  • Running your build/source code from a ram disk.

      As a test I wanted to run a build from a drive in ram rather than on a physical disk drive using the old Dos style Ram disk. For a trivial build that includes compilation, Asp.net compilation, database updates, unit test, and integration tests. I saw the build time decrease by 41%. That is pretty...

  • Project anti-pattern: Many projects in a Visual Studio Solution File

    I've been hearing from several colleagues about how their Visual Studio solution files have many (i.e. more than 10, and usually more than 30 -- in one case, more than 100!). So far, none of them have been able to give me any good explanation for why this is and most of them hate it but they can't...

  • Exploring ShadeTree Features, Part 2: Cache<KEY, VALUE>

    Or, as I like to call it: "That stupid dictionary thing we've all written a thousand times but were too lazy to component-ize for reuse" How many times have you written code like this in your C# 2.0-and-later life? Foo foo = null; if( fooCache.TryGetValue(key, out foo)) { foo = new Foo...

  • Example of Removing Some Pain: Grid Fluent API

    So on a previous project, we were making use a 3rd party WinForms UberGrid which, of course has a monstrous designer that spits out tons of code into your InitializeComponent() method in your .designer file. I think you know what I'm talking about, but for those who wish to experience it in all its...

  • The Problem Preventer

    Problem Statement I'm thinking about putting ' Problem Preventer ' on my resume. Many of the folks I'm talking with in interviews and phone screens don't seem to get this at all. I get a lot of questions about problems solved, etc. I have some good stories and the calls usually go...

  • Engaging Microsoft

    Many Microsoft employees were at the ALT.NET conf in Seattle -- including many of the ones that have been criticized publicly by the greater ALT.NET community.

  • Dear JetBrains, RE: Resharper 4 EAP Nightlies

    Dear JetBrains, Thank you for putting it all on the line and having the stones to do public nightly builds as part of your ReSharper 4.0 EAP.
