Imagine we are awhile into the future. How do you get open source releases down to your project so that you can use them? How do you get the products down to your computer so that you can use them? Is it easier or harder than the way we’ve always done it before? The Past and Present Before we can go...

Day eight* of the port and I was so happy not to discover any new issues. At this point I have almost all the major UI pieces in place. You can now see what you would normally during typical profiler usage. There’s still a lot of work to be done…probably much more than has been done so far...

Today I worked on statements. They flow pretty naturally out of the sessions functionality. I still have a lot of work ahead of me, so fortunately I only found two new issues today. I was able to rework Xaml in both cases fairly easily. Binding in it’s Element form is not allowed. Fortunately,...

I started working on the most complicated part of the UI: Sessions. There are a lot of different view models and views related to this part. Fortunately, by now, I think I have found most of the issues. But I’m still encountering a few new issues here on day six. Below is the customary screenshot...

Well, I’m pleased to say that on Wednesday I only encountered one new* issue during the port. ListBox does not support grouping. One neat thing in WPF is that all the items controls supported grouping. One of the reports we had was a set of master/details grids where the master was a grouped ListBox...

On Tuesday I spent a decent amount of time fleshing out the last remaining features under the Options menu. I then did some general reorganization to the project structure. Along with the port to Silverlight, I’ve been upgrading the application to use Caliburn 2.0 which is working out exceedingly...

On Monday I spent a good four hours working on the port. I decided to flesh out the functionality of the Main Menu. As I mentioned before , none of the menu controls available support commanding. Fortunately, Caliburn has its own mechanism which is much richer than what you get out of the box anyways...

Friday I only had a few hours to work on the port. I thought I might look into what it would take to add the main menu. It’s an important part of the shell that I completely skipped in my first pass. Unfortunately, there aren’t really any free or open source menu controls that I could find...

This is a true story. It’s a story about porting a non-trivial WPF application, NHProf , to Silverlight 4. The story begins today with my first actual work on the porting process. Microsoft has been preaching how easy it is to move between these platforms. Are they telling the truth? I’ll...

Have you ever noticed that out of the box NHibernate’s DateTime type will truncate/ignore your milliseconds for DateTime fields? If you do not believe me check out this post . If you think about why it does this it will become clear, NHibernate runs against MANY databases and each one of them stores...

Just before I emigrated to Australia, I took on a small contract to build a website for a UK company who wanted to start up a new kind of UK recruitment site, one where employers could advertise directly, and more specifically one where recruitment agencies couldn’t. The result was Empty Lemon...

I was trying to profile some NHibernate sql to see if we could make some improvements. One thing I noticed very shortly after starting this task was that one of my columns was being duplicated. Now this is NOT going to make a huge performance difference but was something I wanted to...

When you are setting up your NHibernate mappings you must pay close attention to the way you setup your relationships between your entities. Recently I started profiling some of our statements and was shocked to see how some of them had a metric-crap ton of joins when they only needed one or two...

Today as I was creating a new NHibernate Criteria statement everything was working fine UNTIL I added the where clause. At this point I started to get the following exception (which was seen via NHibernate Profier ). WARN: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The multi-part identifier "doc2_...

I’m a big fan of Linq. The more I learn about functional programming, the more I love (and use) Linq. However with any higher level abstraction there is the possibility of the mysterious inner workings differing from your intuitive expectations. (This one of the dangers of frameworks being ‘too helpful...
