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...

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
Sunday, August 08, 2010 3:03 PM

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...

ASP.NET MVC and IE8 WebActivities
Friday, March 14, 2008 12:23 PM

One of the great things in readify is the ability to do Professional Development at scheduled intervals to keep up to speed with the latest industry technologies and advancements. My latest foray into this (amongst other things) has been looking at the ASP.NET MVC framework and Internet Explorer 8 WebActivities . Both of these technologies are quite cool and... Read More...

Web Client Software Factory and Enterprise Library. I want to Opt-in, not Opt-out.
Monday, May 28, 2007 12:34 AM

I am a fan of the Web Client Software factory . Its a pretty good implementation of the MVP pattern within ASP.NET. Pretty lean and clean and doesn't involve lots of effort to get the simple stuff done, unlike a lot of other MVC based implementations/frameworks. One of the things I don't like about it is the automatic inclusion of the Enterprise Library pieces... Read More...

Couple of things in this post. Firstly (and long overdue), I have updated my personal website to get rid of the Atlas CTP functionality and replace that with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 features. There is not much actually a few update panels, and the inclusion of an AJAX Control toolkit control, the Accordion on the front page to help with useability and screen real estate... Read More...

MVC/MVP - Overused Patterns?
Sunday, February 04, 2007 10:57 PM

I did an engagement recently where a client wanted to create a windows forms application from an existing legacy application. The existing legacy app was important but relatively simple in terms of architecture. A previous consultant went in and recommended the use of the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern, with the possible use of the CAB (Composite UI Application... Read More...
