Using Type.GetType in the .Net Framework(www.jeffgaroutte.net)

submitted by JGaroutte(315) 5 months, 26 days ago

I was recently working on a project where we needed a System.Type object based on settings in the application configuration file. It seems like a simple thing to do but there is a catch that I keep forgetting when using Type.GetType. When I tried to get the type for a SqlConnection I was a little surprised that it was null. read more...

Authenticating users with RPXNow (in ASP.NET MVC)(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 9 months ago

Don’t you get sick of having to register at website X, at website Y, at website Z, …? It is really not fun to maintain all these accounts, change passwords, … Luckily, there are some large websites offering delegated sign-in (for example Google Accounts, Live ID, Twitter OAuth, …). You can use these delegated sign-in methods on your own site, removing the need of registering yet another account. Unfortunately, not everyone has an account at provider X… A while ago, I found out about the free service JanRain is offering: RPXNow. This (free!) service combines the strengths of several major account providers (Google Accounts, Live ID, Twitter, Facebook, OpenID, …) into one simple API. This means that people are able to log in to your website if they have an account at one of these providers! Here’s how to use it in ASP.NET MVC… read more...

Avoiding The Database Deployment Nightmare(blog.reamped.net)

submitted by kayos(890) 2 years, 11 months ago

So, I have written before about how to put your database into version control using database projects in Visual Studio. Even while having the scripts in the solution, there can be times when you can't exactly remember what you changed and needs to go out with your project deployment to the production database. Deploying files is easy because of tools like WinMerge, however deploying things to a database can get quite complicated. You could script both schemas and use WinMerge to see the differences between the development database and the production database. But even doing that, you will still have to write a custom script to get the production database schema up to date. read more...

How To: Clean Up ASP.NET JavaScript Tags(blog.reamped.net)

submitted by kayos(890) 3 years ago

In April of '08, I wrote a post about cleaning up the ASP.NET head tag using control adapters.

From the comments of that article I was recently asked how to clean up JavaScript tags. read more...

SQL Server Side Paging With A Validated Dynamic Order By(blog.reamped.net)

submitted by kayos(890) 3 years, 5 months ago

So this is what it has come to anymore. Everyone is all about server side paging via SQL Server. As well they should be! It is so much faster and more efficient than having ADO or ADO.NET bring back a ton of records and then chop it to page it. However, there has always been some problems when trying to accomplish this task, especially using a SQL database that is pre 2005. read more...
