Evolution of the Async Controller in ASP.NET MVC(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 4 months, 16 days ago

Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind. They appeared in ASP.NET MVC 2, remained untouched in v3, but now in MVC 4 (especially in combination with C# 5 and async/await) they reached the same easiness of use of the standard synchronous controller. Check out that absolutely awesome stuff you can do with them now! read more...

Windows Phone 7.5 - Using advanced tiles API(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 4 months, 17 days ago

There is not any doubt, the first thing you meet when you use Windows Phone are the tiles. These are the large squares on the home screen that identifies some applications and they are also a distinguishable character that make your Windows Phone unique. As you know for sure, the tiles can be attached or detached from the home screen and some particular software can take advantage of double size tiles. While this is not a feature available to developers, in OS7.5, the tiles gained new features and a new set of APIs that you can use to enrich your applications. As an example you are now able to update your tiles from inside the application and you can use double faced tiles to improve information to the user. In this article I would like to explore these new features and show how to take advantage of them, while porting your software to the new operating system. read more...

Touch Friendly Design–Making Touchable Targets(professionalaspnet.com)

submitted by docluv(1575) 6 months, 16 days ago

The way we design application clients has radically changed in the past couple of years with the proliferation of SmartPhone and tablets with touch screens. Touch is the newest common user input methodology. Sadly it seems to be broadly ignored by the developer majority. By this I want to call attention to the way we design modern web and native mobile applications, which tends to retain aspects common to legacy web sites. read more...

C# 5 PropertyChanged - No more magic strings!(www.robfe.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 4 days ago

Changes in C# 5 mean no more NotifyPropertyChanged("SomeVariable"), which is a common source of bugs. It also means we no longer have to suffer the performance degradation associated with using workarounds such as lambda's just for the sake of compile-time checking. From here on out, the compiler does the work for us. read more...
