Blog moved
I have decided to move my blog from here over to Don't Believe the Type. There are a number of reasons I have decided to do this mainly:-
- I need more control over how the blog looks.
- Too much spam and little control over how to manage it.
- Bring the url in line with my new company name Asterope Systems
- I want to focus on other technical aspects not just ASP.Net
I have loved being part of the asp.net blogging community here, but you will notice a lack of posts in the past year. This has been down to mainly being more mobile and not having the right tooling in place (use WinRT surface a lot of the time). Now that I am hosting on Wordpress, I have a better writing environment and have more general control over the site.
I have imported all these posts over and I am in the process of tidying them up to look nicer.
Hope you will join me over at my new blog.
Thanks

Full Circle
Things have been a little bit hectic these past 6 months hence the lack of posts. My excuse is a good one though, my wife gave birth to our first son Tom back in September and it has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride since then. Things have settled back down now thank hevens.

Setting Up MVC Using StructureMap, Moq and NUnit...Quickly
When I was first attracted to the Microsoft MVC Framework, one of my main ambitions was to develop using a more test driven approach. There are ways to include Unit testing with WebForms, but the friction was just too much to justify on the web projects I was involved with.

WinMerge as a Comparison Tool in Visual Studio 2008
Ok I know VS 2010 is the new toy to be seen playing around with, but as I have just recently got delivery of my new Windows 7 pc I thought I would document how to get WinMerge to work as a comparison tool with VS2008 Team System. If for anything, so I know myself when the time comes to do it all over again.

Multiple Strongly Typed Partial Views in MVC
Creating strongly typed views with the ASP.Net MVC framework is really easy, but what if you want to have multiple types on the same view? One way to achieve this is to create partial views for each type and creating a combined view model. Then the view will inherit this combined view model and each partial view will inherit from its component types.

TempData and DropDownList in ASP.Net MVC
TempData
Sometimes while developing web applications, you have a need to keep certain data between web requests. In asp.Net MVC you can use TempData which will keep hold of any values you pass to it for that request and the next request when it is then removed. This is a great way of keeping form elements at a particular state during form submission from an mvc view. In the following example I will briefly explain how to render a drop down list populated with data which will keep the selected value across form submission.
