The Performance Considerations of Class Design and General Coding in .NET – CodeProject article is a big peek into the content of the book Writing High-Performance .NET Code | Get the best performance out of your .NET code.
Both are highly recommended.

Inversion of Control example video on YouTube: business class is not in control of the DAL.
It uses C#, but the code is so simple that every programmer should be able to get it.
Uses:
Inversion of Control (IoC) can later be amended by Dependency Injection (DI), but IoC can easily without that be used very effectively without DI.
I wish the What is…? series had more than 1 episode, but Christian Richards does have some interesting series about game development.

A long and shorter while ago, I wrote about practicing your coding and test driven development skills:
Here are some Coding Kata videos of the Bowling Game Kata in various languages and environments. Some of them are dumb (no audio) just like good practice usually is. Note: it helps to know a bit about 10 Pin Bowling Scoring rules.
And since I want to learn Haskell and have done a lot of Tic-Tac-Toe demos inthe past:

During any software life cycle, you will want to phase out some code, and most likely want to mark code to be phased out in the future.
So here are two examples on how to do that in C# and in Delphi that just shows the effects of obsoleting/deprecating code.

Once every while you still do WinForms work, and bump into something you hadn’t bumped into before.
This time it was trying to set ForeColor = Color.Red on a ReadOnly TextBox for displaying error messages:
When setting a TextBox from ReadOnly = false to true sets the BackColor from SystemColors.Window (usually white) to SystemColors.Control (usually light grey), and leaves the ForeColor to SystemColors.WindowText (usually black).
Setting ForeColor = Color.Red (funny there is a plural in SystemColors but not in Color) it doesn’t display it as such:
To my surprise, the TextBox had ReadOnly text (you could copy, but not modify it), which showed with a a grey (SystemColors.Control) BackColor and a black (SystemColors.WindowText) ForeColor: the defaults for a ReadOnly TextBox, not using my ForeColor = Color.Red;
I vaguely remembered there was some odd way of solving this, but since I hadn’t written a blog article about it back then (somewhere around .NET 1.x or 2.0 I didn’t have a blog yet), I was glad that Cheetah posted this answer on StackOverflow: Read the rest of this entry »

Two ways to do a case insensitive string replace without using RegEx (which often is not a solution).
Thanks User Tim Schmelter for pointing me at those.

Normally you would not want to use a reserved word as an identifier. But sometimes it can be very convenient, for instance for a code generator that wraps remoting calls or does ORM.
Both Delphi and C# have an escape for this:
The prefixes are to tell the compiler knows you really know what you are doing, and are using a reserved word as an identifier.
The cool thing: in the Run Time Type Information (Delphi) or Reflection (C# and VB.NET) you will see the names without the prefix.

Bosak posted an interesting piece of code on StackOverflow last year. His particular code was in C#, but it does not matter what kind of compiler you use:
Sometimes a compiler will complain about unreachable code, for instance when it thinks a function never returns a value.
But you know the program logic does.
Simple solution: When you have code that never should be reached: throw an appropriate exception.
public static int GetInt(int number)
{
int[] ints = new int[]{ 3, 7, 9, int.MaxValue };
foreach (int i in ints)
if (number <= i)
return i;
return int.MaxValue; //this should be unreachable code since the last int is int.MaxValue and number <= int.MaxValue is allways true so the above code will allways return
}
The last return could be replaced like this, as proposed by Matt Houser: Read the rest of this entry »

Boy, was this Visual Studio .NET 2003 stuff a long time ago.
Bumped into this one:
---------------------------
Microsoft Development Environment
---------------------------
Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target 'C:\develop\VS-2003\VS-2003-BASE\Source\AppTest\bin\Debug\AppTest.exe' is missing. Please build the project and retry.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Indeed, Visual Studio was right: it didn’t understand the Release build existed like Visual Studio 2005 and up does:
C:\develop\VS-2003\VS-2003-BASE\Source\AppTest\obj\Release\AppTest.exe
