Jon Toigo, Chairman, Data Management Institute; Sushant Rao, Sr. Director of Product Marketing, DataCore Software
Mar 31 2015
47 mins
Hyper-converged storage is turning out to be the buzz phrase of the storage industry in 2015, one with as many confusing and contradictory definitions as there are vendors. In theory, the combining of server and storage tiers into a single entity should deliver better application performance and lower infrastructure costs. In practice, your mileage will vary.
Join us for this webinar where industry expert Jon Toigo – chairman and co-founder of the Data Management Institute – will help to identify key criteria for making the right infrastructure decision for your business. Mr. Toigo will offer his key criteria in selecting a hyper-converged infrastructure model and he will survey the offerings of leading vendors to identify the "gotchas," trade-offs and lock-ins of each option so you find the best fit for your company.

Mar 26 2015
59 mins
With data breaches and data leakage incidents becoming front page news, cyber investigations are taking on more importance within organizations. This calls for a new set of skills to be developed such as the ability to work with all levels of law enforcement, lawyers and attorneys and within the judicial system. Many of these investigations will call for the cybersecurity practitioner to be a witness and give testimony. What's the best way to do this to protect yourself and the organization, while also providing the information that will help law enforcement and the justice system to get the information they need? Join (ISC)2 on March 26, 2015 at 1:00PM Eastern for our next "From the Trenches" webcast where we'll talk about what it means to be an expert witness and the best practices for serving as one.

Tips and Techniques for Serum-free Expansion of hMSCs
Brian Posey
Mar 26 2015
53 mins
There is a great interest in application of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in cell therapy and tissue engineering due to their self-renewal, multi-lineage differentiation, immunomodulation, and trophic potential. One of the challenges faced in the clinical application of hMSCs is the need for efficient expansion of these cells in vitro without altering their capacity. Serum-free mammalian cell culture media, in particular, require optimization of the expansion protocols. Even subtle changes in routine handling can have a significant impact on the cells' potential.
This seminar will cover the variables that can influence the desired regenerative and differentiation properties including medium selection, vessel surface treatment, impact of the cell source, and seeding density. We will also discuss how users can select the correct conditions for optimized growth and functionality.
Speaker Biography:
Brian Posey is a Product Development Manager for cell culture media at Corning Life Sciences. Brian has over 10 years experience in cell biology and industrial scale cGMP manufacturing of both liquid and powder cell culture media. Since joining Corning in 2012, Brian has lead numerous innovative technology projects for the media business ranging from customer technology transfer for production scale-up to developing new serum-free media for industrial and stem cell lines.

Sutter Health: Leveraging Predictive Analytics to Lower 30-Day Readmit Rates
Kristen Wilson-Jones, RD&D CTO, Sutter Health; David Chao, Director of Industry Solutions, MuleSoft
Mar 26 2015
36 mins
Sutter Health is a not-for-profit health system serving more than 100 communities in Northern California. Each year its 5,000 physicians care for more than 10 million outpatient visits and discharge more than 200,000 in-patients.
As healthcare systems transition from "fee for service" to "fee for value" reimbursement models, there is an increasing focus to drive down 30-day re-admission rates, particularly for high risk patients. To this end, Sutter Health is piloting Project RED (Re-engineered Discharge) which leverages predictive analytics to identify high-risk patients and then prescribes alternative discharge workflows aimed at lowering the risk of re-admission.
Join us as Kristen Wilson-Jones, Sutter RD&D CTO, shares how Sutter Health has leveraged MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform in an orchestrated plecosystem of technologies to power Project RED by enabling real-time patient risk scoring, clinical workflow management and bi-directional integration with Epic.
Topics covered
+ How Sutter Health is lowering 30-day re-admission rates by re-engineeing clinical workflows
+ The need for connectivity to enable workflow re-design
+ Best practice in moving from an application-centric to a data object-centric connectivity approach

Rob Riley, Business & Decision Principal Consultant
Mar 25 2015
35 mins
Lync 2013 (soon to be Skype for Business) is commonly known as an instant messaging client that includes voice and video capabilities within the enterprise. However, its ability to cross enterprise network boundaries and reach colleagues, partners, and customers across the globe via mobile phones or traditional telephony systems is often overlooked.

