Silverlight Development Dashboard | Phil Cockfield - My Mental Model
https://philcockfield.wordpress.com/2009/05/09/silverlight-development-dashboard
Phil Cockfield – My Mental Model. Interaction Design, Development and the Adventures of a Kiwi Abroad. Laquo; MVVM described by Fowler (as Presentation Model). Silverlight as the View of Full-Trust applications. May 9, 2009. For me the important design goals when building a tool to assist here are making this both ridiculously easy. AND the outcome permanent. In that the tests hang around. All too often make-shift harnesses are erected while a control is under development, then thrown away, abandoned...

Ruskin Dantra: De/Se-rializing C# objects to XML
http://ruskin-dantra.blogspot.com/2009/12/dese-reializing-c-objects-to-xml.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. De/Se-rializing C# objects to XML. I have come across many projects over the years which need some sort of serializing and deserializing of C# objects to XML. I usually remember the general syntax but more than often end up searching for the exact syntax. There are tonnes of articles on this by the way and this blog is merely to give me a consistent way of doing this rather than anything else. XmlRoot(ElementName = "Customer", IsNullable = false)]. Name = "Ruskin Dantra",.

Ruskin Dantra: October 2014
http://ruskin-dantra.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. To I (interface) or not to I. Recently I had a very interesting debate about when to create interfaces for classes and when not to. The debate was specific to DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) but the debate can be generalised a bit further. A web article. Was referenced which overwhelmingly said. 8220;no, you should not create interfaces for DTOs”. Argument A: The interface serves no purpose. Argument B: I’ll add the interface when the need arises. Interfaces also build that extra ...

Sunday, October 21, 2012. How are we raised? There are a lot of things in life that intrigue me, out of which I have to say faith and spirituality are right up there on the list. In the past recent few months we have been learning about God and the Holy Spirit and a lot of questions have come to mind. Out of which, the question which I have long asked even before attending church was of immortality. A question, which I am sure is on everyone’s mind, what happens after death? 160; Maybe a hallucination?

Ruskin Dantra: Using Microsoft Enterprise Library VAB with WCF services – Part 2
http://ruskin-dantra.blogspot.com/2009/12/using-microsoft-enterprise-library-vab_21.html
Monday, December 21, 2009. Using Microsoft Enterprise Library VAB with WCF services – Part 2. We looked at a simple solution on how to do service side validation for a simple WCF service and pass the resulting validation result back to the client. In this article we’ll look at some other types of validators provided by the Enterprise Library and also touch the topic of rulesets and how they help. So far we have looked at RangeValidator. Let us look at some of its properties. Allows the developer to repl...

Saturday, October 24, 2009. Using VB to show IIS sites within Installshield 2010. Quite often I have worked on projects where an installer is needed. So far I am quite familiar with Installshield and its inner workings so this blog describes a simple piece of code which solves a generic issue I had. Dim objW3SVC, objIisWebSite. Set objDB = Session.DatabaseSet. ObjInstaller = Session.Installer. Delete any records that may exist. Set viewList = Database.OpenView(SELECT * FROM ComboBox). ObjView = objDB...
