Is requirePermission a Hack or a Useful Feature?(aspnetpro.com)

submitted by atifazizatifaziz(1000) 4 years, 7 months ago

He digs into how this affects partially trusted environments such as Medium Trust in ASP.NET as well as the consequences of setting this attribute to true or false. read more...

Delegates and Visitors in C#(mullr.wordpress.com)

submitted by mullrmullr(175) 4 years, 7 months ago

The GoF visitor pattern is useful but awkward. The usual c++ or Java-y versions typically involve some kind of visitor interface which your visitor must subclass. Java somewhat mitigates this with anonymous classes, but not fully. In C#, if we’re clever with the use of delegates, we can make tasks like tree traversal look about as simple as iteration. read more...

submitted by powerrushpowerrush(3873) 4 years, 7 months ago

Taking LINQ to Objects to Extremes: A fully LINQified RayTracer(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by gavinjoycegavinjoyce(25.7k) 4 years, 7 months ago

"Not too long ago I blogged about a C# raytracer which took advantage of a lot of C#3.0 language constructs. However, you may have noticed that it did not actually use LINQ query expressions all that much. Well, after discussing this with a coworker on the PLINQ team at lunch one day - I was convinced that it should be possible to express the logic of the raytracer in a LINQ to Objects query. The result is below - a single 60-line LINQ query which captures the complete raytracing algorithm." read more...

World Of HTTP/1.1 Status Codes(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorphzigamorph(3319) 4 years, 7 months ago

Most developers are familiar with the HTTP 1.0 Status Codes, that have been recently popularized by the SEO guys. We have all heard that you should use 301 Moved Permanently instead of 302 Temporary Redirect. What many of the SEO guys won’t tell you, because they don’t know any better, is that they are using the RFC 1945 HTTP/1.0 Standard that was released in May 1996, that is right it is about 12 years old. The newest HTTP/1.1 Standard, RFC 2616, was released in June 1999, and made some pretty drastic changes the the 3xx Redirect Status Codes. The goal of this post is to inform and familiarize developers with the HTTP/1.1 Standard, specifically the 3xx Redirect Status Code changes. This can have drastic effect on how you handle requests on your website and optimize your site for search engines. read more...

Super easy SQL Server 2005 Database Schema change auditing(blogs.geekdojo.net)

submitted by jamesewelchjamesewelch(2275) 4 years, 7 months ago

Here's a very simple way to make use of xml type in SQL Server 2005: audit all the object/schema changes to the database with a simple database-level trigger. It's like a poor man's source control for schema changes. But also, it could come in very handy for forensic purposes when diagnosing post-rollout issues or accidental schema changes. Anyway, it's simple and handy for what it does. read more...
