blogg When the Test Agent Fails on the Build Server

2012-02-16 av ericqu
When I set up a continues integration build on our new build-server, I got “The agent process was stopped while the test was running.” when the test ran. This is not a very helpful error message and the troubleshooting is hard when all test succeeds locally. Fortunately I have the possibility to re...

blogg How to Force Comments When Doing Check-In in TFS

2012-02-08 av johan
I was looking for a policy like this, and found this blog article by Claus Konrad: http://blog.clauskonrad.net/2010/08/tfs-2010-how-to-force-comments-when.html Now, unfortunately everyone in the project has to have the TFS Power Tools installed to make this work. The power tools can be d...

blogg MSTest and Calling Exe with Sample Data Files

2012-02-07 av johan
For various reasons I’m using MSTest for my unit tests and I have this console app which generates a PDF file from an XML file that needed some tests. So, when moving the unit tests over to a TFS build server, having hard coded paths to test data files is not a good idea. The recommended way of ...

blogg Information and Events are Stable Parts of Business

2012-01-13 av ericqu
At IRM we often use this picture to talk about the stable parts of the business. Actually we have used it at least during the eight years I‘ve been working here. The least stable part is the organisation itself. Many of us have been affected by organisational changes during the last year ...

blogg Deploying ClickOnce to Multiple Environments

2011-09-14 av ericqu
So in my struggling to get a lean and effective way to roll out new versions of an application for two of my clients, I have some more to share with you. I want it to be extremely easy for me to create a new ClickOnce installer for my clients and I have identified three things that I need to solve:...

blogg MiniBuss Updates

2011-09-01 av johan
I made a small update to MiniBuss , the micro service bus framework. The messages you send, Commands and Events, are no longer dependent on IMessage . The messages sent on the bus can now be any .NET class which can be safely serialized. The MiniBuss package on NuGet has been updated (vers...

blogg ClickOnce to the Rescue

2011-08-23 av ericqu
I have two clients who are outsourcing their PCs and servers and one consequence of that is from now on it will take 3 weeks (plus additional costs) to get a MSI delivered to the clients. This way to far from our fast deliveries that we have today, so I recommended them that we should move on to Cl...

blogg A One File .NET Micro Service Bus for MSMQ?

2011-08-19 av johan
This last year our company has invested quite some time in looking at CQRS, which led to looking at great looking service-buses like nServiceBus , Rhino Service Bus and Mass Transit , which led me to do some bus-coding on my own, mostly for fun and for learning MSMQ. Inspired by the service ...

blogg Pomodoro Timer for the Windows 7 TaskBar

2011-08-16 av johan
EDIT:  The code is now open source on codeplex, on http://pomodorotaskbar.codeplex.com There's a new version available for download there too. If you’re into the Pomodoro technique and looking for a pretty simple out-of-the-way timer which sits in the Windows 7 taskbar and is contr...

blogg Create Tag-Cloud from RSS Feed in ASP.NET MVC

2011-08-08 av johan
Say you want to generate your own tag-cloud from a list of categories or tags you pull from an RSS-feed or similar. This is one way to do it. I’m using ASP.NET MVC for this sample which creates a simple tag-cloud in a Razor-view with HTML looking something like this: The controller-code t...

blogg Hosting Rhino Service Bus in IIS

2011-06-19 av ericqu
This is my third post ( part 1 , part 2 ) with notes from my exploration of Rhino Service Bus and in this I will focus on how to set everything up for Pub/Sub when having IIS as a host. The first thing that must be done is to choose a strategy for where to do the initialization of the bus and othe...

blogg Consuming Events in the Same Process as the Publisher with Rhino Service Bus

2011-06-19 av ericqu
I recently blogged about getting started with Rhino Service Bus for publishing and subscribing to events. If you did not read that post, I recommend you to do that before continuing since I will just outline my modifications in this post. My scenario is that I want to decouple things that happ...

blogg Getting Started with Pub/Sub using Rhino Service Bus

2011-06-18 av ericqu
I have a project where I want to start publishing events on the server and then have a consumer subscribing to these events and take action. First I took a quick look at nServiceBus , but I also thought that it would be interesting to see what else exists on the .NET platform. I found both Mass T...

blogg Never, never, never do Office interop on the server

2011-05-15 av johan
I’ve been telling people this for years and years, and still I stepped right into the mudhole a month ago. I blame stress, but still I shouldn’t have. It’s so easy to just add the interop assemblies and off you go… until you try running your stuff on the 2008 r2 server, hosted somewhere else, with ...

blogg Refactored Dapper Extensions

2011-05-11 av johan
Making extensions for Dapper-dot-net was so fun and I needed a few more simple ones so I refactored a bit and made a few Update() and Delete() extensions as well. I’m also looking for Id-properties with the [Key] attribute on them. The class grew a bit, but it now supports the functions below. No...

blogg Simple Insert Extension for Dapper

2011-05-10 av johan
Last week I started using Dapper ( dapper-dot-net on Google Code ) for a project I’m working on. Dapper is a micro ORM, which extends IDbConnection. It’s very fast and works very well for queries where you want to return both typed and dynamic lists of objects. Have a quick look at the webpage and ...

blogg Detecting Idle Time with Global Mouse and Keyboard Hooks in WPF

2011-03-19 av johan
Years and years ago I wrote this blog post about detecting if the user was idle or active at the keyboard (and mouse) using a global hook. Well that code was for .NET 2.0 and Windows Forms and for some reason I wanted to try the same in WPF and noticed that a few things around the keyboard and mo...

blogg Learning about CQRS and Event Sourcing

2011-03-06 av ericqu
In my struggle to use Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in better ways to get more value out of it and not ending up with anemic models , I began reading about Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing. These are two patterns that fit very well with DDD and two of the most infl...

blogg The Small Things: Asynchronous WCF Calls Without Setting Up Service Reference

2011-01-29 av ericqu
When you are developing both the service and the client it can many times be good to not use the “Add Service Reference” in Visual Studio. Instead the service and data contracts can be defined in a shared class library. There can be many reasons for this, on popping up immediately is that such a so...

blogg Windows Phone 7: First Impressions

2011-01-11 av ericqu
Disclaimer: I’m still on parental leave so I have not used the phone in my daily work yet. Also worth noting when reading is that I’m a developer on the Microsoft platform, but I‘ve used iPhone 3GS for the last 1,5 year, I have an iPad. Before the iPhone I’ve used Windows Mobile for several years, ...

blogg Getting Started with Media Center Development in Visual Studio 2010

2010-12-07 av ericqu
I got an idea for an Windows Media Center (MCE) application (add-in) that I wanted to try out if I could get it working. First step was to learn how to develop something for Media Center. I found this to be harder than I thought it would be, partly because I have chosen to not install Visual S...

blogg The Small Things: Converting a Existing Web Application to a MVC Web Application

2010-11-24 av ericqu
I have an existing web application that contains a couple of WCF services, but today I also wanted to add some pages and decided that I wanted to create them with ASP.NET MVC2. This is the steps I took to get the MVC pages to run just fine in my existing application. First of all I added ref...
