    String Matching in LINQ

    Performing simple string equality tests is often not enough when application user convenience is key. Often only a fragment of a string is known to the user, or many of them. Sometimes there is a need to search for a fragment in multiple columns. Which options does OpenAccess and LINQ provide to perform string matching? Into which SQL is the LINQ expression translated? Let’s use a simple class model for this post: a Person with a FirstName, a LastName and a NickName. Let’s assume parameters with the name simpleParam (string) and manyParam (ICollection<string>). String equality comparison Using the standard Equals method translates directly into...

    Writing a JustCode Code Cleaning Extension

    I recently decided to clean up an open source project, and the best tool I found for the job was Telerik JustCode’s Code Clean option.

If you wish, you can use the “New” or “Clone” button to set up your own profile that matches your coding style. Afterwards, return to a piece of code file and press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+F and watch your (co-worker’s) code be processed into a thing of beauty. Opening a...

    Lazy Programming for Smarties

    As a programmer, I can honestly say that I am lazy. Forget the menial job of repeating tasks... if it takes me an hour to complete an iteration, I would rather spend 3 hours automating the process. You never know when you might need to do it again, and the click of a button is much more satisfying than an hour of processing data. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way either, otherwise Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas wouldn’t have codified the DRY principle in The Pragmatic Programmer…. Don’t Repeat Yourself.  Visual Studio makes it easy to be...
