I for the first time in my life downloaded a little tool, loved it and payed for it. The name of the tool (and site is): All To MP3 Converter This tool lets you convert different music formats from and to each other. This is as easy as to right click a file and choose convert. There is also a...

Albert (or Abbe for short) is growing and in equal parts impressing and driving us mad. This morning we’ve got the first ever laugh (a very short burst of hehe) which was very rewarding. We’re not quite sure on what we did to make him laugh but he has been in a excellent mood all weekend, so we’ll keep trying...

Steven Mead has premiered a new work for euphonium and symphony orchestra that seems to become a classic. You can read about it here and also download it (1, 2 and 3 movements) and hear some contemporary euphonium playing at its best. I am humbled and will stay in my “neighborhood” (Salvation Army music, Brass Band) for quite some time....

OK - this last two weeks has been intense. I’ve started a new project at my customer and it is wild; I am Scrum master (nothing new there;) it’s the only way to fly) in a pilot project to create a true SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) at my customer (a big Swedish insurance company). I am very humbled by the...

The things that you needs to “fill out” is highlighted with some scary green color (see picture above). In Visual Studio: After the snippet...

The previous post about CLS-compliant classes is right in a way but the real answer lies in that when you create a test project with Visual Studio, the created Assembly is marked as CLS-compliant. This is done in the AssemblyInfo.vb (or .cs depending on your choice). I am not quite sure on why this is done but can imagine that...

OK - here is a strange one… [UPDATE ON THIS POST - SEE https://www.marcusoft.net/2008/03/real-answere-type-typename-is-not-cls.html] We are using dependency injection to be able to inject mocked version of classes that the class we’re testing is using…. (oh, my god - requires another blog-post I think… I’ll get back). So the first thing we did was to extract interfaces for all the...

Ooh - so nice. And so easy now when I know how to do it… When you get large solutions and there are loads and loads of files in the Solution Explorer you’ll sometimes (often, in my case) get confused on where you are… I organize my projects in Solution Folders but still get quite hard to follow, especially when...

I’ve been rightly informed, by several people that my postings with code in it messes up my complete site when viewed on Firefox. This has to do with the following issue http://unbecominglevity.blogharbor.com/blog/_archives/2006/9/10/2312849.html Should be fixed now…
