Deleting all records in all tables in the entire database using NHibernate

This is a great little code snippet I thought I'd share. Before each one of my NUnit or NBehave tests, I clear out all the records from the database using NHibernate. Unfortunately, NHibernate's HQL doesn't seem to do cascade deletes, so you have to delete your tables in the right order....

ASP.NET MVC - Multiple buttons on a single form.

I haven't posted in a while do to being busy with my new job, but I thought I'd just share this code snippet. In the new asp.net mvc framework, you often have the need for a single form, but multiple buttons that each post to a different controller action. In webforms you didn't have to worry...

Giving up on the community

I know nobody reads my blog anyway, but I still feel the need to comment (rant) to the blogosphere. The back story goes like this. Joel Spoelsky said some pretty irresponsible things in an interview, calling SOLID principles bureaucratic and saying "(code) quality doesn't matter." Jeff...

I'm part of an open source project!

I'm contributing to the Wilson O/R Mapper project which is now open source and on google code. I'm adding fluent mappings for WORM in the same manner as Fluent NHibernate. Exciting stuff! http://code.google.com/p/wilsonormapper/source/browse/#svn/branches/FluentMappings/Wilson.ORMapper/FluentMappings

Found some good code today

I'm hoping this won't offend any of you out there, but most of us developers write crappy code. I'm not fully sure why this is, but even if the database isn't a steaming pile of horse poo, the code usually is. There's often a lot of code duplication, methods and property names that...

Die Code-Behind DIE!!!

As mentioned in previous episodes, my team is standardizing on the ASP.NET MVC Framework for web development. One thorn in our sides has been that by default, Visual Studio would create a code-behind for your views automatically, and if you wanted a view that used a strongly typed model, such as ViewPage<Person>...

For the love of God, Normalize you databases!

Despite that stupid presentation about "normalization is for sissies" that went around the net for a while, I'm very pro-normalization. Normalization and the standard Third Normal Form (3nf) simplify data management and application development greatly. This is especially true when writing...

TDD + Resharper Payoff - Refactoring

So the project i mentioned the other day in my last post has had minimal need for refactoring. Part of that is because I'm such a super badass developer who always gets things right the first time (yeah right), and part of it is that the project is small enough and young enough that there isn't...

For the six or seven of you in the world that actually read my blog, you've noticed that i've been pretty quiet lately. So while i'm chomping down breakfast before work, I thought I'd give you a rundown on what i've been doing lately. I'm working on a medium size project that...
