Easy and Instant deployments and instant scale for .NET? Awhile back a few of us were looking at Ruby Gems as the answer to package management for .NET .

Dru and I were recently featured on Herding Code Podcast. In the podcast we talk about everything from package management in general to Nubular (Nu) to other package management systems ( OpenWrap , Bricks , and Horn , although horn was/is slightly different) to the possibility of Microsoft releasing...

Today I was trying to wrap some code in some tests (I got lazy and did not create the tests first… shot me). What I was trying to ensure was that my event handlers I passed into a method were actually being wired up for usage. Now I searched around the net for a while to see if there was...

One of the really great things about the latest release of StructureMap is that I do not need to register objects by default if they follow a standard convention (i.e. if I want to register a controller called ‘AuthorController’ and accessed via ‘AuthorController’ I do not need to do anything, SM is...

A long while ago I got a licence for NDepend ... I had used it previously but only on the trial version, where it had proved very useful in giving me a some pretty graphs that made sense to managment when my words did not. I haven't actually got around to using it until this morning, when I thought...

I recently got brought on board to a new client where, true to form, a project was in a state of failure - everybody sort of knew it, but nobody would say it out loud. What Was Going Wrong?

As the discussion on the altdotnet list continued ( some of it around my blog yesterday ), it became apparent that some people didn't want to use an IoC container - but more confusing was that their objection to the whole pattern was that they thought the IoC container in here meant I was writing...

As it sort of came up via a previous post, and on the altdotnet mailing list ... I thought I would share a little secret with you ... abstracting out legacy systems can be pretty darn simple with a bit of Reflector magic! Step One: Get Reflector You can download it here if you don't already have...

Over the past few weeks I have worked on a few products for my client that will be used as API's. These API's will be used by either their own (external) clients or other internal departments. Working on these projects made me think about testing in a little different light compared...

Update: Re-published from old blog I've done it before, but my mind went totally blank yesterday ... due to some typically quick responses from the Castle Users Google Group ... here is the code to do it for future generations to avoid my same silly mistakes ... 1: WindsorContainer container = new...

I finally got around to upgrading to the most recent version of NUnit recently (Yea I know, bout time) and found out that there is a new way of doing assertions. The new model is referred to as the 'constraint' model and follows a more fluent style interface. Below are some examples...

What do you do when you are writing a test for a piece of code that calls out to an ‘out of your control’ service such as a web service or email server? If you are like most of us, you simply allow your test to make the call and ‘hope’ that the service is up. However, this is really bad. Having your...

Have ever wanted to use a concrete class as both the the PluginFamily and Plugable (information on StructureMap's attributes here ) type in StructureMap ? I know I have, just today in fact (not the first time, but thought I would post about it this time) I needed to do just this. Why would I want to...
