Embarcadero has made available the replays of the CodeRage 4 sessions.
You can find them in the CodeRage 4 sessions overview.
In order to download them from that overview, NOTE: To access this session replay, you must be logged into EDN. you can login or sign-up (which is free).
To make it easier to find all the relevant downloads, below is an overview of my sessions and their links.
Let me know what you use it for, I’m always interested!
Update 20090918: changed the download locations because CodeCentral messed up.

I just found out that in my updates to TFS 2008 Folder Comparison Filter for both C# and Delphi projects somehow some backslashes (\) were missing.
Oops, sorry :-)
These backslashes are important when excluding directories: if omitted, TFS thinks you want to exclude a filename in stead of a directory name (see Folder Comparison Filters).
It might be due to the HTML pasting issue that I explained in Including formatted sourcecode in WordPress.
Anyway, here is the correct one that has the backslashes at the right places:
!*.pdb;!*.obj;!*.dll;!*.exe;!*.res;!*.resources;!*.cache;!*.ilk;!*.ncb;!obj\;!objd\;!bin\;!lib\;!*.local;!*.identcache;!*.dcu;!__history\;!*.dsk;!*.~*;!*.stat;!*.drc;!*.map;!*.csproj.user;!*.vbproj.user;!*.csproj.webinfo;!*.vbproj.webinfo;!*.suo;!*.bpl;!*.dcp;!*.log;!*.lck
(Note these all should be on one line when pasting them).

Somehow, at every client I need a function like GetExecutablePath.
Maybe you do too, so here is the code that I adapted a long time ago from the Delphi 2006 RTL:
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;
namespace bo.Reflection
{
public class AssemblyHelper
{
public static string GetExecutablePath()
{
// borrowed from D2006\source\dotNet\rtl\Borland.Delphi.System.pas function ParamStr():
string result;
Assembly entryAssembly = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();
if (null != entryAssembly)
{
result = entryAssembly.Location;
}
else
{
Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
ProcessModule mainModule = currentProcess.MainModule;
result = mainModule.FileName;
}
return result;
}
}
}
Enjoy :-)

Last week I spoke at the GeekNight of the Dutch Microsoft DevDays 2009.
A great conference, signalling two important industry wide trends:
- Cloud computing
- Natural user interfaces
There were many interesting presentations on both, and we are only at the beginning of those trends: interesting times are ahead!
My presentation (.NET & hardware – capture video & control servos, in a fun application) was as a GeekNight session.
That imposed geeky stuff, but in addition it addressed an important point: there will be many more means of interaction.
In particular, my ‘geek’ combination of hardware and software would react on movements seen by the webcam by pointing the beam of the laserpointer towards the largest area that moved.
After that I enjoyed the long Pentecost weekend (yes, the monday after Pentecost is a Holiday in the Netherlands, so most people have a day off then).
Today I updated my Conferences, seminars and other public appearances page with my DevDays materials to download.
It contains both the sourcecode, and the presentation in English.
Enjoy the download :-)

I have edited the Conferences, seminars and other public appearances/ page and extended the list of conferences I have attended in the past including many sessions.
Topics covered in these sessions have been C#, Delphi, Databases, Linux, Kylix, debugging, Compact Framework, and much much more.
Let me know which sessions you’d like to see online first.
The list is far from complete, but it is another step into getting the list more accurate.

Masoud Kamali just notified that 2 of my sessions got accepted for the German BASTA! 2009 – .NET Everywhere! conference that is being held from September 21 til 25 in the Rheingoldhalle (which is in Mainz right in between the river Rhine and the city centre).
These are the sessions I’m going to do:
- WPF multi-media: smart client with audio, photos and video
- .NET gems – small pieces of code that make your day
It’s gonna be fun!

I like enums. Maybe because of my Turbo Pascal and Delphi background. They are descriptive. Makes code easier to read.
public enum TrafficLightColors
{
Red,
Yellow,
Green
}
But using them in C# foreach loops is a bit of a pain, not so much in the loop itself, but more in getting the list of values to loop over.
