Windows7, Resharper 5.1, VS2010 and xunit.contrib problem

July 27th, 2010
Daniel Marbach

Just a short notice. If you are using Resharper 5.1 under Windows7 and xunit.contrib and your unit tests are not executed anymore in VS2010 you need to check the following:

  1. Close all running VS2010 instances
  2. Upgrade to latest xunit.contrib for Resharper 5.1
  3. If you have xunit.contrib under Program Files\Jetbrains\Resharper\..\Bin\Plugins then move them to
    [Root]:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\JetBrains\ReSharper\v5.1\vs10.0\Plugins\XunitContrib
  4. Open VS2010 again and you should be able to run the unit tests in unit test runner of Resharper again.

Hope that helps

July 1st, 2010
Urs Enzler

I’m going to speak about code quality (see my short version of the presentation) at the conference BASTA!

BASTA! is mainly focused on .NET technology and gives you the opportunity to see and speak with a wide range of technology experts.

If you have any feedback of what you are missing in my short presentation, please write a comment here or on the post with the presentation. The short version takes about 30 minutes and my speak at BASTA! is scheduled for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  I will mainly show real life examples of the theory shown in the short version. But if you want to here something specific, ask for it :-)

I’ll probably will publish the long version on this blog, too – for all of you not joining the conference.

So long…

Github: failed to push some refs

January 14th, 2010
Daniel Marbach

I’m heavily experimenting with git using github.com. Just in case you’ll ever receive the following error message:

failed to push some refs

Don’t panic as I did! Just need to make a pull request first because there might be changes that we need to pull in. Afterwards it is easy possible to push your changes to github.com. Have fun!

December 9th, 2009
Daniel Marbach

Just a quick announcement. I wrote together with Alain Baumeler from bbv Software Services AG an article about hybrid application development targeting both .NET and .NET compact framework. The article is written in German and published in the .NET Magazin.

Here is the quick overview of the article:

Hybride Softwareentwicklung in .NET – Einführung in die Vorteile und Patterns der hybriden Softwareentwicklung für .NET Compact und .NET Framework

Mobile Geräte mit Windows Mobile sind trotz zunehmender Konkurrenz bei Businessapplikationen vielfach die erste Wahl. Dieser Artikel führt in die Thematik der hybriden Softwareentwicklung ein und zeigt deren Vorteile und etablierte Patterns anhand von Praxisbeispielen in .NET.
von Daniel Marbach und Alain Baumeler

For those who are interested in mobile application development and fluent in reading German language I really recommend our article! Buy the magazine ;) Thanks for your support.

Thawte Personal Email Certificate discontinued

October 10th, 2009
Daniel Marbach

Since the year 2004 I’m a member of the Web of Trust from Thawte and have been giving trust points to a number of people. To spread the web of trust we did also signing parties at some universities and schools. This era has come to an end! Thawte decided to discontinue the personal e-mail certificate and the web of trust services. Thawte recently published that security compliance requirements have become more restrictive, while the technology infrastructure necessary to meet these requirements has expanded greatly. The effort Thawte had been taking lately to adapt their services to these changes is now for Thawte to high to be taken. As a result Thawte Personal email certificates and the web of trust will be discontinued on November 16, 2009 and will no longer be available after that date.
