Comparing CLI assemblies using NDepend
LatelyI had following task to deal with. Had two assemblies, an older and a newer version of the same dll. But no source code for any of them. I had to assess the differences between this two assemblies. “How to do it efficiently?” I asked myself. The easiest way as it seemed was to open both in Just Decompile (or any other reverse engineering tool for .NET) and go through them. But, while I was writing my “Continuous Integration in .NET” book, I was lucky enough to get a free license of the NDepend tool from Patrick Smacchia. NDepend is mainly code analysis tool for .NET. It is able to…

Classification of automatic software build methods
Here is the online version of my article that was published in a chapter of a book at Opole University of Technology (ISBN 978-83-63015-10-7). Classification of automatic software build methods Summary: The process of creating working software from source code and other components (like libraries, database files, etc.) is called “software build”. Apart from linking and compiling, it can include other steps like automated testing, static code analysis, documentation generation, deployment and other. All that steps can be automated using a build description of some sort (e.g. script). This article classifies the automatic software build processes beginning at build script and reaching the various types of continuous integration. Keywords: software…

Standalone portable IIS with your site
Let’s say you have a following task: your small ASP.NET (MVC) website needs to be run on a computer that does not (necessarily) IIS have installed. How to make it possible? You can do it using IIS Express. It is a small version of IIS server that Microsoft ships for free with at http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=1038. It is shipped with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 too (so there is a chance you already got it in C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express). They say it’s not xcopy deployable (meaning you cannot run it without installation) but it kinda is. You have to simply install it on one machine and take out what the files you…

I’m getting started with Netduino
I’m recently extending my .NET toolbox with .NET Micro Framework skills. I got myself a Netduino board and I’m currently tinkering. Here is the my HELLO WORLD program: 1: OutputPort led = new OutputPort(Pins.ONBOARD_LED, false); 2: 3: while (true) 4: { 5: foreach (char t in "HELLO WORLD") 6: { 7: for (int i = 8: ",ETIANMSURWDKGOHVF,L,PJBXCYZQ,,54 ,3,,,2,,,,,,,16,,,,,,,7,,,8,90".IndexOf(t); 9: i > 0; i /= 2) 10: { 11: led.Write(true); 12: if ("-."[i-- % 2] == '.') 13: Thread.Sleep(100); 14: else 15: Thread.Sleep(300); 16: led.Write(false); 17: Thread.Sleep(100); 18: } 19: Thread.Sleep(300); 20: if (t.Equals(' ')) Thread.Sleep(400); 21: } 22: 23: Thread.Sleep(1400); 24: } Yeap I’m blinking the hello to the…

More on "Continuous Integration in .NET"
I’ve recently got the sales report from Manning about my book “Continuous Integration in .NET”. I’m very happy to report it sells quite well! And speaking about the book. My friend Mateusz Łoskot send me an excerpt from the ACCU discussion board discussing my book. Here it is: > Interesting you mention the Manning books on Dependency Injection and Continuous Integration… is there really a whole books-worth of stuff in each of those topics?? If you are in the .NET world then then ‘Continuous Integration in .NET’ is really worth the time invested. It covers most of commonly used tools (CC.NET, MSBuild & Team System, TeamCity). Goes over integration of…

Adventures with certificates, 2-way-SSL and WCF
I’ve recently dived deep into WCF and security. To be exact I’ve tinkered with something that is called 2-Way–SSL a little. It’s a quite complex topic and I will try to summarize what I’ve learned. 1. Issuing certificates Resources: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff648902.aspx and http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa386968%28v=vs.85%29.aspx System: Windows 7 To start you will have to have a certificate. Essentially you have two options if you don’t have one yet: a) getting one from a CA (Certification Authority), b) issuing one for yourself. While choosing the way to go, keep in mind what do you need it for. The whole point of certificates is they need to be trusted. For your development its sufficient you…
