• tenetevi liberi il 4 novembre: c’è il KBox!

  Quest’anno per l’edizione Autumn del consueto KBox avrò maggior tempo per fare networking con i partecipanti, visto che non sono impegnato in alcuna sessione! Tra l’altro quest’anno c’è una agenda molto *** e ricca di sia dal punto di vista josh (anteprima delle funzionalità incluse nella versione 4) e di tutto ciò che ruota attorno [...] Posted Oct 31 2008, 07:13 AM by nonaka Filed under: about

• Workshop DotNetMarche : andata ritorno

  Ieri assieme a Gabriele ed Ivan abbiamo tenuto alcune sessioni di introduzione a SharePoint presso l’aula magna del polo di Informatica dell’Università di Camerino in occasione del workshop sponsorizzato da Microsoft con il patrocinio di UNICAM. Oltre 100 partecipanti, feedback altamente positivi e nessuno si è addormentato .. (cosa pretendere di più?) Finalmente DotNetMarche ora [...] Posted Oct 31 2008, 06:46 AM by nonaka Filed under: Personal, Featured

• Binary versus Xml Serialization size

  Yesterday a friend of DotNetMarche asked me this question: “I have the need to store serialized objects into database , I can choose between binary or xml format, which is smaller in size?” My first answer was “Binary should occupy less space because it is more compact” but he told me that DBA checked that xml [...] Posted Oct 31 2008, 03:00 AM by Alkampfer's Place Filed under: .NET framework

• I programmi Microsoft per le ISV

  L’ottimo Silvano ha redatto un documento di guida sui programmi, adozioni e attività di  formazione riservati ai partner Microsoft che intendono investire nella professionalità. Credo possa essere un importante spunto per molte delle ISV italiane. Posted Oct 29 2008, 07:15 AM by nonaka Filed under: Technology

• Il decreto Gelmini, i baroni e gli altri

  Il dl Gelmini ha passato ora con successo il vaglio del Senato della Repubblica, bene aggiungo io anche se mi tocca storcere un pò il naso per la nascita di questa esigenza che è molto economica e poco riformatrice. Ora prepariamoci agli insulti da parte delle Università e dei loro proprietari, visto che a breve [...] Posted Oct 29 2008, 06:28 AM by nonaka Filed under: Personal, Society

• oliodan

  Noi marchigiani siamo molto attaccati alle radici della nostra terra (come tutti gli italiani del resto) e quando ritorniamo a casa dopo una settimana di lavoro (o forse anche più) assaporiamo con piacere gli antichi costumi della nostra terra. Cosi sono venuto a conoscenza dell’intenzione di Roberto D’Angelo di mettere in vendita una piccola parte [...] Posted Oct 29 2008, 01:57 AM by nonaka Filed under: Personal

• Terminating a fluent interface.

  I  usually use a fluent interface to make assertion on data on database, a typical assertion looks like DbAssert.OnQuery("select * from tablename") .That("column1", Is.EqualTo(15)) .That("column2", Is.EqualTo(90)) .That("column2", Is.EqualTo(99)) .ExecuteAssert(); This makes me possible to express simple database assertion to verify database conditions expressed [...] Posted Oct 28 2008, 06:25 AM by Alkampfer's Place Filed under: Testing

• NHibernate: how to control Delete Rule and Update Rule in a foreign key when using SchemaExport

  If in your project you let NHibernate generate the database from the information you provide with the schema mappings (a thing extremely useful, especially for testing cause you can build up the database in engines like SQLite), sometimes you may need...

• Ma l’snr di una linea adsl significa veramente qualche cosa?

