Optimistic Locking vs Pessimistic Locking in .NET

Georgi Georgiev — Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:56:43 +0000

Since the invention of database systems, they have become the primary source of truth for almost every web application’s data. As user demands grow, applications scale, and so does the concurrency within the system. Ensuring data integrity and consistency along with effective locking mechanisms, becomes a major concern when multiple users attempt to access and […]

Early Binding and Late Binding in C#

Karthikeyan N S — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 07:54:07 +0000

In C#, method binding refers to associating a method call with the method’s code definition. When we invoke a method, the program determines which specific method to execute. This process, known as “binding,” can occur at two different times: during compile-time (early binding) or runtime (late binding). By using early binding, we can use compile-time […]

How to Get an Instance of IServiceProvider in .NET

Georgi Georgiev — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 07:21:16 +0000

In modern .NET applications, dependency injection is a fundamental design pattern that promotes loose coupling and enhances maintainability. At the center of .NET’s dependency injection system lies the IServiceProvider interface, which acts as a service locator for retrieving service instances. Understanding how to obtain and work with an IServiceProvider instance is vital for developers who […]

Entity Framework Core Best Practices

Karthikeyan N S — Mon, 21 Oct 2024 04:47:44 +0000

Entity Framework Core (EF Core) is an object-relational mapper (ORM), enabling us to work with a database using .NET objects, eliminating much of the data-access code we usually need to write. EF Core supports many databases, including SQL Server, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and more, making it highly versatile. While EF Core provides many conveniences, following […]
