Most of the small or medium IT firms are using the Entity framework for the Data Access layer (DAL). If we write a complex linq to Entity queries performance will always be an issue. But with the Compiled Query Performance can be improved. This below definitions are from MSDN and more details can be found on the MSDN Link that is at the end of this post           When you have an application that executes structurally similar queries many times in the Entity Framework, you can frequently increase performance by compiling the query one time and executing it several times with different parameters. For example, an application might have to retrieve all the QuoteRevision for a particular quotelineStatus, the quotelinestatus is specified at runtime. LINQ to Entities supports using compiled queries for this purpose.               The  compiled query class provides compilation and caching of queries for reuse . Co...

More than last 12 months I am a great sponsor of the test driven development.   But how i become a great devotee of TDD is very much interesting. I was given task to restructure the existing system. This is one of the most important features in our system. When i seen the existing code it was in a malicious situation. Lots of unwanted, complex complicated loops. So before starting the reconstructing the whole team sit together and decided we are going to start something new. It might slow down the process initially but will produce the quality work.   Before witting the method we identified the feature's specification and requirements and exception handling phases. Then test cases   are   written   based on the requirement.   Then started working on the methods based on the test cases. First the entire test will fail because the method is written afterward. Test method example public void MethodWeAretesting_DescriptionOfInput_ReturnValueAndExpec...

The main purpose of MVC pattern is to decouple the graphical user interface (GUI) from the data.It gives the ability to provide multiple views for the same data. MVC pattern separates objects into three important sections: Model It is specially for maintaining the data. Its is actually where your business logic, querying database, etc are implemented. This section is represented by data view, dataset, typed dataset, business components, business entity model etc. This section can be tied upto either windows application or web UI. Views Displaying all or some portions of data, or probably different view of data. View is responsible for look and feel, sorting, etc. ASPX, ASCX, or windows application UI etc. Controller They are event handling section, which affect either model or view. In ASP.NET the Code behind.

Whats  Shouldserialize? Shouldserialize is an optional method that you can provide for a property, if the property does not have a simple default value. Why I used this in my project  In  fortnight period, some projects broken several times because,  some properties defined as nullable and do not have any default value.
