Commented Issue: Add support for entities in ccnet.config

lanceheld — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 23:18:37 GMT

Load ccnet.config with entity resolution so that the following can be loaded:

<!DOCTYPE cruisecontrol [
<!ENTITY Project1 SYSTEM "file:C:\path\to\Project1.xml">
<!ENTITY Project2 SYSTEM "file:C:\path\to\Project2.xml">
]>

<cruisecontrol>
&Project1;
&Project2;
</cruisecontrol>
Comments: ** Comment from web user: lanceheld **

My bad...you can remove this issue.
The file didn't load because one of the referenced files contained malformed XML.

Continuous Integration as Transparency Mandate

C.I. is far more then simply providing 'build success' of your code. If your not doing more, your not doing C.I. as expected in 2008 and beyond.

The standard is offering all who might care transparency into your software's current state. This means (as an example) architectural metrics in real-time across qualitative and quantitative metrics. And it's now very easy to achieve yet many are not aware of this fact.

This also includes the visual display of how metrics are changing over time (via the attractive graph format you see here as an example).

Abbreviated Statistical Providers

Microsoft FxCop Statistics

All FxCop Data Supported

NDepend Architectural Metrics

NOTE: This code has been updated to fully support the new CruiseControl.NET 1.3 Release from ThoughtWorks

CCStatistics allows you to rebuild your historical statistics information from all your legacy build results. This is critical if you add a new statistic to measure, as by 'out of the box' it will not import any existing information. This solves that issue when the data (via XPath) is available. CCStatistics will regenerate your infoirmation just as if you always had the metrc defined!

Agilefactor offers a pre-configured CI server to our partners at no charge. To create this 'best case' CI server for .NET we did a lot of work, and CCStatistics (originally developed by Grant Drake) is one we have evolved significantly from his excellent work. We offer this (with more to come) for the benefit of the CC.NET community.

If you are interested in the full CI build server, we offer that at no cost for our business partners across many industries. Due to specific configuration items required for each environment (such as source code provider configuration, etc.) this is not yet an open source code offering. We do plan on offer more utilities however as they become available.

CCStatistics includes a full API itself that can be leveraged and we plan to evolve into a WCF API in the near term.

Linq Framework Design Guidelines : don’t wait for the book update

Sunday, July 27, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

Do not implement IQueryable without understanding all the performance tradeoffs. · Building and parsing expression trees is expensive and many queries can actually get slower when IQueryable is implemented. · The trade-off is acceptable in the LINQ to SQL case, since the alternative overhead of performing queries in memory would have been far greater than the transformation of the expression to an SQL statement and the delegation of the query processing to the database server.

NHIbernate 2.0 Goes Beta 1 after Microsoft ‘Linq to Entities’ receives ‘vote of no confidence’

Monday, June 30, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

The first official beta for NHibernate 2.0 was released today. After the recent initiative against Microsoft ‘Linq to Entities’ in the form of a web-driven petition for a 'vote of no confidence’, the highly anticipated successor to the well-established NHibernate 1.2. We have been working with 2.0.X since the first alpha, and following the progress of the trunk. In our opinion this beta has the high quality of prior betas and we recommend it for non-critical systems immediately as your risk policy allows. We’re working on a more detailed analysis coming soon on some of the key improvements.

Master Generic Type Constrains : A critical success factor in Linq Development

Friday, June 27, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

An item we often see teams ‘leaving money on the table’ with is a failure to leverage (or leverage fully) generic type constraints. Now with Linq you cannot get away with it anymore as for now, although far more powerful, there are still long lines of complex generic delegate types to navigate.

Fun Code Challenge : C# 3.0 Linq APM Duplicate File Finder

Sunday, June 22, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

Submit an application that will identify and provide a way to remove duplicate files which exist on a user's computer system. Use your imagination and YOU ARE THE DOMAIN EXPERT as we all have a ton of damn duplicates. Make the app YOU WANT (but it must work)If you MUST bother the waterfall process people in this exercise (one of us pretending we just handed you a 500 page spec and NO CHANGES) simply email damon@domaindotnet.com. Technical requirements are: Code must be multi-threaded / Asynchronous in nature and safely show multi-thread access to shared data.For example, make the finding of files split into concurrent smaller executions (A recursive model for tree based traversal anyone?)Our reference solution shown after this challenge takes this approach Be careful about how you store this shared state and if indeed there MUST be contention Even though as stated below we expect at least one unit test proving thread safety if your application can meet the expected result with no change of shared data corruption good for you (hint) I recommend the recent focus of Jeffrey Richter's writings in using Linq Async Enumerators if you need more guidanceLinq in 3.5 (to objects) is requiredNo requirement on the view technology. A detailed Ajax front end will loose to a more efficient and correct console appCode can be submitted as follows:Simply point us to your SVN repository - best case - not requiredNo SourceSafe users allowed (just kidding)...

Update! CruiseControl.net Advanced Metrics - RC1 1.4 Build

Thursday, June 19, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

I finally had time to perform some much needed upgrades to the code base for the qualitative and quantitative metrics for Cruise Control.net continuous integration (a must have in my opinion). I'll be speaking more about it but here is the 'smoke mock/regression test' I just got running, and which all further regression-driven/verification-driven development will occur (not sure which I like better as a phrase but test-driven has got to go... It is so universally misunderstood, misapplied, and misconstrued. Can I get a witness?)... Anyway here's the framework API for now. This will evolve into a full Linq provider (I hope)...

Advanced C# 3.0: Part 3 - New Language Features as ‘Domain Specific’ as well as General Purpose Extensions

Tuesday, May 27, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

One of the compelling directions beyond 'the basics' of domain-driven development is the advent and increasing use of 'DSL' (Domain Specific Language) technology in .NET. We have had a rich set of features since the 2005 release of Visual Studio in the Guidance Automation Toolkit and the DSL Toolkit and these have become even more compelling. However for some needs, the language now may provide enough for many smaller cases. Now that new .NET 3.5 C# 3.0 features are allowing us to make the Framework API of .NET work in ways not present 'out of the box' the scope of what is possible can be deep and broad.

For example, I know I am not alone in wanting an IList (be it an IList or a simple non-generic IList) to provide me a .foreach method as you get in a List). This is just one of many things we address here (and more).

I use a 'pretend pair programming' approach with continued refactoring as this is how I would discuss it if you were coding with me. I'll start with a fairly trivial, yet important example (I use it every day). Many times when comparing Strings I want to ignore case and culture (the InvariantCulture). This is provided by an overload as such as you likely know:

Thursday, May 08, 2008 | From ubiquitous fluency

With .NET 3.5 and C# 3.0 released now, it was time for an update. As part of the update, I also improved the API a little bit. Usage now is: MethodInfo toString = Reflect.GetMethod(x => x.ToString());The renamed Reflect class receives the type you want to reflect as a generic parameter. Then you can use GetMethod, GetField or GetProperty.
