Inject Some Life into Your Applications—Getting to Know the Unity Application Block

Unity is just a container that stores registrations and mappings between types and can instantiate the appropriate concrete types on demand. Or, to be more precise, it is a lightweight, extensible dependency injection container with support for nested containers and facilities for constructor, property, and method call injection. Unity is available as a stand-alone download and is also included with Enterprise Library 4.0. You can use Unity with Enterprise Library to create both Enterprise Library objects and your own custom business objects, or you can use it without installing Enterprise Library.


Above was the small introduction to the UNITY DI Library provided in the article i went through. Hope you'll make use of this piece of information for dependency injection.


Happy Coding!

Asynchronous Tracking - Google Analytics

Asynchronous tracking is an improved way to track website visitors with Google Analytics. Unlike a traditional installation, asynchronous tracking optimizes how browsers load ga.js so its impact on user experience is minimized. It also allows you to put your Analytics snippet higher in the page without delaying subsequent content from rendering.

Although asynchronous tracking uses a different Analytics snippet and a different syntax for tracking calls, it supports the exact same tracking customizations as the traditional snippet. In fact, the asynchronous tracking syntax is also more flexible than the traditional snippet.

<script type="text/javascript"> var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s); })(); </script>

NHibernate + IIS6 / IIS7 Hosting Configrations in web.config

We came across a situation where our Web Application updates  the SQL2k5 DB when hosted in IIS6, But does not update when it is hosted in IIS7. After some research we realized the problem was with the modules  and how IIS6 and IIS7 handles the modules mentioned within web.config. Here I share with you how we got the application up and running with some configuration changes.



If you are hosting in IIS6 you should uncomment following,

If you are hosting in IIS7 you should uncomment the following,

Cheers!
