I’ve tried to target each one towards using a particular technology as the framework has developed. Have a look and tell me which is your preferred answer, or propose a new o... [More]

Proxy authentication with retry

by alski 4. February 2009 19:55

Need to talk through a proxy? Try this. You'll probably want to refactor in a factory method to allow the correct creation and re-creation of the WebRequest. Note that attempt one uses the default proxy with Windows authentication parameters, subsequent attempts ask for a user name and pa... [More]

Strongly typed DAL reader

by alski 30. October 2008 21:58

I wrote this little piece of code a while ago, and the more I see it the more I'm proud of it. It allows you to create strongly typed objects from each row of a data result, and yield them, so you can dispose them individually without needing the whole list in memory. It also filters out null ... [More]

by alski 7. April 2008 23:15

I seem to have problems remembering the syntax remembering the syntax for anonymous delegates, so here it is. return GetUnfilteredList().FindAll(new Predicate<MyObject>( delegate (MyObject instance) { return (instance.IsWanted)); })); What strikes me as a write this though ... [More]

Streaming ForEach using a yield

by alski 14. February 2008 14:36

I've been looking for an article on converting foreachs into a less memory intensive operation and I remember reading http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/bb264519.aspx before, I just couldn't find it. Basically it uses an example of all numbers in the New York phone b... [More]

Why List<T>.Foreach missed the boat AKA The great 'Personal threading maturity model' barrier

by alski 11. October 2007 22:21

With dotnet2.0 there a great set of functions added onto the generic list classes and their associates. I am particularly fond of anything which makes use of Predicate<T> like filter, but I've recently realised that this functionality is flawed. The great 'Personal threading matu... [More]
