DevelopMentor Courses - Monday, October 31, 2011 - Streaming XML using LINQ to XML (continued)
Richard Blewett reminded me that the XmlReader.ReadSubtree method makes it even easier to use LINQ to XML with a streaming approach. NET LINQThe code sample below will load nodes from an arbitrary XML files and yield them to the caller as they’re read from file: static IEnumerable Load( string filename, string elementName). {. XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings(); settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true ; using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(filename, settings)). {. while (reader.ReadToFollowing(elementName)). {. // build element from subtree.

DevelopMentor Courses - Monday, October 31, 2011 - Understanding Map - Reduce
In fact you could easily rewrite this into a LINQ query like this: 1: private static IEnumerable Map(IEnumerable orders). And in fact that is all there is to a Map process, it is just a LINQ select clause. So just as with the Map process we could easily rewrite this as a LINQ group by query like this: 1: private static IEnumerable Reduce(IEnumerable input). So where the Map process is just a LINQ select the Reduce process is just a LINQ group by with the additional collection that the input type is also the output type. Simple right? Again pretty simple right?
The Problem Solver - Monday, December 3, 2012 - Screening C# Candidates: Let’s Play 20 Questions!
What keyword would you use to define an inline variable in a LINQ query? What keyword would you use to define an inline variable in a LINQ query? Over the past year I was involved in the process of interviewing candidates for both mid and senior level developer positions. We would bring them in for a face-to-face interview, sometimes with multiple interviewers, only to find out they were unable to answer the most basic technical questions concerning C# and.NET. Furthermore, I’m looking for a developer with a thirst for knowledge. This is the purpose of the technical phone screen.

DevelopMentor Courses - Wednesday, June 29, 2011 - Entity Framework - Model First: One-to-One relationship
Entity Framework LINQIf you’re doing Model First with Entity Framework you may run into a scenario where you want to design a 1-to-1 relationship, but also have a foreign key be available on your entity. The default behavior in Entity Framework when doing a 1-to-1 relationship (with Model First), or 1-to-0.1 relationship, is to create a foreign key on the 0.1 side of the association but hide the foreign key. better approach is this: Start a new model. Add the entity that goes on the 1 side of the association, give it a primary key of type integer. Add the entity that goes on the 0.1

DevelopMentor Courses - Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - Maurice de Beijer: Querying RavenDB databases
If you prefer the full LINQ syntax that is no problem as it produced exactly the same result±. If you try this you might notice one big difference from EntityFramework or in memory LINQ queries. As we have seen in previous blog posts getting data from a RavenDB database is easy. Either use the IDocumentSession.Query () function to load a series of documents or the IDocumentSession.Load () function to load a document using its identity. However sometimes we want more control over what we want to load. As with any query this is easy to correct. 1: public ActionResult Index(). 11: }.
The Problem Solver - Monday, December 17, 2012 - Simple WCF SOAP-REST Multi-Project Template
The REST client uses LINQ to XML to parse the response. Download the source code for this post. did it again: another multi-project Visual Studio template – this time for a simple WCF service that exposes both SOAP and REST endpoints. My other REST and SOAP templates are intended as a starting point for more real-world WCF services. However, what I often need is a starting point for building a “proof-of-concept” service in order to explore various configuration options and scenarios. Search for “WCF SOAP-REST” in the Online Gallery, then click Download to install the extension. Enjoy.
