I decided to take some time out on Silverlight and have a play around with Microsoft’s new language F#, I’ll be making notes as I go along and post them here so maybe they’d help satisfy some of your curiosity too! Disclaimer: I do not claim credit for the code examples and much of the …

Purpose: In any real-world applications, when you’re writing code to address the problem domain (say, booking an order) you …
I was having an email conversation with a friend on WPF yesterday and he suggested putting it into a blog post after I went on and on for a bit (sorry Raj!). Having spent some time learning Silverlight (which is a subset of WPF for the web, Microsoft’s equivalent of Flash) I have really come …
Definition: A Cross-Cutting Concern is a concern your application needs to address that is unrelated to your application’s problem domain, and ‘cuts across’ other concerns. Typical examples include: logging persistence security error handling They are usually difficult to decompose from the rest of the system and result in tangled code. Addressing these cross-cutting concerns will …

Well, I had the exact same problem not long ago, and I found this post on James Kovac’s blog about circular references and how to get around them: http://www.jameskovacs.com/blog/GoingAroundInCirclesWithWCF.aspx The key things to note from this post is …
The Dispose pattern is something we’ve all seen before, and it’s so tried and tested most of us (especially myself!) have been more than happy to apply without question.
