Recently Git version controlling system has gained lots of popularity and more and more developers are using it for software development and version controlling. Microsoft also tied with Git with Visual Studio 2013. So if you use Visual Studio as your primary IDE and then its high time to learn about it. With Visual Studio 2013 team explorer you can easily tied code in your git repository so I thought it will be a good idea to write a blog post about How we can create git repository in local with team explorer in Visual Studio 2013 and publish it to github a well know open source a powerfull code hosting site for the open source projects.

So What we are waiting for. Let’s take an example.
Example of Enum support for views in ASP.NET MVC 5.1:

What is Test Driven Development:
As per wikipedia Test Driven Development is
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes an (initially failing) automated test case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test, and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standardsKent Ben an American software engineer and creator of extreme programming rediscovered this technique. There are three main indicators of Test Driven development.

What is dapper:
Dapper is Micro ORM developed by Sam Saffron few years ago while he was working as lead developer at stack exchange. This ORM was developed specially for Stack Exchange QA sites like stackoverflow.com and superuser.com for the performance improvement. It has got a single file where all the code has been written. You can download dapper Micro ORM from the following location.

Dapper Micro ORM related posts on dotnetjalps.com:
Following is a list of post related to dapper Micro ORM that I have written on this blog.
Playing with dapper Micro ORM and ASP.NET MVC 3.0
Insert with Dapper Micro ORM and ASP.NET MVC 3
Edit/Update with dapper ORM and ASP.NET MVC 3

Converting a C# Object into JSON string
Some people might think why I am writing so much about basics but the things but in reality I got lot of questions through email and other communities about very basic things. So I thought instead of replying them into single thread. It is a good idea to write blog post about it and as a result I am writing this blog post.
In this post we are going to learn how we can convert a object into JSON string It is very simple. Let’s first see how we can convert C# Object into JSON string.
So to demo this, I have created a employee class like following.
Now let’s create object of this class and assign some value like following.
For this demo we are using console application so we have to add System.Web and System.Web.Extensions reference to access the JavaScript Searilizer class through which we are going to convert this object into JSON string. We are going to add reference like following.
Now with JavaScript Searilizer class which belongs to System.Web.Script.Serialization namespace we can easily convert C# object into JSON string. Following is a code for that.
Now when run this console application. Following is a output as expected.
Here its serialize object into JSON string. Same you can desterilize the JSON string into C# object with Deserialize function.
That’s it. It’s very easy. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for more..

public class Employee
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
Now let’s create object of this class and assign some value like following.
Employee employee=new Employee
{FirstName = "Jalpesh",
LastName = "Vadgama"};
For this demo we are using console application so we have to add System.Web and System.Web.Extensions reference to access the JavaScript Searilizer class through which we are going to convert this object into JSON string. We are going to add reference like following.
Now with JavaScript Searilizer class which belongs to System.Web.Script.Serialization namespace we can easily convert C# object into JSON string. Following is a code for that.
var javaScriptSerializer = new
System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
string jsonString = javaScriptSerializer.Serialize(employee);
Console.WriteLine(jsonString);
Now when run this console application. Following is a output as expected.
