submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 10 months ago

When creating custom URLs with the UrlHelper.Action() method is a great way to create links to other URLs in the current Web application. However, you need to be careful of certain encoding issues as certain characters are not correctly encoded to work properly as parameters. read more...

Keep Your IQueryable In Check(codethinked.com)

submitted by simonech(10.1k) 3 years, 1 month ago

There is a good chance that you have seen Oren’s recent “Repository Is The New Singleton” post. I wanted to have a quick discussion of his approach, and discuss why I don’t 100% agree with it.

A Closable jQuery Plug-in(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 3 years, 1 month ago

Almost every UI I build these days requires either closing pop up windows or even more commonly requires that items are removed and visually hidden which usually implies 'close' behavior. In addition to removing a bunch of HTML markup, having a plug-in is also quite useful for server controls especially if multiple behaviors (plug-ins) need to be applied. read more...

The State of ALT.NET(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorph(3319) 3 years, 2 months ago

Over the past 6 months I have been trying to really quantify what it means to be using ALT.NET practices. And I can honestly say that I still honestly don’t know what it means to be an ALT.NETer. But I have come to a number of conclusions about the state of the ALT.NET community, that I wanted to share. (1) The ALT.NET Community is fractured among itself. (2) Take the religious zealotry out of ALT.NET (3) Craftsmanship with out Engineering is no way to program software. read more...
