Creating an MVC Project in Visual Studio 2010(squaredroot.com)

submitted by TroyMG(2670) 2 years, 7 months ago

Earlier today Phil Haack announced that the Asp.Net MVC installer for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 is now available on CodePlex along with the bonus of some basic snippets for use with MVC projects. This is exactly what I have been waiting for before installing Visual Studio 2010, so I decided to give it a shot and report back on my experience. I’m happy to say that the basic experience went flawlessly for me, though it appears that may not hold true for everyone. read more...

Return of the PagedList<T>(squaredroot.com)

submitted by TroyMG(2670) 2 years, 7 months ago

It has been nearly a year since I posted an updated version of the PagedList<T> functionality originally created by Scott Guthrie and posted by Rob Conery. Since then I have used the class in a number of projects and find it indispensable. A few days ago, Craig Stuntz reported an interesting observation: when the first page is returned, the class performs a Skip(0). Suprisingly, this is not free. With that in mind, I set out to correct that issue as well as incorporate a few changes I’ve made over the past year. The result is nearly identical to the last posted version, just a bit more readable. read more...

Building a simple multiplayer game with ASP.Net MVC and jQuery(squaredroot.com)

submitted by TroyMG(2670) 3 years, 2 months ago

Last weekend I had presented a small multiplayer-game built in MVC and jQuery as a sample for a speaking engagement. There isn't much to the "game", as you currently can only move around, but it helps illustrate how easy it is to use jQuery and MVC together to make something interesting. Who knows, maybe the source could kick-start development on your own game? read more...

Membership Administration with MVC Preview 5(squaredroot.com)

submitted by TroyMG(2670) 3 years, 5 months ago

Last weekend I posted a release of the MVC Membership Starter Kit that targets Preview 5 of the ASP.Net MVC framework. There was no packaged release targeting Preview 4 (though if you downloaded the latest source, it worked), so this release essentially packages the changes from both previews. read more...

MVC Routing Security Hole(squaredroot.com)

submitted by TroyMG(2670) 3 years, 7 months ago

Stephen Walther's latest MVC tip introduced me to the MVC framework's ability to pass server variables into actions as parameters. Unfortunately using this feature is a very bad idea and could jeopardize the security of your application. Take a look at a code sample you might find surprising. read more...

MVC: Creating SSL Links/URLs(squaredroot.com)

submitted by TroyMG(2670) 3 years, 8 months ago

A couple days ago a reader sent in a question regarding how to use SSL with the MVC framework. Specifically the reader wanted to know the easiest way to make an Ajax call to a HTTPS page from a non HTTPS page. The tricky part here is to do so without hard-coding any URLs, so I whipped up a few extension methods that should make this a bit easier. read more...
