Ordering fields in ASP.NET MVC 2 templated helpers(blog.maartenballiauw.be)

submitted by maartenba(5845) 2 years, 4 months ago

Ever worked with the templated helpers provided by ASP.NET MVC 2? Templated helpers provide a way to automatically build UI based on a data model that is marked with attributes defined in the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations namespace. For example, a property in the model can be decorated with the attribute [DisplayFormat(DataFormatString = "{0:c}")], and the templated helpers will always render this field formatted as currency. If you have worked with templated helpers, you must agree: they can be useful! There’s one thing which is impossible in the current version: ordering fields. And that's what this post will accomplish. read more...

Why You Should Use the Null Coalescing Operator(kodefuguru.com)

Hacking the ASP.NET Parser (weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 5 months ago

A while ago I blogged about using external templates in an asp.net application. The problem with that was it wasn’t natively supported, so I had to create a derived SpecialRepeater in order to take advantage of the external template system. In this latest parser hack I’ve managed to “trick” the asp.net parser into letting me declaratively set any template property to be a virtual path in order to load a user control into that template at runtime. The ASP.NET compliation system is pretty complex. There are all kinds of extensibility points, including BuildProviders, PageParserFilters, ControlBuilders, ExpressionBuilders and the list goes on. One unknown *feature* of the parser is it’s ability to generate code from something called an InstanceDescriptor. read more...

Visual Studio: Automatically increment assembly build version(code.mareoblo.pl)

submitted by elfy(230) 2 years, 8 months ago

I always wanted to have automatic build version increment for my apps and libraries to avoid setting it manually again and again. Additionally there should be support inside Visual Studio and possibility for custom settings because I like the “date sigining” where 3 last fields are just YYYY-MM-DD. A dream come true ;) in form of Build Version Increment add-in for Visual Studio 2005/2008. read more...

Creating a Html.DisplayForMany Helper for MVC 2(matthidinger.com)

submitted by mhidinger(65) 2 years, 9 months ago

The Html helper in ASP.NET MVC 2 comes with some handy methods called “DisplayFor” and “EditFor” – please see Scott Gu’s article if you are not familiar with these new features. Long story short, they provide an ASP.NET Dynamic Data-like mechanism which uses reflection and templating to render a display form or an edit form. This article explains how to take it one step further by creating a Html.DisplayForMany() helper. read more...

LINQ to SQL and Transactions(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 2 years, 10 months ago

Using explicit Transactions with Linq to Sql is fairly rare but when you need them you'll find that it natively doesn't provide manual transaction management. Rather you have to rely on the TransactionScope class to provide transaction wrapping. Here's a contrived example, and a couple of different transaction scenarios using TransactionScope to manage multiple L2S data operation as a single transaction. read more...

Microsoft Source Analysis for C# Released(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by jonas(2215) 4 years ago

From post: "Source Analysis is similar in many ways to Microsoft Code Analysis (specifically FxCop), but there are some important distinctions. FxCop performs its analysis on compiled binaries, while Source Analysis analyzes the source code directly. For this reason, Code Analysis focuses more on the design of the code, while Source Analysis focuses on layout, readability and documentation." read more...

Implementing Interfaces: ICloneable and IComparable(blog.reamped.net)

submitted by kayos(890) 4 years, 2 months ago

A friend of mine was showing me about some common interfaces and some good use cases for them the other day. A discussion arose of how to accurately create a deep copy of an object and the best way to go about it. Shortly after that discussion we got into the Sort() method and how to dictate how that method will sort your objects. This is when he spilled into telling me all about these common interfaces. read more...
