Visual Rx - Part 5 this post is part of the Visual Rx series and it will focus on controlling the Visual Rx publication on the coding part. you can see this series TOC in here . I was talking about enabling / disabling the Visual Rx publication (through the predefine publication channel), using the VirtualRxSettings.Enable property, in part 1 of this series. Enable / Disable let look at a Enable / Disable snippet: Code Snippet Task < VisualRxInitResult > info = VisualRxSettings .Initialize...
Visual Rx - Part 4 this post is the 4th of the Visual Rx post series. this post will focus on the communication channel settings . you can see this series TOC in here . at the time I'm writing this post there is 4 available communication channel (out of the box). Wcf discovery - will try to dynamically locate the end point of the viewer service (or any other discoverable service which apply to the Visual Rx contract). this is the easiest proxy and it is recommended to local network scenarios...

Visual Rx is a bundle of API and a Viewer which can monitor and visualize Rx datum stream (at run-time). one of the challenge of any Rx solution is reasoning about the datum flow at run-time , the Visual Rx bundle is a perfect solution for this problem. Visual Rx was design for minimal performance penalty , which make it...
MEF - Best Practice In this post I will offer MEF practice that may ease your MEF life . one of the MEF headache is to understand what's goes wrong, when MEF reject the composition , you can read more about MEF diagnostic in this post. Most of the obscure loading failure happens when your Export dependencies doesn't satisfied . in those case you solely relay on the MEF error message which is not enough in cases of deep dependencies graph. It will normally occurs when you are...
SDP - MEF (Real-Life patterns) On the last day of the SDP at Crown Plaza Hotel, Tel Aviv. I was lecturing about Real-Life scenario of MEF failures . the lecture was focusing on diagnostic , solutions and testing . I want to thanks all attendant's, It was the after lunch session and you were bravely kept your eyes open. the presentation pdf can be found here . you can use the following check-list as recommended diagnostic process . Diagnostic Check-List Is the instance included...
Testing and Debugging MEF , avoiding misconceptions - Part 3 this is the 3rd post of this series and it will discuss common misconceptions which may lead unexpected behavior and long debugging nights. Initialization issues the first misconception occurs when developer are trying to access imported property at construction time. NullReferenceException [ Export ] public class MyPlugin { public MyPlugin() { // the logger import doesn't satisfied yet // the next line will result with NullReferenceException...
Testing and Debugging MEF, Tips - Part 2 this is the second post of a series that will offer some tips about testing and debugging your MEF -able component and application. in this post we will focus about debugging the most common, and most confusing, MEF failure . Assembly Loading Failure the most common MEF runtime failure occurs because of missing assembly which contain the MEF parts (Import, Export) or the parts dependencies (like 3rd party components). under the hood MEF...
