Rob Conery recently wrote about using MongoDB with Linq. I was really intrigued by the fact that you can use elegant, readable, type-safe Linq-queries to access MongoDB document database. To be honest, I had no clue what an object database really is, but when it speaks Linq it must be cool, I thought.
So I [...]
After finding that db4o did not screw up in our projects, I dug a bit through their issue tracker, which is a very important resource you should definitely check out if you’re working with db4o!
Just to get that straight: I’m an avid db4o user and really love it. These issues are not critical and they [...]
We’ve been working a lot on db4o related and db4o based projects lately, and close to completion of the first and most simple product, we really hit a few roadblocks.
UPDATE: Just after releasing this article, I found the bug in our code. It’s not db4o’s fault after all…
Motivation
One thing up front: We don’t need an [...]
My last small note on db4o performance will soon be outdated – fortunately. Newer releases of db4o will no longer rely on Cecil to perform reflection, thereby speeding up db4o linq queries – However, make sure you have Mono.Reflection.dll in your app! Also there are some restrictions when it comes to the compact framework and [...]
First off, my apologies for not posting the second part earlier. I have had a lot to do in the past Months…
Part II of the article will show how a SerializationSurrogate works and explore wheter we can use it for generic de-serialization of DependencyProperties. Also, in this article I provide full source code for both [...]
Have you ever tried to call ICommand.CanExecute()? It actually works fine, but only if you are not as naive as I am… Simply calling it without the proper know-how might result in a NullReferenceException, so what you should read is how to implement ICommandSource. See
MSDN: How To: Implement ICommandSource
MSDN: Implement ICommandSource Sample.
Not a big thing, [...]

At the current release intervals, it’s hard to keep up
Huge thanks to Ilmar Kruis for implementing GetDeviceCaps() in the Tao framework! With some small modifications I suggested, one can now easily develop DPI-aware OpenGL applications using C# or .NET in general! Thanks Ilmar!
I will update my article on the CodeProject about OpenGL windows in Vista soon!
