For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:46-48, NIV) |
I’m getting my hands dirty with Enterprise Library for the first time and we’re currently targeting EntLib v3.1 with Visual Studio 2008. At first I was editing the configuration files by hand, but then after reading the documentation, I found out that there’s a Configuration Tool that’s shipped with the EntLib installer. The only problem […]
The warm product was released today as a nightly build. It’s worth checking out. I’m so impatient ever since developing with C# 3.0. Some people referred me to CodeRush/Refactor Pro! but I don’t feel like learning new shortcuts all over again…Keep the faith Brian…keep the faith!
Check out this page to download ReSharper (EAP) and view […]
I’ve been using ReSharper as a complement to Visual Studio since version 2.0 of JetBrains‘ powerful refactoring and productivity tool in my .NET projects. ReSharper, which fully supports both C# and VB.NET, is not only a time-saver when applying refactoring patterns but is actually a great assistant in making you a better .NET developer. […]
With the latest release of the popular Linux-based operating system, Ubuntu Hardy Heron, the installation process just got easier for Windows users who wish to try out an alternative to Vista or XP. Even .NET developers who are looking out on trying the Mono project (the .NET platform for Linux-based operating systems) can benefit […]
As you may have experienced whenever modelling any kind of software design, it gets pretty hard to keep the model in-sync with the software as the code changes over a period of time. It’s even harder to keep both updated if you’re modelling with a different, independent application than your IDE.
Today, for the very […]
I’ve been using Launchy for almost a year now, and I’ve concluded that it is a must-have tool for any Windows users and developers. Launchy is an open source keystroke launcher for Windows. As described in the tool’s official website:
Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your […]
<update>As Eugenia pointed out, there are a few differences between the Professional Edition and the Enterprise Edition. I have included a screenshot of TeamCity’s features comparison for both editions.</update>
Great news! TeamCity 3.1 was released earlier today. I’ve been involved in setting up a continuous integration environment at the enterprise level for one of our clients […]
Here’s a great tool available for free, whether you’re starting out with LINQ for the first time, or whether you’re looking for a better way to write and test your LINQ queries. Written by Joseph Albahari, co-author of C# 3.0 In a Nutshell, LINQPad is a simple visual editor from which you can […]
If you’re a Windows user looking for a way to analyze your hard drive(s) usage statistics, you can stop looking around because WinDirStat is the tool you’re looking for. Published under the GNU General Public License (which means it’s free), this tool is so useful, that I sometimes wonder why Microsoft didn’t include it […]
For the past few months, I have been using Windows Live Writer, a desktop blog publishing application, to write and publish my posts. This free utility encouraged me to abandon the awful WYSIWYG text editor of WordPress for writing my posts. Don’t get me wrong, I love WordPress as a blogging platform, but its […]
Firefox has a built-in feature that allows you to recover any previous session in case it should crash. Internet Explorer doesn’t. Why not? I hate it when Internet Explorer hangs for some unknown reason and stupidly loses my current session including all the tabs I had previously open. Instead of restarting itself with my previous […]
JetBrains, makers of some of the best .NET development tools for Visual Studio, have released ReSharper 3.1 on this Christmas Eve. I have been using ReSharper since version 2.x came out, and I must say that it is very hard to develop without this tool. I don’t normally depend on a tool to drive my […]
