My WinVista looks like a Mac :)

-
Hi. In Dec/january, working with Zemoga, I got a Mac. I loved the OSX. hated not having right-clic on the trackpad, the different keys for common Office tasks, different default behaviours, but it was a nice experience.

I prefer Win though, and since XP is so nineties, I upgraded to Vista busoiness 64 bit.

In order to be more Mac-alike, I found some tools very nice:

ObjectDock




It emulates MacOSX toolbar very well..... I like it, and I'll like it more when it supports X64 OS

Switcher
This tool makes switching application just like in Mac. small thumbnails of all your windows, and you sleect the one yo like....

with these apps, I feel I have a Next-get OS UI!!!
Let's see what Win7 can add to this....

Manejo de "Cumpleaños del mes" en WSS 3.0

-
No he encontrado ningún artículo que indique cómo crear una vista en WSS 3.0 que muestre los cumpleaños del día; el gran problema es la falta de flexibilidad en los filtros por defecto y en el manejo de columnas calculadas en WSS, que no permite simplemente filtrar por una fórmula como MONTH([FechaNacimiento]) = MONTH([Hoy]). Mark Kruger tiene uno de cómo hacerlo en WSS2 , pero no funciona bien con SharePoint 2007, porque no se refresca la fecha una vez se calcula (con lo cual, el filtro no se actualiza de mes a mes). El anterior artículo, y la presión de mi cliente, me sirvieron de inspiración para la generación de la vista con SPD a través del procedimiento que ilustro a continuación. Software requerido WSS 3.0 o MOSS 2007; No he probado si funciona con Sharepoint Portal 2003 o con WSS 2.0 pero intuyo que sí. Sharepoint Designer: Es necesario para poder editar la vista de datos (data view) Procedimiento Crear una lista de contactos para guardar la información de las personas. En e...

Testing Exceptions in Nunit 4.7

-
I am getting in TDD a lot, and of course, when thinking in border cases, you'll end up throwing exceptions, And you'd want to see ith they get thrown. With Nunit 4.7 the thing is that If, for example, you're testing that some parameter is null, when you decorate your test with [ExpectedException] it eventually gets thrown, but You'll never know what piece of code actually did it... So, I created this little R# snippet to test excxeptions in a more granular way: [Test] public void $TestName$() { try { $Code$ } catch (Exception e) { Assert.That(e, Is.TypeOf(typeof($ExpectedException$))); $END$ return; } Assert.Fail("Did Not Throw the Exception."); } For example, if you want to test if a parameter is null before you excercise some code, you could have a test like this: [Test] public void Intermediary_ParamOneCannotBeNull() { try { new Intermediary(null, null); } catch(Exception e) { Assert.That(e, Is.TypeOf(typeof(ArgumentNullE...

Unity in a webAPI project

-
I have just created a proof of concept for a client where I demo how to configure Microsoft's Unity DI container to resolve the API controllers and their dependencies. The code is available in this github repository. The concepts that I tried to showcase are How to configure Unity in OWIN How to do automatic registration of IObject->Object references. How to use an injectionFactory to resolve object that depedn on dynamic data. Different Lifetime managers Container Controlled (Singleton) Per Resolve (Once per request) Transient (Once per call) Unit testing an application with dependencies Abstracting away the HttpContext from the controller, which is useful for unit testing. Take a look and comment in the blog or in the repo..
