When your code is reused
I am back from a weeks break in one of my favorite
places - the Outer Banks in North Carolina. After much sun, playing with
my new
toy and getting to spend quality with the family - it is time for a
"just back" blogpost. I am sifting through the inevitable pile of email
and came across something that warms my heart ...
It is always a great compliment when something you
developed is used in places that you never imagined. I wrote this
article in June 2004 to share my
sorting method using late binding which has proven to be very useful to
thycotic on various projects over
the years. I have received lots of feedback on Thycotic.Collections since then including very useful
performance tweaks from Niels Lunn (thank you!).
Today I was informed by John Winstanley that he has
included Thycotic.Collections in a new set of
CodeSmith templates that he has put together as a rapid starter kit to get
developers up and running with ASP.NET and a SQL Server back end. John, as
you can guess, is using Thycotic.Collections for
its generic sorting power in his DataDictionary
class.
Where has your code been reused in a
surprising way?
