Recently I got the question if Structurizer could be used with anonymous types for flattening of object-graphs for logging. I've had the similar need, producing a key-value representation of some object graphs for the sake of logging and analytics. So lets have a look if we can build this with a few lines of code using Structurizer. Struc…

Recently I heard of the need of taking two typed objects and producing the delta of their properties. So lets look at a simple solution to an object compare that inspects the complete graph of two objects and produces a result of properties that doesn't match. I have a simple project: "Structurizer" (GitHub and NuGet), that turns an objec…

We have all seen them. The strings lying around here and there in the code base. Some times at least exposed as constants in the class. But what else can you do? Well, you can have things like dedicated constant classes or key masters or value-objects or just allow the user to easily pick a value using a simple Func<,>. Before looki…

Today, I was looking around in the source code of a project on GitHub and noticed some reflection used to extract methods. The methods in turn were used to apply state to instances during aggregations and projectins. I found out that the access path to the code only were once per aggregate/projection type and that the reflected methods in…

Using ConfigureAwait(false) is said to be a recommendation for e.g. third party library authors. Why? Well, lets say you are building a ASP.Net API hosted via IIS and consume a library that offers an async API for e.g. I/O bound work. When using it you "manage" to introduce a blocking call via e.g. Task.Result higher up the call stack and…
