Take a Walk on the Client Side with WebAPI and WebForms(blogs.telerik.com)

submitted by Telerik(388) 29 days, 18 hours ago

In my last blog I introduced the basics of using ASP.NET AJAX and WebAPI together in the same project. In addition, I showed how to bind results from WebAPI to a Telerik’s ASP.NET AJAX Grid. In this blog I will continue down this path and implement insert, update, and delete operations using WebAPI and RadGrid! read more...

Migrating from NUnit to xUnit(www.tomdupont.net)

submitted by tdupont(1259) 1 month, 18 days ago

If you are currently using NUnit to write your unit tests, then it is not at all difficult to migrate to using xUnit. The philosophical difference between the two is simply this: with xUnit you need to think of your tests as objects, rather than of methods. Here is a visual representation of equivalent test setups between NUnit and xUnit... read more...

From Legacy to Dependency Injection(blogs.telerik.com)

submitted by KodefuGuru(2818) 1 month, 21 days ago

We’ve all encountered tightly-bound code, and our first instinct is to correct it. However, there are only so many hours in a sprint, and it’s not always convenient to go on a large refactoring spree when the backlog is filling up. With JustMock, you can still ensure the code works, and it will set you up for the cleaning that will take place at a ... read more...

ASP.NET MVC 3, Razor-C#, and VB.NET WebForms - ActionLink, RenderParti(trycatchfail.com)

submitted by Matt_TCF(946) 2 months, 17 days ago

Today I’m going to show you how to use MVC helper methods in your ASP.NET WebForms markup. Why would you want to do this? Maybe you're in the same boat I'm in, working on a project that has an extensive investment in WebForms, and a wholesale migration to MVC is just not possible. With a little bit of black magic, I'll show you how to make strongly-typed action links, render partial Razor views, and render complete MVC actions within a standard ASP.NET WebForms application. read more...

ASP.NET MVC 3, Razor-C#, and VB.NET WebForms - A Tale of Black Magic V(trycatchfail.com)

submitted by Matt_TCF(946) 3 months, 10 days ago

What do you get when you mix a legacy VB.NET WebForms application, ASP.NET MVC, and Razor views that are written in C#? If you said “Pain!” you are quite right. But what you also get is the ability to leverage your existing investment in VB.NET WebForms while crafting new code in ASP.NET MVC Razory-C# goodness. In this series of posts, I’m going to tell you how you, too, can concoct a wicked brew that will enable you to do crazy things, such as creating Razor views in C# that utilize VB.NET WebForms master pages, or how you can render MVC action methods from within WebForms markup. read more...

In .NET, open source does not beget open source(bvanderveen.com)

submitted by alexandrul.ct(475) 4 months, 16 days ago

Ruby, Python, Perl, Node, and Clojure all have, to varying degrees, a unified story for defining a project, translating its source code into runnable code, running a test suite, building distributable packages, and resolving and installing a project or package’s dependencies. These stories just work across all supported platforms. Setting up a cross-platform open source .NET project is non-trivial. ... read more...

Evolution of the Async Controller in ASP.NET MVC(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 4 months, 16 days ago

Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind. They appeared in ASP.NET MVC 2, remained untouched in v3, but now in MVC 4 (especially in combination with C# 5 and async/await) they reached the same easiness of use of the standard synchronous controller. Check out that absolutely awesome stuff you can do with them now! read more...

Windows Phone 7.5 - Using advanced tiles API(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 4 months, 17 days ago

There is not any doubt, the first thing you meet when you use Windows Phone are the tiles. These are the large squares on the home screen that identifies some applications and they are also a distinguishable character that make your Windows Phone unique. As you know for sure, the tiles can be attached or detached from the home screen and some particular software can take advantage of double size tiles. While this is not a feature available to developers, in OS7.5, the tiles gained new features and a new set of APIs that you can use to enrich your applications. As an example you are now able to update your tiles from inside the application and you can use double faced tiles to improve information to the user. In this article I would like to explore these new features and show how to take advantage of them, while porting your software to the new operating system. read more...

This is vitally important people so listen up. The web now connects a third of our planet. Over 1.2 billion people [1] use the web on devices, and this number is rising fast. Mobile already amounts to close to 6.5% of web traffic worldwide, and large sites such as Facebook and YouTube routinely report mobile traffic of at least 30%. By 2015, the ITU predicts mobile traffic will exceed desktop traffic and the ‘mobile-mostly’ group already make up a staggering 20% of users in the US and UK. read more...
