# re: Medium Trust Please???

I would have to say we wait until CS2.1 comes out (that is depending on time, if it is to release in the next month or two, if not, ohh well then). Hopefully it will not be a big issue to migrate.

Also have you thought about what the ramifications are moving the database from one server to another. And all the data we already have? How is that going to work out? Maybe we can try a test migration to EAGLE1 before we actually move our production data.

Just a thought, Dave

# re: Posting to this blog. What to do?!?!!!

I have but I would have to use VPC to run Beta 2 and I dont want to have to fire up VPC when I want to blog.  I am looking forward to it though.  Right now I have settled on PostXIng.  It has some quirks but all in all works well....and its FREE!

# re: What Every Developer Should Know About Character Sets

This was a really cool article about an extremely boring topic. It totally demystified the technology behind character sets, as I always viewed them as some bottled-up black box I shouldn't touch.

Very nice.

# re: What Every Developer Should Know About Character Sets

I'll have to agree with Dan. This was a very insightfull article, which I learned some interesting things, I also did not know anything about.

Thanx a bunch.

# CoVariance, Contravariance and Generics

This post is aresult of an expensive lesson I learned. The situation: A MVP style architecture, Presentation

# re: Covariance, Contravariance and Generics

I'm glad you found my post usefull. You didn't describe what you ended up doing. Did you just give up and go back to casting? My gut feeling is that there should be an elegant generic solution for this sort of design problems. As you know, the power of generics is that they let you deal with more precise type information at compile-time. Equivalently, the burden of generics is that they force you to deal with precise type information at compile-time. Dynamic (run-time bound) patterns you're used to finding natural won't work with generics precisely because generics are an attempt to replace some run-time decisions with compile-time decisions (therefore forcing you to be consistent about those decisions in the source-code). Anyway, some things to think about for a solution here: If you really nead variables of type "IController", perhaps IController should inherit from a non-generic interface IController (the same way IEnumerable inherits from IEnumerable). You won't be able to refer to the exact type of model and view in the non-generic interface, but that is precisely the point - you don't know it! If you want to be able to handle cases where you work with a specific, but undetermined, type of model or view, then you may want a generic method (see the example in my follow-up blog post). I hope this helps, Rick

# re: Covariance, Contravariance and Generics

Rick,

Indeed I did go back to casting. Now re-reading your follow-up post (2 more times), I think that the solution that you are proposing may actually work.  Ill have to play around with when I would use the type as a non generic interface vs. a generic interface.

Thanks for the pointer!

# re: Covariance, Contravariance and Generics Part Deux

Sorry to be a pain but this code isn't correct, for example: vT _view; public vT View { get {return _view; } set { _view = value; } // Obviously stops compilation. set {_model = value; } } There are also other problems, such as: public class TypedModel : IModel { public class TypedModel : IModel { } // class TypedModel Thanks, Colin Jack

# re: Covariance, Contravariance and Generics Part Deux

Colin,

You are right the code is a bit messed up (as I mentioned in the post) but all in all it compiles on my machine ;). Ill get newly formatted code up there soon.

One question: I'll be capable to debug code that uses the object model if i set a remote reference to the assembly "Microsoft.SharePoint.dll"? That's an important thing, because, if not, i'll have to "compile and deploy" every time i have an error in my code. That's right or i'm missing something?

Thanks! I almost sent my new D630 (4GB, Vista x64) back because it kept blue-screening. I also couldn't install VS2008 because of checksum errors verifying the .cab files. Both errors went away after switching from AHCI to ATA.
