• When to do Code Review

  - by mcass20

  We have recently moved to a scrum process and are working on tasks and user stories inside of sprints. We would like to do code reviews frequently to make them less daunting. We are thinking that doing them on a user story level but are unsure how to branch our code to account for this. We are using VS and TFS 2010 and we are a team of 6. We currently branch for features but are working on changing to branching for scrum. We do not currently use shelvesets and don't really want to implement if there are other techniques available. How do you recommend we implement code review per user story?

• In C#, why should I use the 'var' data type?

  - by mcass20

  In C#, is there any reason to use the var data type other than to reduce "code noise"? I'm struggling to see a real value here.

• Mindmapping as a Documentation Tool

  - by mcass20

  My team has recently begun using XMind to organize development projects. It seems to be a pretty powerful brainstorming software. I'm just wondering if other developers have employed similar techniques to aid in documenting software design.

• How dynamic can I make my LINQ To SQL Statements?

  - by mcass20

  I have the need to construct a LINQ To SQL statement at runtime based on input from a user and I can't seem to figure out how to dynamically build the WHERE clause. I have no problem with the following: string Filters = "<value>FOO</value>"; Where("FormattedMessage.Contains(@0)",Filters) But what I really need is to make the entire WHERE clause dynamic. This way I can add multiple conditions at runtime like this (rough idea): foreach (Filter filter in filterlist) { whereclause = whereclause + "&& formattedmessage.contains(filter)"; }

• Do your admins modify your web.config files?

  - by mcass20

  I'm wondering how other developers are handling source code conflicts for config files when system admins modify them in production. For example, if a system admin updates a appsettings key on the production server and then my team publishes out a project, it will overwrite that key. How do you handle config file updates in your organization?

• Common MVC 2 Pitfalls

  - by mcass20

  I surprised this hasn't been asked before...or maybe I just don't see it. Anyway, I'm finally straying from the comfort of ASP.NET Web Forms and exploring the world of MVC2. I've done the nerdinner walk-through and it was fairly straightforward. Now I am getting a little more adventurous and building an MVC2 app on my own and would like to know if there are some common pitfalls that others can attest to. Please consider my background as an ASP.NET Web Forms developer. Thanks!

• How to rebuild C# Class from XML

  I would like to save an instance of a c#.NET class in SQL for later retrieval. I am able to use LINQ to SQL to add a record complete with all the xml that makes up the class. Now how do I retrieve that xml and reconstruct the class object instance?

• LINQ To SQL Wildcards

  - by mcass20

  How can I build in wildcards to my LINQ To SQL lambda expression? This is what I have currently: var query = from log in context.Logs select log; foreach (string filter in CustomReport.ExtColsToFilter) { string tempFilter = filter; query = query.Where(Log => Log.FormattedMessage.Contains(tempFilter)); } This works fine up until I try and pass wildcards in the filter string. I'm experimenting with SqlMethods.Like() but to no avail. The filters above look like this: "<key>NID</key><value>mcass</value>". I'd like to be able to pass filters like this: "<key>NID</key><value>%m%</value>"

• How to Transition to Scrum

  - by mcass20

  My team has grown fairly quickly from 1 to 5 over the last year or so and are very interested in changing our development style from Waterfall to a more iterative approach like Scrum. We work for a University and specialize in CRUD web apps for internal customers who are always changing requirements along the way. So, my question is...How do we best implement Scrum techniques? Supplemental concerns: Is it recommended to quit Waterfall "cold turkey" in order to facilitate the transition or do you feel a progressive approach is more effective? In other words, pick and choose some scrum techniques to implement now and add others further down the road?

• What is a ballpark figure for Microsoft PDC registration?

  - by mcass20

  My employer is asking for details about the MS PDC conference that is taking place later this year. I know there are no official details available to the public yet so I am looking for estimates based on previous year's registrations. What is a good ballpark estimate on how much it will cost to attend PDC 2010?

• Best .NET Development Conference

  - by mcass20

  My employer has offered to send me to any conference I choose this year. I guess I just missed MIX. I went to VSLive last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. I've never been to PDC or TechEd so that's what I'm leaning toward. Am I missing any others?

• Why Can't I store XML in ASP.NET ListBox Value?

  - by mcass20

  Hello, Why does this work: ListItem item = new ListItem(); string value = lstAvailExtPropsToFilter.SelectedItem.Text +" = "+ txtExtPropToFilter.Text; string text = lstAvailExtPropsToFilter.SelectedItem.Text + " = " + txtExtPropToFilter.Text; item.Text = text; item.Value = value; lstExtPropsToFilter.Items.Add(item); But not this: ListItem item = new ListItem(); string value = string.Format("<key>{0}</key><value>{1}</value>", lstAvailExtPropsToFilter.SelectedItem.Text, txtExtPropToFilter.Text); string text = lstAvailExtPropsToFilter.SelectedItem.Text + " = " + txtExtPropToFilter.Text; item.Text = text; item.Value = value; lstExtPropsToFilter.Items.Add(item);

• Strange LINQ to SQL Behavior

  - by mcass20

  What is wrong with the last query? Is it a bug or am I missing something? This query returns 2 records (correct): query = query.Where(Log => SqlMethods.Like(Log.FormattedMessage, "%<key>Name</key><value>David</value>%")); This query returns 2 records (correct): query = query.Where(Log => SqlMethods.Like(Log.FormattedMessage, "%<key>Name</key><value>%David%</value>%")); This query returns 0 records (correct): query = query.Where(Log => SqlMethods.Like(Log.FormattedMessage, "%<key>Name</key><value>av</value>%")); This query returns 2 records (correct): query = query.Where(Log => SqlMethods.Like(Log.FormattedMessage, "%<key>Name</key><value>%av%</value>%")); This query returns 0 records (correct): query = query.Where(Log => SqlMethods.Like(Log.FormattedMessage, "%<key>Name</key><value>v</value>%")); This query returns 15 records (incorrect, should return 2): query = query.Where(Log => SqlMethods.Like(Log.FormattedMessage, "%<key>Name</key><value>%v%</value>%"));

• LINQ To SQL Dynamic Select

  - by mcass20

  Can someone show me how to indicate which columns I would like returned at run-time from a LINQ To SQL statement? I am allowing the user to select items in a checkboxlist representing the columns they would like displayed in a gridview that is bound to the results of a L2S query. I am able to dynamically generate the WHERE clause but am unable to do the same with the SELECT piece. Here is a sample: var query = from log in context.Logs select log; query = query.Where(Log => Log.Timestamp > CustomReport.ReportDateStart); query = query.Where(Log => Log.Timestamp < CustomReport.ReportDateEnd); query = query.Where(Log => Log.ProcessName == CustomReport.ProcessName); foreach (Pair filter in CustomReport.ExtColsToFilter) { sExtFilters = "<key>" + filter.First + "</key><value>" + filter.Second + "</value>"; query = query.Where(Log => Log.FormattedMessage.Contains(sExtFilters)); }
