This next series will follow the principles of SOLID, “five basic principles of object-oriented programming and design.” The concepts as collated into SOLID was organized by a gentleman named Robert C. Martin who has what may be one of my favorite quotes in software engineering: Following the rules on the paint can won’t teach you […]

This has been a fun journey and hopefully you’ve learned a bit about MVVM and the TPL. I do have plans for future posts in this series that will center around the TPL.Dataflow namespace. It’s an area of the TPL I don’t seem written about a lot and I think there are probably a few […]

Previous Post in this series:Part 12: Cancelling Threads with the CancellationTokenSource – The Code This sample derives from a Microsoft example and an updated solution is available here. AsyncAwaitSample model: There are two runs here, one shown using the keyword “await” with an asyncronous method and another run just running an asyncronous method without using […]

Previous Post in this series:Part 11: Cancelling Threads with the CancellationTokenSource – The MVVM So now that we’ve covered the MVVM, which you saw was pretty trivial to implement, let’s cover the actual sample. CancellationSample.Run We start by instantiating the CancellationTokenSource that holds our token. We have to do this for each run or else […]

Previous Post in this series:Part 10: Loop control of the Parallel.For and .ForEach Next up we’ll work on cancelling threads with the CancellationTokenSource. This is really a two parter where the first part will deal with the changes I had to make to integrate a new view and the second part covering the sample model. […]

Previous Post in this series:Part 9: Basic Exception handling with the AggregateException Generally we’re used to having a break when doing loops. If you’ve tried to continue or break out of a parallel loop you get: No enclosing loop out of which to break or continue “continue” is the easy case, just return. But breaking […]

Previous Post in this series:Part 8: Adding a New Sample, Matrices Multiplication In the updated solution you’ll find two new models, AggregateExceptionNoCatchSample and AggregateExceptionCatchSample. The TPL provides a convienient exception handling mechanism in the form of an AggregateException. If you run through a Parallel.For or .ForEach and an exception is thrown in one of the […]

Part One: Starting with MVVMPart Two: The MVVM solution structure and basic frameworkPart Three: Base ClassesPart 4: Sampler View, View Model and ModelPart 5: Running and working with the TPL samples In the solution directory Models, you will find the LineSample and LineParallelSample models. These are fairly straight forward samples. LineSample.Run() We start a stop […]
