Invoking extension methods via reflection – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2013/06/21/invoking-extension-methods-via-reflection

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. Invoking extension methods via reflection. As part of a small project I’m working on I created a dynamic wrapper around a class that was almost exclusively used with extension methods. You can’t just do the following. SomeClass.GetType().GetMethod("ExtensionMethod").Invoke( someClass, null);. Typeof(ExtensionMethodClass) .GetMethod("SomeMethod") .Invoke(null, new [] { someClass });. We’re required to pass an instance of.

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. I'm just a lowly programmer at a company that doesn't really want my association with them known. I live in Southern California have a beautiful wife (Kim) and a beautiful new daughter Zoe. I have a few open source projects. You can find most of them on Github. I currently love developing in c# and javascript. There really isn't much more to say just now - I'll flesh this out later :). So if you're a spammer please stop.

Why do I waste time with View Engines? – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2014/01/22/why-do-i-write-view-engines

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. Why do I waste time with View Engines? A few people recently asked me why I bother writing View Engines like Parrot. When it’s very likely that nobody will ever use them. It’s not about usage or even getting a popular library out there. It’s all about the experience and growing as a developer. I called it “Dark Tempest Scripting Language” or “DTSL” for short. It was a very strange language and very lousy. That was a function. T...

Gists are just like any repository. – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2015/05/01/gists-are-just-like-any-repository

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. Gists are just like any repository. I was editing a gist recently when I thought. There's got to be a better way! So I tried to clone my gist from the command line using the following command. Git clone git@gist.github.com: gistid. Turns out that’s valid! Since I own the gist as well I can push to it just like any. Other repository on git. This is really awesome since I write gists often. Blog comments powered by Disqus.

Organize By Feature – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2013/12/10/organize-by-feature

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. Taking inspiration from João P. Bragança. To organize per feature. I’ve taken the concept and applied it to MVC. The idea behind it is to group related classes/files together by feature rather than function. By default MVC creates a. Folder. This is fine for tiny projects with a couple controllers. It gets unyielding when your website grows. All we need to do is update the Razor View Engine and tell it where our files now reside.

Javascript View Engine for Asp.Net – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2013/12/16/javascript-view-engine-for-aspnet

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. Javascript View Engine for Asp.Net. I was chatting with a friend the other day and was remarking about Parrot. When I made an offhand comment that I should build a view engine. That can execute Javascript. First I had to find a nice vm for javascript that I could execute within .Net. I found some promising ones after a lot of searching, v8sharp. Template without any issues. The view engine itself is fairly basic and isn’t muc...

Categorizing blog posts – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2014/05/14/categorizing-blog-posts

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. How important is it to categorize blog posts? Quite a few of the blog posts in my past are horribly out of date. Almost every tag is so generic that they cover most every blog post. For instance is basically every post I’ve made since I’ve started this blog. Only applies to a handleful of posts that I’ve made in the recent history. Why would you go back in time to read articles that are no longer of any use to anyone. For me it...

Dear Objects - How do I construct thee? Let me count the ways. – BuildStarted.com

http://buildstarted.com/2014/12/30/dear-objects-how-do-i-construct-thee-let-me-count-the-ways

Newly minted father. C# dev that enjoys playing around with random ideas. Dear Objects - How do I construct thee? Let me count the ways. The standard way to create a new instance of an object is to use the. Var instance = new CoolObject(); var instance = new CoolObject(someParameter);. This is great when you know the object you’re constructing. You can also use reflection to create a new instance of an object. This is a little more involved. We can now invoke the constructor to return our object. Var ins...
