Posted: 27 Aug 2009 11:03 AM PDT

Fun With Method Missing and C# 4

Posted: 26 Aug 2009 10:54 PM PDT

Warning : What I'm about to show you is quite possibly an abuse of the C# language. Then again, maybe it's not. ;) You've been warned. Ruby has a neat feature that allows you to hook into method calls for which the method is not defined. In such cases, Ruby will call a method on your class named method_missing . I showed an example of this using IronRuby a while back when I wrote about monkey patching CLR objects . Typically, this sort of wild chicanery is safely contained within the world of those wild and crazy dynamic language aficionados, far away from the peaceful waters of those who prefer statically typed languages. Until now suckas! ( cue heart pounding rock music with a fast beat ) C# 4 introduces the new dynamic keyword which adds...(read more)

Starter Project Templates (VS 2010 and .NET 4.0 Series)

Posted: 26 Aug 2009 08:07 PM PDT

This is the second in a series of blog posts I'm doing on the upcoming VS 2010 and .NET 4 release. Today's post is about another small, but I think nice, change coming with VS 2010 and ASP.NET 4 when you create new ASP.NET Web projects – which is the ability to create both "Empty projects" as well as to create projects that already have some layout and common functionality included in them, and which can help you get started when building a new application. Creating New Projects When you use the File->New Project or File->New Web Site menu commands within VS 2010, you'll see a "New Project" dialog like below that allows you to filter by language and application type and select different project templates to use when creating new projects...(read more)
