Weekly digest #4

There’s a new .Net Digital Magazine in town… DNC Magazine, Greg Duncan:After serving thousands of online tutorials, tips and tricks for .NET developers for the last 5 years, DotNetCurry (DNC) is proud to present a high quality technical digital magazine for .NET techies. 'DNC Magazine' is a Free, bimonthly digital publication bringing you the latest from the .NET world presented by Microsoft MVP's and industry veterans, with years of experience in software development. This month's edition features hot topics like MVC4, SignalR, Knockout.js, TDD, VS ALM, HTML5, Azure and Metro Applications amongst others. Not to mention, a freewheeling interview with Ayende Rahien, the man behind RavenDB.

INotifyPropertyChanged Implementation for VS2012,Kathleen Dollard: I told some folks at the East Tennessee .NET UG (ETNUG, which was adorably put on the reservation board at the after meeting bar as “Eatnug”) meeting in Knoxville that I would post info on a .NET 4.5 version of INotifyPropertyChanged that used CallerMemberName. I also said I wanted to reference other people rather than making up on my own because I’d rather post something already vetted.

Easy Scaling in XAML (WPF), Robert May: Ran into a problem that needed solving that was kind of fun.  I’m not a XAML guru, and I’m sure there are better solutions, but I thought I’d share mine.

Jazz Up Your C# Code, Charles Wiebe and John Hansen: Maintaining code with complex permissions tends to be difficult, because the code can be distributed across multiple classes. By embedding permissions directly on methods and properties within a class, code is reduced and maintainability is simplified.

Stored procedures DO NOT increase performance, Shivprasad koirala: I assume ☺ that you have clicked on this article / blog because you are an awesome fan of stored procedures (like me) and you cannot see these kind of loose statements. My sincere suggestion would be to read this article once, give a thought on experiments and then the comments sections are always there to throw bricks at me.

SQL SERVER – Retrieve SQL Server Installation Date Time, Pinal Dave: I have been asked this question a number of times and my answer always has been “Search online and you will find the answer.” Every single time someone follows my answer, he finds the accurate answer in just a few clicks. However, this question is getting very popular nowadays, so I decided to answer this question through a blog post.
