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 . The gems platform supported the concept of DLLs as packages although some changes would have needed to happen to have long term use for the entire...

As some of you know, we recently shipped TeamCity 6 which includes, out of the box, a bundled version of dotCover . What this means is that you can now get coverage reports for your code easily, and of course, for free if you’re using the Professional version of TeamCity . The setup is quite easy...

The thing to realize is that the destination is never the most important part of the journey. It’s the journey itself. When you start a journey, you are never fully sure where it is going to end up. We started the journey down package management for .NET three times with Nu[bular] (we in this context...

In a previous post I mentioned how I was going to show you how UppercuT (UC) has the ability to make gems stupid simple to create and publish. You ask if gems can get any easier and to that I answer, “Why YES, they can!” How about just filling out the information for the gemspec, running...

The Ruby community has enjoyed a great user experience with a package management system they use called Gems. A gem is a package (or a library), compressed with some additional metadata, and can be either source files or binaries. Let’s focus on binary gems. We have the same concept in .NET (DLLs...

One of the new features dotCover has added is the ability to find tests that cover a certain piece of code. Something remotely similar has been available in ReSharper , although it has been kind of an archaic solution (i.e. Find Usages on Method calls, locate Test assemblies in Result window). dotCover...

RoundhousE , the database migration software that is based on sql scripts has added support for Oracle and SQL 2000.

I mentioned this awhile back on twitter, but UppercuT (UC) has support for Mercurial for versioning your assemblies. In the settings file, all you need to do it tell UC to use hg. When you build your assemblies, they will use the changeset number in the version, and in the informational version, you...

I was excited to hook up my new Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 HD20500 via Firewire to my XPS M1300. Suddenly I was getting a ton of error 51 codes about paging operations failing. I ran a scan of the hard drive and it is healthy. I ran the chkdisk didn’t do it either. This thread recommended switching...

Chuck Norris doesn’t program with a keyboard. He stares the computer down until it does what he wants. All things need a name. We’ve tossed around a bunch of names for the framework of tools we’ve been working on, but one we kept coming back to was Chuck Norris. Why did we choose Chuck Norris...

Yesterday the ReSharper Twitter Account tweeted about a Zen Coding Plug-in available as a PowerToy. If you’re not familiar with Zen Coding, check out this link . I received a couple of emails from people asking about the PowerToys and what exactly they were, and to be honest, I wasn’t really...

I’m starting a new series of blogs posts on profiling, where we’ll try and cover common bottlenecks and how to identify them in your applications. However, before delving deeper into the subject, let me make a small but important observation: Your bottleneck is probably not your for loop...
