Es gibt gleich zwei neue Alben von der zweiten Jahreshälfte 2011: 2011 Team Weekend in Sirot und Networking Event 2011 Nr.2.

In letzter Zeit hatten wir von der Encodo vermehrt Berührungen mit Mono, da eines der Projekte heterogen mit Windows- und Linux-Hardware (ARM Prozessorarchitektur) operiert. Wir nehmen dies zum Anlass um den aktuellen Stand von Mono zu “protokollieren”.

In dem Projekt hat es sowohl C#-Services (Konsolen- und Service-Apps) wie auch Webanwendungen. Eine dieser Webanwendung muss sowohl auf Windows (.Net 4) wie auch auf Open-Embedded-Linux (Mono) laufen.

Da wir für die .Net-Webentwicklung von... [More]

Encodo ist stolz das Encodo Git Handbuch (en) zu präsentieren, welches als Teil unserer Migration von Perforce nach Git geschrieben wurde. Falls Sie an eine Migration zu Git denken — oder diese bereits durchgeführt haben — sollten Sie einen Blick darauf riskieren.

Encodo is proud to present the Encodo Git Handbook, which we wrote as part of our migration to Git from Perforce. If you’re thinking of moving to Git—and even if you’ve already moved—you should definitely check it out.

The GenericObject in Quino had recently undergone a performance overhaul, as documented in the article, Improving performance in GenericObject…but we weren’t finished yet.

I’m going to assume that you read the overview on “How Data Objects are Implemented” and understand what the GenericObject actually is. In the other article, we optimized performance when creating objects in-memory and when loading and setting values. Those optimizations were driven by an application that used Quino data... [More]

Quino is Encodo’s metadata framework, written in C#/.NET 4.0. Since its inception four years ago, we’ve used it in several products and the code base has been updated continuously.

However, it was only in a recent product that one of the central features of the framework came under scrutiny for performance issues. It turned out that reading and writing to Quino data objects was a bit slower than we needed it to be.

“I’m currently revising the Encodo C# Handbook to update it for the last year’s worth of programming experience at Encodo, which includes a lot more experience with C# 4.0 features like optional parameters, dynamic types and more. The following is an expanded section on working with Linq. A final draft should be available by the middle of April or so.”

7.17 – Using System.Linq

When using Linq expressions, be careful not to sacrifice legibility or performance simply in order to use Linq instead... [More]

7.30 – Loose vs. Tight Coupling

Whether to use loose or tight coupling for components depends on several factors. If a component on a... [More]

Anyone who’s used Visual Studio 2010 [1] for a non-trivial Windows Forms project has run into situations wherein the designer can no longer be opened. Usually, it’s because the class encounters null-reference exceptions when referencing data that is unavailable until runtime. Those are easy to fix: just avoid referencing that data in the constructor or load-routine while in design-mode.

However, sometimes Visual... [More]