  Ultimamente il mio snr in ricezione su linea adsl è veramente basso, tipo 5.5 o anche qualche giorno 4db, valore che leggendo in giro indica una connessione veramente sporca. Comunque sono sempre connesso a circa 7 MBit e quando scarico da Microsoft o da siti con molta banda vado come una scheggia Ora, o il mio router mi rileva un snr in ricezione sbagliato, oppure il rumore non influisce sul download, con un snr di 5.5 db ho un snr lineare di 3.5!!!! veramente basso rispetto alla banda in upload che con 20db ha un rapporto lineare di 100 … la linea non si sconnette mai (a meno che qualcuno non parli al telefono, nonostante tutti i filtri adsl in ogni presa) e vado verametne veloce nonostante la linea veramente rumorosa…boh… Alk.

• Some details on older post about usertype

  In this old post I spoke about a user type that permits you to store a IList<String> property with nhibernate  in a single field of a database with a # separated list of string. That example did not contain the full code of the usertype, so here it is. 1 class [...] Posted Oct 21 2008, 05:59 AM by Alkampfer's Place Filed under: Uncategorized

• How to report a bug, the importance of good details and reproducibility information

  During application’s lifecycle, the activity of bug tracking is a really important one. You should use some software (Team foundation server or some free tools like mantis) to keep track of application’s bugs. Usually, even if you use Test Driven Approach, you cannot intercept all bugs with unit tests, so you should be prepared to [...] Posted Oct 20 2008, 09:31 AM by Alkampfer's Place Filed under: Testing

• [Tools] EQATEC Profiler ]our profiler can even handle Compact Framework applications]

  http://www.eqatec.com/tools/profiler EQATEC Profiler Make your .NET app run faster It's powerful, easy, and free Spot slow code Are you a .NET developer? Would you like your application to run faster? Then use our free profiler to spot you app's slow code. Point and go No source code changes are needed. Just point the profiler to your app, run the modified code, and get a visual report. Speedup any .NET app As the only code profiler in the world, our profiler can even handle Compact Framework applications. Language Version Platform  C#  VB.NET  Managed C++  J#  C or C++  Java  .NET 3.5  .NET 3.0  .NET 2.0  .NET CF 3.5  .NET CF 2.0  .NET 1.1  WinXP, Vista  Windows Mobile  Windows CE  XP embedded  PocketPC, PDA  Linux Key Features These are the key features of the EQATEC Profiler. Optimize speed, not memory usage The EQATEC Profiler is a code profiler, not a memory profiler. So it's all about making your app run faster, not about tracking objects and memory. The report will tell you exactly how many times each method was called and how long it took. You can then speedup your application by optimizing just the most expensive methods. Easy to use We have focused much on making the profiler and viewer both very easy to use: You can profile any .NET application with just a few clicks. No source code changes are needed. The viewer has been designed to make it easy to drill quickly into what really matters: the most expensive methods and their context. So don't let the simple look fool you - we take pride in not adding tons of useless options, but instead make tools that simply does "the right thing" by itself. Profile any .NET app (2.0 and above) You can profile any app, not just your own. Profile NASA's great World Wind app if you want. Or Paint.NET. Yes, any app you want is no problem - just point and go. Only code profiler for .NET CF The profiler was developed specifically to optimize .NET CF apps, and is actually the only existing code profiler for .NET CF in the World as of May, 2008. The report is stored as a simple file to simplify usage on an embedded device that has no network connectivity. Low runtime overhead The overhead depends on the instrumentation-level and the application itself, but typically your app will only run 30% slower and become 30% bigger. This low overhead means you're usually able to run your app just like normal, even for timing-critical code. Command-line version A command-line version of the profiler enables you to integrate the profiling-step straight into your ordinary build-process, e.g. in MSBuild. On a 3GHz P4 PC the profiling step typically takes 1 second per 2000 methods, so that's pretty quick. Profiler API You can control the profiler programmatically, too: take a profile-snapshot precisely when needed, not just when your application stops. You may also use attributes to prevent any method from being profiled or from appearing in the report. It's free "-and free means crap, right?" Well, not always. You know, some happy users have actually told us that we ought to charge them for this kind of quality tool. Really, its true! However, for now we've decided not to.
