The history of ASP.NET MVC, so far
Jun 1129This post is a mile high overview of the history of ASP.NET MVC, the features it brought with the various versions and the extensibility points introduced. I am starting to work on both a series of webcasts and articles and I was doing some preparatory work, collecting information on the various features and extensibility points that got into the various (official) releases of ASP.NET MVC, so I thought it could have been useful to share my little summary. There have been 3 major official r...

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...

NuGet Package of the Week #2 - MvcMailer sends mails with ASP.NET MVC Razor Views and Scaffolding
Mar 1115Have you implemented the NuGet Action Plan? Get on it, it'll take only 5 minutes: NuGet Action Plan - Upgrade to 1.1, Setup Automatic Updates, Get NuGet Package Explorer. The Backstory: I was thinking since the NuGet .NET package management site is starting to fill up that I should start looking for gems (no pun intended) in there. You know, really useful stuff that folks might otherwise not find. I'll look for mostly open source projects, ones I think are really useful. I'll look at how th...

Announcing ASP.NET MVC 3 (Release Candidate 2)
Dec 1011Earlier today the ASP.NET team shipped the final release candidate (RC2) for ASP.NET MVC 3. You can download and install it here. Almost there… Today’s RC2 release is the near-final release of ASP.NET MVC 3, and is a true “release candidate” in that we are hoping to not make any more code changes with it. We are publishing it today so that people can do final testing with it, let us know if they find any last minute “showstoppers”, and start updating their apps to use it. We will officially...

Microsoft Introduces WebMatrix
Aug 1017originally published in CoDe Magazine Editorial Microsoft recently released the first CTP of a new development environment called WebMatrix, which along with some of its supporting technologies are squarely aimed at making the Microsoft Web Platform more approachable for first-time developers and hobbyists. But in the process, it also provides some updated technologies that can make life easier for existing .NET developers. Let’s face it: ASP.NET development isn’t exactly trivial unless y...

ASP.NET MVC 3 Preview 1 is out
Jul 1027Still not officially announced by anybody inside Microsoft, but quietly this morning the first preview of ASP.NET MVC 3 appeared on Microsoft Download. And it’s exactly what everyone was expecting after last month’s announcement of Scott Guthrie of Razor, the new view engine for ASP.NET MVC. What else does this new version bring to the table? First of all it takes a dependency on .NET4. It means that you cannot be able to use it unless you migrate you applications to the latest version o...

Razor View Syntax
Jul 1003There’s an old saying, “Good things come to those who wait.” I remember when I first joined the ASP.NET MVC project, I (and many customers) wanted to include a new streamlined custom view engine. Unfortunately at the time, it wasn’t in the card since we had higher priority features to implement. Well the time for a new view engine has finally come as announced by Scott Guthrie in this very detailed blog post. While I’m very excited about the new streamlined syntax, there’s a lot under the...
