@marc:

Glad you’re enjoying the content. re: the CodeRush stuff, the transition from private to public on the method you’re in (or the var declaration your cursor is on, or the class you’re in, etc., etc.) that’s a standard CodeRush keystoke, you’ll be happy to know. If you hit ALT+up arrow or ALT+down arrow you will cycle thru either ‘increasing accessibility’ (the up-arrow) or decreasing accessibility (the down-arrow) for the member your cursor is in-scope on.

The little trick to this (that I’m using in the videos and all the time in my real work) is that if you’re already at ‘private’ (the most-limited accessibility value) and you hit ALT+down arrow the accessibility of the member will ‘loop back’ to the top of the accessibility list (which, of course, is ‘public’). This little ‘trick’ works in both directions, it turns out, so you can always use ALT+up arrrow to go from ‘public’ to ‘private’ and ALT+down arrow to go from ‘private’ direct to ‘public’. FYI, this is actually all in the CodeRush integrated HELP/docs window and I *strongly* recommend anyone using CodeRush take some time and actually READ the whole file — its COMPLETELY chock-full of all kinds of this stuff. The only reason I even discovered this capability was that I watched someone do something similar with Resharper and thought “there must be a way to do this with CodeRush too” and found it in the manual.

Re: the re-org of the class source, that’s a (freeware) DXcore addin called CR_ClassCleaner and I talk about it at length in this post:

http://unhandled-exceptions.com/blog/index.php/2008/07/16/confessions-of-a-developer-tool-hound/

…where I also point out some gotchas about what you need to do to get it working under the latest version of DXCore (that you will no-doubt have if you also have a current version of CodeRush/Refactor Pro! on your system).

Hope this helps (even if its a bit long for a comment reply ).

Thank you for your very clear explanations.
Your screencasts are excellent!
I would love to hear your thoughts about Linq vs NHibernate.

This is what the community needs. Thank you for promoting good values.

I love the videos you have provided for NHibernate, the vidoes are perfect. Best training vidoes I’ve ever seen. Will you consider making vidoes on WCF?
Thanks for all your hard work

Hi Steve,

I’m pretty much a learn-a-holic too. Thats what lead me to your excellent NHibernate videos and also the Agile videos you have planned. Looking forward to those.

I’m trying to learn ways to learn better. Got the idea from the book Pragmatic Thinking and Learning. Good book; plants a seed.

We never really learn how to learn, it’s something we just take for granted we can do, and obviously we can learn, but is there a better way? Thats a rhetorical question I’m using to just pass on an idea.

Take it easy.

Kudos on your work, Steve. Although I’m discouraged you never really mention the true reasons for all your knowledge, i.e. your roommate for two years at OSU. 😉

Hi Stephen,

This is truly excellent! I have been struggling with nhibernate for quite some time. As an ex-JAVA developer your series is phenomenal. Your efforts in putting this together have helped me out.

Steve,

Are you planning to post some more videos on Nhibernate ?

Thanks,
Ashwin

Hi Steve,

I’m watching your “Summer of NHibernate” videos and I must admit they are amazing (little bit problems because I’m using an up to date version of mbUnit ) thank you for showing to us this great screencasts, but I’m on session 3 and I need the original test data, I mean on the first source code file (from session 1) you have the script to create the database _without_ the data, I was wondering if you have a script which includes the data used for unit testing.

BTW I have the NHibernate in Action book but the book and your screencasts should be included in the same package the book as a reference and your videos as the actual course 😉

Thanks,
Mocte

OMG ! What a silly question I should have realized that the data was on an XML file on the source code archives before asking 😉

Thank you, I’m going back to NHibernate sessions.

Regards,
Mocte

Hi Steve,

What an amazing series this is. Its simply awesome. I discovered y’day and have been hooked up to it and have watched pretty much non-stop and just finished it. I never had good perception about ORMs but now I am sold.

Have a question related to session 10 (inheritance). In your GetCustomersWithFirstName test, you showed us that even if we are querying for Customer, it returns both Customer as well as PreferredCustomer. Suppose I don’t need to fetch PreferredCustomerSince and DiscountRate properties rather fetch ONLY Customer properties, is there a way to implement that. So basically, I still want the query to return 3 Customer objects, but ONLY return Customer objects, not 2 Customer and 1 PreferredCustomer as it does today.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Steve,

First of all I need to thank you for the excellent videos you have posted.

I am not sure if this is the right way to contact you, but I have listened to all the videos you posted on Nhibernate and loved it. It was while ago that I saw all the 15 videos. Now armed with that knowledge you provided, I set out to create a website for my colleague this month and now I am getting stuck with problems.

I started using NHibernateSessionPerConversationModule.cs and everytime there is a page request for some reason the Application_BeginRequest gets fired twice. And it ends up throwing the follwoing messages.

1) Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

When I dig deeper here is what i see in the follwoing error messages

base {System.NotSupportedException} = {“This operation requires IIS integrated pipeline mode.”}

CurrentNotification = ‘HttpContext.Current.CurrentNotification’ threw an exception of type ‘System.PlatformNotSupportedException’

Iam using Visual studio 2008 on my windows 7 laptop and IIS server ( Version 7.5.7600.16358 ) . Am not sure if I have to change any settings in the integrated webserver of VS 2008.

Apart from this, I have a few other simple questions

I have a Load table and a Customer Table and a Load Type table.

Now Load table has a foreign Key to both Customer table and Load Type table. So basically in the Load object that gets generated using Mygeneration tool, I get a properties of Customer object and LoadType object and in the Load.hbm.xml
we have the follwoing

Now when I insert, a new row into the Load table using Nhibernate, in order for the foreign keys ( customerId and loadTypeid ) to get populated ( with existing rows in the Customer and LoadTypetable ) should I always need to retrieve the existing cutomer object and existing Loadtype object and then add to the Load object and do a Save() on it ?

Is there any way I can just insert the CustomerId and LoadTypeID like

Load Ld = new Load();
Ld.Customer = 1;
Ld.LoadType = 2;

instead of

Load Ld = new Load();
Ld.Customer = CustomerDataProvider.GetById(1);
Ld.LoadType = LoadTypedataProvider(2);

Hoping for some help and thanks in advance.

Ashwin

Dear Steve,

What a great person you are because you are sharing knowledge and in a ways which so easy to digest. I loved your screen casts on Summer of NHibernate.

I would love to say Thank you very very much from my side and from every person who benefited from these videos. They are great pieces of work.

Yours Sincerely,

Ittar Waqas

Steve, thank you so much, you’re just a wonderful teacher.
Lectures are excellent. By the way, why do they not publish on pluralsight.com? I think, a lot of people must to see it =)

Hi Steve, you video is really helpful, excellent instructor.
Thank you so much.

Greetings from Canada

Hmm it appears like your wesbite ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for beginner blog writers? I’d genuinely appreciate it.

So well explained incredible article, any buddy can follow it, thanks and keep up the great work. All the contents you mentioned in post are too good and can be very useful, Thanks
