I wrote about the xsd.exe tool before to generate XSD from XML:
But it is much more than that, as it is a great way of generating .NET (not only C# and VB.NET code) from XSD files:
Long ago, xsd.exe used to come as part of Visual Studio, but now it is installed with the various Microsoft Windows SDK versions (of which some are downloadable) which makes it harder to locate on your system.
The really bad thing is that Visual Studio cannot find XSD.exe as part of your project Build Events, as the PATH has not been set up correctly.
Starting xsd.exe from a Visual Studio Build Events
In my hunt for the xsd.exe location, I started with a small batch file to find the xsd.exe locations from the registry:

Often I want to execute a TF.exe from the console, but don’t have the Visual Studio environment variables setup. Most of the times I want to run TF.exe from the most current Visual Studio installation, hence this TF.bat file figures out the location of it, then runs with the parameters passed to TF.bat: Read the rest of this entry »

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.

I’m going to experiment with this. Most likely the quality of the code samples will be the biggest factor in like/dislike result.
Visual Studio – Google+.

Next time I run into .NET and native threading issues:
Main UI threads often have a correlation between managed and native thread IDs.
But for other threads, you cannot be really sure.
Some background articles on this:

IlMerge is a great way to merge multiple .NET assemblies into one, and I use it most often to combine assemblies with console applications so I end up with one executable..
However getting the latest version always was a hassle as the ilmerge download link was unclear about the version number.
Until I found out that IlMerge is on NuGet.
To get started with NuGet, either download the NuGet GUI or command-line version, then use either of these entry points to work with NuGet packages:
There is much more to the Package Manager Console and the Package Manager Dialog.

Thanks to the answers for .net – What is a dependency property? – Stack Overflow, I came across this really nice WPF Tutorial | Dependency Properties.
It has one of the best explanations on Dependency Properties I’ve ever seen, and it is available online for free (:
And yes, this post is also tagged Delphi, as DSharp provides http://delphisorcery.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Source/Core/DSharp.Core.DependencyProperty.pas.
So Dependency Properties are not just .NET any more (:

I missed EKON 16 as both they and we moved outside the regular conference season.
So I missed this session: EKON 16: MSBuild // Speaker Deck that has these GitHub source examples: gingters/EKON16_MSBuild.
Thanks Sebastian Gingter for pointing me at this!
msbuild is used by both Visual Studio and Delphi for building projects, and this session gave me some good ideas to improve the Continuous Integration projects I already had into place.
