The yield statement is one of those C# statements that is really powerful but is either not understood or is unknown to most developers. Raymond Chen just posted a very good write up on how the compiler deals with the yield statement. The Old New Thing...
A few months ago I did some research into dependency injection frameworks. One of the interesting features provided by many of the DI frameworks was the support for AOP . This is really interesting stuff and great for injecting logging and caching implementations...
There are cases when you need to transmit username/password credentials to WCF without transport security. The times that you should do this are rare because of the obvious security implications of sending credentials over the wire without encryption...
This is one to remember. Paul Litwin has posted about forcing SSL gracefully on a site using a post from Paul Wilson as a reference. I'll implement this when I set up some ssl sites that are publicly available.
Jason Kresowaty has posted an incredible amount of information about creating FxCop rules. I'll get to these one day. One rule I want to write is a rule that checks for properties on a DataContract that are not assigned the DataMember attribute.
I keep coming across this problem. IE7 fails to print a document, asking the user to check that the address is correct, indicating that the address is a temporary file located in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\Low. Sometimes changing folder permissions...
A sure sign that I haven't blogged recently is that Windows Live Writer has dropped off my recent programs in the start menu. Anyway, I have seen this first set of content before (perhaps even blogged it), but it is worth including again as I have found...
As I have been writing some SQL Server based software recently, I want to expose a standard way of providing searching capabilities for tables and views. The initial implementation started with a set of WHERE conditions like the following: WHERE (FieldA...
This post has some good tips for increasing the performance of the VS2005 IDE.
For some bizarre reason (meaning I really don't know why), I have always built cache key values as strings when the key being represented is a set of values. On Friday, my eyes were opened to the fact that it is much better to create a rich object that...
I was doing some reading a while ago about digital certificates. The kind of certificate I was after was so that I could use HTTPS in IIS. It looked like the certificates were all very expensive for what they are. I finally came across a post that referred...
MSDN has a set of articles regarding WCF versioning that are good to cast your eyes over. Service Versioning Data Contract Versioning Best Practices: Data Contract Versioning Collection Types in Data Contracts
A little while ago, I was playing with DNS entries. I was having a few issues here and there with DNS and mail configuration. After doing some research, I came across DNS Report which was absolutely brilliant for troubleshooting my problems. DNS Report...
This is another one of those memory (as in I want to keep some kind of reference to this post) type of posts. I had previous come across the Activator.CreateInstance and beyond post by Haibo Luo about the performance of Activator.CreateInstance, but had...
This is basically a reminder post, but you might find it useful. In the development I have been doing in the last few months, I have been doing a lot of config based assembly loading. Trying to find out why an assembly doesn't load can be very difficult...