Join us on Wednesday, March 25th at 2pm EST to learn about the capabilities of Lync Enterprise Voice, ways to implement it as a cost savings to your business, the impact of the launch of Skype for business and how the progression of enterprise voice collaborative tools are changing the way we run our businesses today.
Key Takeaways:

•How can Lync Enterprise Voice be implemented

NHS governance in a rapidly evolving landscape of health and social care
May 22 2015
10:00 am
90 mins
Paul Stanton, visiting Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at De Montford University, Leicester
By the third week of May we should all know the composition of the next government. Whichever party or parties assume power, the next government will need urgently to confront a demand resource collision that threatens the continued existence of the welfare state and of the NHS itself.
It has long been apparent that, as the House of Lords Select Committee on Public Service and Demographic Change made clear in 2013: "England has an inappropriate model of health and social care to deal with the needs of an ageing population ... By 2030 the number of people who are 85+ will have increased by 100%' compared to 2010".
The argument for greater coherence and integration of health and social care commissioning and provision is driven as much by considerations of coherence and quality as it is by financial necessity. As the Five Year Forward View has already made clear there may be 'local choice between radical options', but not a choice between the maintenance of the status quo and a radical option. For NHS commissioners and providers (across all specialisms) the challenge is to grasp the opportunity to shape new local forms of integrated commissioning and service development.
The NHS organisations that survive and thrive in such a rapidly evolving and competitive marketplace will be characterised by proactivity, agility and their eagerness to embrace new forms of strategic partnership.
This Webinar will consider the specific governance challenges that will confront Boards and Governing Bodies in an evolving cultural context where, as Stevens recently observed, "my institution right or wrong is not going to be what's required from the service's new generation of leaders".

The NHS Cost Recovery from Overseas Visitors and Migrants who use the NHS
Feb 10 2015
59 mins
Sir Keith Pearson Government's independent NHS adviser for the Cost Recovery Programme
The NHS Cost Recovery Team is leading work to improve systems for identifying and charging overseas visitors and migrants who use the NHS. This programme of work, though led by the Department, is being co produced with delivery partners in NHS England and the wider NHS, the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), the Home Office and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
We aim to support and reinforce the principle of fairness by ensuring that everyone who can should contribute to the cost of the NHS.
To support the recovery of costs from chargeable non-EEA visitors and migrants (i.e. patients who are charged directly) we will be introducing a new mechanism in April 2015 (subject to Parliament). It will share the risk of unpaid debt to provide a direct financial incentive to encourage trusts to invest in identification and cost recovery processes. This will deliver a major step change in behaviour and process.

Sarah Rose, Phil Morgan & Sarah Wright
Following on from the HFMA's Mental Health Faculty Forum in November which focused on approaches for achieving financially and clinically sustainable services, we are delighted to announce this upcoming seminar which will continue the theme.

• Partnership working: increased the scope and levels of sophistication of partnership working between people with lived experience and professional staff, increasing understanding of the importance of expertise by experience
• Hidden Talents: for statutory staff within NHS Dorset who have lived experience and are involved in challenging stigma and looking at how people can use their experiences within their work
• Lived experience mentors for psychiatrists: a pilot project where people who have accessed the service are coaching psychiatrists on how to work in more recovery orientated ways
• Peer Specialists: continuing to develop peer specialist posts (people with lived experience working in NHS teams modelling recovery)
• Recovery Education Centre (REC): offers co-produced and co-delivered sessions focusing on how to manage your own or support someone else's recovery. The REC has over 1600 students and has recorded impressive feedback
• Personal Health Budget (PHB): the WaRP in partnership with the CCG are an NHS England demonstrator site exploring how PHBs can reduce inpatient admissions and improve personalisation of services.

