Is this the easiest way to Convert an ASP.Net Virtual Path to a URI?(blueonionsoftware.com)

submitted by blueonion(150) 3 years, 5 months ago

ASP.Net has a boat load of methods for dealing with paths. However, no where can I find a method to convert a virtual path (~/) to its equivalent Uri. Perhaps it’s there but darn if I can find it. The best I can up with is: var uri = Request.Url.GetLeftPart(UriPartial.Authority) + ResolveUrl("~/SomePage.aspx"); If the site is hosted at: http://example.com/website, then this code yields http://example.com/website/SomePage.aspx, which is what I want. Perhaps there is a better way to do this? read more...

Your welcome to link to this list but please don’t copy or reuse it in other publications. read more...

Singletons Revisited(blueonionsoftware.com)

submitted by blueonion(150) 3 years, 7 months ago

OK, so maybe singletons are not the pure evil suggested earlier. While useful, the usual implementation of the pattern requires exposing an Instance member to enforce the singleton semantics. An alternative shown in this article allows singletons to appear and act more like static classes and hides the implementation from the caller. read more...
