Putting the "M" Back in MVC

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 04:46:14 GMT

"Trying to keep up my end of the bargain with respect to MVC and SubSonic :). I did a walkthrough of it and decided that I was talking too much and, in honor of everyone telling me "SubSonic is dead" I thought it fitting to toss in some Rob Zombie."

How to serialize SubSonic objects with nullable properties

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 07:27:31 GMT

Recently, I ran into the following error when trying to serialize some SubSonic generated classes. "Cannot serialize member 'XXX' of type System.Nullable`1[XXX]. XmlAttribute/XmlText cannot be used to encode complex types." The SubSonic autogenerated classes cannot serialize nullable types such as DateTime? and GUID?. This is really a .NET serialization problem and not directly related to SubSonic, since the SubSonic library just uses the native .NET code for serialization. I'll describe 3 (or 4) different ways of getting around this problem.

How to use custom audit fields with SubSonic

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:46:13 GMT

SubSonic uses a few audit fields by default - you don't need to write any code. However, the field names that are used are coded into the source code. You can modify the source code and generate a new assembly, but if you're like me and would rather not edit the source code (so you don't need to update the code at every release), then you'll be looking for an alternative approach. Three options are discussed: 1) Modify SubSonic source code, 2) Use partial classes for each table, 3) Create a custom template and base class

Cache Util and ServiceBase for SubSonic RepositoryRecord items

Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:16:09 GMT

As I mentioned, I'm using SubSonic with this project and more specifically, I've been using what will be SubSonic 2.1. I've been quite happy with the work Rob Conery and his team have done with SubSonic. For this project, I chose to go with the RepositoryRecord base class rather than ActiveRecord for my objects. My reasoning was that I end up using services to interact with the objects anyway, so I might as well reduce the "weight" of the objects. The services that I use add basic object caching as well as hide SubSonic integration. In order to facilitate caching RepositoryRecord items, I had to rewrite my CacheUtil class slightly:

SubSonic: Writing Decoupled, Testable Code With SubSonic 2.1

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:31:56 GMT

I've heard/read rumblings over the last few months that "SubSonic is tightly coupled" and therefore you have to "drag it around" with you in your project. I can see why people might think this - ActiveRecord is not the most testable thing in the world :). I've really tried to push SubSonic into the TDD realm and thought it might be a good idea to show how you can structure up a highly testable, decoupled application using SubSonic as your Data Access tool.
