Peter Cosemans, who is one of my colleagues, found a nice way to integrate ELMAH for a WCF service. ELMAH is an error logging facility for logging unhandled exceptions particularly focused on ASP.NET web applications. There are plenty of sources out there, like this blog post by Scott Hanselman, that describe how to get ELMAH [...]
So after reading this blog post by Rob Conery about Reporting In NoSQL where he explains very well what the problem is when using a RDBMS for persisting the state of your domain, or really anything that is written with Object Orientation in mind.
His solution to the problem is to use a object database or [...]
I have noticed with myself (actually I know this for a very long time now already) that I am much more productive in the evenings then I am at the end of a working day. I also just finished reading Programming is all Design by Joakim Holman, Why Design Cannot be Billed by the Hour [...]
I’ve taken a lot of heat, here at home, since the man cave post. Although I have my geek’s permission and full support to write about his, um, idiosyncrasies, , it appears that the sharing of the feelings for the Dave Cave was too much.
What upset him the most, however, was the fact that I [...]
As I already mentioned in a previous blog post, I’m kind of (re-)learning HTML and CSS. The best way for me to pick things up again is by getting my hands dirty and work myself through a simple example. So I decided to work on some sort of prototype of a web application without using [...]
When you create an entity model, a few mapping files are created for you; namely .cdsl, .ssdl, and .msl. Right about now you may be saying to yourself, I don’t see those files anywhere. That is because they are actually stored as a resource in the assembly you created your entity model. When you create [...]
{… Removed big long story about how I ended up writing this post which provides no value to the blog…}
Summary of big long story to at least give a little context as to why (yet another post on optional parameters):
I threw an idea out to the Moq discussion group of how we could use the [...]
One of my favorite ways to grow is to learn in a group. There are lots of synergies to be gained by bouncing ideas back and forth. It also makes learning much more fun.
Something that has work very well for me is a brown bag learning session. You can start this in your own workplace.

A typical way for invoking a non-public method of a class is by using reflection. This can come in handy in a number of cases. One typical scenario that comes to mind is when the designers of the .NET Framework or another 3rd party framework decided to bury a class or a method as internal [...]
If you’ve been using CSS for a while, then this post will probably teach you nothing new. I just wanted to state the obvious even if I’m the only one who benefits from it.
While I was (re-)learning CSS, I came across these two properties called margin and padding. At first, they seem to be doing [...]
