Updates to the CacheAdapter Package
Sunday, August 21, 2011 2:12 PM
Note: This post was originally going to detail the changes from 2.0 to 2.1, however in between the time of release and this post, I released 2.2 so this post will detail all the changes up to 2.2. In the last update to my CacheAdapter library (you can view it here ), I mentioned the support for memcached cache engine. That brought the version to 2.0. As previously... Read More...
Converting from Webforms view engine to Razor–Some Tips
Monday, June 06, 2011 9:16 AM
Recently, I have had to perform a lot of conversion in an MVC application from using the webforms view engine to the Razor view engine. I say “had to” but we didn’t really have to, more wanted to. We wanted the cleaner syntax that razor allows. Since we were going to embark on a bunch of new features involving new pages, we wanted to do this conversion earlier... Read More...

Entity Framework and the PreApplicationStartMethod attribute
Friday, May 06, 2011 2:09 PM
Recently, while implementing an EntityFramework data model into a new application, I thought I’d add some caching functionality early, to establish a framework going forward. I added the DBML (generated from a database), and added in my funky caching layer (which will be distributed as a Nuget package soon) that allows caching to be configurable switching between...

Thursday, April 14, 2011 7:49 AM
I blogged here about my Mix11 bootcamp sessions, and here about my Mix11 day 1 keynote and sessions. To continue the theme, here are some thoughts and opinions around Day 2. Keynote #2 This keynote started a little slow with some apologies and explanations around delays in Windows Phone 7 updates coming. Necessary but unexciting. After that though, things moved...

My Mix11 Proposal
Thursday, January 27, 2011 6:51 AM
I only submitted one session for consideration to present at Mix this year. Unfortunately it was not shortlisted and is consequently not open to voting currently on the site. However, I thought I might post it here to gain some feedback from others as to how I might refine or change it. Maybe it is just something people are not interested in and I have taken...

ScriptHelper–For MVC and WebForms projects
Thursday, November 18, 2010 4:38 PM
This issue might seem minor but I always forget the names (exact naming) or number of script files I need to get some features working in MVC or Webforms. In addition, in my applications that require a specific client side feature, I might need a series of dependent scripts to make it work. Failing to include all of them often gives ambiguous errors or the functionality... Read More...
ASP.NET MVC 3 and Custom Extensions

When playing with the latest ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 bits, some people have mentioned their dislike of the . cshtml extension used for the “razor” view engine that comes with ASP.NET MVC 3 and also WebMatrix . Well there are a number of ways you can change this. For the purposes of learning and tinkering, I decided to try and register a new view engine using... Read More...

Making WCF Output a single WSDL file for interop purposes.
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 10:42 PM
By default, when WCF emits a WSDL definition for your services, it can often contain many links to others related schemas that need to be imported. For the most part, this is fine. WCF clients understand this type of schema without issue, and it conforms to the requisite standards as far as WSDL definitions go. However, some non Microsoft stacks will only work... Read More...
