ConfORM – Another NHibernate mapping possibility

ConfORM – Another NHibernate mapping possibility

Comments 5 comments

I recently hold two presentations at the .Net User Group Bern (DNUG) with René Leupold about object relational mapping in the .Net world. We showed Entity Framework 4.0 and NHibernate. My part was NHibernate. You could download the slides and samples from the DNUG website. In the two presentations I showed the mapping possibilities with hbm.xml files, attributes and Fluent NHibernate. In a previous blog post I already showed those possibilities. During the preparations I hadn’t time to try a…

Mocking frameworks in .Net

Mocking frameworks in .Net

Comments 12 comments

A few month ago I played with some mocking frameworks in .Net. There are already some comparisons available (here, here or here). In this blog post I want to show which frameworks are available and which one fits best for agile development. You could download the source code from github.com. Software under Test (SUT) To demonstrate and evaluate all the different mocking framework I had to create a scenario where it is appropriate to use a mocking framework. So I…

I migrated my desktop PC to Windows 7 Professional. I didn’t choose the upgrade path, I install Windows 7 from scratch.

If you are interested in more Java podcasts, there is a question…

NHibernate mapping possibilities

NHibernate mapping possibilities

Comments 5 comments

I prepare currently a new talk about NHibernate. In this talk I’ll show the different mapping possibilities with NHibernate. To demonstrate the three possibilities (and a fourth one) I chose a quite simple model: I implement three classes Cat, Dog and Bird an for each one I chose a different mapping approach. For my little sample application I used NHibernate 2.1.0, NHibernate.Mapping.Attributes 2.1.0 and Fluent NHibernate 1.0.0.545. NHibernate classic style – XML-Files For the class Cat I chose to use…

From NUnit to MSTest

From NUnit to MSTest

Comments 10 comments

Last week I migrated several projects from NUnit to MSTest. The developers use the Developer version of Microsoft Visual Studio Team System, so they have integrated unit-test support for MSTest. In this post I show you all the problems and work I had to migrate the tests from NUnit to MSTest. Less assert-methods in MSTest In NUnit you have comparison assert methods, exception asserts, more type asserts, more utility asserts and so on (you see what I mean). There already…
