Meet my new ASP.NET MVC Extension - System.Web.Mvc-Kazi Manzur Rashid(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by mithu(570) 2 years, 5 months ago

After hearing Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman in their latest podcast and PDC session I decided to give a good look at the MvcTrubine project in this weekend. I totally agree the intend of this project, let your favorite IoC to rule everywhere, but I do not think it has been implemented in the correct way. There are three important design flaws that I found in MvcTurbine: Generic Component Registration API Rather than allowing you to use your preferred IoC registration features, it prefers to use its own generic syntax for component registration, which is simply wrong. In real application, we need more support from our IoC such as lifetime management, auto wiring, modularity like (Ninject/Autfac Modules, StructureMap Registry) etc. In case of this generic API we have to throw away the features of these IoCs. Missing Common Service Locator I think the Common Service Locator(CSL) has become the standard to abstract the underlying IoC from your application code and all the popular IoCs in .NET world has an adapter for CSL. But rather than using/extending it, it has its own version of service locator. Limited support for Action Filter injection It uses a host kinda Attribute to inject the dependencies into the actual action filter attribute and this host is not capable of passing the attribute specific values to the actual attribute and even if this feature is implemented in the future it will be based upon the string based property name which would work on top of reflection. Now, lets see how my new extension solves the above issues and how easily you can start plugging it in your application. First lets take a quick look of the project structure of this extension. read more...

Telerik ASP.NET MVC Grid Preview (Take 2) - Kazi Manzur Rashid(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by mithu(570) 2 years, 5 months ago

In the last post, I have shown you how you can extend the ASP.NET MVC2 templates and some of the issues of the current beta. In this post, I will show you how we are taking advantages of the new DisplayFor/EditorFor in our MVC Grid. One of the benefit of using those statements in our grid is, you can host any kind of component in an individual cell, obviously the first two components will be the DateTimePicker and NumericTextBox that we are going to include in our next release. One of the most requested feature since our last release is the inline editing support in the grid. In this, I will show you the inline editing of product of my last post, but this time with our Grid. The Grid should support both server and ajax editing, but in this example we will only discuss the server..... read more...

ASP.NET MVC View and Transaction - Kazi Manzur Rashid's(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by mithu(570) 2 years, 6 months ago

Scott showed how to render the Grid in a Transaction. Certainly it does the job but in my opinion view component should not be responsible for this kind of cross cutting concerns, instead we can use the Action Filters. Lets see how we can utilize the Action Filter in this scenario instead of modifying the Grid code. What Scott is trying to do is encapsulate the data access operation in a transaction, the Action Filter has several methods which the ASP.NET MVC framework executes in different stages of a request. In this case, we will use the OnActionExecuting which fires before the code enters into the controller method to start a transaction and OnResultExecuted which fires when the view is processed, we will commit/rollback based upon the status, here is the code that would process the action result in a transaction: read more...
