Showcase of C# VS2008 Snippets

Sat, 09 Aug 2008 12:10:19 GMT

Why write snippets when you can generate them using C#? The advantage seems obvious: greater adaptability and a functionality similar to parameter passing - but with snippets. This project is precisely this - an attempt to have snippets with arity, permitting developers to, e.g., quickly generate fully-specified data structures of the size they choose, or to make plumbing code for executing precisely N processes in parallel. The possibilities are endless!

Detailed code metrics with NDepend

Fri, 30 May 2008 08:01:12 GMT

A while ago, I blogged about code performance analysis in Visual Studio 2008. Using profiling and hot path tracking, I measured code performance and was able to react to that. Last week, Patrick Smacchia contacted me asking if I wanted to test his project NDepend. He promised me NDepend would provide more insight in my applications. Let's test that!

Restoring VS2005's 'prop' snippet in VS2008

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:37:10 GMT

Automatic properties are nice, but sometimes they just won't do. Visual C# 2005 included a 'prop' code snippet for a full property with backing filed but 2008 changed the snippet to generate an automatic property. Here's how to restore the 2005 snippet.

Top 10+ source code search engines

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:01:02 GMT

Programmers are coding and coding in somewhere for some purpose. I wonder how many lines of code is written in a minute on the world :) I guess thousands of lines. But most them are coding the same snippets of code again and again. I always used "Koders" not to reinvent america, means not to rewrite the codes someone else have already solved. There are plenty of code search engines out there to serve us (programmers) with the millions of lines of codes to fasten our job. So you can use the following code search engines for this purpose

Not Invented Here Syndrome

Fri, 11 May 2007 09:34:58 GMT

When it comes to components and tools, not only are you robbing yourself of a productivity boost by not having to develop every little thing in your app, but you miss the quality benefits that a specialized vendor can bring to the table. If you look around at the component vendors and open-source projects that exist on the web, more than likely you can find one that will scratch your itch and save you money.

When Bad Code Attacks

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 08:46:01 GMT

You don't always know it's there. Maybe you saw it in passing and thought to yourself, "If I don't look it directly in the eyes, it can't hurt me." And then it happens - an error in production, high-priority change request, or time to redesign the system for a new version. Suddenly, you're in fight to the finish and the clock is ticking.

Types of confusion

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 15:01:01 GMT

When I began programming in my early teens, I was very excited to learn about programming and also excited to become a "real" programmer. I remember picking up a book from the library that purported to teach what real programmers were like. I absorbed the material and enjoyed every page. I can only remember a handful of things from that book which I now realize was not very serious material, but I do remember one quote: "Strong typing is for people with weak minds." I thought to myself, "I don't want to have a weak mind" and I didn't want people to think that I have a weak mind so I thought that I should definitely not embrace strong typing. But what was "strong typing" anyway, I wondered. After much reflection on my (brief) programming experience, I decided that strong typing was using the keyboard a lot. So I decided that people with weak minds wrote overly verbose code. I then applied my new found principle.
