My favorite NHibernate exception

We have a rather large, connected domain model, so we use quite a bit of lazy loading to deal with the richness all these connections provide. The one thing I would have liked C# to get from Java is “virtual by default”, if only for one selfish...

The WebForms stalwarts

One sentence I’d never thought I’d see describing WebForms is: It was perfect, and it’s acceptance was meteoric ! That’s from the VisiCalc-WebForms comparison of Joe Stagner. Obviously no framework is perfect, but I wouldn’t attribute its acceptance...

Late-Bound Invocations with DynamicMethod

When I was looking at improving AutoMapper performance, I initially focused on just the “getter” side of the mapping equation. At its core, you map between types by getting a value from one member and setting it on the other. I was already...

Analyzing AutoMapper performance

One of the last things I wanted to look at AutoMapper before pushing it out to production was to get some idea of how it performed. One of the more difficult things in doing this is trying to come up with a good idea of what exactly I should measure...
