Lutz Roeder's Weblog: The Future of .NET Reflector

published 4 months, 19 days ago, submitted by crpietschmann 4 months, 19 days ago

blog.lutzroeder.com — After more than eight years of working on .NET Reflector, I have decided it is time to move on and explore some new opportunities. I have reached an agreement to have Red Gate Software continue the development of .NET Reflector. Red Gate has a lot of experience creating tools for both .NET and SQL Server. They have the resources necessary to work on new features, and Reflector fits nicely with other .NET tools the company offers. Red Gate will continue to provide the free community version and is looking for your feedback and ideas for future versions. read more...

On Fluent NHibernate : Ayende as always provides the immutable line

submitted by dcarr 4 months, 27 days ago

ayende.com — There has been some noise lately about Fluent NHibernte. This gives you a fluent interface to configure NHibernate mapping. I don't really see the point, frankly. Fluent NHibernate, at least in its current stage, requires a mapping class per entity. At this point, I might as well use the XML again. In general, anything that requires me to touch two places to make one change is suspect. That is part of the reason that I like ActiveRecord, the change is highly localized. read more...

Update to: Microsoft cracking down on community extensions

lovethedot.blogspot.com — The original story (http://www.dotnetkicks.com/csharp/Microsoft_cracking_down_on_community_extensions) got quite a bit of traffic from here. There've been some clarifications and updates from Microsoft and the StyleCop team that, I think, make their position clear and reasonable -- also, the original how-to that had been taken down "at Microsoft's request" is back up. A lot of people kicked the original story, so I hope you'll all take the opportunity to read Microsoft's responses and give them fair consideration. read more...

Microsoft cracking down on community extensions

lovethedot.blogspot.com — Microsoft released a tool called Microsoft Source Analyzer, or StyleCop. It analyzes source code for standards violations. It's a 1.0 release, so it doesn't do some things ... like have a published API for custom rules or MSBuild integration. So the community dug in and figured out how to do these things and now MS is firing off license-violation emails. Don't they get it? The community wants to use the product, but it's too limited ... these extensions help make it better. read more...
