Coding Adventure

Basically, with Unity, I ended up writing something like this (simplified version) :

IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();

container.RegisterType<IRiskRepository, RiskRepository>();

string conn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

container.Configure<InjectedMembers>().ConfigureInjectionFor<RiskRepository>(new InjectionConstructor(conn));

UnityControllerFactory factory = new UnityControllerFactory(container);

ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(factory);

Unity turned out to work very well. I was able to save a lot of lines of code and it is greatly improving the testability of the dynamic modules I am using on the mock project architecture. Also, it was easy to set up. Its a good alternative to the other more popular IOC.

Sometimes we have to implement code that is only meant to work for us as developers and not the our clients. That is when conditional debug comes to play. Using conditional debug it is possible to only allow some functions to be called only if the project is running in debug mode.

I found it useful on the following scenarios:

• Impersonation – change my context to a specific user contex.
• Tracing/Profiling
• Testing

[Conditional("DEBUG")]

  public void OnlyRunIfUnderDebug(string person)
       {
           //replace context with person's arguments context
           //profiling
           //testing
           //etc
       }
