.NET framework in version 4.5 provides a cool improvement into Garbage Collector – server mode. This option allows GC to be more efficient on modern hardware. MSDN contains a great article about this feature, which I really recommend you to read. ASP.NET has Server mode turned on by default. Nothing stands on the way of enabling server mode on console app. You can do it with app.config and three lines in xml. My project Kronos is a distributed cache system, where GC will have a lot of work. How to en...

Quite recently I’ve started working on new features for the Warden project and published the first prelease version to the NuGet (along with other packages that are meant to be additional plugins). In this post, I will discuss the available extensions that are basically responsible for making the fluent API even more fluent and the integrations that are a totally new thing, implemented as separate plugins (similarly to the watchers), which provide a quick access to the external services that can be part...

Immutability is a quite old concept that is mostly related to the functional programming, however, it’s also (maybe not so widely) used in the object oriented programming. An immutable variable/object can not be mutated, which means that once it’s been initialized it will never change it’s original value/reference (unless it’s deallocated). This approach results in some great benefits such as out of the box thread safety, yet in the OOP world, it does seem to be quite often abused or even not used at al...

Programując w ASP .NET MVC często mamy potrzebę zmapować jeden obiekt na inny, może to być np. encja pobrana z bazy danych, którą trzeba pozbawić niektórych właściwości i przekazać do dalszych warstw naszej aplikacji, lub – w prostszy ujęciu – konwersja modelu na View Model, którym napełnimy widok naszej aplikacji.

If you’re looking for a simple service for monitoring your MongoDB (things like opening a connection to the database or executing a query and processing the results), then you might find interesting a new type of the watcher added to the Sentry. The MongoDB watcher uses the C# MongoDB Driver under the hood but it’s been implemented in a way, that it’s possible to provide any driver that you’d like. In this post I’ll present how to use it and why it’s been implemented this way instead of another one.

Opis architektury rozwiązania AppSensor.NET

A few days ago I’ve gave it a shot and posted a link to my project on the reddit. Amongst some positive comments, there was this one: "I would never use a library that is not documented at all". Although it was the very first version of the Sentry, a typical preview & work in progress thingy (which I did forget to mention in my post), I’ve realized that it’s high time to provide some form of documentation, otherwise why would anyone use that library, even if it was making a miracles? I thought that...

Packing and publishing nuget from standard .NET project is very simple. Create or generate nuspec file and runnuget pack The appearance of the Core framework and project.json file caused the a little change. Due to historical reason, in .NET Core we have two command line interfaces with utilities for packages.DNU – DNX utility, used in project

Recently I’ve had this idea that came into my mind while working on the Sentry – let the users of my library (if there will be any) to configure not only the set of rules, connection strings, urls etc. but also the underlying providers that do all of the heavy lifting (e.g. the HttpClient responsible for communicating with the API). It means that as long as you’re not satisfied with the default solution, please feel free to provide your own engine that will for example talk to the database and perform a ...
