re: Goodbye Stored procedures, It’s the time to move on "Linq to Sql"

additional value is revealed when you have associated objects.. So when you save an object of type A you are persisting all related objects TypeA.TypeB.... Even more of a benefit is that you can have simple external transaction wrapping it up, so you never have the possibility of a stored procedure creating a record in table A but not in table B....

this discussion is the same as arguing for and against object oriented programming. The benefits are obvious: type-safe scalable and readable code.

Humans make mistakes, and by adding stored procedures you better know what you are doing cause you can easily reak havoc.

I myself am a big fan of nHibernate and Linq seems to offer the same advantages. And i loathe cursors and all the other bs that should be in easily extensible code rather than TSQL...

Add <asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem> like this <asp:DropDownList><asp:ListItem></asp:ListItem></asp:DropDownList>

This works whether you are using static values or dynamic values

>We have worked with 100% SProcs used in our systems for years. All our business logic sits ONLY on the DB side.

Have you even heard of OOP and modelling your business rules with classes and objects? I am a fan of sprocs, but i restrict their usage for basic CRUD functionality, anything else is modelled in the middle tier.

Whats the point of the Service class? What is it's single responsibility? The first test highlights the issue. You're testing a controller that consumes the service class, yet all your mocks and expectations are set on the repository class.

Indeed your SetUp method actually creates an instance of the service which means that your controller tests will test both the behavior of the service and the controller. Any change to actual behavior in the service class would likely result in broken controller tests.

In looking at the behavior encapsulated by the code I see only a single method that shouldn't be on the repository or controller and that is the validation of the name. Would saving a category to the DB with an empty name ever be a valid condition? If not then the validation of the category should be moved to a place where this logic can be shared.

Because the logic is so simple here, I would simply place the validation logic on the model directly, but for many more advanced scenarios the logic should be encapsulated on a different object. The more advanced scenarios would then drive the creation of a Service object of some sort.

Overall good explanation of TDD, but the service object is simply unnecessary for the example.

How do you get it so a blank option will show in the list? If I put a string.Empty there it doesn't add the blank option.