Employment taxes risk for the NHS
Oct 13 2014
62 mins
Gary Saunders, Senior Manager, PricewaterhouseCoopers
The employment tax status of workers can be difficult to establish. Where non compliance with the tax legislation arises, it is the NHS organisation, not the worker, that is exposed to additional PAYE and National Insurance Contributions ("NIC") as well as statutory interest and penalties. With increased HMRC activity in this area and the financial as well as the reputational risk non compliance brings, this session will look to share some of the areas PwC is seeing in practice as concern to HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC"). This will include individuals engaged as self-employed, as office holders, through Personal Service Companies and agencies. The session will also look at the interaction with the additional HM Treasury annual requirements for reporting off payroll payments.

Booktrust is an independent British charity with the aim of encouraging people to engage with books. Established in 1992, it has received UK government funding since 2004, and inspired similar schemes in over 20 countries.[1]
|This article's factual accuracy is disputed. (October 2012)
In December 2010 it was announced that the government would cut its entire £13m annual grant to Booktrust's English bookgifting schemes.[1] The schemes provided over 2m packs of books to English children annually.[2] After a public campaign by authors including Philip Pullman and Andrew Motion, the government announced it would negotiate with Booktrust on renewal of the funding.[3]
|This article is outdated. (October 2012)
Booktrust is responsible for a number of successful national reading promotions, sponsored book prizes and creative reading projects aimed at encouraging readers to discover and enjoy books. These include the Orange Prize for Fiction,[4] the Children's Laureate, the Get London Reading campaign, the Booktrust Teenage Prize and Bookstart, the national programme that works through locally based organisations to give a free pack of books to young children, with guidance materials for parents and carers. Booktrust has developed two further free book programmes in the UK: Booktime, run in association with Pearson PLC, gives a free book to every Year One pupil, and Booked Up, which gives a free book, from a choice of twelve, to every Year Seven pupil. On Friday 17 December 2010 Booktrust received notification that funding from the Department of Education for its bookgifting programmes (Bookstart, Booktime and Booked Up) in England was to be cut by 100% from 1 April 2011.[5]

On Wednesday 7th November, representatives of the White Ribbon Campaign, Chris Green and Joan Taylor, attended a parliamentary photo call in London. The event was attended by many Labour MPs including Harriet Harmon and Yvette Cooper. MPs gathered for a mass photo beneath the shadow of Big Ben, later there was a parade of individual photo's, pledge signing and interviews. Everybody to their credit, was very patient and allowed themselves to be "bossed" around by the WRC. The event was organised by Caroline Adams and went smoothly.
The WRC appreciates the MPs who gave there valuable time to take part in the photo call and looks forward to doing the same next year. We feel that the event was a huge success and will take the support we received and go forward with our campaign. We thank all who attended.
On average, two women a week in England and Wales are killed by a violent partner or ex-partner. This constitutes nearly 40% of all female homicide victims.

DEFINITION of 'Residual Standard Deviation'
A statistical term used to describe the standard deviation of points formed around a linear function, and is an estimate of the accuracy of the dependent variable being measured.
Residual standard deviation is also referred to as the standard deviation of points around a fitted line.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Residual Standard Deviation'
The residual standard deviation can be calculated when a regression analysis has been performed, as well as an analysis of variance (ANOVA). When determining a limit of quantitation, the use of a residual standard deviation is permissible instead of the standard deviation.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reported to Congress that current financial responsibility minimums for the commercial motor vehicle industry are inadequate to meet the costs of some crashes.
The agency's report to Congress was required in the most recent transportation bill and includes findings from a recent study that weighed the benefits of increasing insurance minimums, including improved compensation for crash victims and reductions in commercial vehicle crashes, against costs imposed on commercial motor vehicle operators and the insurance industry.
The analysis shows that while catastrophic motor carrier crashes are rare, the costs for resulting severe and critical injuries can exceed $1 million. Current insurance limits do not adequately cover these costs, which are primarily due to increases in medical expenses and other crash-related costs.
The FMCSA has formed a rulemaking team to further evaluate the appropriate level of financial responsibility for the motor carrier industry. MAP-21 requires FMCSA to issue a report every four years on financial responsibility requirements. To view the report, click here.
The groups urged planners to add parking near the National Mall for the millions of people who will visit by bus and car over the next several months, kicking off with the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
In their meetings, UMA members shared information about their own businesses and rallied for backing of three critical needs: opposition of FMCSA's proposal to raise the Federal financial responsibility limits, support of Rep. Barletta's proposal to remove CSA scores from public view until the data used to calculate the score can be improved, and support to preserve the current charter service rule.

