ASP.NET MVC Locale User Control (State/Province, Country)

schnieds — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT

A while back I wrote a locale control for ASP.NET that gave you a nice and easy way to plug in a cascading state/province – country control into your ASP.NET websites. Now that I have moved on to using ASP.NET MVC for my new projects I needed the same control, only this time in MVC.

Authorizing Access via Attributes in ASP.NET MVC Without Magic Strings

srkirkland — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT

Recently I developed a strategy which I think works well for authorizing access to user groups (Roles) without using the string names of those groups.

The problem I am trying to avoid is doing something like [Authorize(Roles=”AdminRole”)] on a controller or action since I know the role names can change & one typo can mess everything up.

Role Names

So first of all I usually have a static class which has the names & aliases for all roles in case they change:

public static class RoleNames

    public static readonly string Supervisor = "Supervisor";

    public static readonly string Admin = "StateOffice";

    public static readonly string ProjectAdmin = "ProjectAdmin";

    public static readonly string DelegateSupervisor = "Delegate";

This is pretty standard for me, but unfortunately I can’t just do [Authorize(Roles=RolesNames.Admin)] because attributes requires constant expressions. So as a solution I came up with the idea of creating a custom attribute which will tightly control access based on specific role criteria.

Creating a Custom Authorize Attribute

When creating the custom authorize attribute I inherit from AuthorizeAttribute since it already contains most of the logic I need. All I need to do is set the Roles property in the constructor to a comma delimited list of the authorized roles, and the authorize attribute base class will take care of the rest.

For example – to restrict access to just the admin role:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)]

public class AdminOnlyAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute

    public AdminOnlyAttribute()

        Roles = RoleNames.Admin;

Or if you want to include the project admins as well:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)]

public class AdminOnlyAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute

    public AdminOnlyAttribute()

        var authorizedRoles = new[] {RoleNames.Admin, RoleNames.ProjectAdmin};

        Roles = string.Join(",", authorizedRoles);

Usage

Then on your controller you restrict access like this

[AdminOnly]

public class AdminController : Controller{}

And it also works on an action

public class AdminController : Controller

    [AdminOnly]

    public ActionResult AdminOnlyAction()

        return View();

Enjoy!

ASP.NET Dynamic Data NHibernate Provider

RicardoPeres — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT

My NHibernateDataSource was just a necessary step in order to build an ASP.NET Dynamic Data provider for NHibernate. I am pleased to say that it is now working! Like the NHibernateDataSource, it is only - for now - merely a proof of concept, it needs cleaning up and still misses the association metadata part, which means no links to associated entities, but list, edit, delete and insert are working fine.

If you want to try it, please download it and send me your feedback.

In order to use it, create a Dynamic Data Web Application project and change the name of the context class on the Global.asax.cs file:

model.RegisterContext(new NHibernateDataModelProvider(typeof(MyNHibernateContext)), new ContextConfiguration() { ScaffoldAllTables = true });

Then, on all of the ASPX files under the DynamicData folder, replace the EntityDataSource declaration for the NHibernateDataSource, keeping all of the properties. Add the NHibernateDataSource files to your project and add references to NHibernate and LINQ to NHibernate, from the NHContrib project, and that's it!

ASP.NET 4, ASP.NET MVC, and Silverlight 4 Videos of my Talks in Europe

ScottGu — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT

[In addition to blogging, I’m also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu]

Hope you all had a great holiday – welcome to 2010!

Last month I did a blog post about some of the presentations I did in Europe and posted the slides+demo files from them. High-quality videos of the talks I did in Sweden were posted two weeks ago on the Channel9 site, so you can also now watch videos of the talks online as well. The videos use a nice format where you can watch me talking as well as the screen at the same time. The code is readable when running in full-screen mode.

Below are links to the different talks along with the slides+sample files:

ASP.NET 4 and VS 2010 Web Development

This 90 minute talk provides a nice introduction to ASP.NET 4 and VS 2010 for Web Development. It is primarily demo-driven and walks-through a lot of the new features coming with the release.

The talk starts with a 2 minute introduction of someone introducing me which is in Swedish – but the rest of the talk is of me talking in English.

ASP.NET MVC

This 2 hour talk provides a nice introduction to ASP.NET MVC, and explains it by walking through how to build a simple application with it from scratch. Along the way it highlights and discusses some of the new features coming in ASP.NET MVC 2.

Silverlight 4

This 60 minute talk recaps the keynote I gave at PDC. It walks-through the new Silverlight 4 features and capabilities.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 05:00:00 GMT

While I (really) unplugged in December of 2009, you can access a nice calendar of all my 2009 posts (as well as other years) at this link.

In 2008 I published a Greatest Hits post that I will keep updated, but here's a list of links to the posts I most enjoyed writing this last year. I hope you find some of them useful, and perhaps you missed one or two or you just started reading recently and this 2009 "Greatest Hits" Post will catch you up on the stuff I was thinking about this year.
