    The evolution of asynchronous controllers in ASP.NET MVC

    Asynchronous 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...

    Referencing Routes in ASP.NET MVC The Rails Way

    Routing is probably the most confusing aspect of working with ASP.NET MVC. It’s hard to craft a groovy URL - even harder to link properly off to that groovy URL. Rails leans on Ruby’s forgiving and friendly nature to make this a bit more simple - C#4 allows to get close to this as well. With Rails 3  you define a route in your config/routes.rb like this: match "order/receipt/:id" => "orders#receipt", :as => :receipt # receipt_url You can access this route anywhere in your application ...

    In the spirit of being as transparent as possible - I thought I’d follow up on our plans for the forthcoming Mastering ASP.NET MVC 3 series. Many people have asked what we’ll be doing - so here’s what I’ve put together. Keeping It Real Overwhelmingly people have asked for a “real-world, advanced look at MVC 3”. They’re tired of the scaffold demos and Hello World things you see online. They’re impressive demos, to be sure, but don’t directly suggest to developers “this is how you can make you...

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...
