I think I have done, as have others, in this very thread. However
...

My favorite way is to write code that, seen from the outside, simply
cannot fail. It does this, in essence, by "completing" the partial
function represented by the version that can fail.

If the function in question returns an object, I like returning a
"default" or "error" object that can be interrogated if you want to
interrogate it, and that does benign things when sent messages.

The ideas in Ward Cunninham's "Checks" paper are along the lines of
the way I think .. although further along and generally better, as
always. http://c2.com/ppr/checks.html

Anybody knows where did refactoring.com go?

Hi all.

Does anybody know what happened to the refactoring.com page? I've been 
trying to access it many times for the last few weeks but firefox keeps 
saying the server does not exist. I even went to Martin Fowler's web 
site an try the link there because I thought I probably typed the wrong 
domain, like .com instead of .org or .net or something... alas, it's 
still unreachable for me.

Anybody got any idea or is there some news I missed?

Thanks

Hmmm...  Maybe try it again.  http://refactoring.com/ is available for me,
right now.

Re: Anybody knows where did refactoring.com go?

My "change notification agent" also sent a message that it deleted
refactoring.com from his list because it did not exist anymore. But now
it seems to be back.

Re: XML Colum on SqlServer2005

Hello all world
my name is giovanni and i write from Rome Italy.
this is the first one i write on this groups. and sorry for my bad enghlish.

i have a problem for to use a methodology.

i have a table on a Sqlserver 2005. this table have many columns, 300 and
for business case i can't reduce they.
i have think of to separate the colum used for statistic scope and i have
create the column for this. the other colums i have think of to write this
information as a xml document and memorize it on the column called
"metadati".

this choice have pro and versus.
pro:
you can serialize column on a class and add and remove propery of class.

versus:
you can't view the metadata column as full table view with all colums,but
you will see only a section, because the others information are on the xml.
you must sostituite the table with a View that use "forxml" for to see all
table value.

What do you think of this metodology, use it o no ?
