Unit Testing Coming to a Workflow Near You

michaelckennedy.net — If you've been working with Windows Workflow, you'll find it has some cool features for orchestration, long running operations, state machines, etc. However you won't find very much support for Test Driven Development (TDD) or unit testing in general.

Dynamic Data Access with LINQ

michaelckennedy.net — When I talk about LINQ people often ask whether it’s possible to have dynamic queries with LINQ.

michaelckennedy.net — I often have to send large files around by email. For example, I had to email a colleague a 10 MB file. It seems a little rude to hit him out of the blue with a 10 MB email. I wanted something cleaner and less intrusive. So I created a simple utility I called "Big Mailer". I figured I'd blog about it and share it with the world. Feel free to use it as you see fit.
