  • Batching Items with EF 6.0

    Headline: It’s not too hard to batch items with or without async capabilities in Entity Framework (EF) 6.0. Here I have a large number (ok… not in the sample test, but in real life) of items and I’d like to pull them in as in batches rather than wait for all of them to be…

  • Unit Testing HandleErrorAttribute

    Code Analysis doesn’t like the former MVC pattern of using a catch for all errors when updating a model.

  • Showing the Version for an MVC App

    Technorati Tags: MVC,ASP.NET,VS 2010 The primary MVC (Model-View-Controller) application that I’m working on is called KarlZMvc resulting in a dll called KarlZMvc.dll. To get the version output on my Site.Master page I need to include the following line: Code Snippet <{f073afa9b3cad59b43edffc8236236232bb532d50165f68f2787a3c583ed137f}= typeof(KarlZMvc.MvcApplication).Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString() {f073afa9b3cad59b43edffc8236236232bb532d50165f68f2787a3c583ed137f}> I tried all sorts of combinations with the GetExecutingAssembly, or calling, etc.…