The video ends with, "I'm getting off this time".
I always wondered why Poe never uploaded the rest of this song. Maybe this wasn't meant to be a snippet from a brand-new song, but rather a goodbye message to her fans. September 30, 1955 is the day James Dean died. I'm thinking that this video might be indicating the death of Poe's own music career.
Views: 537
God, I hope you are wrong. She is such an incredibly talented singer/songwriter who is WAY underrated and I can't bear the thought of not being able to listen to any new songs. :(
Thank you for the reference to www.ptch.com! I hadn't heard/seen the other short videos! I'm super pumped whenever I get to hear new POE. I've listened to the other albums so much. I got chills hearing the other two songs.
Could be, but I don't think that's the case. If you haven't already seen them, on a site called ptch, Poe released three other short videos that didn't give this possible interpretation. Also keep in mind, Poe isn't know to rush and put out records quickly. And while she used to communicate with her fans more, she's different than she used to be (as expressed by her video, Getting Dressed). It is really hard to wait this long, but I have yet to give up hope that she'll give us something when she feels that she's ready.

And some say that it loops forever this road... I'm getting off this time.

I thought about the exact same thing... but I am way too scared to admit it may be true.

Lot 102. Baseballs Signed by 4 Negro Leagues HoFers – Leonard, Bell, Johnson and Dandridge. With Josh Gibson, Buck Leonard (died 1997) was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1972. One of baseball's top 50 players of all time, he was considered to be the Negro Leagues' equivalent of Lou Gehrig. James "Cool Papa" Bell (d. 1991) joined Leonard in the Hall of Fame in 1974. A center fielder, he was one of baseball's fastest players. Judy Johnson (d. 1989), superb at third base, followed in 1975. Ray Dandridge (d. 1994), another third baseman and a strong hitter, was a member of the Class of 1987. Leonard, at No. 47, and Bell, at No. 66, made the "Sporting New's" list of top 100 players of the 20th century. Each of these four Hall of Fame members signed the sweet spot of an official baseball. Leonard's signature is mint 9 on a mint ONL William White baseball; Bell's, nm 7 across the west panel, SS and east panel of another mint William White ball; Johnson's, mint 9 on an nm-m OAL Bobby Brown ball; and Dandridge's, mint 9 to gem mint 10 on an ONL White ball. Kevin Keating authenticated all four autographs. The Leonard and Bell signatures come with PSA/DNA Certificates of Authenticity.

Lot 103. James "Cool Papa" Bell Autographed Baseball. Enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1974, Bell starred in the Negro Leagues from 1922-46. Possessing legendary speed, he would have been a star in the major leagues if the door had been open to him. In 54 games from 1928-48 between Negro Leaguers and white barnstorming teams, he batted .378 in 193 at bats with four home runs and 13 stolen bases. "The Sporting News" ranked him 66th on its 1999 list of greatest baseball players. Bell said being inducted into the Hall of Fame was the greatest honor of his life, but his biggest thrill "was when they opened the door in the major leagues for black players." He died in 1991. His signature, authenticated by Kevin Keating, is ex-m 6 on an nm-m Wilson Official League ball. The autograph extends for four inches, essentially across the sweet spot and east and west panels. It is without retraces, smudges or other problems. The signature is so broad that we have provided two photos to show it fully.

