MIX 10 and the future of the web?(acadianaug.org)

submitted by CodeFuzion(90) 2 years, 1 month ago

Thoughts and impressions of MIX 10 As I attended Microsoft’s biggest Web Conference of the year, one thing began to ring in my ear, Silverlight is a really big deal to Microsoft. Yes the focus of this conference was the Windows Phone 7, but to me that was just another presentational piece that my reach can be extended with Silverlight. I have been developing for Silverlight since 2.0 beta, and I can safely say, that when I started, I had a fear that I could be wasting effort learning this technology. Boy are my fears now quince.

Upgrading ADO.NET code by Execute SQL Statements in Entity Framework 4(acadianaug.org)

submitted by CodeFuzion(90) 2 years, 1 month ago

There may be several situations in your older applications where you would want to utilize Entity Framework 4.0 to model your Data Layer and segregate your concerns of that Data Layer from your application. Entity Framework 4 is a great tool to accomplish this. However, depending on how old your Data Layer code may be, you might have some existing ADO.NET code, but don't want to have to change everything to utilize Entity Framework 4.0. Or, you simply do not understand Entity Framework 4.0 at this time, and dont have the resources to learn it all in one shot. You want to migrate in small comfortable steps, you may model one or two of your Data Tables, but you dont want to migrate all of them. Click for details ... read more...

Update to JSON Service Provider using ASP.NET MVC Beta and Templating(polymorphicview.blogspot.com)

submitted by CodeFuzion(90) 3 years, 7 months ago

Recently Microsoft has updated the ASP.NET MVC to Beta status, and along with that came code changes. One of the code changes to the IModelBinder and how it interacts with the Parameter bindings broke what I wrote on the last post (utilizing ASP.NET MVC as a JSON Service Provider, and coding the entire web site on the client side). Upon loading the Beta bits, I realized my AJAX Parameter function was infinite looping. The reason is that the Model Binder defaults to trying to bind Complex Types in the Action Parameter to the form values being passed back, however, since I am not doing a form postback, it could not bind that to the complex type, and could not run the ActionExecuting on the AjaxParameterAttribute I had set. Here is the changes along with testing Dates and the Microsoft Client Side Ajax Templating Engine. read more...

ASP.NET MVC as a JSON Service Provider for Richer Webs w MS Templates(polymorphicview.blogspot.com)

submitted by CodeFuzion(90) 3 years, 7 months ago

This post shows how to utilize the ASP.NET MVC Framework, jQuery, and Microsoft Templating to become a JSON Service Provider to allow for rich Client AJAX driven Web Application. I have recently been doing a lot more Javascript Client side applications and working a lot closer with JSON objects to build complex web pages. The problem I typically run into is getting my C# POCO objects to translate to a JSON Object on the client side so I can work with it and change it and then post it back to the server to handle it appropriately. The basics of what I wanted was to seamlessly work with my Model data and it automatically handle converting to JSON or C# Objects at the correct layer. read more...

Extension methods as a new Fluent Decorator Pattern?(polymorphicview.blogspot.com)

submitted by CodeFuzion(90) 3 years, 9 months ago

So recently I have been on this kick to learn Design Patterns in Ruby, and to figure out all kinds of neat ways to do the same design patterns in a dynamic language that is as versatile and elegant as Ruby. While playing around with the decorator pattern in Ruby, I started trying to think of slick ways to accomplish the pattern in C# 3.0. read more...

“The Next Web aka Web 3.0” and Silverlight's importance to it.(userfriendlythinking.com)

submitted by CodeFuzion(90) 4 years, 1 month ago

I have recently been having some debates on Silverlight / AIRs importance to the web. Some of these people in the discussion often say that AJAX enabled web sites are enough for what you need on the web. I whole heartedly disagree with this assessment, so I thought I would make a blog posting about why I feel the importance of RIA development on the web is an important next step for our view of the web in the coming years ... read more...

While writing type-safe queries is great for most scenarios, there are cases where you want the flexibility to dynamically construct queries on the fly. For example: you might want to provide business intelligence UI within your application that allows an end-user business analyst to use drop-downs to build and express their own custom queries/views on top of data. read more...
