How to add dynamic compilation to your C# projects?

Dynamic compilation is an awesome feature to add to your projects. Especially frameworks will benefit from the compilation of dynamic expressions and scripts. There are two main ways of doing it: the Code DOM Compiler or the Roslyn project. In this blog I will show how to implement them both.

Adding named events to your TypeScript classes (Part 4)

Need to add named event support to your class? Implement the IEventHandling interface or extend from the abstract EventHandlingBase class. In this tutorial I explore how you can give your class named events.

Strongly Typed Events in TypeScript using an event list (Part 3)

In this tutorial I explore how an event list can be used to support scenarios with classes with a multitude of events. There is a way to decrease the number of private backing variables using an EventList object.

Using strongly typed events in TypeScript with interfaces (Part 2)

In a previous tutorial I explained how events can be implemented as properties on a class using Strongly Typed Events for TypeScript. Let’s explore how these work on interfaces. Interfaces work a little different, because they don’t have getters and setters on them (at least nog in TypeScript 1.8). Let’s explore how these work on interfaces.

Strongly typed event handlers in TypeScript (Part 1)

As a C# programming I have a lot of interest in the TypeScript project. Lately I’ve been playing around with it to look what it can do. I found myself in need of some event handling, so I decided to build something that looks like the event handling .Net gives you.

Auto fill settings objects with .config values

Lately I’ve been playing around with some API’s. Most of them need a bunch of settings that I’m storing them in my config files. I found myself doing the same work over and over again: creating a settings class, filling the class with information and using it. So I came up with a way to leverage reflection to fill my setting classes with .config values.

How to debug a StackOverflow crash in a .Net application on an IIS (production) server?

Today we had a problem on the server: our app was causing the application pool to crash. Windows error reporting didn’t give a clear result of what was causing a stack overflow exception within the app. No stack-trace, no nothing. So how to solve a problem like this?

Convert HTML to SVG using CloudConvert and C#

HTML is often easier to generate than SVG. Can it be converted to SVG? I’ve found a cloud service with an API that does a nice job converting various formats: CloudConvert. I ended up implementing a small part of their API to do the conversion.

Whipping WPExplorer’s Blogger Template into shape

I recently switched to WPExplorer’s Bogger Template, because it is simple and focused on the articles. What’s not to love? But there is still a lot to do to whip this template into shape. To help you out, I’ve created this post.

Login Credentials Generator – in JavaScript

Many small applications need to store user credentials, but it’s hard to create a good username/password infrastructure. What if you could just use a small XML file with credentials that don’t actually stores the password, but just a hash and some salt.

For a small cloud project I ended up creating such a solution. This blog explains how to generate the credentials that can be stored in the XML. The aim is to make a solution that works on the client using JavaScript.
