IoC Generic Container Interface

2013-08-25T00:35:00.000+01:00

A generic interface that can be implemented for different IoC containers. By using the interface switching between container implementations would be easy, particularly helpfull when testing the use of a container.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace IoC
{
    public interface IIoCGenericContainer
    {
        object Resolve(Type t);

        T Resolve<T>();

        T TryResolve<T>();

        IEnumerable<object> ResolveAll(Type t);

        IEnumerable<T> ResolveAll<T>();

        void RegisterType<T>();

        void RegisterType<T>(bool singleton);

Using NuGet with a central repository

2012-02-15T16:51:00.001+00:00

It may be suited to your development process to use a central repository where all the NuGet packages you use in different projects are kept. That way you don’t have various packages scattered around in your pc or if you archive references you can keep doing so or if you don’t have internet connection you can still use existing packages from the central repository.

Search trip from IDisposable to RDL

I opened the codeproject’s newsletter I am subscribed and picked a few articles. I picked those that were relevant to the things I am interested more, I have worked in the past or relate to an idea that I am working on it. At first I read this article about IDisposable because an article about IDisposable is always interesting. It presents the right way to use this interface or at least it attempts to.

A T4 Generator Tool for VS Express

2010-05-20T17:00:00.001+01:00

T4 stands for Text Templating Transformation Toolkit which is a transformation engine built into all VS studio editions. In a few words, you can write a text template file which consists of plain text and source code wrapped around the T4 language notation. The T4 notation is similar to the ASP.NET design page source code. You indicate directives by using <#@ tags, statements with <# tags, and expressions with <#= tags. Below is a simple T4 template.

<#@ template debug="true" language="C#v3.5"#>
<#@ Import Namespace="System.Linq" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="System.Core,Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" #>
<#@ output extension=".cs" #>
<# WriteLine(@"Hello World");#>

Reverse Engineer a Web Service from the existing WSDL

2010-04-18T19:28:00.000+01:00

Sometimes you need to create the web service methods and you only have the web service description file(wsdl) as a staring point. You can utilise the wsdl.exe tool to generate the web service's server stub methods. This file exists in Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\ if you have the VS express edition installed or somewhere in the VS installation folders if you have other editions. Just by running :
