Desert Code Camp Presentation

Posted by bsstahl on 2011-04-02 and Filed Under: event development 


Thanks to all of the organizers, speakers, sponsors and attendees of Desert Code Camp 2011.1.  This is the first time that I’ve presented at a Code Camp and it was a fantastic experience for me.  My session, Building Enterprise Apps using Entity Framework 4, was very well attended with 35 people cramming, standing-room-only, into a room with a capacity of 28 (please don’t tell the Fire Marshall).  The demos went very well (everything worked as it was supposed to) and the feedback I’ve gotten so far was entirely positive.

I will be posting some additional information from the session shortly, including the sample code and the changes I make to the Microsoft All Rules code analysis ruleset, but I wanted to get the session slides up as quickly as possible.

If you have any additional feedback on the session, please feel free to contact me here, in the Fediverse @bsstahl@cognitiveinheritance.com or by email as shown in the slide deck.

Profile Provider Exception

Posted by bsstahl on 2006-10-07 and Filed Under: development 


While working on a custom Profile provider, I needed to set the values in a SettingPropertyValuesCollection object to pass to the SetPropertyValues method of the provider. Using the code below, I was always getting a NullReferenceException when the provider attempted to read the values out of the collection.

Dim objProperties As New System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyValueCollection
Dim objProperty As New System.Configuration.SettingsProperty"BirthDate")
objProperty.PropertyValue = #2/14/2004#
Dim objPropertyValue As New System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyValue(objProperty)
objProperties.Add(objPropertyValue)

The problem occurs because the collection doesn't know what type to assign the value to coming out of the collection. By modifying the code as follows, I specify the type of the property, and the process executes as expected.

Dim objProperties As New System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyValueCollection
Dim objProperty As New System.Configuration.SettingsProperty("BirthDate")
objProperty.PropertyValue = #2/14/2004#
objProperty.PropertyType = GetType(System.DateTime)
Dim objPropertyValue As New System.Configuration.SettingsPropertyValue(objProperty)
objProperties.Add(objPropertyValue)
