Automatically Infer MVC Validation Rules Based on LINQ to SQL Schema(goneale.com)

submitted by goneale(1055) 1 year, 9 months ago

Hey gang, just a quickie today. I have been working recently on setting up server side and client side model validation “by the book” in ASP.NET MVC 2 complete with data annotations and the first question that hit me when I was declaring attributes on my LINQ to SQL partial classes to determine model validation was “hold on, surely there is a way to automagically have MVC infer my validation rules based on my database schema…” read more...

.NET Framework/ASP.NET/C# Development - Ultimate Learning Resources(goneale.com)

submitted by goneale(1055) 2 years, 2 months ago

Today I am taking a few minutes time-out to share some links with you I found for a friend today who wished to start out learning ASP.NET web development. I’m sharing them because I was absolutely astonished at how hard it was to find any decent, rich tutorial resources on the topic of ASP.NET and C# development. Many of the top ranking links on Google I felt did not either start at the right place, were too complicated for beginners or was missing information, but more so I wanted to hand on a single reliable one-stop-shop link I could trust they could use to learn ASP.NET and C# development from beginner to advanced. read more...

‘Win XP’ Message Box Fallback for TaskDialog in Win API Code Pack(goneale.com)

submitted by goneale(1055) 2 years, 8 months ago

I have made a helper class to the TaskDialog method that is featured in the Windows API Code Pack (available for a couple of months now), which gracefully downgrades the TaskDialog to a standard System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox if the client operating system is not supported, ie. if the client is not using Windows Vista or higher. read more...

Updating Multiple Child Objects And/Or Collections in ASP.NET MVC View(goneale.com)

submitted by goneale(1055) 2 years, 10 months ago

Have you found yourself using ASP.NET MVC quite merrily building views and controllers and master/detail forms with 1-1 objects from your database to your view and now you’ve hit a hairy case which has ruined everything when you have a child and/or child collection object you also need to update on the form (or multiple of each one!) and have no idea how to tackle it? *breath* Well I was the same up until about an hour ago. read more...

T4 Toolbox Offers Alternate LINQ to SQL Class Generator: Explained(goneale.com)

submitted by goneale(1055) 2 years, 10 months ago

If you aren’t up with the know, T4 Templates or the Text Template Transformation Toolkit is a Microsoft template-driven code generation toolkit baked right into Visual Studio 2008 (and available in Visual Studio 2005 as an additional download) which allows you to do some pretty cool stuff in the way of code generation — that being generating classes, sql scripts, MVC and/or Dynamic Data templates, or anything you like really. It can plug in and read database information quickly and has gained a lot more traction over the last year or so with the adoption by ASP.NET MVC and Dynamic Data really driving it’s name, however unfortunately with the lack of great IDE support, which I’m hoping might change a little come Visual Studio 2010 there is no in-built syntax highlighting or easy way to get started with using it (eg. no “Add new item”). However, it’s a great system and can provide loads of benefit out of the box. read more...

What & Why Choose F#?(goneale.com)

I am becoming more interested in F# lately, learning a little more on what it’s all about and in my travels I have stumbled across a few links and topics on why one should use F# and what it’s all about. I thought I might share. Shamefully, I personally have still been too flat out to use it myself, but hoping that will change very soon! read more...
