remember the rule to always derive custom exceptions from ApplicationException? so you thought that the CLR never throws an ApplicationException? Krzysztof Cwalina (co-author of Brad Adams in the famous Framework Design Guidelines book) blogs about the exception (pun) here .

I noticed that Resharper 2.0 highlighted (meaning it is against a rule) a call to a virtual method in a constructor in one of my business objects. It gave me the following information information in msdn ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182331.aspx ) Looking at the sample code from the link...

anybody who is also using this construct for string properties? we rarely want our string properties to be null and since it is a reference type, we have to have handling for it. can you see any disadvantage of such construct? [code language="C#"] public string StringProperty { get { return _stringProperty;...

Brad Adams explains why the ArgumentNullException class violates the Design Guidelines here for not following the exception constructor patterns. http://blogs.msdn.com/brada/search.aspx?q=argumentnullexception&p...

I've seen a part of this (Brad Adams presentation on Naming) perhaps a month ago, I just discovered that it is a part of a good set of webcasts worth seeing. Can't wait to see Brian Pepin's presentation (design time guru). http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/classlibraries/

I was reading Steve McConnell's first edition of Code Complete and the book is highly recommended. Although the sample uses old languages like pascal and c, and some topics does not apply to current programming languages, I love the way he presents his arguments on how to do things the right way. Although...

I started programming with C and used Hungarian notation since then. It was very helpful back then to instantly know what type the variable is from its name. When I started programming in .NET using Visual Studio, Intellisense made a major breakthrough and helped a lot. You just point your mouse over...
