C# 5 PropertyChanged - No more magic strings!(www.robfe.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 5 days ago

Changes in C# 5 mean no more NotifyPropertyChanged("SomeVariable"), which is a common source of bugs. It also means we no longer have to suffer the performance degradation associated with using workarounds such as lambda's just for the sake of compile-time checking. From here on out, the compiler does the work for us. read more...

3 ways to Sort in Descending order via lambdas In C# , one can sort the List of Objects using Lambdas easily .

For example , i use the below class for the datapublic class Movie { public string MovieName { get; set; } public string Actor { get; set; } } read more...

C# compiler uses Duck-Typing, not IEnumerable, for foreach loops(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 8 months, 18 days ago

Turns out that according to this post, and the C# 1.0 specification, that foreach loops in C# do not use IEnumerable (as found in the documentation) but rather duck-typing. Not necessarily consequential to our every day programming lives, but interesting nonetheless. read more...

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...
