Did you know that you can get Visual Studio Intellisense support when editing NHibernate’s configuration and mapping files?* Simply drop nhibernate-configuration.xsd and nhibernate-mapping.xsd from the NHibernate zip file into: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Xml\Schemas or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Xml\Schemas Once you’ve got the XML Schemas in the right location, you should see something like this […]

I created a few simple ReSharper templates to make working with NHibernate and Castle ActiveRecord easier. They currently default to SQL Server 2005 because that’s what I do most of my work against. Feel free to customize to your heart’s content. You can grab them from here. Simply import the templates into ReSharper via ReSharper… Options… […]
The ALT.NET Open Space Conference in Austin has come to a close. It was a fantastic experience. I had an opportunity to connect with many people whose books I have read and tools I use. Thanks to everyone who came for sharing their time and knowledge. Given that I’m used to wearing the presenter hat, […]

Coming to Austin, TX… October 5-7, 2007… Brought to you by the NHibernate Mafia themselves… 3 days of ALT.NET mayhem… See behaviours twisted, tests tortured, dependencies injected, object-relations mapped, and DSLs like you’ve never seen them before… More seriously, what exactly is ALT.NET?

I added some files and then tried to commit the changes, but I got this highly cryptic error message: Error: Commit failed (details follow): Error: Authorization failed The causes of this generic error […]
Source control is a must when it comes to development. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a large team of developers or if you’re the only one. You need to set up source control. For my own pet projects, I use Subversion. Simple to set up and simple to use, especially with TortoiseSVN. I’m not […]
A few days ago, I read Kyle Baley’s post about learning Rhino Mocks. Like many folks, he initially had trouble understanding Rhino Mocks’ record/playback metaphor. Then during the Calgary Code Camp, an attendee kindly pointed out that I had forgotten mockRepository.ReplayAll() in my unit test – fortunately before I actually ran it. Then yesterday I […]
