Building NHibernate 1.2.1GA on .NET 3.5
20 March 08 02:49 PM
I recently reached a point where for reasons that I'm sure you can all relate to, I decided to clean my laptop and rebuild. I therefore did a clean install of Vista with SP1. As a quick aside, SP1 does actually seem to improve performance

Wow - That Was Annoying
18 November 07 06:18 PM
So I'm in an awkward place right now when it comes to programming. In addition to the fact that I no longer program on a day-to-day basis (which is starting to bug me a little more than it used to as I'm afraid I'm starting to atrophy a bit), I'm

Linq-i-fying My Existing Projects - Part 1
14 November 07 08:09 AM
To be honest, I don't know how many parts there will end up being - since the longer I'm away from day to day developing, the fewer projects I have to go back through. However, I can think of a few more off the top of my head - so I still think

ALT.NET Conference, Day 2 - Taking the Good With the Bad
06 October 07 09:57 PM
Today's post is actually a nice continuance of yesterday's because it deals very specifically with one of the issues that I raised yesterday - specifically the issue of the emerging tenuous relationship between the ALT.NET community and the rest of the

So Mad Right Now
03 October 07 07:24 PM
All I want to do is install VS 2008 - that's all. Unfortunately, the uninstall story with VS 2005 is so complicated that in the process of individually uninstalling the 10+ different applications (according to MSI), I have somehow also corrupted my LifeCam

OBA - Are We There Yet?
25 August 07 10:40 PM
I am a beliver in the power of Office as the pre-eminant smart client for the majority of LOB applicaitons. However, I also think that we're still a little ways off from realizing my belief - not because of some entrenched NIH complex held to by consultants

C# 3.0 Object Initializers
13 August 07 08:59 AM
As I'm sure you are aware, C# 3.0 includes a new language feature called object initializers. Put simply, object initializers enable you to initialize the state of an object with a single expression that does not require use of parameterized constructors.

Running Vista in VPC 2007
03 August 07 04:10 PM
I have my Orcas test bench environment setup in VPC 2007 using a Vista base image as the foundation for my Orcas differencing drive. That said, it has been driving me absolutely crazy how slow Vista performs under VPC - so after a quick search, I came

WF Custom Actions - Location Matters!
28 May 07 05:47 PM
Firstly, many thanks to Kavita Kamani for helping me figure this one out. As you may or may not know, Windows Workflow Foundation contains a lightweight, forward-chaining rules engine (by lightweight, I mean to say non- Rete ). In WF rules, a rule is

Partial Methods - I Object?
27 May 07 09:48 PM

Linq for NHibernate
09 April 07 05:42 PM
A while back, I posted on lambda expressions in C# 3.0 . In that post, I concluded by saying the following. "Personally, I would love to see somebody write an extension to NHibernate to allow use of Linq queries in the place of HQL – so if anyone's looking

09 February 07 02:05 PM
A while back I wrote a post about lambda expressions in C# 3.0 and how they are one of the enabling technologies behind Linq . I would like to continue that discussion today with a quick overview of something called extension methods. First, I want to
