Like yourself, I’ve never had to change the underlying persistence layer without rewriting other code. But I’d still write every bit of repository/business service to a contract just because it makes writing unit tests so much simpler.

Being able to mock a Save method in IDataContext is a lot less complicated than having to create dummy DataContext classes in your tests (if you’ve ever written tests against EF you’ll know that pain). And it’s infinitely better than writing unit tests that actually start writing to the DB (one of the legacy projects I’ve worked on has tests that span several tiers – nightmarish).

The partial stuff I only find useful if the two parts are the stuff that’s been written by hand and the other auto-generated. I’ve never understood any reason for it to exist outside of that. I’d never heard of partial interfaces before and I don’t think I’ll be rushing to try them out.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply. I have got markers (without info windows working already on the site I’m doing) but wanted to add infowindows to them. So i followed your example.

I’ve made the document ready function change and sorted out the braces as I’d missed it and put an extra one at the end.

However still no joy.

heres the code:

var infowindow = null;
$(document).ready(function () { initialize(); });

function initialize() {
var centerMap = new google.maps.LatLng(52.427, -1.700);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 11,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(‘map_canvas’), myOptions);

setMarkers(map, sites);
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: ‘loading…’
});
}

var sites = [['Masons Arms Public House', 52.4119363, -1.7762272, 1, 'Masons Arms Public House'],['Starbucks', 52.4133206, -1.7792657, 2, 'Starbucks'],['John Lewis', 52.413938, -1.780450, 3, 'John Lewis'],['Fallen Angel Bakery', 52.4131195, -1.7780644, 4, 'Fallen Angel Bakery'],['Lush Cosmetics', 52.4137078, -1.7760573, 5, 'Lush Cosmetics'],['Berryfield Farm Shop', 52.4300365, -1.6411231, 6, 'Berryfield Farm Shop'],['Michaels Foodmarkets', 52.4455737, -1.783855, 7, 'Michaels Foodmarkets'],['Balsall Common Foodcentre', 52.3907374, -1.6490093, 8, 'Balsall Common Foodcentre'],['Berkswell Village Store', 52.4093881, -1.6417169, 9, 'Berkswell Village Store'],['La Delicica', 52.3928246, -1.6464652, 10, 'La Delicica'],['Oldwich Ln W', 52.360569, -1.6918703, 11, 'Oldwich Ln W'],['New Covent Garden', 52.3884441, -1.7350296, 12, 'New Covent Garden'],['One Stop Shop', 52.4037472, -1.8227041, 13, 'One Stop Shop'],['Solihull Cornucopia', 52.4291942, -1.7978353, 14, 'Solihull Cornucopia'],['Wedges Bakery', 52.3644425, -1.8055321, 15, 'Wedges Bakery'],['Field Fresh', 52.4803318, -1.7392491, 16, 'Field Fresh'],['Fleur de Lis', 52.4137601, -1.7787196, 17, 'Fleur de Lis'],['Vi Stevens Florist', 52.4062113, -1.8232528, 18, 'Vi Stevens Florist'],['Sheldon Florist', 52.3885955, -1.7343968, 19, 'Sheldon Florist'],['Flamingo Florists Ltd', 52.4455737, -1.783855, 20, 'Flamingo Florists Ltd'],['Cotswold Outdoor Co', 52.4137078, -1.7760573, 21, 'Cotswold Outdoor Co'],['M & Co', 52.4137605, -1.7780644, 22, 'M & Co'],['Monsoon/Accessorize', 52.4131195, -1.7780644, 23, 'Monsoon/Accessorize'],['Next', 52.4109457, -1.7784396, 24, 'Next'],['Top Man', 52.4124038, -1.7793879, 25, 'Top Man'],['Zara', 52.4124038, -1.7793879, 26, 'Zara'],['Boots', 52.4130676, -1.7764163, 27, 'Boots'],['Akamba Garden Centre', 52.3902978, -1.8483994, 28, 'Akamba Garden Centre'],['Café Azzurro', 52.397, -1.8042, 29, 'Café Azzurro'],['Café Shirley', 52.4047535, -1.8222885, 30, 'Café Shirley'],['Clock Hotel', 52.4438483, -1.7303281, 31, 'Clock Hotel'],['Melbicks Garden And Leisure', 52.4619907, -1.7041663, 32, 'Melbicks Garden And Leisure'],['Notcutts', 52.3828902, -1.7897604, 33, 'Notcutts'],['West Cornwall Pasty Co', 52.4136365, -1.7789121, 34, 'West Cornwall Pasty Co'],['Saracens Head', 52.4114314, -1.8271866, 35, 'Saracens Head'],['Olton Tavern', 52.4384362, -1.7827444, 36, 'Olton Tavern'],['The Bakers Oven', 52.4124038, -1.7793879, 37, 'The Bakers Oven'],['Solihull Manor House', 52.411723, -1.7774502, 38, 'Solihull Manor House'],['Lyndon Humanities College', 52.4479357, -1.7896544, 39, 'Lyndon Humanities College']];

Looked at your code. Thanks for posting – took it out of your comment as well. Have you looked at the source code for my map demo?

http://you.arenot.me/map.html

In your code, it appears that:

1. You aren’t calling : $(document).ready(function () { initialize(); });
(unless you aren’t using jQuery). But you still need to call initialize();

2. your setMarkers function is inside your initialize function. Take that out.

3. is your div in your HTML called map_canvas i.e.

Let me know if that helps.
