Changing the default HTML Templates to HTML5 in Visual Studio
Dec 1123If you're using Visual Studio 2010 to create Web applications, you probably have found out that the default Web templates for ASP.NET Web Forms and Master pages and plain HTML pages all create HTML 4 XHTML headers like this: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="$fileinputname$.aspx.cs" Inherits="$rootnamespace$.$classname$" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w...

Using QUnit with Razor Layouts
Dec 1111Given how central JavaScript is to many modern web applications, it is important to use unit tests to drive the design and quality of that JavaScript. But I’ve noticed that there are a lot of developers that don’t know where to start. There are many test frameworks out there, but the one I love is QUnit, the jQuery unit test framework. Most of my experience with QUnit is writing tests for a client script library such as a jQuery plugin. Here’s an example of one QUnit test file I wrote a ...

Razor Donut Caching
Nov 1126Donut caching, the ability to cache an entire page except for a small region of the page (or set of regions) has been conspicuously absent from ASP.NET MVC since version 2. Mmmmm, donuts! – Photo by Pzado at sxc.hu This is something that’s on our Roadmap for ASP.NET MVC 4, but we have yet to flesh out the design. In the meanwhile, there’s a new NuGet package written by Paul Hiles that brings donut caching to ASP.NET MVC 3. I haven’t tried it myself yet, so be forewarned, but judging by th...

Loading jQuery Consistently in a .NET Web App
Oct 1110One thing that frequently comes up in discussions when using jQuery is how to best load the jQuery library (as well as other commonly used and updated libraries) in a Web application. Specifically the issue is the one of versioning and making sure that you can easily update and switch versions of script files with application wide settings in one place and having your script usage reflect those settings in the entire application on all pages that use the script. Although I use jQuery as an exa...

Getting a Web Resource Url in non WebForms Applications
Oct 1105WebResources in ASP.NET are pretty useful feature. WebResources are resources that are embedded into a .NET assembly and can be loaded from the assembly via a special resource URL. WebForms includes a method on the ClientScriptManager (Page.ClientScript) and the ScriptManager object to retrieve URLs to these resources. For example you can do: ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(typeof(ControlResources), ControlResources.JQUERY_SCRIPT_RESOURCE); GetWebResourceUrl requires a type (which is use...

7 books for a .NET Summer reading list (2011 version)

Adding Export Capabilities to the Razor WebGrid
Sep 1103When MVC first came out I really missed having a grid control. Now a few years later, we finally have a grid control again. In case, you didnt know the WebGrid was included in the System.Web.Helpers assembly which shipped with MVC 3. After using a variety of grid controls over the years I was actually glad that the API for the new WebGrid was kept clean and simple. Here is a screenshot of what the grid looks like: To display a grid on a razor view page, you basically create a new grid objec...
