A Sordid Little Tale Of Unexpected Security Exceptions
Nov 1005It was a dark and stormy coding session; the rain fell in torrents as my eyes were locked to two LCD screens in a furious display of coding … …sorry sorry, I just can’t continue. It’s all a lie. This actually a cautionary tale describing one subtle way that you can run afoul Code Access Security (CAS) when attempting to run an application in partial trust. But who wants to read about that? Right? Right? Well this isn’t a sordid tale, but if you bear with me, you may just find it intere...

13 books for a .NET Summer reading list
Aug 1016As last year, before going on holiday I’m list some of the books that are in my reading list. It’s not entirely about .NET book, but will also cover other languages not related with .NET development at all, like Scala or Arduino. JavaScript and jQuery I think JavaScript is still the most unknown language among all the ones used to write web applications: mostly due to the fact that it lives in the limbo between developer and designer. JavaScript: The Good Parts It seems incredible, but I ...

Application Acceptance Testing
Jul 1015Yesterday evening I found a set of Google blog posts talking about web application acceptance testing which reflect Google experience through “Several years of experience across multiple project teams”.

Validating a Dynamic UI with MVC 2
Jul 1007When MVC 2 was released, there was a last minute change to use Model Validation instead of Input Validation. Essentially, Model validation means that your entire view model will be validated regardless of which values actually got posted to the server. On the other hand, with Input validation, only the values that get posted to the server will get validated. While this was the right decision by the MVC team for the most mainstream cases, there are still some cases where the previous behavior o...

Speaking about ASP.NET MVC Extensibility at the Umbraco CodeGarden10
Jun 1016Next week I’ll be speaking about ASP.NET MVC Extensibility at the MVC pre-conference during annual Umbraco CodeGarden conference in Copenhagen starting next June 23rd. The presentation will be split in the two parts (just before and just after lunch) and it will cover the most of the main extensibility points of ASP.NET MVC which I covered in my most popular post: 13 ASP.NET MVC extensibility points you have to know. And I will also talk about the new extensibility points introduced in ASP.N...

In this blog post, I will give you a feel of what you can (and can not) do with this ASP.NET-specific SiteMapProvider. As a warning: if youve used version 1 of this library, you will notice that I have not thought of backwards compatibility. A lot of principles have also changed. For good reasons though: this r...

Tekpub MVC 2.0 Starter Site
Apr 1018Another Starter Site? Yes. And no - this isn't a project template so much as it is a foundation for you to build on. You'll have about 10 minutes of nudging/tweaking things - stuff like resetting namespaces, project names, deployment stuff. After that, though, you should have the tools you need to get rolling. First things first, though: the source is up here on Codeplex and you you can watch a freebie all about it here. Data Access Everyone has their own flavor of how they like to ...
