ASP.NET 2.0 DropDownList EnableViewState

In ASP.NET 2.0 the DropDownList EnableViewState doesn't work the same as other controls like GridView. Fortunately Anson Goldade created one that does. You can learn how here: http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/DotNet/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.webcontrols/2006-02/msg00149.html

.NET generics with private accessors not compatible with MSTest

Was playing around with generics and suddenly my unit test project failed with this error: “Signature of the body and declaration in a method implementation do not match.” After some research I found a post here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vststest/thread/b54e6634-1542-4bd8-a227-029bfb679dec that explained my problem was using a private on a generic class, and was a known bug that will not be fixed in VS 2010 as explained here https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=415357 .  Changed the private to public and was able to carry on.

Interface Oriented Code Organization(IOCO)

Image
When I started experimenting with TDD  and specifically writing the test first, I had a sudden realization as I began to contemplate where should I place this new test I was about to create.  I realized that the simplest place for the test would be in a folder structure that matched the UI for a web app or the API for a web API, and then quickly realized it would be helpful to have the production code folder structure match as well. I had been working on several large complex code bases, some web apps, and some web APIs, and trying to find the code that needed to change or where to add new code wasn't obvious from the code organization. The code was organized in the layered architecture style with UI layer, Service Layer, Repository Layer, etc. kind of like the structure Microsoft uses in  "Traditional N-Layer architecture applications" . With folders for Controllers, Views, ViewModels, etc. This architecture-oriented code organization(AOCO) is really good at telling you
