YACP - Yet Another CodePlex Project
It´s absolutely amazing how big is the capacity of Project Bhal of generating another projects as it´s offspring.
Today I created another one of those projects (they amount to 4 as of now: Wom, NMVP, Validation Everywhere and now NhbBusiness).
NHibernate Business Layer is a project that aims at making your experience while using NHibernate a lot easier, since it does a lot of the undercover dirty work for you.
As I already know that what you people like is code, here it is!
You want to create a new project? How about this:
1: //Creating a new project
2: ProjectManager projectManager = new ProjectManager();
3: projectManager.BeginTrans();
4: Project pr = projectManager.SaveNewProject(projectName, projectDescription);
5: projectManager.Commit();
6:
7: //The SaveNewProject method
8: public Data.Project SaveNewProject(string name, string description) { 9: Data.Project project = new Data.Project();
10: project.Name = name;
11: project.Description = description;
12: Save(project);
13:
14: return project;
15: }
Oh I see! What you really want is just to load a collection of all the projects in the database! So here it is:
1: //Loading all projects
2: ProjectManager projectManager = new ProjectManager();
3: IList<Project> projects = projectManager.GetAll();
Hmmm... You actually want all the projects that are named "Project Cool"... Well, that should give you just one, but hey, it´s your request! Here you go:
1: //Loading all projects
2: ProjectManager projectManager = new ProjectManager();
3: List<ICriterion> crit = new List<ICriterion>();
4: crit.Add(ProjectManager.Filter.Equal("Name","Project Cool")); 5: IList<Project> projects = projectManager.LoadCollection(crit);
There´s a lot more from where these came from, but hey I gotta find some time to develop, and time has been hard to find (the loop at the title of this blog has just finished!!!).
Anyway, I have now 6 open-source projects to manage and keep releasing! And I will keep releasing them! Today I almost finished (and started) NhbBusiness! I finished the functionality and achieved 45% of Code Coverage. Once I reach 95%+ Code Coverage I´ll release it. And then I´ll release NMVP shortly after it.
I feel today that I´m in debt with you guys! I have 6 projects and none of them has reached Production state, but that´s just because Bhal keeps growing every time I start developing for it... It keeps giving me ideas for frameworks that will help it´s development! I hope that these frameworks will help you guys too (and gals of course hehehe)!
If I am in debt I am sorry and I´ll do my best to keep releasing each of these projects. Even though I want to release them bad, I´ll only release them once they have at least Code Coverage and FxCop evidence that allows me to release! So please be patient... That´s all I ask... If anyone has anything they´d like to say about one of those projects, or help them get released, please join the team or leave a message at the forums!
