This is not so much a language feature but the compiler now does a fairly good job of code path analysis.

I still haven't decided on a name for this project, but the compiler itself is coming along nicely and now supports static members, virtual properties, the using statement and more...

Part II of describing what's been implemented in this language compiler I'm working on.

As mentioned in my previous post I've made some pretty good progress on this little language I'm working on.

If JavaScript is the "assembly language of the web", then there really needs to be a better compiler for it. And since I can't find one I like, I thought I'd have a crack at writing one myself...

In the spirit of PetaPoco, PetaTest is a tiny, embeddable, self-contained, dependency free unit testing framework for .NET and Mono.

PetaPoco now supports partial record updates where you can specify a subset of columns to update. What's more, the T4 template generated classes can now track and update just the columns that have been modified.

PetaPoco now supports Multi-Poco mapping where one row in a result set can be mapped onto two or more POCOs. But how do we handle one-to-many and many-to-one relationships?

PetaPoco v4 is almost ready. Here's a write up on what's new and changed.

Piehead recently blogged "Why startups could use .NET but don't". Since Showcase Lane is written in ASP.NET MVC I thought I'd share why I chose this route and and how it turned out in the end.

I've been testing Showcase Lane on a production server for about a week now and it's starting to build up some content. Here's some more screen shots.

PetaPoco now has experimental support for mapping result sets onto more than one POCO type, giving yet another way to handle SQL joins.

I've just pushed the first beta version of Showcase Lane. There's also some more information in the form of frequently asked questions.

Showcase Lane - a new site for web designers and developers - is getting very close.

PetaPoco version 3 is now available incorporating lots of minor changes - one of which is not backwards compatible requiring clocking the major version number.

PetaPoco now supports queries on single column scalar values - eg: db.Query<long>(...). And some minor bug fixes.
