Client side validation is pretty handy. However, as we all know, you can’t fully trust any data sent to your server from a web client. As such, we generally duplicate validation in both the client and server side scenarios. This isn’t a big problem, but it does create a disconnect when the client validation passes, but then the server validation fails. Even in duplication, I still want server-side validation to play an integral part of the overall user experience.

Building LINQ Expressions (Part 1)
posted on October 20, 2015 by long2know in LINQ
I’ve said it before, and it bears repeating. LINQ is one of those features in .NET that keeps me using it. In-line queries that allow you to expressively search lists, with the declarative query syntax, is very appealing. Sure, under the covers, it’s performing the heavy lifting, iteration, and such, but the SQL-like lambda expressions are incredibly powerful.
However, sometimes we need something even more dynamic.
Entity Framework Bulk Operations

Late last week, I ran into an interesting problem. My current web-based project allows users to perform bulk operations on various database records – up to 1000 records at a time. When dealing with a small number of records, performance was adequate. However, when working with 1000 records, performance was completely unacceptable.
