Automatically minify and combine JavaScript in Visual Studio(encosia.com)

submitted by gt1329a(7849) 2 years, 8 months ago

As you begin developing more complex client-side functionality, managing the size and shape of your JavaScript includes becomes a key concern. It’s all too easy to accidentally end up with hundreds of kilobytes of JavaScript spread across many separate HTTP requests, significantly slowing down your initial page loads. I hope you’ll find that this technique is a good compromise between the tedium of using manual minification tools and the overwrought complexity of setting up some of the more “enterprisey” automation solutions. read more...

ASP.NET MVC Domain Routing(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 8 months ago

Ever since the release of ASP.NET MVC and its routing engine (System.Web.Routing), Microsoft has been trying to convince us that you have full control over your URL and routing. This is true to a certain extent: as long as it’s related to your application path, everything works out nicely. If you need to take care of data tokens in your (sub)domain, you’re screwed by default. read more...

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 for MSDN Subscribers(vistadb.net)

submitted by vistadb(879) 2 years, 8 months ago

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 is now on MSDN along with .Net 4 Beta 1. Some highlights from the information: .Net 4.0 Cloud Development - Windows Azure which is basically utility computing where you pay by the hour for your usage. Parallel Development - Not sure if this only means PLINQ for .Net developers or if they are only talking about C++ devs. TDD Improvements - Editor changes for building test cases first, and then writing the code. ASP.NET - CSS grids and design surfaces changes, more Javascript debugging improvements. C++ Compiler - Lots of changes for C++ development, including MFC. Sharepoint templates New Project Templates Windows 7 - MFC updates for Ribbon UI, and WPF changes. Application Model Changes - Reverse existing codebases, and lots of changes in Architect Edition to support more model types (including Class Libraries finally). Test Runner - This is potentially huge as it allows testers to submit bug reports complete with callstacks and traces that you can actually use to resume an app at the error point to avoid the dreaded No Repro on bug reports. I have seen this demo and it is quite impressive. We will see how it actually works though. read more...

Creating Your First MVC ViewEngine(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorph(3314) 2 years, 8 months ago

A question that I have been hearing a lot lately is: How do I change the view location in MVC? But what they really mean to say is: How do I create a new ViewEngine that uses the view locations of my choosing? It is actually very simple to do, and once you see it, I think you will agree with my assessment. The first thing we are going to do to create our custom ViewEngine, is define the paths that we want to use for our master pages, view pages, and shared pages. I have taken the liberty to define the following paths, you can customize them however you wish: read more...

Defending code generation(nesteruk.org)

submitted by dmitri(408) 2 years, 9 months ago

As a practitioner of code generation in its various guises, I’m always intrigued by anyone who proclaims that code generation is somehow bad or evil. Since this subject has been raised in people’s blogs, like, a zillion times, I cannot help but think that anything I write to defend the practice of code generation is like a drop in a lake of tears shed by developers who have had negative experiences with code generation. read more...
