I was playing around with my trusty multi-select dropdown earlier today and a colleague of mine pointed out that changing the selected items outside of the directive would not actually deselect previously selected items. This was a curious bug since I knew I had a watcher on the ngModel selections.

Parsing Excel to a List of Objects
posted on May 25, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Microsoft
Business people love their Excel spreadsheets. Fact. As such, I work with Excel a lot to parse and manipulate data. However, from a .NET perspective, Excel in its raw form isn’t overly useful. Being able to take an Excel worksheet and build a List<T> can be extremely useful.

posted on May 23, 2016 by long2know in Database, Entity Framework

However, once I moved away from working entirely from an HttpContext scope, my Ninject bindings failed me.
