Like nightmares, only codier! Thursday, May 17, 2012. Developing for, but remaining decoupled from Azure. This started out as a Yammer. Discussion post, but got obviously way too long for that, so I decided to blog it instead.). A coworker had mentioned that there could be difficulty in developing for Azure while maintaining independence from it by decoupling from direct dependencies. Having done this from the beginning in my almost 2-year old Azure project, I decided to tell how I did this. To run on Az...

Like nightmares, only codier! Sunday, March 18, 2012. JsTrace 1.3 Released. Get it while it's hot! I just added a few features to the JsTrace. New passthrough methods on the Trace object for the following: assert, clear, count, dir, dirxml, exception, group, groupCollapsed, groupEnd, profile, profileEnd, table, time, timeEnd, trace. Note that the Trace script does nothing but pass these through if they exist. Ability to get/set the default trace level with the Trace.defaultTraceLevel method. So, as of Az...

Like nightmares, only codier! Saturday, March 17, 2012. Disable Minification with MVC 4 Bundles. I decided to play around with a bunch of new technologies to dive in and learn today. I decided to write a basic blog app (yeah, boring, I know) using the following tools:. Visual Studio 11 Beta. ASPNET MVC 4 Beta. Twitter Bootstrap 2.0. Everything was going well, adding NuGet. Packages left and right (click, click, click! I added my JsTrace. Fix #1 - Add my own Bundles. OK, problem solved. Public static clas...

Like nightmares, only codier! Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Windows Azure AppFabric Caches Miniscule Features. Just wanted to warn/inform people who are considering using AppFabric Caching in Azure…. Here’s a list of things it won’t. Allow you to get a list of cache keys currently in use. High Availability Mode (redundant copies across machines for durability). No sliding window expiration. No events for things like eviction, add/remove, etc. No Powershell integration (if you’re into that). I just upgrade...

It tells me:. The media for installation package couldn't be found. It might be incomplete or corrupt. It's a Self-Extracting EXE!

Like nightmares, only codier! Saturday, November 19, 2011. Chain Of Responsibility Implementation. I was reading my twitter feed and came across a retweet from Glenn Block. The original was from Anoop Madhusudanan. Which pointed to his blog post called “ Implementing Chain of Responsibility Design Pattern in C# using Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF). 8221; It sounded very interesting, so I dug in. UPDATE: I have since updated this post. Look for the block at the bottom]. Monday, November 7, 2011.

Codemares: February 2012
http://codemares.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Like nightmares, only codier! Monday, February 27, 2012. JsTrace 1.1.1 released. So, I released a new version of the JsTrace. This version basically includes rewriting things to be a little more "proper" in the JavaScript side of things. I removed things like the "with" keyword (reimplemented just using basic closure technique). Turned on/Fixed a lot of JSHint restrictions (though I still don't dig the "use one var statement" thing, so I don't follow that – it's totally unnecessary in my opinion). I deal...

Like nightmares, only codier! Tuesday, August 4, 2009. Redefining DataTemplates for an Inheritance Hierarchy in WPF. I'm working on a project using WPF and MVVM. Given that, my app is very DataTemplate-. My app is following this pattern:. Every ViewModel class has a default View ( CustomControl. Normally, the template looks like this:. For the type "MyViewModel". Well, I ran across a bit of a problem when I was creating a pluggable architecture which included a set of ICommand. TextBlock Text="- " /.
