If you want to learn Composite Application Block (CAB/SCSF) or need some clarification if you already have experience, stop searching for information and visit this great article on CAB/SCSF.

Microsoft documentation on CAB sucks, I spent enough time searching material on CAB, this article is best one.

If you find better information than this article let me buy you coffee, it’s my promise.

LINQ is a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that encompass language-integrated query, set, and transform operations. It extends C# and Visual Basic with native language syntax for queries and provides class libraries to take advantage of these capabilities.

All about Dependency injection.

Ramaswamy Palaniappan — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 22:57:00 +0000

Dependency injection (DI) in object-oriented computer programming is a technique for supplying an external dependency (i.e. a reference) to a software component – that is, indicating to a part of a program which other parts it can use. It is a specific form of inversion of control where the concern being inverted is the process of obtaining the needed dependency. The term was first coined by Martin Fowler to describe the mechanism more clearly.

List of Visualizers for Visual Studio.

Ramaswamy Palaniappan — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:38:21 +0000

Visual Studio 2005 includes a new debugging feature called visualizers, which can be used to create a human-readable view of data for use during the debugging process. Visual Studio 2005 includes a number of debugger visualizers by default, most notably the DataSet visualizer, which provides a tabular interface to view and edit the data inside a DataSet. While the default visualizers are very valuable, perhaps the best part of this new interface is that it is completely extensible. With just a little bit of work you can write your own visualizers to make debugging that much easier.

In this page, you can find good list of visualizers.

How to create your own Visualizer?
