submitted by derans(323) 7 months, 11 days ago

In one of our recent code reviews, we found several methods that looked almost identical. All of these methods were just for lookup tables that populated a dropdown.

New jQuery Plugin: FunkyFocus(derans.blogspot.com)

submitted by derans(323) 1 year ago

So this jQuery plugin was built to help my end-users know immediately what section of a form they’re working on. Also, don’t blame me for the name. It was given to my new plugin by my wife because I couldn’t think of anything “catchy”. Basically what this thing does is changes the background of sections of forms or individual inputs. It’ll be better to post screenshots to get the idea…so…here you go… read more...

submitted by derans(323) 1 year ago

I recently added a partial contact view to my MVC3 project and thought I’d share since I did basically this same post over a year ago with the original MVC. I stopped using the Castle Validation because I’ve found that the MVC3 stuff is working for me now. I also am not using fluentHtml anymore because MVC3 uses that style now. read more...

Seriously WebForms like ASP.NET MVC(derans.blogspot.com)

submitted by derans(323) 1 year ago

I used my little WebFormContrib library again today. Some days I love revisiting old code because you realize how ignorant of some practices you were in the past. Hopefully none of you download it and say…geez this guy is Mr. Ignoramus. If you do, keep it to yourself. Kidding, please comment and inform the ignorant (me). read more...

ASP.NET MVC 3 Sample Project Launched(derans.blogspot.com)

submitted by derans(323) 1 year, 1 month ago

Okay, after popular demand of I think 0 people, I’ve published my old demo MVC 1 project as an MVC 3 project. If you haven’t read any of the posts on the last demo project, check out this post. This project completely separates UI & C# code, so you only have 2 projects (Core & UI…not counting the Unit Tests project). Basically, all I did was create a new MVC 3 project using Razor with Microsoft’s default template and deleted everything except the following: read more...

WebFormContrib – Sample Part 1(derans.blogspot.com)

submitted by derans(323) 1 year, 5 months ago

After using the WebFormContrib mini-framework the past couple weeks, I’ve grown to really like it. I thought I’d share some of the ways I’m using it in hopes that you might benefit from it too. This first sample is on how to show data on a page and not have to worry about any of the form elements. We will also not use any asp.net controls like gridviews, literals, or labels. So, here we go using Visual Studio 2008… read more...

Authenticating Against Multiple Domains with C# & StructureMap(derans.blogspot.com)

submitted by derans(323) 1 year, 10 months ago

In my place of work, we had a vendor come in and try to sell us a product that couldn’t authenticate to multiple domains. Well, we have multiple domains. Their suggestion was to consolidate into one…obviously we’re not using their product. So, in an effort to help out, I thought I’d share a method of authenticating to multiple domains. read more...
