  1. RT @dbelcham: @PeterRitchie if you're not using #resharper you might as well cut your fingers off about 3 hours ago from TweetDeck
  2. Trying to get by using VS without #Resharper. Can't take it; must install #Resharper. about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck
  3. @adymitruk What about in languages that don't have contracts? about 6 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to adymitruk
  4. Is there a standard term for designing code to detect problems at compile-time? about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  5. @kbaley Okay, the using directive... Unless it needs a reference to an assembly, I don't think so... about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to kbaley
  6. BTW, using statement is about IDisposable, and using directive is about importing namespaces... about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  7. @kbaley You were talking about the using statement rather than the user directive, right? about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to kbaley
  8. @lazycoder I haven't checked; but I thought a using directive meant adding a reference to an assembly that had to be checked at startup. about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to lazycoder
  9. ~@bellware That may have startup performance implications (needs to find/load the reference); but I'd have to check for sure... about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  10. @julielermanvt I can't comment on unnatural AND repositories... :P-) about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to julielermanvt
  11. @adymitruk But, I booked the flight already! about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to adymitruk
  12. ~@peterbromberg For clarity, there are some things the C# compiler can optimize within a using block; but the JIT can't... about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  13. ~@kbaley likely you shouldn't care, otherwise you'd have to manage the life of the object yourself and call Dispose appropriately... about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  14. ~@dbelcham How is that any different than my life outside of Twitter? :-) about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  15. ~@kbaley @bellware ...because using is an alias for a try/catch. For more details see http://bit.ly/grGS about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  16. ~@kbaley @bellware Actually, "using" does have a performance penalty. Anything within the using block can't be optimized by the JIT. about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck
  17. @dbelcham Feel free to share with @kristinj, or she can DM me :-) about 9 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to dbelcham
  18. I think it's important to treat your domain model as a framework--with all your other code clients to that framework. about 18 hours ago from TweetDeck
  19. @kbaley "leaning"; Bahamas is not leaning towards Christianity, it's standing in the middle of it. about 18 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to kbaley
  20. @julielermanvt Yeah, that means you can't type ;) about 18 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to julielermanvt
