Extract to User Control in visual studio11(www.dotnetjalps.com)

submitted by jalpesh(1347) 3 days, 18 hours ago

I have been playing with Visual Studio 11 beta recently and everyday I am amazed with new features of it. Today I have found one more very useful feature Extract to User Control feature. In large projects, we are having large pages and its always good to user control(.ascx) but sometimes we are so lazy to create user controls and we remain with the whole page and even we can’t reuse that code. In similar kind of situation ‘Extract to user control’ can be quite useful. Suppose we have long HTML mark up and we need to convert one div to user control and then we can do it very easily with Visual Studio 11 beta Extract to User Control feature. read more...

9 Steps You Can Take to Start Weaning Yourself off Web Forms(www.rogerharford.com)

submitted by SymetriX(25) 3 days, 21 hours ago

ASP.NET MVC is seeing a lot of enthusiasm from the community right now, but not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to make the switch right away. Some of you may be maintaining large applications where a full rewrite is not possible, or at least not in the immediate future. That doesn’t mean there aren’t steps you can take to get your code ready for an eventual transition to MVC. read more...

MVC Strongly-Typed Action Helpers - They're Back!(chriscavanagh.wordpress.com)

submitted by BobStrogg(1033) 4 days, 8 hours ago

Way back in 2009, the MVC Futures assembly introduced “strongly-typed action helpers”. They allowed you to render links using lambda expressions pointing directly to the actions on your controller, rather than using strings. Here's an alternative implementation that aims to resolve some of the performance issues they had. read more...

Using ASP.NET MVC 4, ApiControllers and SQL Server 2012(galratner.com)

submitted by galratner(334) 4 days, 17 hours ago

ASP.NET MVC continues to innovate and in its current version (4) it offers support for Web APIs. Today we are going to examine a real life scenario of using Web APIs along with MVC 4 as we are utilizing the Google Earth plug-in to mark a defined area and SQL Server 2012 geography type to help us persist and calculate GIS data. In our example we are going to mark an area on the globe using a polygon, calculate the center of the area, find all of the coffee shops closest to the center of the area and arrange them by distance. We are going to mark them on the map as well as show a full list including ranking. read more...

JSON Serialization in .NET 4.0 (www.keivansadra.com)

submitted by techiemae(64) 5 days, 8 hours ago

Serialization is the process of converting a logical and in-memory object to a string data-type. This has many advantages such as: Storing this data in a database and later retrieving it, exposing an API that serves this data for consumers to use, and many more. JSON is the JavaScript Object Notation and it's used to represent JavaScript objects in string format. There are a ton of benefits to using this format in JavaScript-rich, interactive programs. read more...

EF 4.1+ POCO, Repository and Specification Pattern Framework(huyrua.wordpress.com)

submitted by wladek(38) 5 days, 23 hours ago

I've been playing around with Code First EF implementations for awhile now and by far the best implementation I've seen is a framework by Huy Rua. It has the following functionality baked in: True Separation of Concerns for entities (no need for a data annotations dependency). A Generic Repository. This should do the trick for 80% of your standard CRUD operations without the need for repo's per entity. Supports multiple DbContext's and builds them dynamically. And finally a straightforward Specification pattern implementation. I use it as a base data layer for all my projects. read more...

Windows 8 Metro: Something about application life-cycle(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 5 days, 23 hours ago

Also if currently you are probably running Windows 8 on a virtual machine or luckily on a computer, there is not any doubt that this new operating system and especially the metro-style interface is dedicated to touch enabled devices like tablets. The plans of Microsoft infact include the new WOA keywork where the acronym stands for Windows On ARM that is the aim of making available this interface on a wide set of mobile devices that currently embrace this successful processor architecture. Running on a tablet does not only imply a different input interface like the touch screen, but also it requires a careful use of system resources that are not always large on this kind of device. This is the reason why metro-style applications have an application lifecycle that is mostly similar to the Windows Phone than of classical desktop apps. read more...
