  1. Introducing Truffler – Advanced search made easy

Last week during a presentation at a user group I showed the project that me and my two partners Henrik Lindström and Marcus Granström have been working on for quite a while now – Truffler.

  2. Detecting mouse and keyboard input with .NET

    Posted December 15 2010. 0 comments. Recently I built a small .NET application with WPF that needed to detect system-wide mouse and keyboard input. In order to do so I had to do some low-level hooks from .NET into Windows. In this post I discuss how I did them and offer some downloadable sample code.

  3. A simple example of the Open/Closed Principle

    Posted July 13 2010. 13 comments. The Open/Closed Principle says that we should strive to write code that doesn’t have to be changed every time the requirements change. When using Java, C# or other statically typed languages the solution often involves inheritance and polymorphism, which is what this simple example illustrates.

  4. Performing and Testing Redirects with ASP.NET Web Forms MVP

    Posted April 05 2010. 3 comments. The ASP.NET Web Forms MVP project helps us build more testable web sites. One of the hardest things to (unit) test when using ASP.NET Web Forms has traditionally been redirects as they are performed on the Http Context. When we use Web Forms MVP, which uses the HttpContextBase class, we can, with the help of test doubles quite easily test redirects. In this tutorial I show two ways to implement a unit test for a presenter method that performs a redirect when a condition has been met.

    Posted March 29 2010. 26 comments. By using Inversion of Control we are able to build more flexible and well designed applications. In this simple introduction I quickly describe, using examples in C#, what IoC is and how we can implement it using either Dependency Injection or Service Locator.

  6. Twitter style paging with ASP.NET MVC and jQuery

    Posted October 20 2009. 18 comments. I really like the simplicity of the AJAX paging at Twitter so I decided to use the same type of paging on the start page on this site. It actually surprised me how simple it was to build it, including fallback for visitors that doesn’t have javascript enabled, with ASP.NET MVC and a few lines of javascript with jQuery.
