@dj-nitehawk -- There shouldn't be any performance difference between the two approaches. If you plan to stick with LINQ to SQL then your approach makes perfect sense.

hi stephen,

is there really any performance difference when using the repository pattern with linq-to-sql; compared to simply extending the datacontext using a partial class and placing all of my methods in there?

i personally like the latter cos it results in less code and i dont need unit testing, nor do i wish to swap out linq-to-sql for another provider in the future. cos im totally hooked on MVC and linq-to-sql :-)

thanks and keep up the good work!!!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the very enlighting tutorials. I tried the tutorial about creating Model classes with Linq to Sql, and everything worked fine. Especially the information about the Repository pattern was very interesting. So if I get it right you can create your Data Access Layer in an application by designing repository interfaces and Model classes implementing these interfaces?

great work,

Anthony

It's really great to see you are using the Silverlight Multi File Uploader. I already released the source code for Silverlight RC0, it's on CodePlex.

re: ASP.NET MVC Tip #42 – Use the Validation Application Block

tmiller — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 18:24:36 GMT

Can this method be utilized if validation is dependent on another field? For instance, lets say I have two fields on a form:

txtUserName

txtFirstName

Now, if the user hits the page they must input a value in one of the fields but both is not required. So, I'd only display a message if both fields are left empty when they try to post.

Can this be handled by this method of validation or am I better off utilizing the method of validation found here?

Thanks.

Would you please post the above workaround using MVC Preview 5? We are in trouble while rendering UserControl by Html.RenderPartial().
