First C# Dev Connect is Coming Up

  C# Dev Connect Meetup! About a year ago I had thrown around the idea of creating a C#-specific group that would meet at a regular interval with some of my colleagues. I saw that there was interest, but between all of the things we had going on in our personal lives and work lives, we just hadn't been able to co-ordinate something. I'm excited to announce that with some more solid planning over the last couple of months, C# Dev Connect will be able to host their first meetup! The company I work for, Magnet Forensics, has graciously offered our new office to host the event which will help tremendously. We'll have a group of people from Magnet Forensics their to help out, but the only thing "Magnet" about the event is really just that it's hosted at the office. What's…

Dependency Injected Singletons… What?

Background Previously I wrote a bit about singletons. I'm not afraid to say that I think singletons have a time and a place... Okay, I'm afraid to say it, but it's actually how I feel :) After learning more and more about inversion of control design patterns and programming by interfaces, I started to notice just how inflexible singletons are. When you consider using a singleton, you should be considering both the pros and cons without jumping right into it. Here's an example of my approach for mixing singletons, programming by interfaces, and a bit of inversion of control. The Setup I'm actually surprised you got this far. I'm sure you're probably just sticking around to see how messed up this could possibly be. I'm actually proud that this little pattern has worked out so well when I've used it,…

Example: Getting Data Back From An EventHandler

Background I previously wrote about why I like to use events here and here. I figured it would be appropriate to illustrate a simple case where you can delegate decisions between functionally separate parts of code (say, between an application layer and a presentation layer). If you're well versed in C# and .NET, this might put you to sleep. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, hopefully this will help. By the end of this, hopefully you'll have a better idea for how you can use an EventHandler to pass data/state back through an invoked event... And don't forget to check out the code! The Scenario Let's assume we have a layered application, which is usually my go to. I might have three layers: one for data persistence, one for my business logic and one for interacting with…
