In my last post I have described a workaround for using a FileTable in Entity Framework 6.0. In this post I would like to show you the results of performance test of storing big documents in sql FileTable.
By Mirek on (tags: Entity Framework, FILETABLE, SQL, categories: architecture)FileTable is a great new feature in SQL Server 2012 which facilitates storing and working with unstructured blob data in SQL Server. Unfortunately is not yet supported in Entity Framework, so you cannot simply use FileTable in your entity model. But there is a workaround for this inconvenience, which I am going to show you in this post.

This however applies only to properties that reference other related entity type. The framework does not support lazy loading of scalar or primitive properties. But there is a trick to fill this lack quite easily.

By Mirek on (tags: async, TAP, categories: architecture)Recently we moved our main WPF project to .net framework 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012. Then when I tried to preview some of basic views in Visual Studio designer I faced some strange problems. We have several user controls that we use in our views.
By Mirek on (tags: .net 4.5, user control, Visual Studio 2012, WPF, categories: architecture)We’ve been using semantic versioning for a while now and it’s been paying out. Though there were some ‘quirks’. Now, version 2.0 is (almost) out and guess what, it addresses them! Let’s take a look at the new version and see what changed.
By eidias on (tags: versioning, categories: architecture)More precisely how can we cache UI elements, since the property I’m going to describe is located at UIElement class, to improve the performance of the WPF control.
