use Entity Framework instead. In fact, LINQ to SQL is not only alive and well, Microsoft has even announced LINQ to SQL improvements in .NET 4.0, including finally adding using ITable<T> for tables instead of Table<T>, which makes it much easier to test. Combine that with this open source tool that will create an IDataContext interface for you and you’re on your way to testable LINQ to SQL. So no, LINQ to SQL is not dead!! read more...
