The standard .NET queue classes are not thread-safe so require additional locking to avoid errors when used in multithreaded or parallel scenarios. This additional complexity is not required with the generic ConcurrentQueue class.

The Outercurve Foundation has provided a summary (with links to presentations) of its recent open source software conference keynotes. Some of the speakers included Jono Bacon, Scott Guthrie, Ross Gardler, Donnie Berkholz and Kohsuke Kawaguchi. They spoke on topics ranging from Windows installation packages to community management, identifying destructive developers who ruin communities, project governance, patterns and practices that successful growing open source projects demonstrate, and how to wrestle with project growth and success.

In early January of this year I was implementing some JavaScript code that does a lot of processing on the client side with the help of jQuery. It’s part of a project where my customer asked for the possibility of answering a questionnaire in two ways: using a Wizard (one question at a time) and Listing (all questions at once) in a single form. The client side code for the Listing was the culprit and is the subject of this post.

As I was asked to write a post with simple Insert/Update/Delete screens using the same technology from my previous post here is what I came with. The idea was to make this CRUD screens as a single page interface so the only interactions with the server would be to save stuff to the database...

How to hook up domain events to concrete implementations using Ninject as an IoC container and the ASP.Net Web API.

Whenever a request is received by MVC, it is the job of the routing engine to match the request URL with the registered routes. After finding the matched route, the route handler for the route is being called. Each route can have its own route handler. A route handler is a class that implements IRouteHandler interface.

In ASP.NET it is easy to call a server-side function on a user control during post back. However, you have to do some custom code if you want to call a JavaScript function that resides inside of a user control without performing a postback.

Sometime ago, September of 2012, Scott Hanselman blogged about a cool new library written for ASP.NET WebForms called ASP.NET Friendly URLs. The ASP.NET Friendly URLs library makes it easy to enable extensionless URLs for file-based handlers (e.g. ASPX, ASHX) in ASP.NET applications.  The library itself is very cool. In a nutshell, you, with two lines of code, can have extensionless URLs in ASP.NET web forms and have different pages served up for mobile devices.  Scott Hanselman’s blog post covers all of the details on features and implementation. I wanted to show you a problem that I had with using the library, namely the ViewSwitcher control, with jQuery Mobile.

We are happy to announce the release of Aspose.Tasks for .NET 5.4.0. With this month’s release, Aspose.Tasks for .NET now supports loading Microsoft Project Template (MPT) files which enable users to create project from constructor using template as parameter. Now Project’s constructor can be used to create project from templates and read existing projects as well, avoiding usage of ProjectReader. In this month’s release, we have added enhancements to the Gantt chart rendering by providing the option to roll up Gantt bars that marks any summary task in the project by its visible subtasks. In addition, we have also provided the facility to avoid marking non-working time on Gantt chart. The rendering process has also been enhanced to allow printing/hiding of legends on each page. We have also added additional task constraints in this month’s release which include StartNoEarlierThan, FinishNoEarlierThan, MustStartOn, and MustFinishOn task constraints. Loading Microsoft. This month’s release also includes a number of bug fixes related to XML output, where unnecessary data was present as compared to the output by MSP, identifying external tasks, incorrect duration while rendering Gantt chart, and custom fields.

There is a big problem in the RavenDB build process. To be rather more exact, there is a… long problem in the RavenDB build process.

Happy Eliza Doolittle day all; today seems like an appropriate day for careful elocution of technical jargon. So today, yet another question about "scope". As one of the more over-used jargon terms in programming languages, I get a lot of questions about it.

Constantly over the past few years I’ve thanked my lucky stars that I’ve had continuous integration and deployment setup for the web sites I’ve been working on. I feel incredibly strongly about the benefits that having a good Continuous Integration and Deployment story can bring to a project and it’s team. Sadly, not everyone has been able to experience the awesome sauce of CI/CD. I’ve been working hard to change that.

In this article, Ill take a look at whats new and improved in the Web Forms model. In future columns, Ill address the Dynamic Data control platform as a whole and explore in-depth the developments in the ASP.NET AJAX environment

In this post, I have explained how DataTable from C# is passed to a stored procedure in Sql Server.

In Indian classical music, we have Jugalbandi, where two lead musicians or vocalist engage in a playful competition. Lets say there is jugalbandi between Flutist and a Percussionist (say using Tabla as the instrument). Compositions rendered by flutist will be heard by the percussionist and will replay the same notes, but now on Tabla and vice-versa is also possible. On a similar metaphor, I am proposing the idea of Code Jugalbandi, but now across multiple languages (not just two) and see how the same code is rendered using different languages.

In the first part of the MVVM using caliburn micro with WPF we saw how to write the bootstrapper to setup everything for the caliburn micro library. Now in this part we’ll see how to start creating new pages in the application and how the binding and events are being defined using this small library project with power of MVVM.

RavenDB is a scalable, schema-free, NoSQL Document-oriented Database, designed to address requirements coming from real-world systems. In this talk, we will discuss how RavenDB takes a lot of the pain of creating OLTP applications away, we will discover features that are meant to streamline development and optimize production usage. RavenDB 2.1 new features will be featured prominently, so even if you know RavenDB, watch out for the new cool stuff.

The .NET Framework makes it easy to reverse engineer an existing application. Discover what techniques to use to deter prying eyes from deconstructing your code.

As I’ve already mentioned last weekend I took part in AngelHack and took the opportunity to learn how to develop for an Android device (in this case a Kindle Fire) using C# and Xamarin Studio. The experience was a bit mixed, overall I think the folks at Xamarin have done a good job in smoothing the experience when targeting mobile devices, but there’s still a few rough edges. Here’s a run though of what I thought:

If you are using ASP.NET, especially if you are using ASP.NET MVC, you need to be using Glimpse. I’m currently working on a more exhaustive Pluralsight course on Glimpse, but I thought I’d write up a quick getting started tutorial here.

With the introduction of the ASP.NET Web API in ASP.NET 4.5, it is now possible to add advanced client-side functionality to existing sites

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 3.2.0.This version will allow you to resize the shape height and width. The connector line automatically adjusts when the shape is moved to a different position. Changing height and width of the shape is enhanced. During VSD to PNG conversion, shapes and rectangles missing with .NET Framework 3.5.0 is now fixed and Aspose.Diagram now allows the connectors to move around the child shape when it is moved.
