Memory Stream Multiplexer–write and r...
Here’s an implementation of MemoryStream like buffer manager where one thread can write and many threads can read simultaneously. Each reading thread gets its own reader and can read from the shared stream on its own without blocking write operation or other parallel read operations. It supports blocking Read call so that reader threads can c [...]
Finally! Entity Framework working in ...
Entity Framework was supposed to solve the problem of Linq to SQL, which requires endless hacks to make it work in n-tier world. Not only did Entity Framework solve none of the L2S problems, but also it made it even more difficult to use and hack it for n-tier scenarios. It’s somehow half way between a fully disconnected ORM and a fully conne [...]
Do not use “using” in WCF Client
You know that any IDisposable object must be disposed using using. So, you have been using using to wrap WCF service’s ChannelFactory and Clients like this:
using(var client = new SomeClient()) {. ..}
Or, if you are doing it the hard and slow way (without really knowing why), then:
using(var factory = new ChannelFactory<ISomeService> [...]
New and Improved Dropthings – the Ope...
I have made some significant improvements and bug fixes on the latest 2.5.4 release of Dropthings, my open source Web 2.0-style AJAX Portal built on ASP.NET 3.5, Linq to SQL, Linq to Xml, Silverlight, Enterprise Library, Unity, Velocity, and what not. All the cool production quality techs you want to see in action are there in Dropthings – in [...]
C# with keyword equivalent
There’s no with keyword in C#, like Visual Basic.
So you end up writing code like this:
this.StatusProgressBar.IsIndeterminate = false;
this.StatusProgressBar.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
this.StatusProgressBar.Minimum = 0;
this.StatusProgressBar.Maximum = 100;
this.StatusProgressBar.Value = percentage;
Here’s a work around [...]
Do Unit Test and Integration Test fro...
You usually write unit test and integration test code separately
using different technologies. For example, for unit test, you use
some mocking framework like Moq to
do the mocking. For integration test, you do not use any mocking,
just some test classes that hits some service or facade to do
end-to-end integration test. However, sometimes yo [...]
Is your computer running slow, batter...
If your computer is running hot or battery running out quickly
then it is most likely due to some application or process consuming
high CPU or memory. If you keep running applications for a long
time, for example, Outlook, then it continues to grow in memory
consumption and does not free up memory efficiently. As a result,
your computer runs [...]
Unit Testing and Integration Testing ...
I am yet to find a proper sample on how to do realistic Test
Driven Development (TDD) and how to write proper unit tests for
complex business applications, that gives you enough confidence to
stop doing manual tests anymore. Generally <a href=

Simple way to cache objects and colle...
Caching of frequently used data greatly increases the
scalability of your application since you can avoid repeated
queries on database, file system or to webservices. When objects
are cached, it can be retrieved from the cache which is lot faster
and more scalable than loading from database, file or web service.
However, implementing caching [...]
