The other day I was putting the last touch of a temporary way to manage the NHibernate session (ISession) in Bunian. So part of the task was to bind a method to the HttpApplication EndRequest event (in the Global.asax.cs file) like the following: public override void Init() { this.EndRequest += WorkContext.NHibernateSessionManager.Instance.HttpRequestEnded; } By doing… Read More »
I don’t know whether thank or scold my good friend Omar Qadan for introducing me to Travian, a strategy game played online. It’s amazing how a simple, web-based, HTML-front game can be so rich and vast entertainment wise! It’s a real strategy game where you build villages, resources, armies, embassies, and conduct trading, diplomacy, wars,… Read More »

In traditional architectures there are 3 known layers: Data Access, Business, and Presentation. DTO’s (Data Transfer Objects) are used to carry the data back… Read More »

During the last Bunian team meeting at the beginning of this week, the basic design emerged (still being discussed and subject to changes till… Read More »
recently, we had to clean the database from all the testing data, when an error similar to the following appeared: The value “” is not of type “System.Nullable`1[System.DateTime]” and cannot be used in this generic collection The code I executed was: IQuery query = DbManager.MySession.CreateQuery(“select max(dateObject.EndDate) from DateDomain dateObject”); IList<DateTime?> list = query.List<DateTime?>();… Read More »
