We just spent far too long on what turned out to be a stupid problem ... we kept getting an error telling us that the view did not inherit from System.Web.UI.Page ... unfortunately the guy who was working on the particular view and controller could not think of a specific change he had made to cause...

Part 0 Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Part 0 Part 1 Part 2 Application Architecture I'm going to back up a bit discuss my overall approach to structuring this WPF project. So far the solution consists of four projects: ChumChase is the actual WPF project. FriendFeed is the official .NET api I downloaded from here , and patched so that...

Part 0 Part 1 So let's get back to this whole building a WPF application thing. A number of things went down since my last post: I was out sick with a stomach bug for few days, my infant son caught the same bug and subsequently we spent a few days in the hospital (he's fine now, it was nothing...

I actually meant to say in my last post that I had investigated the API options for FriendFeed and they have a C# wrapper already available here . It's packaged up in a single download with its Python and PHP counterparts. Unfortunately, it has compilation errors. I fixed the errors and then I let...

This is a somewhat made-up scenario based on a recent project. My client has not given me permission to discuss the specifics of the application (yet), so I apologize for keeping it vague. I hope you don't give up before the payoff. The Problem Imagine an application, where a user can create "styles"...

A discussion on the altdotnet list just came up around logging. After some various suggestions, I asked what was wrong with using optional dependencies and the built in logging facility in Castle Windsor . It seemed the most obvious answer Of course, I completely forgot that when I first tried to figure...

Oren always amazes me - I think he is psychic! Whenever I have a problem, I almost always find Oren blogged about it a few days before - and today's bugbear is a perfect example. I started the day off with a really weird timeout exception in WCF. The code was just fine apparently, and I spent a very...

Update: Re-published from old blog I found a need yesterday to test some code in particular security contexts. After some (as always) prompt guidance from the altdotnet mailing list, I had the (as it turns out) all too simple solution. xUnit includes an attribute for this, but as I'm using NUnit...

Update: Re-published from old blog I've done it before, but my mind went totally blank yesterday ... due to some typically quick responses from the Castle Users Google Group ... here is the code to do it for future generations to avoid my same silly mistakes ... 1: WindsorContainer container = new...
