Hosting an Automated Build Server von .Net Smoothie

I’m the build server guy at my company. I’ve been using an automated integration service for about 3 years, and I love it. It really helps keep me disciplined. Before my build server was running, we had a constant problem with missing files...

For my students on the Trivadis .Net 2.0 course this week, I’ve made a quick web-service for you in Visual Basic. For everyone else,  I’ll let you use it too. I might not keep it online for long though, and there are no guarantees to...

C# Acrobatics : Lambdas and Expression Methods as a replacement for NVelocity von .Net Smoothie

The Value of Being Free to See the Source von .Net Smoothie

Since the source code to ASP.Net was made available, I’ve been using it extensively. Here’s a great example of why it’s so valuable. I’ve been trying to integrate the Enterprise Library 3.1 Exception Handling Block into my application...

Easy Data-loading with LINQ-to-SQL and LINQ-to-XML von .Net Smoothie

.Net 3.5 had some nice tricks in it. LINQ-to-XML was one of them. With the new "X"-types, you can make working with XML really easy. VB.Net 9 takes it one step further, and lets you write XML in your code without strings. "Hey Rich, that’s...

Design Guidelines for LINQ von .Net Smoothie

Have you wondered if and when you should use the new LINQ features in .Net 3.5? Like, where should I put a new extension method? Should I use Func<T> or a custom delegate? How do I best implement a mix-in (extension methods on an interface)? Well...

Read Word Documents in a Web Browser von .Net Smoothie

I love this! Not because of the features, but because of the way it works. Tim Sneath just blogged about TextGlow - an online Word docx file reader. The docx format is XML, and Silverlight 2 apps can use LINQ-to-XML to parse it and format it for display...

ExtensionMethod.net - An Extension Methods Database von .Net Smoothie

While surfing around tonight, I came across ExtensionMethod.net, a database of useful Extension Methods for C# 3.0 and VB 9. I thought it might be useful, so I added a few of my own extension methods. IComparable<T>.LessThan int.Times int.To There...

LINQ or DIE von .Net Smoothie

I just read a fantastic quote about LINQ from the book Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 by Joseph C. Rattz, Jr.: I prefer to think of LINQ as a data iteration engine, but perhaps Microsoft didn’t want a technology named DIE. I think...

Remove and Sort Those Ugly “using-Statements” von .Net Smoothie

Visual Studio 2008 has lots of goodies in it, like LINQ syntax, CSS editing, and testing tools. There’s a lesser-known feature which I really appreciate though - the “Remove and Sort Usings” command in the C# editor. You activate the...

Refactoring C# Series: Aggregation of IEnumerable von .Net Smoothie
