    All good blogging platforms have theme support. So while working on WeBlog I initially implemented theme support by using a base controller class. The base controller class was responsible for dynamically setting the master page at runtime. I did this by assigning the action’s MasterName property in the OnActionExecuted event. Here is a short snippet of code which outlines the process. public class BaseController { protected override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)...

    In the first version of ASP.NET MVC, I found myself creating a lot of HTML Helpers and Partial Views in order to promote code re-use and to standardize formatting of certain data types across views. For example, let's say that I want every date in my application to use the formatting of “MM/dd/yyyy”. In MVC 1.0, I would have made the following HTML Helper: public static string FormatDate(this HtmlHelper helper, DateTime value ) { return value.ToString( MM/dd/yyyy ); } Once the HTML Helper ...
