  • A Better ASP.NET MVC Mobile Device Capabilities ViewEngine

    A Better ASP.NET MVC Mobile Device Capabilities ViewEngine

    In March of 2009 I spoke at Mix 09, Microsoft's Web Conference and presented a number of ASP.NET MVC features. I extended the NerdDinner Sample with a naive implementation of what I called a MobileCapableWebFormViewEngine. Here's the basic implementation. Don't use this, it's broken. public class MobileCapableWebFormViewEngine : WebFormViewEngine{ public override ViewEngineResult FindView(ControllerContext controllerContext, string viewName, string masterName, bool useCache) { ViewEngineRes...

    Hosting Your Own Local and Remote NuPack Feeds

    Note: Everything I write here is based on a very early pre-release version of NuPack and is subject to change. A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post introducing the first preview, CTP 1, of NuPack Package Manager. It’s an open source (we welcome contributions!) developer focused package manager meant to make it easy to discover and make use of third party dependencies as well as keep them up to date. As of CTP 1, NuPack by default queries an online ATOM feed temporarily located at http://go....

    NuPack is a free open source developer focused package manager intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development. After several months of work, the Outercurve Foundation (formerly CodePlex Foundation) today announced the acceptance of the NuPack project to the ASP.NET Open Source Gallery. This is another contribution to the foundation by the Web Platform and Tools (WPT) team at Microsoft. Also be sure to read Scott Guthrie’...

    The original NerdDinner Sample was very simple. Two samples, simple, in fact. Perhaps it's the new Northwind, as it's a good way to start working with ASP.NET MVC. However, it's not a perfect sample or an idealized example on how to do many things that users want to do. Fortunately, there's been lots of cool folks in the community who have forked NerdDinner and done interesting stuff with it. Each of these samples is usually focused on a specific scenario, so they won't necessarily be merge...

    Few months back, I started blogging on developing a Url Shrinking Service in ASP.NET MVC, but could not complete it due to my engagement with my professional projects. Recently, I was able to manage some time for this project to complete the remaining features that we planned for the initial release. So I am announcing the official release, the source code is hosted in codeplex, you can also see it live in action over here. The features that we have implemented so far: Public: OpenID Log...

    Hot on the heels of the release of ASP.NET MVC 2 yesterday, I’m happy to announce that we are releasing the source code to ASP.NET MVC 2 under the Ms-PL license, an OSI approved Open Source license. This continues the trend from nearly a year ago when we released ASP.NET MVC 1.0 under the Ms-PL. You can read my blog post there to learn more about the hard work that goes into such releases. While I’m one who loves lawyer jokes, I do appreciate the work that they do (one of my best friends i...
