Introducing Fluent MetadataProvider for ASP.NET MVC - Kazi

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 11:15:02 GMT

I have just included a Fluent Metadata provider in my open source System.Web.Mvc.Extensibility project. Currently it contains all of the features of the Built-in DataAnnotations Metadata provider that comes with the ASP.NET MVC 2 framework. Consider it as a holiday special from me for the ASP.NET MVC community :-). The main reason I am no...

More on Fluent MetadataProvider for ASP.NET MVC - Kazi Manzur Rashid

Sat, 26 Dec 2009 12:00:01 GMT

In my last post, one of the thing you complained about the maintaining view model meta data configuration in two separate place and I admit this becomes a pain when you skim through the codes. I have changed the implementation, so now you will be able to configure the meta data very much like the Fluent NHibernate or Entity Framework 4.0 Code ...

Meet my new ASP.NET MVC Extension - System.Web.Mvc-Kazi Manzur Rashid

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:15:00 GMT

After hearing Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman in their latest podcast and PDC session I decided to give a good look at the MvcTrubine project in this weekend. I totally agree the intend of this project, let your favorite IoC to rule everywhere, but I do not think it has been implemented in the correct way. There are three important design flaws that I found in MvcTurbine: Generic Component Registration API Rather than allowing you to use your preferred IoC registration features, it prefers to use its own generic syntax for component registration, which is simply wrong. In real application, we need more support from our IoC such as lifetime management, auto wiring, modularity like (Ninject/Autfac Modules, StructureMap Registry) etc. In case of this generic API we have to throw away the features of these IoCs. Missing Common Service Locator I think the Common Service Locator(CSL) has become the standard to abstract the underlying IoC from your application code and all the popular IoCs in .NET world has an adapter for CSL. But rather than using/extending it, it has its own version of service locator. Limited support for Action Filter injection It uses a host kinda Attribute to inject the dependencies into the actual action filter attribute and this host is not capable of passing the attribute specific values to the actual attribute and even if this feature is implemented in the future it will be based upon the string based property name which would work on top of reflection. Now, lets see how my new extension solves the above issues and how easily you can start plugging it in your application. First lets take a quick look of the project structure of this extension.

Telerik ASP.NET MVC Grid Preview (Take 2) - Kazi Manzur Rashid

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:30:00 GMT

In the last post, I have shown you how you can extend the ASP.NET MVC2 templates and some of the issues of the current beta. In this post, I will show you how we are taking advantages of the new DisplayFor/EditorFor in our MVC Grid. One of the benefit of using those statements in our grid is, you can host any kind of component in an individual cell, obviously the first two components will be the DateTimePicker and NumericTextBox that we are going to include in our next release. One of the most requested feature since our last release is the inline editing support in the grid. In this, I will show you the inline editing of product of my last post, but this time with our Grid. The Grid should support both server and ajax editing, but in this example we will only discuss the server.....

Extending ASP.NET MVC 2 Templates - Kazi Manzur Rashid

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 12:45:00 GMT

One of the new features of ASP.NET MVC 2 is Templates (DisplayFor/EditorFor), Brad Wilson did a series of post which explains how the templates works, Please read it before you continue this post. Although he did an excellent job explaining the inner-details, but one thing you will notice that the object model in those examples are traversed from top to bottom or parent to child which is good for explaining the internal, but in our real application we need a bit more support. Lets take a trivial example, you are creating a create/edit screen for your Product, where each product has a associated Category and you want to show this category in a DropDownList, say we have a Product class like the....

Supporting multiple submit buttons on an ASP.NET MVC view

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:15:00 GMT

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.

Retrieve only the first record from a LEFT JOIN

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:42:04 GMT

Recently I was working on a project where I had to return a simple list of products, and if they had images associated with them, return information about only one along with the product. Times like these, a simple left join or inner join just doesn't cut it if there are more than one image/record per product. When this happens there is almost always a simple solution, so let's take a look.

priting using C#

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 08:29:56 GMT

printing is very easy case in all the task ,but when using ASP.NET, printing of web form is not that easy. if we're building a UI we usually do so by painting controls on the screen and allowing whoever developed them to worry about the whys and wherefores about how that control should look.

ASP NET slideshow Control with jQuery and XML

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:34:56 GMT

For the past few years, the image sliders, slide-shows, and Ad Rotator scripts have become increasingly popular for web pages. There are thousands of these scripts on the Web but is difficult to find one that fit my requirements. I want a script that is flexible enough for me to use it as an Ad Rotator, slide-shows or image rotator with navigation controls and extract the slides information from XML file. After spending some time researching for it, I found the jQuery based slideshow with navigation controls from Dynamic Drive and the article reading-xml-with-jquery. I had put together these finding and a brief tutorial "jQuery slideshow with XML". Recently, I decided to encapsulate this into ASP.NET User Controls to increase reusability of code. Now, I can have multiple instances of this control on my page and I can customize the width and height, options to hide or show navigation controls, XML file source, and others setting for each instance. I have put together a step by step tutorial on how I have accomplished this.

ASP.NET MVC View and Transaction - Kazi Manzur Rashid's

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:00:00 GMT

Scott showed how to render the Grid in a Transaction. Certainly it does the job but in my opinion view component should not be responsible for this kind of cross cutting concerns, instead we can use the Action Filters. Lets see how we can utilize the Action Filter in this scenario instead of modifying the Grid code. What Scott is trying to do is encapsulate the data access operation in a transaction, the Action Filter has several methods which the ASP.NET MVC framework executes in different stages of a request. In this case, we will use the OnActionExecuting which fires before the code enters into the controller method to start a transaction and OnResultExecuted which fires when the view is processed, we will commit/rollback based upon the status, here is the code that would process the action result in a transaction:

WPF TreeView Binding with Dataset

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 06:12:53 GMT

TreeView is a fantastic control right from classic VB days. It is the best control to display hierarchically organized data. TreeView population by adding nodes through looping has gone. Now in the ASP.Net improved support by using XML to transform the Dataset to TreeView binding. HierarchicalDataTemplate in mapping data To recognize the node levels by TreeView we need HierarchicalDataTemplate. It will work if the dataset is Relational Database. And give a unique name that describes the relationships. Add a TextBlock for displaying the header table data. In this article we point categories as the Header Data.