Table-Valued Parameters: Basics
You can use table-valued parameters (TVP) to send multiple rows of data to a Transact-SQL statement or a routine, such as a stored procedure or function, without creating a temporary table or many parameters.
Great news, you can use TVP with CodeFluent Entities! Let's see how you can use TVP to bulk load rows based on a list of id.
Create a new CFQL method:
Note the usage of "[]" after the type name. The generated method is:
public static CustomerCollection LoadByIds(System.Guid[] ids)
And the generated stored procedure:
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[cf_type_Customer_LoadByIds_0] AS TABLE ( [Item] [uniqueidentifier] NULL) GO CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Customer_LoadByIds] ( @ids [dbo].[cf_type_Customer_LoadByIds_0] READONLY ) AS SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @_c_ids int; SELECT @_c_ids= COUNT(*) FROM @ids SELECT DISTINCT [Customer].[Customer_Id], [Customer].[Customer_FirstName], [Customer].[Customer_LastName], [Customer].[Customer_DateOfBirth] FROM [Customer] WHERE [Customer].[Customer_Id] IN (((SELECT * FROM @ids))) RETURN GO
Table-Valued Parameters require SQL Server 2008. Don't forget to change the target of the SQL Server producer to use at least this version.
Additionally set Legacy String Array Mode to false :

