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…

Subversion daemon Init script

Subversion daemon Init script

Round-up of a data centric architecture

Round-up of a data centric architecture

Comments 2 comments

In my last big project we had to use a data centric architecture. There was a learning curve which architecture was the most appropriate one. The result is visible in the picture bellow: Lets explaining the diagram. The data (or state) is managed by the database layer and the common layer which contains the .Net class DataSet and the DataTables (logic representation of the physical table in the database). This architecture makes use of the patterns Table Module for domain…

Branching practices

Branching practices

Comments 2 comments

In an environment where several developers work at the same code base or several features have to be implemented, then branching will be a topic. I was asked to create a branching guide for my current employer which use TFS as source code repository. Motivation In our projects I found the following problems: When the developers want to release a new version, not every feature was finished. So they had to deliver unfinished features. To solve that problem, they need…

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…
