I introduce a small utility that will allow generation of routes and controller actions into JavaScript to allow URL generation on the client side using ASP.NET MVC routing.

Mulit-tenant ASP.NET MVC - Controllers

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 16:41:07 GMT

The time has come to talk about controllers in a multi-tenant ASP.NET MVC architecture. This is actually the most critical design decision you will make when dealing with multi-tenancy with MVC. In my design, I took into account the design goals I mentioned in the introduction about inversion of control and what a tenant is to my design.

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 15:18:34 GMT

In my last post, I talked about some of the goals of multi-tenancy in general and some hints about my implementation. Now it is time to put a little meat on the bones. I'm ready to share my ideas about how to implement a multi-tenant system on ASP.NET MVC and IIS7.

Multi-tenant ASP.NET MVC - Introduction

Thu, 27 May 2010 00:59:05 GMT

In this first post, I discuss what multi-tenancy means and how my implementation will be structured for use in ASP.NET MVC. Multi-tenancy is a technique used by many developers to increase IIS efficiency and reuse code. This is an introduction into some of the core elements of multi-tenancy and how to use multi-tenancy in ASP.NET MVC.

A new way to filter a list by URL - StringToIQueryable

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:50:53 GMT

Ever see a URL with a bunch of query string variables that is used to filter a list result? There is a new way to write and parse a query parameter using a parser monad and a few standard combinators that can be used to filter an IQueryable based on a pre-defined syntax. Have a look at the code that will make your querying easier with MVC.

Maybe Monad. My C# version

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 03:22:05 GMT

Functional programming paradigms are increasingly important to all .NET developers. Monads are key concepts in functional languages. The maybe monad seen in some languages can be ported to C#. In this post, I detail the elements key to the maybe monad and the implementation decisions made when creating such a container.

ASP.NET MVC custom ActionResult (ImageResult)

Tue, 13 May 2008 19:33:03 GMT

The ASP.NET MVC framework introduces the concept of returning an ActionResult in Controllers since the "preview preview" release on CodePlex. The purpose of this concept is to return a generic ActionResult object for each Controller method, allowing different child classes returning different results. In this blog post, I will build a custom ActionResult class which will render an image to the HTTP response stream.

Moving away from the postback mindset and utilizing the Post, Redirect, Get pattern within ASP.NET MVC to achieve true separation and less chance of reposting form information.

Code Based Repeater for ASP.NET MVC

Mon, 05 May 2008 05:01:02 GMT

A foreach loop doesn't help you handle alternating items, for example. My response to this story is, "The foreach loop is not our repeater control. Our repeater control is an iterating extension method with lambdas!". Because who doesn't love lambdas?

A C# Operator I would like to see.

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:46:03 GMT

You could argue there are too many operators in C# as it is; however, I feel having an acute knowledge of the available operators is like knowing CTRL + B will bold the selected text in most word processing software. To put it simply, it hurts no-one, whilst providing shortcuts to advanced users...

I build on my last technique of generating CSS Sprites and make a unique solution for the MVC framework using a custom ActionResult.
