ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta
Feb 1220A few days ago we released the ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta. This is a significant release that brings with it a bunch of great new features and capabilities. The ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta release works with VS 2010 and .NET 4.0, and is side-by-side compatible with prior releases of ASP.NET MVC (meaning you can safely install it and not worry about it impacting your existing apps built with earlier releases). It supports a “go-live” license that allows you to build and deploy production apps with it. Click ...

Using the Scoring Game from POP Forums with your ASP.NET MVC app
Jan 1227Let me tell you a story of HR-discouraged workplace fun. Back in the day, prior to the crash-and-burn of Insurance.com, we had this thing in the development part of the company called the Scoring Game. I wrote about it a couple of years ago on my personal blog. The long and short of it is that we kept a running total of +/-1’s for virtually anything you can think of, for each participant. This was back in 2006, before it became trendy to do it for everything else on the Internets. Later, Dig...

Implementing an Authorization Attribute for WCF Web API
Oct 1120If you’re not familiar with WCF Web API, it’s a framework with nice HTTP abstractions used to expose simple HTTP services over the web. It’s focus is targeted at applications that provide HTTP services for various clients such as mobile devices, browsers, desktop applications. In some ways, it’s similar to ASP.NET MVC as it was developed with testability and extensibility in mind. There are some concepts that are similar to ASP.NET MVC, but with a twist. For example, where ASP.NET MVC has fi...

Prevent Forms Authentication Login Page Redirect When You Don’t Want It
Oct 1104Go that way instead - Photo by JacobEnos CC some rights reserved In an ASP.NET web application, it’s very common to write some jQuery code that makes an HTTP request to some URL (a lightweight service) in order to retrieve some data. That URL might be handled by an ASP.NET MVC controller action, a Web API operation, or even an ASP.NET Web Page or Web Form. If it can return curly brackets, it can be respond to a JavaScript request for JSON. One pain point when hosting lightweight HTTP ser...

New Ajax Grid Scaffolding NuGet Package for MVC 3
Aug 1118EDITOR’S NOTE: Microsoft has an amazing intern program. For a summer, these bright college students work with a feature crew getting real work done, all the while attending cool events nearly every week that, frankly, make the rest of us jealous! Just look at some of the perks listed in this news article! This summer, the ASP.NET MVC is hosting an intern, Stephen Halter, who while very smart, doesn’t have a blog of his own (booo! hiss!). Being the nice guy that I am (and also being amenable ...

The Backbone.js Todo List Sample, Refactored - Part 1
Aug 1111This is a long post with lots of code. I want to be complete, but I also don’t want to bore you to tears. If you want to see the refactor right now - here it is. I’m fairly certain I don’t know what I’m doing - and that I probably lack the experience to even be writing this post. All I can tell you is that I have a feeling… a not so good feeling… when reading the current Todo List tutorial up on Github. So I figured I’d refactor it and submit a pull request. Is this correct? You tell me… Wh...

The BackboneJS and Knockout Danceoff
Aug 1109I just rolled out Tekpub’s latest drop for the MVC 3 series: BackboneJS with MVC 3, and a lot of people are curious why I didn’t use Knockout. So here ya go - my thoughts on the two. http://www.pimpartworks.com/artwork/gmayhew/dance-off They Don’t Do The Same Thing It’s important to realize straight away that Knockout’s focus is different than Backbone. You can do the same things with Knockout that you can with Backbone - and vise-versa - but all they definitely are not two of the same f...
