GZip/Deflate Compression in ASP.NET MVC
Apr 1228A long while back I wrote about GZip compression in ASP.NET. In that article I describe two generic helper methods that I've used in all sorts of ASP.NET application from WebForms apps to HttpModules and HttpHandlers that require gzip or deflate compression. The same static methods also work in ASP.NET MVC. Here are the two routines: /// <summary> /// Determines if GZip is supported /// </summary> /// <returns></returns> public static bool IsGZipSupported() { string AcceptEncoding = HttpCon...

XmlWriter and lower ASCII characters
Jan 1202Ran into an interesting problem today on my CodePaste.net site: The main RSS and ATOM feeds on the site were broken because one code snippet on the site contained a lower ASCII character (CHR(3)). I don't think this was done on purpose but it was enough to make the feeds fail. After quite a bit of debugging and throwing in a custom error handler into my actual feed generation code that just spit out the raw error instead of running it through the ASP.NET MVC and my own error pipeline I foun...

Web Forms Model Binding Part 3: Updating and Validation (ASP.NET 4.5 Series)
Oct 1131This is the fifth in a series of blog posts I’m doing on ASP.NET 4.5. The next releases of .NET and Visual Studio include a ton of great new features and capabilities. With ASP.NET 4.5 you’ll see a bunch of really nice improvements with both Web Forms and MVC – as well as in the core ASP.NET base foundation that both are built upon. Today’s post is the third of three posts in the series that talk about the new Model Binding support coming to Web Forms. Model Binding is an extension of the ...

Preventing CSRF With Ajax
Oct 1111A long while ago I wrote about the potential dangers of Cross-site Request Forgery attacks, also known as CSRF or XSRF. These exploits are a form of confused deputy attack. Screen grab from The Police Academy movie.In that post, I covered how ASP.NET MVC includes a set of anti-forgery helpers to help mitigate such exploits. The helpers include an HTML helper meant to be called in the form that renders a hidden input, and an attribute applied to the controller action to protect. These helpers...

10 articles on ASP.NET MVC Extensibility to land on Simple-Talk in the next months
Sep 1126If you are following my blog since at least a few years you know that one of my main interest is the possibility to extend ASP.NET MVC and fine tune it to fit your (and your team’s) needs. One of my most popular posts is 13 ASP.NET MVC extensibility points you have to know, which I published almost 2 years and half ago (and was based on ASP.NET MVC v1). Still on the same subject I gave a two hours long presentation at Umbraco CodeGarden ‘10 Mvc Pre-Conf: ASP.NET MVC Extensibility. To try a...

Writing an ASP.NET MVC Controller Inspector
Aug 111199.99999% of the time (yes, I measured it), a controller in ASP.NET MVC is a type, and an action is a method — with reflection as the glue that holds it all together. For most folks, that’s the best way to view how ASP.NET MVC works. But some folks like to dig deeper and get their hands dirty a bit by taking a peek under the hood. Doing so reveals that while the reflection based mapping of controllers types and actions to methods is true by default, it can be easily changed to something else...

Jul 1122I LOVE great debugging tools. Anything that makes it easier for me to make a site correct and fast is glorious.

The history of ASP.NET MVC, so far
Jun 1129This post is a mile high overview of the history of ASP.NET MVC, the features it brought with the various versions and the extensibility points introduced. I am starting to work on both a series of webcasts and articles and I was doing some preparatory work, collecting information on the various features and extensibility points that got into the various (official) releases of ASP.NET MVC, so I thought it could have been useful to share my little summary. There have been 3 major official r...
