The Big View Engine Comparison – Razor vs. Spark vs. NHaml vs. WebForm(www.ironshay.com)

submitted by shayfriedman(1411) 1 year, 6 months ago

One of the cool things about ASP.NET MVC (and other MVC web frameworks) is its capability to change the default view engine with a Microsoft or a 3rd-party one. In this post I’m going through the basic operations we do with our views and show you how to get them done with the default web forms view engine, Razor, Spark and NHaml. read more...

Technical Debt Is Like Your Friend, The Mafia Bookie(www.lostechies.com)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 1 year, 7 months ago

You’ve known the guy for years… he’s your friend and you’ve never had any troubles in spite of his job. Then one day, you’re hard up for some money to pay rent or get a car repair done. Fortunately your friend is there to help. In spite of your misgivings about taking money from him, he assures you that it’s just a friendly loan between people that have known each other for years. It has nothing to do with his professional life, he says. In fact, it was such a small amount of money that he may not even ask you to repay it. You can relax knowing that it’s not a big deal and you took care of your needs. read more...

Working with WCF: Part Six – Fault Contracts(jamescbender.com)

submitted by JamesCBender(749) 1 year, 11 months ago

What is and why do we need a Fault Contract? Well, if the days of ASMX based web services there was no built-in way to report exceptions back to the client. For the most part, the only way a client found out something was wrong was that the call to the web service timed out. There was no other explanation. This was a tremendous source of frustration for client developers, and also prompted many a developer and architect to pull their hair out over the prospect of reporting some sort of exception information back to the client. A lot of developers, myself included, broke out the duct tape, chewing gum and bailing wire and attempted to build some sort of notification mechanism that would not leave the clients hanging (no pun intended). These solutions ranged from complicated to outrageously complicated. All met with limited success. WCF introduced the concept of a Fault Contract. read more...

So long Microsoft, and Thanks for all the SPLA!(blog.bvsoftware.com)

submitted by mmcconnell1618(14) 1 year, 11 months ago

I would like to take a moment and thank Microsoft for driving away developers. The .NET framework is an awesome application stack, ASP.NET was incredible when it first came out and ease of administration on SQL Server is near perfect. But like all good technology from Microsoft, it is quickly ruined by MBAs hoping to squeeze out another record-breaking quarter on Wall Street. read more...

Implementing the Notification Pattern using DataAnnotation Validator(www.bjoernrochel.de)

submitted by jiltedcitizen(563) 2 years, 1 month ago

Some weeks ago a friend of mine told me about System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations. It’s a relatively new addition to the framework, mainly Asp.net related (mh, was it Mvc or Asp.net Dynamic Data? I’m sure he told me, but I can’t remember). Although I’m more focussed on client side development (WinForms + WPF), what he told me made me curious enough to spend some time with it in order to investigate whether the DataAnnotation framework could be reused for validation in a desktop app. read more...
