I have mentioned Data Access Application Block in my previous posts and I thought it would be convenient to mention how to configure the Data Access Application Block in your project. Mr. Thiru Thangarathinam has written a very nice post about it in very detail hence I’ll just summarize it here. ...

In this post, we’ll see how the same tasks that we did using ADO.Net objects can be done using Data Access Application Block. We will also see how it makes the code much more tidier. Data Access Application Block is part of Microsoft Enterprise Library.

This is the last installment in the series about A* search. The C# source code implemented is available in the final part of this post. As promised in the last words of A* pathfinding search in C# - Part 2 today we’re gonna run a test case using the Romania map. This post shows a test case in which ...

This post describes step by step the methods used to implement the A* search algorithm. To illustrate the path finding problem and how it can be solved using A* I decided to use the Romania map (with the same Cities I used in Breadth and depth first search series of posts). Now I modified it adding ...

Over the years of software development, one thing that has eluded most developers is Data Access. Yes, I mean writing code that accesses a database from your application. It is an age old problem since the days when data storage and computing were invented. We would have thought that by now we would...

Standing on the shoulders of giants just like Eric Lippert, this is my try to create a running sample of the code he has presented in his magnific series of posts titled Path Finding Using A* in C# 3.0. Eric wrote the base structure of the A* pathfinding algorithm but didn’t provide a complete runni...

The default implementation of Dynamic Data provides a drop down list box for each foreign key and boolean field in a table. The drop down list allows you to filter the table with the value selected from the drop down list box. The figure below shows a view of the Product table from the AdventureWork...

This book written by Granville Barnett and Luca Del Tongo is part of an effort to provide all developers with a core understanding of algorithms that operate on various common, and uncommon data structures. Data Structures and Algorithms: Annotated Reference with Examples is completely free!

Data-binding expressions are contained within delimiters and use the Eval and Bind functions. The Eval function is used to define one-way (read-only) binding. The Bind function is used for two-way (updatable) binding. In addition to calling Eval and Bind methods to perform data binding in a data-bin...

A site that allows you to enter JSON text and check it for strict compliance against the standard (RFC 4627). Errors are pointed out with quite good accuracy, highlighting the offending area. The output is also pretty-formatted. The only downsite is that your JSON text is processed and validated on ...
