Hey Randy,

Re: #4 – all work item types are supported. We didn’t do anything in Basic to limit this.

Comment on The Power of the Predicate by Jeff P

Jeff P — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 17:34:07 +0000

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting this, Randy!
I couldn’t figure out the "Predicate" idea…was sorting through my List Collection from top to bottom.
This idea dramatically sped things up.
I did get a little snagged because I wanted to use a FIND.
Kept trying to put the findings to a LIST, but it needed to return one of the List’s objects.

I had already figured out the use of Sorting delegates a couple days ago.
I have a delegate with 6 levels of sorting and it is very fast.
I’m still a little baffled on how the Sort "works"…I’m just glad I don’t have to write it.
I remember writing those routines in CompSci. Ugh!

I see you went over to the "dark side" :> With those two keys, I only need about 5 total to use ReSharper effectively.

This is really helpful – we were using the configuration file but using the Unity APIU would allow you to use different constructors in different situations (containers).

Wow, you really wimped out this time. Threw a few Java links in there so you wouldn’t get the "Java’s a language too" snivels. LOL. Great links.

Comment on Unity Application Block Event Broker by Oleg Sych

Oleg Sych — Sun, 04 May 2008 00:21:31 +0000

What would be the advantage in using the Simple Event Broker compared to something like this:

public static class MyEvents {
public static event EventHandler TransactionComplete;
public static void OnTransactionComplete(object sender, EventArgs e) {
if (TransactionComplete != null)
TransactionComplete(sender, e);
};
}

class Publisher {
void DoStuff() {
MyEvents.OnTransactionComplete(this, new EventArgs());
}
}

class Subscriber {
public Subscriber() {
MyEvents.TransactionComplete += TransactionCompleteHandler;
}

public void TransactionCompleteHandler(object sender, EventArgs e) {
//Do Something…..
}
}

Comment on Lazy Instantiation with Unity Application Block by Steve Owens

I was wondering if the visibilities of the UnityContainer property are reversed. Usually you see the setter marked as private while the getter is public.
