Application-wide action filters in ASP.NET MVC

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:30:02 GMT

Ever had a team of developers using your ASP.NET MVC framework? Chances are you have implemented some action filters (i.e. for logging) which should be applied on all controllers in the application. Two ways to do this: kindly ask your developers to add a [Logging] attribute to the controllers they write, or kindly ask to inherit from SomeCustomControllerWithActionsInPlace. If you have been in this situation, monday mornings, afternoons, tuesdays and other weekdays are in fact days where some developers will forget to do one of the above. This means no logging! Or any other action filters that are executed due to a developer that has not been fed with enough coffee. Wouldn't it be nice to have a central repository where you can register application-wide action filters? That's exactly what we are going to do in this blog post.

WPF Bindings and CurrentCulture Formatting

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:00:00 GMT

WPF doesn't apply the CurrentCulture to bindings by default, which is a little... unexpected to say the least. As it turns out there's an easy solution to this problem, but it does require using code to apply the culture specifically in every document.

Microsoft deprecating Oracle client in Dot Net 4

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:30:00 GMT

Microsoft has announced through a blog that the ADO.NET 4 spec will mark the Oracle client as deprecated with plans for removal. They are also recommending that users go to a third party Oracle provider. Stop Helping the Competition? Wow, this will mark the first time an ADO.NET provider has been removed from the .Net framework. Is this a case of Microsoft trimming the fat, or pushing Oracle? I always thought it a bit of a free ride that Microsoft was helping Oracle by building their provider for them...

Creating a quick and dirty jQuery contentEditable Plugin

Tue, 26 May 2009 04:57:42 GMT

Inline editing content is a feature that's novel and highly useful at the same time. I've been using it in a number of admin interfaces to provide very easy and quick text updates to existing content. There are a number of ways to accomplish this but in this post I'll discuss a contentEditable jQuery plugin that makes any content inline editable using the DOM's contentEditable attribute that maintains text formatting in the editable text.

Get last-modified header from response in ASP.NET

Fri, 22 May 2009 01:58:01 GMT

I've been working lately with some ASP.NET performance optimization automation HTTP modules. In one of them I needed to know if the last-modified header had been set through the Response.Cache.SetLastModified(DateTime) method. For some reason, there is no API available anywhere within the BCL to retrieve the last modified date of a response - you can only set it. Since the module wouldn't work without a way to read the last modified date of the response, I had to use Reflector to figure out how to pull the information out using reflection. The result became a simple little method to retrieve the date
