Comment on Dijkstra’s Three Golden Rules by KenR

Sorry to hear about the EWD’s being down. I can’t imagine it will stay down for long.

As for OOP, I can’t find the exact quote I remember, but I agree with the OCaml folks pragmatic viewpoint on OOP vs. modules

It all comes down to what form of extensibility you want going forward.

Comment on Resharper 4.0 good news and a little WPF databinding by KenR

Do a Google blog search on Resharper and you’ll find all sorts of details about Resharper that people love. Is it worth the money? I’m not thrilled about their upgrade policies (no maintenance available and 4.0 will be the 3rd paid upgrade in less than 2 years), but yes, it’s absolutely worth the money. Try the trial version and see if you like it—IIRC it’s 30 days and I can vouch that the earlier versions at least uninstalled cleanly while I was evaluating them.

Anyone know if EWDs archives are mirrored someplace – cs.utexas.edu is off the air. My favorite Dijkstra-ism

Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea which could only have originated in California.

I’m looking into buying resharper but don’t know a whole lot about the
product. Is it worth spending the money.
What are the weaknesses and strengths .. i.e. what type of code redundancies can resharper fix ? (their page is kind of fuzzy about that )
Or .. if you know a link that has all this info . just send me an email .. and forget about this post

Comment on Consuming a WCF service from Flex Builder 3 by Mario

Mario — Thu, 22 May 2008 08:01:54 +0000

Hello ken.
I need to comunicate Flex with .Net through WCF. I’m using basicHttpBinding but Flex Builder 3 can´t generate proxies. I think it doesn’t recognize the wsdl. I used http://MySite/MyService.svc?wsdl and also a mexHttpBinding but nothing worked. Client machine can show the service wsdl through IE.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Hi Ilya—I left more details in a ReSharper feedback submission yesterday, but I know the two main constructs that were flagged as errors were related to scoping on “let” and “join”. Later uses of the bindings introduced by each were flagged as errors. I don’t have access to code at the moment, but I’ll send along a few actual queries later.

Could you please give us some examples of “non-trivial LINQ queries inside of static methods”, which ReSharper doesn’t understand? Thanks.
