LINQ to SQL - TOP 5 + 1 of problems  [click for more...]

Anko Duizer is spot on with his post on the top 5 problems with LINQ to SQL. I’d like to take this opportunity to express my biggest concern with LINQ to SQL.

Compliments for ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies  [click for more...]
I'm still trying to get www.asp.net to include ASP.NET 3.5 For Dummies in their Starter Books section. Not sure what's going on there. They list other Dummies books, so it can't be an anti-Dummies thing. In the meantime, here are a couple of kind reader comments that made my day! "I just read your book cover to cover. It was one of the best written books I have ever read. The amount of work you put into it must have been massive. I loved it!" --MW "The book is very well written &...(read more)

Pointers to good concurrent programming information  [click for more...]

A coworker asked me if I knew of any good books on .Net multithreaded programming.

The only one I knew of was .NET Multithreading which is weak in some areas and getting a little bit long in the tooth.

 

One of the best sources of info is Joe Duffy's blog.

 

Start with Concurrency and the impact on reusable libraries, keep an eye out for his book, Concurrent Programming on Windows, and consider a Safari rough cuts subscription.

Find/Replace in Visual Studio with Regular Expressions and Variables  [click for more...]

This can be a major time saver when you want to find some text and perhaps duplicate it or manipulate it throughout a bunch of files in your project.

In my case, I was asked to take all the AlternateText properties on Image controls, and duplicate them to ToolTip attributes.  There are ways to accomplish this without actually changing the markup at all, but I wanted to see if Visual Studio could do it for me, and my good friend and colleague, Alex Cibotari, cooked up a solution.

 

Find: AlternateText='{[^']+}'

Replace With: AlternateText='\1' ToolTip='\1'

You can see that the \1 serves as a variable placeholder for the contents of the first regular expression block in the Find field.

I haven't had the chance to try this out with multiple variables yet, but it makes sense that it would work.

How awesome is that?  Thanks, Alex! 

There are lots of other ways this can be used - let me know if you come up with any cool ones.
