The evolution of asynchronous controllers in ASP.NET MVC
Jan 1209Asynchronous operations in ASP.NET MVC have always been left a bit behind. They appeared in ASP.NET MVC 2, remained untouched in v3, but now in MVC 4 (especially in combination with C# 5 and async/await) they reached the same easiness of use of the standard synchronous controller. Now (or better, in a few months with the release of ASP.NET MVC 4, .NET 4.5 and C# 5) you can write public async Task<ViewResult> Stuff() { return View(await DoStuff("Some stuff")); } In this post I’m going to...

RFC: Web Platform Installer (WebPI) with an offline feed mode for bandwidth savings
Sep 1124My wife is in the Kingdom of Swaziland this evening. If she was a developer over there and wanted to use Web Platform Installer to get Visual Studio or some large download she would have to patiently bring the bits down over 3G. If she was very well off, she might have ASDL with a maximum speed of 512kbps down, most likely with a cap. I've talked about limited connectivity in African countries and other nations (*cough* New Zealand *cough*) before on this blog and it's no fun. I've told the w...

Two bugs in ASP.NET MVC 3 and a workaround for both
Jun 1114So I spent an hour today arsing about with a couple of ASP.NET MVC 3 bugs. One was a Routing issue that caused it to act differently to MVC 2. The second I found was a FormsAuthentication issue that insisting on sending me to /Account/Login. Amazing how this crept in really given that it was community tested to death with such a massive ASP.NET MVC following so it is a wonder they weren't weeded out and fixed before RTM. Oh well, don't pretend you don't like a challenge. Routing doesn't work t...

Adding MVC dependencies to a project for deployment
Jun 1113Deployment of new web applications has been a bit annoying since the birth of ASP.NET MVC. Production servers with .NET 4 or 3.5 installed will still be missing key assemblies such as System.Web.Mvc.dll. This will cause errors such as "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies" and "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf38...

Mastering ASP.NET MVC 3
May 1109I’m rolling together the outline of Tekpub’s Mastering ASP.NET MVC 3 and I was hoping to drop in a couple of episodes on top of MVC 2, but it’s looking like this release has enough to easily cover 9-10 episodes. So that’s what I’m doing - starting today - rolling together a new series that will be a lot more advanced than MVC 2 - and I think I might redo MVC 2 to cover more basic principles. Thoughts? ...

Modifying the default code generation/scaffolding templates in ASP.NET MVC
Mar 1128One of the things people like the most about my ASP.NE MVC 2 Ninja Black Belt Tips video, besides the Bill Cosby sweater, is the tip where I show how to modify the default CodeTemplates that are used in Code Generation in ASP.NET MVC (either version). Eilon mentioned it on an internal mailing list this week so I thought it'd be worth surfacing again in case you haven't heard of this, Dear Reader. Soon, we'll see even more powerful, flexible, and fun ways to customize your own Scaffolding ...

Beginning ASP.NET MVC 1 is now available as a DRM-free PDF ebook
Feb 1125Since the current version of ASP.NET MVC is version 3 you might wonder why I am still promoting my Beginning ASP.NET MVC 1.0 book. The reason is that since a few week it is also available as DRM-free eBook at a discounted price directly from the Wrox site (together with many other books from Wrox). For the moment you have to enter the code FROST to get a 35% reduction on the standard price, but soon the prices on the site will be updated to reflect the reduced price. After you buy the MVC ...

How To Find Out Which NuGet Packages Depend on Yours
Feb 1124Renaming a package ID is a potentially destructive action and one we don’t recommend doing. Why? Well if any other packages depend on your package, you’ve effectively broken them if you change your package ID. For example, today I wanted to rename a poorly named package, MicrosoftWebMvc, to Mvc2Futures. What I ended up doing is recreating the same package with the new ID and uploading it. That way existing packages that depend on MicrosoftWebMvc aren’t broken. But now, I have two packages ...
