Creating RSS Feeds Using ASP.NET 3.5 (blogs.dovetailsoftware.com)

published 11 months, 21 days ago, submitted by Jemm(9400) 11 months, 21 days ago

"We wanted to have an RSS feed so customers could keep up to date with new or recently updated Dovetail Knowledge Base articles. My personal mental gate was that I really didn’t want to try to figure out how to properly create an RSS or Atom feed and I didn’t want to bother with complex heavy handed frameworks like Argotic. Then one day Josh introduced me to the System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace (introduced in .Net 3.5) and my life was never the same. " read more...

LINQ ElementAt and ElementAtOrDefault (codeforeternity.com)

submitted by xtremebiz(565) 1 year, 5 months ago

We can use the ElementAt extension method of LINQ to return the element at a specified index (zero based) in a sequence. However the ElementAt extension method would throw the System.ArguementOutOfRangeException when the specified index is a negative value or not less than the size of the sequence. In such a scenario, we can use the ElementAtOrDefault extenion method which would return the default value of a type instead of throwing the System.ArguementOutOfRangeException.

SQL 2008 RTM Released, and includes .NET 3.5 SP1 (pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.1k) 1 year, 6 months ago

I'm currently installing SQL 2008 Developer Edition, and before the installation could proceed, it needed to install an update to the .NET Framework 3.5. What update does it need to install? Well, .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 is the update it needs. Now as you can see from the below screeshot, it doesn't say anything about being Beta. I wonder?... I wouldn't think SQL 2008 RTM would install .NET 3.5 SP1 Beta... So, I could only assume that this is the .NET 3.5 SP1 RTM that it's installing. However, this is a presumptuous conclusion and I don't really have any facts to back this up. It does make you wonder though... read more...

C#: Enhance Enums using Extension Methods (pietschsoft.com)

published 1 year, 6 months ago, submitted by crpietschmann(11.1k) 1 year, 6 months ago

Extension Methods are one of the coolest features that have been added in .NET 3.5. I've heard arguments that there is no reason to use them, and the only reason Microsoft added them is to enable the ability to buid LINQ. Well, I do not entirely agree with that statement; in fact, I have found a cool way to use Extension Methods to enhance the System.Enum object since it cannot be inherited. Even though Enum can not be inherited, it can be extended using Extension Methods. Here's the code to an Extension Method that extends the LocalizationMarket Enum with the ToDescriptionString() method that returns the DescriptionAttributes value for the given enum value. read more...
