ASP.NET MVC Now Accepting Pull Requests
Mar 1229Changing a big organizations is a slow endeavor. But when people are passionate and persistent, change does happen. Three years ago, the ASP.NET MVC source code was released under an open source license. But at the time, the team could not accept any code contributions. In my blog post talking about that release, I said the following (emphasis added): Personally (and this is totally my own opinion), I’d like to reach the point where we could accept patches. There are many hurdles in the w...

Writing a Recipe for ASP.NET MVC 4 Developer Preview
Sep 1122NOTE: This blog post covers features in a pre-release product, ASP.NET MVC 4 Developer Preview. You’ll see we call out those two words a lot to cover our butt. The specifics about the feature will change and this post will become out-dated. You’ve been warned. All good recipes call for a significant amount of garlic. Introduction Last week I spoke at the //BUILD conference on building mobile web applications with ASP.NET MVC 4. In the talk, I demonstrated a recipe I wrote that automates...

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...

MyGet now supports pushing from the command line
Jun 1101One of the work items we had opened for MyGet was the ability to push packages to a private feed from the command line. Only a few hours after our initial launch, David Fowler provided us with example code on how to implement NuGet command line pushes on the server side. An evening of coding later, I quickly hacked this into MyGet, which means that we now support pushing packages from the command line! For those that did not catch up with my blog post overload of the past week: MyGet offers ...

Creating your own private NuGet feed: MyGet
May 1131Ever since NuGet came out, Ive been thinking about leveraging it in a corporate environment. I'veseen two NuGet server implementations appear on the Internet: the official NuGet gallery server and Phil Haacks NuGet.Server package. As these both are good, theres one thing wrong with them: you can't be lazy! You haveto do some stuff you dont always want to do, namely: configure and deploy. After discussing some ideas with my colleague Xavier Decoster, we decided its time to turn our heads into...

Conditional Filters in ASP.NET MVC 3
Apr 1125Say you want to apply an action filter to very action except one. How would you go about it? For example, suppose you want to apply an authorization filter to every action except the action that lets the user login. Seems like a pretty good idea, right? Currently, it takes a bit of work to do this. If you add a filter to the GlobalFilters.Filters collection, it applies to every action, which in the previous scenario would mean you already need to be authorized to login. Now that is security ...

ASP.NET MVC and the Managed Extensibility Framewok on NuGet
Feb 1101If 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...

Tools for the lazy: Templify and NuGet
Jan 1107In 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...
