Git's guts: Branches, HEAD, and fast-forwards(lostechies.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 2 years, 6 months ago

Lets get some learning done. There are a few questions that keep cropping up when I introduce people to Git, so I thought I'd post some answers as a mini-series of blog posts. I'll cover some fundamentals, while trying not to retread too much ground that the fantastic Git community book already covers so well. Instead I'm going to talk about things that should help you understand what you and Git are doing day-to-day. read more...

Returning PDFs from an ASP.NET MVC action(whereslou.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years ago

This feature is based on a post from Bill Barry, “Using Spark to render PDFs,” to the Spark discussion group. It’s based on iTextSharp, a port of the iText Java PDF library. It seemed like such a useful twist on the view engine, and so applicable to web sites, that I integrated what Bill had done into the Spark project and added a PdfViewResult action result for the ASP.NET MVC library. read more...

Using jqGrid with ASP.NET MVC: Finally, A Solution(blogs.teamb.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 1 month ago

Having introduced jqGrid and written LINQ extension methods to make supplying data to the grid easy, we’re now ready to put together a demo application. The solution I’m going to build demonstrates sorting and paging. In a future post, I will enhance it to demonstrate search, formatting, and editing data. I’ve made the demo application available for download, but be advised that I intend to update it in the next few days; it’s currently a work in progress. read more...

Using jqGrid with ASP.NET MVC: LINQ Extensions(blogs.teamb.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 1 month ago

Mere hours after I posted the first in a planned series of posts on using jqGrid in ASP.NET MVC applications, Phil Haack, a rather-more-widely-read-ASP.NET-MVC-blogger, wrote a long post on, er, exactly the same thing. Who, me, bitter? Naahhh… :) But it turns out that we’re using the grid in a different way, and I think the difference is important. So rather than just referring you to Phil’s post and skipping the rest of the series, I think I still have some important information to contribute. In particular, I’m using the grid in a way which allows me to write an extension method for IQueryable<T> which returns data suitable for the grid, without having to know anything about the type T. If you look closely at the code in Phil’s post, you will see that populating the cell array requires custom code (or use of reflection) every time you want to return data to a grid. read more...

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 1 month ago

This is the first post in a short series on using the jqGrid jQuery plug-in with ASP.NET MVC. In this short introduction I will describe the plug-in, list some of its strengths and weaknesses, and explain why we selected it for our MVC applications. In the next few days, I will give detailed information about how to use the grid in your own applications. read more...

ASP.NET MVC Tip #50 – Create View Models(stephenwalther.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 1 month ago

Recently, I noticed a nice pattern in the Nerd Dinner application. Nerd Dinner uses strongly typed view model classes to pass data from a controller to a view. This pattern provides you with a convenient way of representing complex view data. read more...

Free ASP.NET MVC eBook Tutorial - ScottGu(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 2 months ago

There has been a lot of excitement in the community about the new ASP.NET MVC framework that is about to ship (literally any day now – announcement coming soon). As with anything new, people are also asking for more tutorials/samples/documentation that cover how to get started and build applications with it. Over the last few months I’ve been helping to contribute to an ASP.NET MVC book that Scott Hanselman, Rob Conery, and Phil Haack have been writing for Wrox. The book is now in production, and will be available to buy in stores soon read more...

ASP.NET MVC RC Refresh(haacked.com)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 3 months ago

On Tuesday, we announced the release candidate for ASP.NET MVC. While there is much new in there to be excited about and many many bug fixes, there were two changes introduced in the RC that broke some scenarios which previously worked in the Beta, as reported by customers. We’ve updated the Release Candidate with a refresh that addresses these two issues. read more...

Post Pager Control - BlogEngine.Net(rtur.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

When you have lots of pages on your blog, moving through using just “next” and “previous” buttons doesn’t cut it. It seems like a small thing, but if you look at most sophisticated web 2.0-style sites with large volume of content, they all go into the long way to provide good navigation. Because it is important for your users to feel good, and some get really dizzy when they don’t understand where they are. I made this control to provide such a post navigation for BlogEngine blogs. read more...

Copy to Clipboard with ZeroClipboard, Flash 10 and jQuery(beckelman.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

So I knew it would happen at some point. Some handy flash developer would figure out how to get around the security limitation in Flash 10 that requires the System.setClipboard() method (ActionScript) to only be called by an action that originates from a user interaction. Last week I ran across an article on Ajaxian that linked to ZeroClipboard developed by Joseph Huckaby that worked as promised. read more...

Use Firefox to Spell Check your Website(urbanoalvarez.es)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

If you maintain a website, you will surely know how important it is to never have any spelling errors in your copy. And if you really care you will always run for sure a spell checker on all your text, but isn't that quite over work? Wouldn't it be much simpler if your browser did all the spell checking without you having to worry about anything? read more...

More jQuery Alert Dialogs Demo(beckelman.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Cory S.N. LaViska’s new jQuery Alert Dialogs Plugin. Since then I have used it quite a bit and have been really happy with its ease of use and simplicity. At the end of the my first post about the plugin I said I would try and show you a way to setup an alert from the server side so that it shows up once the web page loads. read more...

IIS7 and Twitter – a love story(blogs.iis.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

It is a while that I wrote something as crazy as this one is. This is basically a windows service running in your web server which would tweet often about the heart beat of the web server and posts its status messages. For example, v1.0 of this application will tweet the below (you can configure the time interval on the config file): -Total number of requests executing per application pool -Each Application pool Private bytes, and Virtual bytes memory usage -Server’s available Physical memory, and Virtual memory -Momentary Ping to a configured URL (example – http://localhost) (it will tweet only if it fails – for the moment I’m just checking if the HttpWebResponse.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK. If time permits, I’ll try to add more granular control for the error codes) -If a request takes more than specified time limit to get served read more...

There is More Content than Just the Front Page on DotNetKicks(beckelman.net)

submitted by beckelmw(2755) 3 years, 4 months ago

Are you tired of going to DotNetKicks and finding the same stories on the front page for days in a row? Trust me, there is some great content out there that never makes the front page. You just have to look a little deeper. When you do, you can help put some of that great new content in front of the masses. Even if you don’t submit stories yourself, you can still help out by giving the initial votes that push a story to the front page. read more...
