I normally don't do a "Part 2", but the first article seemed to cause some concerns to many people. The concerns aren't valid, which is why I felt in necessary to address them. The issues stemmed around RESTful URLs, comparing ModelBinders to the ViewState and accessing the database from a ModelBinder...

This passed Saturday, I had got to do a couple of sessions at the first anual South West Florida Code Camp on ASP.NET MVC... part of that presentation was about TDD, and unit tests with MVC in general. I've written this article ( Test Driven Development with ASP.NET MVC ) now for the rest of the world...

Article Teaser: Hot off the presses, and new to ASP.NET MVC (Preview 5) is an awesome capability that (in my opinion) revolutionizes the way we design web applications. This feature is being touted (by me) as "the ViewState for MVC". Model Binders in ASP.NET MVC On a side note: MVC is getting really...

I know I've said this 100 times at this point, but I'm in love with MVC. If you've read other MVC articles, but you're not really feeling it, then I suggest (and hope) you check out this one: Logging with ASP.NET MVC Action Filters Action Filters aren't complicated, but the power they provide is clear...

Hey all developers out there who are getting into ASP.NET MVC (or have been using the MVC design pattern for a while). Just a couple of days ago, Stephen Walther posted on a topic near and dear to my heart regarding MVC and how to address the issue of getting supplemental data for a View while not violating...

Now, I don't see myself going back :) Here's the 'teaser text' for the article: "Most .NET web developers...

There are a few blog posts out there mentioning that there is AJAX support in MVC Preview 4, but there's not a lot of "here is a real benefit to you" posts out there. So, I just finished writing this article: AJAX Panels with ASP.NET MVC - which shows concrete benefits and how to impliment it with MVC...

Crazy title for a blog post? Maybe... but that's exactly what Jonathan Carter (and the Visual Studio & .NET Framework evangelism team at Microsoft) has just released a complete package training kit for. It has the following 6 hands on labs: ADO.NET Data Services ADO.NET Entity Framework ASP.NET AJAX...

I love how pluggable ASP.NET MVC is... this last article was fun, and I'm half tempted to start coding in HoTMeaT! Here's a snippet of the good stuff: < ul > < listView source ="{ViewData People}" > < itemTemplate > < li >{Binding LastName}, {Binding FirstName}< /li > <...

In my current gig, I was surprised to find when I started that there were front-end and back-end developers. The front-side guys are mostly HTML, CSS and Javascript (actually, mostly jQuery) folks, while the back-end folks do all of the wiring up and heavy lifting on the server type stuff. Most of the...
