    I was having a problem where thrown .Net errors were showing up on a web site, but didn’t always want the entirely hide the errors, since sometimes the system purposely threw errors with messages that were intended for the user. (“You selected an invalid object for this operation”-type messages) However, unexpected errors, such as SQL…

    Colleague was telling me about it, says it’s good for mocking, etc.  Putting it here so I don’t forget! We also talked about a problem I was having where I’m the only one who understands the domain of my project, and if I’m not sure how to architect something, I have nobody to discuss approaches. …

    So in a fit of insanity, I spent all of yesterday evening, on my own personal time: trying to get log4net set up, trying an upgrade to the latest version to see if that would get it working realizing that nHibernate was hooked to log4net and so I had to use nHibernate’s chosen version if…

    OK, so the first ReSharper post was a written statement of resharper joy. However, it’s not the best format for getting me some $$ for ReSharper at work. So, let’s write up an informational document for the people who would make the decisions… ReSharper is an add-in to Visual Studio that provides Visual Studio with…

    It sounds like Rhino mocks is the way to do mocking… I just watched Ayende’s intro to Rhino Mocks (Episode 1) and mocking seems like the way to go… and I have some hope that I can use it on my current project! At a very high level, I get that mocking is the way…

    This week, after having heard/read many, many times from a variety of developers that ReSharper from JetBrains was essential for any C# developer, I (finally)gave it a go. And after having only worked with it for about three days, I have to say that Resharper just might be the best thing I’ve ever downloaded. Sure,…
