Microsoft Source Analysis for C# Released

Sat, 24 May 2008 02:31:14 GMT

From post: "Source Analysis is similar in many ways to Microsoft Code Analysis (specifically FxCop), but there are some important distinctions. FxCop performs its analysis on compiled binaries, while Source Analysis analyzes the source code directly. For this reason, Code Analysis focuses more on the design of the code, while Source Analysis focuses on layout, readability and documentation."

Implementing Interfaces: ICloneable and IComparable

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 05:31:02 GMT

A friend of mine was showing me about some common interfaces and some good use cases for them the other day. A discussion arose of how to accurately create a deep copy of an object and the best way to go about it. Shortly after that discussion we got into the Sort() method and how to dictate how that method will sort your objects. This is when he spilled into telling me all about these common interfaces.

Disabling Configuration Inheritance For ASP.NET Child Applications

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 04:57:05 GMT

Configuration inheritance is a very robust feature of ASP.NET that allows you to set configuration settings in the Web.Config of a parent application and have it automatically be applied to all of its child applications. There are certain situations, however, when there are configuration settings that you don't want to apply to a child application. The usual course of action is to override the setting in question in the child application's web.config file, which is ideal if there are only a handful of settings to deal with. This is less than ideal when there are a significant number of settings that need to be overridden, or when you simply want the child application to be largely independent of its parent.
