One very popular option for implementing user security in ASP.NET is to use Forms Authentication with the SQL Server membership provider. This provider creates several database tables to store user-related information, as well as a number stored procedures.
From time to time, a developer will attempt to add the ASP.NET Membership/Forms Authentication tables to their Entity [...]
As you’re probably aware, an Entity Framework model is stored in a single XML file, with the extension EDMX. Developers occasionally ask if this means that two people cannot work on the entity model concurrently. My answer to this is, "It depends." But I can give you some tips to make it easier.
Obviously, if you [...]
In this post I will demonstrate that use of the join keyword in LINQ to SQL and LINQ to Entities is nearly always wrong. LINQ queries which you write with the join keyword are harder to read and write than queries you write using associations, and they require knowledge of database metadata which is not [...]
Tagged entity framework, linq, linq to sqlDotNetSlackers just published a crossword puzzle I created; you’ll see the grid below. The puzzle is focused on .NET and programming themes, including a Delphi reference here and there. The site editors wanted an article to go with the puzzle, so I wrote an article explaining how I created the puzzle. The article is full [...]
Tagged .NET, Crosswords, DelphiIn this post, I will demonstrate how to map entity models to views in an ASP.NET MVC application without worrying about implementation details like eager loading, lazy loading, or having to manually optimize SQL for the task at hand. I will argue that expressing the relationship between an entity model in the presentation model in [...]
Tagged asp.net mvc, entity framework, linqLast week, I updated our main development branch to ASP.NET MVC 2 preview 2 (from preview 1). In this post, I’ll list some of the features I’ve found, and also issues I encountered and how I resolved them.
New Features
Some of the new features of preview 2 have been discussed elsewhere, so I won’t rehash them. [...]
C#, C++, and Delphi all have a generic type and method language feature. Although all three languages are statically typed, they implement generics in very different ways. I’m going to give a brief overview of the differences, both in terms of language features and implementation. I presume that Delphi Prism generics work essentially the same [...]
Tagged C#, compilers, Delphi, delphi prism, generics, templatesOn and off for the past few months, I’ve been experimenting with the .NET static analysis tool NDepend. NDepend works somewhat differently than most other static analysis tools I’ve tried. Notably,
Most tools tend to work on either compiled assemblies or source code. NDepend uses both.
Most tools implement their tests in compiled, executable code. NDepend, on [...]
In recent months, I’ve been thinking about the problem of static analysis in generated code. Static analysis means using tools like FxCop and NDepend (for .NET apps) lint (for C) and CodeHealer (for Delphi) to find potential problems in your source code. Generated code is code written not by a human being, but by [...]