CodeFluent Entities vs Entity Framework : Cascade Delete
Ensuring referential integrity is something very important in RDBMS. When you delete a customer you may want to delete all related information, this what is called Cascade Delete.
Let's see how CodeFluent Entities and Entity Framework (with Model-First) handle this feature.
Entity Framework
First of all you have to add a navigation property:
Then you can select the association (the line between entities) and configure it:
The generated SQL contains:
-- -------------------------------------------------- -- Creating all FOREIGN KEY constraints -- -------------------------------------------------- -- Creating foreign key on [CustomerId] in table 'OrderSet' ALTER TABLE [dbo].[OrderSet] ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_CustomerOrder] FOREIGN KEY ([CustomerId]) REFERENCES [dbo].[CustomerSet] ([Id]) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE NO ACTION; GO
Entity Framework Model First does not allow cascade delete on many to many association:
CodeFluent Entities
As with EF, we also need to create a relation:
All parameters are available on the same screen. Instead of EF, it's all English so everyone can understand options.
When using this option, the cascade delete is done by the generated stored procedure looks like:
BEGIN TRANSACTION DELETE [Order] FROM [Order] INNER JOIN [Customer] ON ([Order].[Order_Customer_Id] = [Customer].[Customer_Id]) WHERE ([Customer].[Customer_Id] = @Customer_Id) DELETE FROM [Customer] WHERE ([Customer].[Customer_Id] = @Customer_Id) COMMIT TRANSACTION
Maybe you prefer to use the SQL instruction "ON DELETE CASCADE". This option is also available with CodeFluent Entities:
Using this setting the generated constraint now uses ON DELETE CASCADE:
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[Order] ADD CONSTRAINT [FK_Ord_Orr_Cus_Cus] FOREIGN KEY ( [Order_Customer_Id] ) REFERENCES [dbo].[Customer]( [Customer_Id] ) ON DELETE CASCADE
Both solutions support cascade delete functionality. CodeFluent Entities has two ways to support this feature and is understandable by non-technical people.
CodeFluent Entities vs Entity Framework: Computed property
Computed properties are properties which are computed from other properties. For instance the full name is the concatenation of the first name and the last name. This value can be computed by the database or by the .NET code.
Let's see how CodeFluent Entities and Entity Framework handle those properties.
Entity Framework
There is no magic, you have to add a partial class with a property FullName:
partial class Customer { public string FullName { get { return string.Format("{0} {1}", this.FirstName, this.LastName); } } }
This property is not part of the model so you cannot use it in T4 templates.
Querying the database should be easy with EF, but in fact there are some subtleties. Here's the Linq to Entities query:
var customers = from customer in context.Customer select new { Id = customer.Id, FullName = customer.FirstName + " " + customer.LastName };
If you look in details the result is not a list of Customer but a list of an anonymous type. In fact EF does not allows to instantiate a custom Entity object:
You can also define SQL function in the model, but you have to edit the Edmx file with an xml editor (without designer).
CodeFluent Entities
There are many possibilities:
1. As with Entity Framework we can add a new property in a partial class
2. We can also add a computed property directly to the model and code the OnGetFullName method in a partial class. This way we can benefit from the property when generating code from the model
private void OnGetFullName() { this._fullName = string.Format("{0} {1}", this.FirstName, this.LastName); }
3. When the computed property is a "string.Format" you can specify the format in the model so the code of the OnGetFullName method is automatically generated:
The idea is to create a view which compute the full name.
Finally, you can load data from the SQL view using one line of code:
Both solutions allow to use computed properties. CodeFluent Entities provides some shorthand's so you don't always have to write code.
CodeFluent Entities vs Entity Framework: Naming convention
This is the first of many in a series of post covering the difference between Entity Framework 6 and CodeFluent Entities. Today we're talking about naming convention.
Naming convention allows to transform the name of a concept in the model (entity, property, constraints, etc.) for generating database. For instance if you have an entity "Product" in your model, the generated table name may be "Product", or "PRODUCT", "prod" or maybe something else according to you naming convention. So naming convention is about standardization and also about making your DBA happy with the generating codeJ.
Entity Framework
Entity Framework Model-First doesn't provide a simple way to apply a naming convention for the model. Instead you have to manually define names:
To automate the process you have to change default T4 templates located in Visual Studio installation folder, and the default generation workflow (TablePerTypeStrategy.xaml). Be sure to keep in sync the SQL template and the mapping (MSL) template.
Figure 1- Extract from the default T4 file
Then you can change model settings:
Entity Framework Code First has the notion of convention (does not work with Model First). This notion allows to set name of tables or properties:
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) { modelBuilder.Types().Configure(type => type.ToTable("EF_" + type.ClrType.Name)); modelBuilder.Properties().Configure(prop => prop.HasColumnName("EF_" + prop.ClrPropertyInfo.Name)); }
Setting constraint names (foreign key names, index names) looks more complicated and requires more than one line of code.
CodeFluent Entities
CodeFluent Entities provides out of the box six naming conventions, and allows you to create your own naming convention.
To implement a custom naming convention you have to create a class that implements INamingConvention or inherits from BaseNamingConvention:
public class MyCustomConvention: BaseNamingConvention { public override string GetName(INamedObject obj, IDictionary context) { Column column = obj as Column; if (column != null) { string name = (string)context["name"]; Table table = (Table)context["table"]; if (table != null) { column.DefaultName = "Default_" + table.Name + "_" + name; } } return base.GetName(obj, context); } public override string GetShortName(IShortNamedObject obj, IDictionary context) { Constraint constraint = obj as Constraint; if (constraint == null) return base.GetShortName(obj, context); return "myx_" + constraint.ConstraintType + "_" + constraint.Table.Name + "_" + constraint.ReferencedTable.Name; } }
Entity Framework Model-First does not provide a simple way to define a naming convention. The Code-First approach is better for table name and column name, but it's harder to name indices or foreign keys.
CodeFluent Entities provides out of the box six naming conventions, and let you write your own.

Table-Valued Parameters: Basics
First, what is Table-Valued Parameters ?
Table-valued parameters provide an easy way to marshal multiple rows of data from a client application to SQL Server without requiring multiple round trips or special server-side logic for processing the data.
You can use table-valued parameters (TVP) to send multiple rows of data to a Transact-SQL statement or a routine, such as a stored procedure or function, without creating a temporary table or many parameters.
Great news, you can use TVP with CodeFluent Entities! Let's see how you can use TVP to bulk load rows based on a list of id.

