Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with Cucumber and ASP.NET MVC(blogs.visoftinc.com)

submitted by dwhitedwhite(250) 1 year, 11 months ago

While developing with Rails, I was practicing BDD with Cucumber. I felt that Cucumber scenarios (written Gherkin) were far more useful for the majority of my testing on a web application. In this post, I use Cucumber and Webrat for fast BDD testing with an ASP.NET MVC (although it could be ANY web application, like WebForms, etc) read more...

Silverlight 3 NavigationCacheMode To The Rescue(blogs.visoftinc.com)

submitted by dwhitedwhite(250) 2 years, 8 months ago

I’ve been lucky enough to work on a new project for a client involving Silverlight 3 and the Silverlight Virtual Earth CTP. One reoccurring issue that keeps coming up is performance, and I’m always looking for ways to balance functionality with speed. In the app we are loading up a Virtual Earth map and populating it with data (nothing new). We have a fair amount of data being loaded for various functions and layers. Users are able to show and hide layers as well as interact with the map’s basic functions (zoom, pan, etc). Users can then navigate to other areas based on selections from the map page. read more...

ASP.NET MVC and the Templated Partial View - Death to ASCX(jeffreypalermo.com)

submitted by dwhitedwhite(250) 2 years, 11 months ago

We are used to master pages and applying them to ASPX pages. Then we pull small parts of the view into user controls or ASCX. In ASP.NET MVC, we use ASCX files as partial views because the user control model is so baked into our thinking. I propose that ASCX does not provide much benefit in ASP.NET MVC. It’s usefulness may end with using the extension as a naming convention for the easy identification of partial views. Beyond that, it’s pretty thin. read more...

ObjectDataSource SOA Style(blogs.visoftinc.com)

submitted by dwhitedwhite(250) 3 years, 8 months ago

So here's the scenario. After really digging your teeth into ASP.NET 2.0 and playing around wiih all the cool data access features, you decide to apply a liberal use of the ObjectDataSource for its ability to take care of the paging and sorting calls for you. Now, you begin to convert your site to a service oriented back end and you wonder how you're going to make calls against your web service. You have a few options in front of you. You can create a thin facade layer that will act as a liaison between your presentation code and your service layer calls, and hook your ObjectDataSource to that. This works especially well when you have a complex object model that makes use of the web service calls behind the scenes. It's also beneficial when you are generating your proxy classes from metadata or contacting a foreign web service. read more...
