MVVM Mediator Deluxe
From what I’ve been reading on the implementations of the Mediator pattern for MVVM, I must say I’m a little disappointed. Maybe it’s my background with a certain UI design methodology (for which I must credit Philip Almey , a former colleague) for the...
DLinq - First Impression
I thought I'd just have my say about this as these gentlemen already have [ PeeWeeWilson & Fouma ]. After having read the overview paper (rather diagonal I might add) I can't help but notice the three-way mapping is gone (domain schema <-> mapping...
Computing on demand
An interface I find very useful lately is IComputeOnDemand (although it is highly debatable if it should be an interface at all): /// <summary> /// Behavior for things that can be computed on demand. /// </summary> public interface IComputeOnDemand...

Collection classes and behavior
Lately I've come up with a technique to implement custom finders/queries/filters on my collection classes. Instead of implementing these finders/queries/filters directly in the collection class itself, which gets in the way of generating these types of...
SCC in Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2002/2003: The good, the bad and the ugly
GrantRi inquires about what type of SCC the hobbyist programmer uses. I was going to write a comment, but decided to rant about what has been annoying me with SCC in VS.NET 2K2/3. There are several reasons not to use the standard scc integration. For...
