I’ve have just sent this email to the developers exchange group in my company: I think you all know the routing engine that works with ASP.NET MVC framework to enable customizing URLs and mapping those to the corresponding controls, actions and their parameters. Some of you may know too that the routing engine is not just for ASP.NET MVC, but ASP.NET in general. If you happened to download the source code of the ASP.NET MVC framework (any preview), you’d have noticed that the routing comes as DLL not in source code format like other parts of the ASP.NET MVC framework. I have found an interesting series of articles going through the routing assembly that I thought you might be interested in: The MVC routing assembly – part I The MVC routing assembly...

Hi, In My last two posts I talked about · How to open and close a word document programmatically . · How to save a word document in different programmatically . In this post I will talk about how we can replace words in the word document. Many a times we will find ourselves in situation where by we have a word document with a predefined template where some of the words need to be replaced by user entered values. This can be easily performed with the help of word automation. To replace words in the word document we first need to open the word document programmatically. The following code snippet function shows how we can replace the word in the document. If we want to replace the word inside a selection then we need to pass the range of the selection...

I've been exploring the world of the web designer and noticed that ASP.NET does not exist in that world. I've been reading web design blogs and browsing through articles on http://www.designfloat.com/ , a sort of DIGG site for the design community, and I don't encounter any mention of ASP.NET at all. I have observed that web designers are somewhat aware of PHP because they are heavily involved in developing custom themes for WordPress. Creating skins and themes for open source web applications seems to be a good gig for web designers. But a lot of the attention is on WordPress, Joomla, and OsCommerce. I don't find any articles, guides, or other resources on designing for DotNetNuke or ASP.NET Master Pages, etc. Of course, I could...

ASP.NET Compilation tool is used to compile an ASP.NET Web application either in same machine or to deploy on a target machine such as a production server. It helps application performance because end users do not encounter a delay on the first request to the application while the application is compiled on backend. Compilation for deployment can be in one or two ways That removes all files such as code-behind and markup files That retains markup files.

In this tip, I demonstrate how you can create unit tests for the routes in your ASP.NET MVC applications. I show how to test whether a URL is being mapped to the right controller, controller action, and action parameters. If you are being virtuous about test-driven development when building an ASP.NET MVC application, then you should write unit tests for everything. Write the unit test first then write the code that satisfies the test. Repeat, repeat, repeat, ad nauseam. Routes are a very important...( read more ) Read More...
