ASP.NET MVC Tip #48 – Disable Request Validation(stephenwalther.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 3 months ago

By default, the ASP.NET MVC framework prevents you from submitting form data that contains potentially malicious content. This feature is called request validation. This is a good feature. You don't want people sneaking scripts into your website that can steal passwords or other sensitive user information. Normally, you want to leave request validation enabled. Unlike a Web Forms application, you cannot disable request validation by using the <%@ Page ValidateRequest=”false” %> directive. You also cannot disable request validation in the web configuration (web.config) file. If you want to disable request validation then you must use the [ValidateInput] attribute. You apply the [ValidateInput] attribute to the controller action that accepts the form input. read more...

ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM Released!(www.microsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 4 months ago

ASP.NET MVC 3 is a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD). The installation package includes templates and tools for Visual Studio 2010 to increase productivity when writing ASP.NET MVC applications. For example, the Add View dialog box takes advantage of customizable code generation (T4) templates to generate a view based on a model object. The default project template allows the developer to automatically hook up a unit-test project that is associated with the ASP.NET MVC application. Because the ASP.NET MVC framework is built on ASP.NET 4, developers can take advantage of existing ASP.NET features like authentication and authorization, profile settings, localization, and so on. read more...

Use Non-default Membership Provider for WCF Authentication Service(msdn.microsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 6 months ago

This topic shows how to programmatically select the membership provider when you call the ASP.NET authentication service by using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). You can use a non-default membership provider when you have to authenticate users by using different membership providers, based on information that you get at run time. To authenticate through a non-default membership provider, you create an event handler for the Authenticating event. read more...

Silverlight: Embed IronRuby/DLR Scripting within XAML using IValueConv(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 7 months ago

After I wrote the “Intro to IronRuby/DLR Scripting in C# Silverlight 4 Application” post, I came across an interesting series on embedding DLR scripts in XAML with WPF. This is an interesting series, although the code doesn’t run in Silverlight, due to the fact that Silverlight is only a subset of WPF and doesn’t support the System.Windows.Markup.MarkupExtension class. I test out a couple things in Silverlight, and I was able to get similar DLR scripting functionality working under Silverlight using a combination of a simple, custom IValueConverter and a custom UserControl class. read more...

Dynamic XAP Discovery with Silverlight MEF (www.wintellect.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 1 year, 7 months ago

What's missing, it seems, is a mechanism to dynamically discover the XAPs that are available on the server. If I'm using MEF to support a plug-in architecture, for example, I might want to drop a XAP containing a new plug-in into a folder on the server and have the plug-in automatically show up in my browser the next time the application runs. MEF won't do that on its own, but it will if you lend it a helping hand. After discussing various ways to do dynamic discovery in MEF with Jeremy Likness, I wrote a sample to demonstrate a technique based on passing InitParams to the Silverlight control. The technique is pretty simple. You begin by modifying the ASPX file that hosts your Silverlight application. First, you add an empty InitParams <params> element to the <object> element that instantiates the Silverlight control, and you include an ID and a runat="server" attribute so you can manipulate the element from server-side code: read more...

This map imagery has not been officially made available for Bing Maps for Enterprise developers to use within their applications. The imagery is only officially available to the Bing Maps consumer website. Unofficially, you can still access the imagery if you know the URL format to get it. Below is an example of using the URL format for the new imagery to display it within the Bing Maps Silverlight Control. read more...
