Evolution of the Async Controller in ASP.NET MVC(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by dpeterson(4397) 4 months, 17 days ago

Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind. They appeared in ASP.NET MVC 2, remained untouched in v3, but now in MVC 4 (especially in combination with C# 5 and async/await) they reached the same easiness of use of the standard synchronous controller. Check out that absolutely awesome stuff you can do with them now! read more...

Windows Phone 7.5 - Using advanced tiles API(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 4 months, 18 days ago

There is not any doubt, the first thing you meet when you use Windows Phone are the tiles. These are the large squares on the home screen that identifies some applications and they are also a distinguishable character that make your Windows Phone unique. As you know for sure, the tiles can be attached or detached from the home screen and some particular software can take advantage of double size tiles. While this is not a feature available to developers, in OS7.5, the tiles gained new features and a new set of APIs that you can use to enrich your applications. As an example you are now able to update your tiles from inside the application and you can use double faced tiles to improve information to the user. In this article I would like to explore these new features and show how to take advantage of them, while porting your software to the new operating system. read more...

OWASP Top 10 for .NET devs part 8: Failure to Restrict URL Access(www.troyhunt.com)

submitted by troyhunt(831) 9 months, 26 days ago

What makes this particular risk so dangerous is that not only can it be used to very, very easily exploit an application, it can be done so by someone with no application security competency – it’s simply about accessing a URL they shouldn’t be. On the positive side, this is also a fundamentally easy exploit to defend against. ASP.NET provides both simple and efficient mechanisms to authenticate users and authorise access to content. In fact the framework wraps this up very neatly within the provider model which makes securing applications an absolute breeze. read more...

Continuous code quality measurement with NDepend and TeamCity(www.troyhunt.com)

submitted by troyhunt(831) 1 year, 5 months ago

One thing I’ve found about code reviews in the past – either manual or auto-generated – is that if you do them at the end of a project, it’s too late! You always end up between a rock and a hard place where on the one hand, you feel you’ve got a steaming heap of garbage, but on the other hand you’ve got deadlines and anxious customers. What you really want to do is to bring your code quality metrics bang into the development process so they’re visible to everyone every single day. You kick them off on day one when there’s an empty project and you don’t stop until the whole thing is delivered. This is where the build server comes into play. read more...

submitted by mbcrump(1034) 1 year, 8 months ago

In case you are living under a rock, IE9 Beta was released today. This browser is a major update to the previous version IE8. It is also supposed to give Firefox/Chrome a run for its money. How did it turn out? Read below to find out. So what are the best features of IE9? Lets give it a quick run-through then we are going to look at a few key features and a benchmark (note the benchmark is against a beta – so things may change). Hardware accelerated HTML5 Support : This is absolutely the biggest reason to upgrade to IE9. This includes the new H264 Video Support, SVG and CSS3. Brand new JavaScript Engine: Called Chakra. This will run on a separate core and allow you to render JavaScript faster. DirectX Video Acceleration – This will use less of the CPU to render video. So far it has smoked Google Chrome while playing 2 720p videos at once. Developers Tools added. Just hit F12 to access the tools. read more...
