Testing 64-bit Oracle using Visual Studio
I have installed 64-bit Oracle 11g on my development machine to work on some samples using Entity Framework 4.1 (a.k.a. “code first”). If you ask me why I installed 64-bit version and not 32-bit, I will not answer. I don’t know. Perhaps because Oracle...

If somebody wants more from the program you wrote, it’s a good sign. It means that at last you did something useful :-) Recently my colleague mentioned that the utility that I wrote to generate project solution file should support creation of solution...
Improving code quality using NDepend
We are often too liberal adding project references. In our team I’ve sent once a warning that every time an assembly reference is added to a project, an angel gets killed, but Norway does not seem to be very religious country. Recently we’ve even had...
Utility to generate Visual Studio solution file for a group of projects
I wanted to analyze our company projects with NDepend and ran NDepend on a couple of our solutions. While it produced very interesting reports (I will try to cover results of NDepend analysis in one of my following posts), I've found that the solution...