When you create an application using WPF, you often have to write converters to change one value to the desired type. The .NET Framework already provides some basics converter such as BooleanToVisibilityConverter. These converters are very specifics and not configurable. For example you cannot change the visibility from Collapsed to Hidden. We do not want to spend time to write common converter so we create the UniversalConverter.
The converter is located in the CodeFluent.Runtime.dll or CodeFluent.Runtime.Client.dll. Please use the Nuget Package Manager to add this Package on your project:
Let's see how to use it!
Basic conversion
<Window.Resources> <windows:UniversalConverter x:Key="TypeConversionUniversalConverter" /> </Window.Resources> <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TypeConversionUniversalConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" DataContext="true"/> <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Converter={StaticResource TypeConversionUniversalConverter}, Mode=OneWay}" DataContext="yes"/>
UniversalConverter uses ConvertUtilities to convert the value to the desired type so string values "true" and "yes" will be converted to the Boolean value "true".
Switch Case syntax
You can create a list of cases to fit all your needs. For instance:
<windows:UniversalConverter x:Key="BooleanToVisibilityConverter"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="Equal" Value="True" C onvertedValue="Visible" /> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="Equal" Value="False" ConvertedValue="Collapsed" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
As a C# switch you can set a default value:
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="BooleanToVisibilityConverter" DefaultValue="Visible"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="Equal" Value="False" ConvertedValue="Collapsed" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
There are currently 13 operators:
- Equal,
- NotEqual,
- GreaterThan,
- GreaterThanOrEqual,
- LesserThan,
- LesserThanOrEqual,
- Between: minimum and maximum value included => [min:max[,
- StartsWith,
- EndsWith,
- Contains,
- IsType: type match exactly,
- IsOfType: type or direved types,
- JavaScript: Yes, you can use JavaScript to evaluate a condition!
And some options:
- StringComparison
- Trim
- Nullify
Here's a list of examples using different operators:
Check if a string contains NewLine using JavaScript
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="HasMultipleLinesConverter" DefaultValue="False"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <!--look for a CR or LF in the string string--> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Value="/\r|\n/.exec(Value)!=null" ConvertedValue="True" Operator="Javascript" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
Set error message background and foreground color
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="ErrorTextBackgroundConverter" DefaultValue="Red"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Value="" ConvertedValue="Transparent" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter> <cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="ErrorTextForegroundConverter" DefaultValue="White"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Value="" ConvertedValue="Black" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
Test if a value is over 21
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="IsOver21Converter" DefaultValue="false"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="GreaterThanOrEqual" Value="21" ConvertedValue="true" Options="Convert" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
Is teenager
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="IsTeenagerConverter" DefaultValue="false"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="Between" MinimumValue="13" MaximumValue="20" ConvertedValue="true" Options="Convert" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
Compare types
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="TypeConverter" DefaultValue="false"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="IsType" Value="System.String" ConvertedValue="Type = String" /> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="IsType" Value="System.Int32" ConvertedValue="Type = int" /> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="IsOfType" Value="BaseClass, MyAssembly" ConvertedValue="Type is of type BaseClass" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter>
Is empty
<cfr:UniversalConverter x:Key="IsEmptyConverter" DefaultValue="Not empty"> <cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> <cfr:UniversalConverterCase Operator="Equal" Options="Trim, Nullify" ConvertedValue="Empty" /> </cfr:UniversalConverter.Switch> </cfr:UniversalConverter> <TextBox x:Name="TextBox"/> <TextBlock Text="{Binding ElementName=TextBox, Path=Text, Converter={StaticResource IsEmptyConverter}}" />

