EntityFramework, slow insert and SqlBulkCopy

Hey all, I finally got fed up with the ridiculously slow insert times of EntityFramework. So, I went with the SqlBulkCopy route, but that required a second connection to the database, and second connection string in the config file, you're not storing them in the code right...? Well, I created some extension methods to handle this all for me, this takes care of getting the SqlConnection out of the Entity Context. Below is the code to do it. public static class ObjectContextExtensions { ///

Converting non MVC3 projects to MVC3 projects

Well, I needed to do this because the project that the codgen tool in Orchard creates is not an MVC3 project. Call me picky, but I like the Add Control, Goto View, Create View, and all the other cool little things that come with an MVC project in Visual Studio. So, I set out to figure out how to do it.

Definitely opened up some more room to fit everything i

Bitmask without and's and or's

Well, ran into an issue with a programming language that didn't support and's and or's. Turns out we really didn't need to do it, but I wanted to figure how to do it. So, I did. Here's the c# code to do it. It's pretty straight forward. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace BitChecker { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int number = 0; int bitToFind = 0;
