Building a Self Updating Site Using NuGet
Jan 1116For those of you who enjoy learning about a technology via screencast, I’ve recorded a video to accompany and complement this blog post. The screencast shows you what this package does, and the blog post covers more of the implementation details. A key feature of any package manager is the ability to let you know when there’s an update available for a package and let you easily install that update. For example, when we deployed the release candidate for NuGet, the Visual Studio Extension M...

ASP User Notification Update
Dec 1009I received some great feedback and in response, I have posted this update. First, the code is now on Git: git://github.com/johnvpetersen/ASP-.NET-User-Notifications.git. Second, I removed the backing variables for the properties. Some old habits die hard! With auto properties, there is no need for backing variables anymore. Third, I added the ability in the web page to specify the css file. The following video demonstrates the different effects we can achieve dynamically: Notification Exam...

An easy approach to adding user notifications to ASP web applications
Dec 1007We all have to do it inform the user of some status such as whether their edit saved properly and/or if a form submission was successful. The work here is based on something I picked up on the this blog: http://blog.idleworx.com/2010/11/friendly-css-error-messages-for-java.html. I changed things slightly to take advantage of the .NET environment. Have you ever wanted user notifications that faded out over a certain time interval? Perhaps you want the user to be able to click a message to m...

The Weekly Source Code 57 -Controlling an Eagletron TrackerPod with C# 4, ASP.NET MVC and jQuery
Nov 1022I have a 42 HDTV in Seattle that's hooked up all the time as an Embodied Social Proxy. It's a portal between the Microsoft Redmond campus and my house here in Oregon. I've blogged about Embodied Social Proxies before as well as shot video of one for Channel 9. It's called the HanselCart around work, although recently it's stopped being a cart and now it's a whole office that folks in Building 42 can drop by and see me, er, the Virtual Me. One of the things that hasn't been 100% smooth is t...

Nov 1009This morning the ASP.NET team shipped the ASP.NET MVC 3 RC (release candidate). You can download it here. ASP.NET MVC 3 is a pretty sweet release, and adds a ton of new functionality and refinements. It is also backwards compatible with ASP.NET MVC V1 and V2 – which makes it easy to upgrade existing apps (read the release notes for the exact steps to do so). You can learn more about some of the great capabilities in ASP.NET MVC 3 from previous blog posts I’ve done about it: Introducing Ra...

BDD web application testing using easyB and Sahi
Nov 1008I already talked about the way we are testing our web application at Jobping in the following posts “ASP.NET MVC 2, MSpec and Watin ” and ”Automated functional tests using Watin and MSpec”. The other day I landed on the DZone page “Automated Browser Testing: What's in Your Toolkit?” In the list of around 10 tools I knew some of them but there were 3 I didn’t knew. So I decided to go on and read about those 3. In this list there were Sahi which got me with those three sentences: Powerful R...

Hand picked sessions from PDC2010
Oct 1029If you are not living under a rock, probably you know that yesterday (October 28th) the PDC2010 started. This year’s format is quite different from the other years’ one: just 2 days, hosted inside Microsoft Campus, all sessions (not just the keynotes) available live and some sessions have been pre-recorded to give more content than it could fit into just 2 days. And they developed a great website so that people could watch the whole conference from home (of course, they wouldn’t get the WP7 ph...