Azure Cache Manager and Redis Cache Manager
CodeFluent Entities allows to cache request results by using the Cache sub-producer:
- http://www.softfluent.com/documentation/BOM_Caching.html
- http://blog.codefluententities.com/2013/04/24/using-the-cache-sub-producer/
- http://blog.codefluententities.com/2012/12/27/working-with-both-the-cache-sub-producer-and-the-localization-aspect/
CodeFluent entities provides out of the box three types of Cache implementations:
- Simple Cache Manager, based on the ASP .NET cache (that can be used outside of ASP.NET) (CodeFluent.Runtime.Caching.SimpleCacheManager, CodeFluent.Runtime)
- Simple Localized Cache Manager, a sub-class of the Simple Cache Manager that can manage localized keys (CodeFluent.Runtime.Caching.LocaleCacheManager, CodeFluent.Runtime)
- Enterprise Library Cache Management, you must install the Enterprise Library in order to use it (CodeFluent.Runtime.Caching.EnterpriseLibraryCacheManager, CodeFluent.Runtime)
You can specify the type of cache you want to use on the "Runtime Cache Type Name" attribute (the full type name). You can use a different cache systems by scope (entity, method).
Microsoft Azure introduces two cache services: Azure Managed Cache Service and Azure Redis cache (currently in preview).
Azure Cache is a family of distributed, in-memory, scalable solutions that enables you to build highly scalable and responsive applications by providing you super-fast access to your data. We offer the following types of Azure Cache:
- Azure Redis Cache: Built on the open source Redis cache. This is a dedicated service, currently in Preview.
- Managed Cache Service: Built on App Fabric Cache. This is a dedicated service, currently in General Availability.
- In-Role Cache: Built on App Fabric Cache. This is a self-hosted cache, available via the Azure SDK.
Source: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cache/
CodeFluent Entities already provide support some Azure features such as Azure Table and Azure Blob Storage, and we decided to continue our efforts to help our customers to use Microsoft Azure. This is why we release two new cache managers:
- Redis Cache Manager
- Azure Cache Manager
How to use Azure Redis Cache?
Download the Redis CacheManager from GitHub and add it to your project. You also need to add the following NuGet package: StackExchange.Redis.
Now you can change the cache producer configuration:
Then build the model.
Finally you have to configure the cache manager with the configuration file (app.config or web.config) to use your Redis server:
<appSettings> <add key="SoftFluent.Samples.RedisCache.Caching.RedisCacheManager.Configuration" value="sample.redis.cache.windows.net,allowAdmin=true,ssl=true,password=password" /> <add key="SoftFluent.Samples.RedisCache.Caching.LocaleRedisCacheManager.Configuration" value="sample.redis.cache.windows.net,allowAdmin=true,ssl=true,password=password" /> </appSettings>
Note: if you use the Localization Aspect, you have to use SoftFluent.Samples.AzureCache.Caching.LocaleRedisCacheManager.
How to use Azure Cache Service and In-RoleCache?
Managed Cache Service and In-Role Cache use the same API, so you can use the same cache manager.
Download the CacheManager from GitHub and add it to your project. You also need to add the following NuGet package: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Caching. Now you can change the cache producer configuration:
Then build the model.
Finally you have to configure the azure cache client: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg278346.aspx.
If you are not using the "default" cache, you can set the client name and cache name in the configuration file (app.config or web.config):
<appSettings> <add key="SoftFluent.Samples.AzureCache.Caching.AzureCacheManager.ClientName" value="default"/> <add key="SoftFluent.Samples.AzureCache.Caching.LocaleAzureCacheManager.CacheName" value="default"/> </appSettings>
Note: if you use the Localization Aspect, you have to use SoftFluent.Samples.AzureCache.Caching.LocaleAzureCacheManager.
If you think we can add some useful functionalities to CodeFluent Entities, please share your idea on the forum.
Happy caching,
The R&D Team

U.T.F.O., Roxanne Roxanne, 1985
StreetCarnage has a great Mike Muir radio session/interview where the Suicidal Tendencies' frontman plays a solid variety of tracks and does some storytelling (including a funny one about actor Bill Paxton towards the end). Remembering how I'd literally listen to these guys as I'd go to bed each night, there is something so oddly calming about this…
(Note on the image choice, though the "Join the Army" cover is a close contender for classic album art, I think this one for "Feel Like Shit/Deja Vu" was always my favorite Suicidal cover, also fitting that this specific release is twenty years old this year)
