Last week, I gave a brown bag talk at Southworks about scriptcs and one of the things I explained in depth were script packs. If this is the first time you hear about scriptcs be sure to check: The Github Project The Blog Hanselman’s blog post The wiki There is a lot of information out... read more
Some time ago I blogged (here and here) about Needle , a dependency injection container I used to work on when procrastinating. As I’m planning to spend some time working on updates I thought it would be a good idea to use NDepend 4 and get a sense of possible improvements I could tackle before... read more
If you have used TypeScript you are probably aware of the compiled outcome of an Arrow Function (section 4.9.2 of the TypeScript Language Specification). The idea behind using () => {…}; instead of function(){…}; is to have access to the object represented by this in the outer scope, which is what you would expect when... read more
This week, for a project at Southworks, my friend Mariano Converti and I had to create indexes in a SQL database for two string type properties of entities that were part of an Entity Framework Code First model. As we were also required to support changes to the model after the application was deployed, we... read more

Back in February, I blogged about Needle, a dependency injection container that I was developing. In that post, I listed some of the most relevant features Needle has, one of them being its Fluent API. I thought it would be a would idea to talk about Needle again, but this time sharing some code and... read more
If you work with Silverlight and MVVM, you must have probably been forced to do some weird thing to bind to a property in your view model (say a Command) from a DataTemplate. Some of the common approaches I have seen and used myself are: Using some kind of binding helper as a View’s resource.... read more

On Monday, Microsoft released the Service Pack 2 version of the Microsoft Media Platform Video Editor (formerly known as RCE). This version includes all the new features and bug fixes that were included in SP1, an important fix for an issue that occurs when playing live smooth streaming videos and a minor fix in the... read more
A couple of days ago I uploaded to NuGet (which was really easy BTW) the first alpha release of the Needle Container. Needle is a lightweight dependency injection container. Initially the project came up as something to do on weekends and boring afternoons with practicing goals (TDD, reflection), but after that I started putting more... read more
The last couple of days I have been working on a MMC spike that leverage dependency injection and some kind of presentation pattern (in this case MVP), to search for ways to make MMC applications more testable. The scenario I chose for the spike was having a plug-in that could connect/disconnect network adapters through a... read more
