    If you search on my blog, theres a bunch of posts where I talk about ASP.NET MVC and MEF. And whats cool: these posts are the ones that are actually being read quite often. Im not sure about which bloggers actually update their posts like if it was software, but I dont. Old posts are outdated, thats the convention when coming to my blog. However I recently received a on of questions if I could do something with ASP.NET MVC 3 and MEF. I did, and I took things seriously. Im not sure if you kno...

    I have asked it last year, and Ill ask it again. One of my session proposals made it to the shortlist for MIX11. One thing left though: votes are the only currency to get my session proposal in Vegas. Heres the session abstract: Fun with ASP.NET MVC 3 and MEF So you have a team of developers? And a nice architecture to build on? How about making that architecture easy for everyone and getting developers up to speed quickly?

    In this blog post, I will cover two interesting tools that, when combined, can bring great value and speed at the beginning of any new software project that has to meet standards that are to be re-used for every project. The tools? Templify and NuGet. You know the drill. Starting off with a new project usually consists of boring, repetitive tasks, often enforced by (good!) practices defined by the company you work for (or by yourself for that company). To give you an example of a project Ive...

    Get the goodies here. Yes, another preview, this being #4. A new preview/beta has not yet been released for MVC3, and I wanted to hold off until it did come, but why wait?

Added since then: Error logging Session tracking Time adjustments based on server or user's time zone User delete and delete-ban from admin No sign-up from banned e-mail or IP addresses Background service...

    I needed to have a drop down list of all the months but I don't want to be writing all of that out. So is there a way to list all the months programmatically in C#. Hell yeah there is I knew there would be a way to do it and I knew it would be something to do with the CultureInfo of the session. Here is a method I wrote to return a set of key values for each month: public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<int, string>> GetAllMonths() { for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++) { yield return new KeyValuePair<int...
