Supporting multiple submit buttons on an ASP.NET MVC view(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 6 months ago

A while ago, I was asked for advice on how to support multiple submit buttons in an ASP.NET MVC application, preferably without using any JavaScript. The idea was that a form could contain more than one submit button issuing a form post to a different controller action. The above situation can be solved in many ways, one a bit cleaner than the other. For example, one could post the form back to one action method and determine which method should be called from that action method. Good solution, however: not standardized within a project and just not that maintainable… A better solution in this case was to create an ActionNameSelectorAttribute. read more...

Facebook Connect Action Filter for ASP.NET MVC(beefycode.com)

submitted by beefarino(110) 2 years, 6 months ago

One of Facebook Connect's basic features is to provide user identity to other web applications via the "Connect Button". Adding this feature to your ASP.NET site is already well documented by Clarity Consulting and others; here I will show you how I'm seamlessly folding this feature into the ASP.NET MVC request-handling pipeline using a custom Facebook Connect ActionFilterAttribute. read more...

Localize ASP.NET MVC 2 DataAnnotations validation messages(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 6 months ago

Living in a country where there are there are three languages being used, almost every application you work on requires some form of localization. In an earlier blog post, I already mentioned ASP.NET MVC 2’s DataAnnotations support for doing model validation. Ever since, I was wondering if it would be possible to use resource files or something to do localization of error messages. Here's how! read more...

MvcMaps Preview 1 – A Unified Bing/Google Maps API for ASP.NET MVC(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 6 months ago

I spent some time lately working on bringing some of the concepts of Web.Maps.VE to ASP.NET MVC. The concepts I’m referring to are Simplicity and Ease of Development in making the implementation of mapping within ASP.NET MVC applications as simple as possible along with the Flexibility and Customizability of the Base Mapping API itself. Then I thought, Since I’m building an abstraction layer to simplify Bing Maps development, why not implement it in a flexible manor as to be able to support other Mapping API’s as well? The result of such an effort in a nice Unified API that allows virtually the same code to be written when implementing either Bing Maps or Google Maps. In fact, all you need to do to change your application over to using one mapping provider instead of the other is to just change a single line of code. read more...

ASP.NET MVC View Model Patterns(geekswithblogs.net)

submitted by johnrummell(1321) 2 years, 6 months ago

Since MVC has been released I have observed much confusion about how best to construct view models. Sometimes this confusion is not without good reason since there does not seem to be a ton of information out there on best practice recommendations. Additionally, there is not a “one size fits all” solution that acts as the silver bullet. In this post, I’ll describe a few of the main patterns that have emerged and the pros/cons of each. It is important to note that many of these patterns have emerged from people solving real-world issues. read more...

Microsoft Ajax Library (Preview 6) and the Microsoft Ajax Minifier(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 7 months ago

The ASP.NET team today released a significant new update of the Microsoft Ajax Library (Preview 6). This update includes a bunch of new capabilities and improvements to our client-side AJAX library, and can be used with any version of ASP.NET (including ASP.NET 2.0, 3.5 and 4.0), and can be used in both ASP.NET Web Forms and ASP.NET MVC projects. Today’s release includes the following feature improvements: * Better Imperative Syntax: A new, simplified, code syntax for creating client controls. * Client Script Loader: A new client-side script loader that can dynamically load all of the JavaScript files required by a client control or library automatically, and executes the scripts in the right order. * Better jQuery Integration: All Microsoft Ajax controls are now automatically exposed as jQuery plug-ins. read more...

A Simple ScriptManager for ASP.NET MVC(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 7 months ago

The ASP.NET AJAX ScriptManager makes it really easy to include JavaScript references and register JavaScript blocks into the rendered Page output of an ASP.NET WebForms application. However nice the ScriptManager control is, it’s still just a WebForms control for use with ASP.NET AJAX; thus it’s use isn’t really supported with ASP.NET MVC. Also, to make things just a little more difficult, ASP.NET MVC doesn’t have it’s own “ScriptManager” implementation. This brings me to the point of posting this… I have worked out a really simple “ScriptManager” component for use with ASP.NET MVC, and I think it works really nice to help simplify the effort of including JavaScript blocks and references in a page read more...

Leveraging ASP.NET MVC 2 futures ViewState(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 7 months ago

In my previous blog post, I called something “ViewState in MVC” while it is not really ViewState. To be honest, I did this on purpose, wanting to see people discuss this possibly new feature in MVC 2. Discussion started quite fast: most people do not like the word ViewState, especially when it is linked to ASP.NET MVC. As Phil Haack pointed out in a comment on my previous blog post, I used this foul word where it was not appropriate: "(…) I think calling it ViewState is very misleading. (…) what your serializing is the state of the Model, not the View. (…)" Let’s use this in a practical example. read more...

"Today’s post covers a small, but nice, new feature that you can now optionally take advantage of with ASP.NET 4 - the ability to automatically startup and proactively initialize a web application without having to wait for an external client to hit the web server. This can help you provide a faster response experience for the first user who hits the server, and avoids you having to write custom scripts to “warm up” the server and get any data caches ready." read more...
