Less CSS with .LESS and T4!(chadmoran.com)

submitted by ChadMoran(535) 2 years, 5 months ago

After hearing about .LESS for .NET I was ecstatic. I’ve been looking for something like this for quite some time. Recently Phil Haack blogged about a T4 template he made using Damien Guard’s helper class to generate CSS files for each LESS file. This way it would generate static CSS files you could reference. As great as this was I personally was looking to just have the CSS files appear in the location of the LESS files making it easier to reference/view the CSS files. The advantage to this is if you have CSS files in a particular directory structure they will be exactly where the LESS files are thus keeping your structure. read more...

ADO.NET EF v LINQ to SQL (take 4)(chadmoran.com)

submitted by ChadMoran(535) 3 years, 2 months ago

I never thought I would write a 3th part to this saga and war against ADO.NET EF but here I am again. So after getting some real progress on my project I thought I’d try out ADO.NET EF again, give it another chance. I figured maybe the last few times I failed with it, it was just misunderstood. I’m writing this post out of pure anger and disgust I have had to go through with ADO.NET EF. read more...

A new breed of magic strings in ASP.NET MVC(lostechies.com)

submitted by johnsheehan(4785) 3 years, 4 months ago

One of the common patterns in Ruby on Rails is the use of hashes in place of large parameter lists. Instead of hashes, which don’t exist in C#, ASP.NET MVC uses anonymous types for quite a few HTML generators on the view side. This is a trick used by the MVC team to simulate hashes. Since the dictionary initializer syntax is quite verbose, with lots of angly-bracket cruft, anonymous types provide a similar effect to hashes. However, don’t let the magic fool you. Anonymous types used to create dictionaries are still dictionaries. read more...
