Grouping Controllers with ASP.NET MVC

Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:01:02 GMT

question that often comes up is how do you group controllers when building a large application with ASP.NET MVC. Often, the question is phrased as whether or not ASP.NET MVC supports "Areas", a feature of Monorail. According to the Monorail documentation, MonoRail supports the concept of areas, which are logical groups of controllers. All controllers belong to an area. The default area is an empty (unnamed) one

Creating a generic Linq to SQL ModelBinder for the ASP.NET MVC framewo

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 18:00:47 GMT

How about this action method, using a Person class which is a Linq to SQL entity type. It accepts a Person object as a parameter. The Person class is a Linq to SQL entity type. It's cleaner not to use the Linq to SQL data context here! Using the ASP.NET MVC ModelBinder infrastructure, I am actually able to bind action method parameters to real objects, based on simple query string parameters like, in this case, id. A custom ModelBinder maps this string id to a real Person instance from my Linq to SQL DataContext. Let me show you how I've created this ModelBinder.

ASP.NET MVC: Simplified Localization via ViewEngines

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:01:17 GMT

Thanks to Brad, he identified a few areas that made things MUCH simpler from my prior implementation. Notably, while you still have your ViewEngine specify "here's your view's path" there's no longer a need for having a new helper, derived classes, etc. This implementation goes back to the simplified HtmlHelper extension in which you can use in any ViewEngine regardless. It also allows you to "replace" the implementation by just changing the namespace, just as you can do with Html and Ajax.

ASP.Net MVC Extension method to create a Security Aware Html.ActionLin

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 06:25:06 GMT

The following is my attempt at creating an "security aware" action link that detects if a user is authorized to click (invoke) the action. The point is to show, hide or disable a link based on the Authorize attribute of the controller.

CarTrackr - Sample ASP.NET MVC application

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 21:32:39 GMT

Some people may have already noticed the link in my VISUG session blog post, but for those who didn't... I've released my sample application CarTrackr on CodePlex. CarTrackr is a sample application for the ASP.NET MVC framework using the repository pattern and dependency injection using the Unity application block. It was written for various demos in presentations done by Maarten Balliauw.

ASP.NET MVC - View Model Inheritance

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:01:23 GMT

If you are new to MVC web development it can initially be tricky to figure out how to handle UI features that will be used by multiple views. In WebForms you would simply create a control that encapsulated this element's look and function. In order to handle the common view elements I organized the hard typed view models into an inheritance hierarchy.

Update to JSON Service Provider using ASP.NET MVC Beta and Templating

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:33:11 GMT

Recently Microsoft has updated the ASP.NET MVC to Beta status, and along with that came code changes. One of the code changes to the IModelBinder and how it interacts with the Parameter bindings broke what I wrote on the last post (utilizing ASP.NET MVC as a JSON Service Provider, and coding the entire web site on the client side). Upon loading the Beta bits, I realized my AJAX Parameter function was infinite looping. The reason is that the Model Binder defaults to trying to bind Complex Types in the Action Parameter to the form values being passed back, however, since I am not doing a form postback, it could not bind that to the complex type, and could not run the ActionExecuting on the AjaxParameterAttribute I had set. Here is the changes along with testing Dates and the Microsoft Client Side Ajax Templating Engine.

Mocking ASP.NET MVC HtmlHelper using Moq

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:26:19 GMT

HtmlHelper is used quite frequently in ASP.MVC. It has a number of dependencies, so testing the numerous extension methods on it (both default, and added) can make for some ugly code. This simple code sample shows how to mock out the dependencies (ViewContext for one) using Moq.

ASP.NET MVC Beta released - Coolness

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 00:35:54 GMT

ASP.NET MVC is now officially in Beta. Go get it! ScottGu has all the juicy details in his usually Epic style. In a nutshell, this is called Beta (and not Preview 1138) because the quality and the amount of testing gone into it was higher than the Previews and source drops you may have gotten off of CodePlex. It's API surface is pretty stable now.

Introduction to ASP.NET MVC for VISUG - Presentation materials

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:08:04 GMT

Yesterday evening, I did a presentation on the ASP.NET MVC framework for VISUG (Visual Studio User Group Belgium). I really hope everyone got a good feel on what the ASP.NET MVC framework is all about and what it takes to build an ASP.NET MVC application. Thank you Pieter Gheysens for inviting me for this talk! And thank you audience for being interested for over an hour and a half! A recorded version of this presentation will be available later, for the moment you'll have to do with the presentation materials. The download contains the slides, the Hello World application and the testing demo. The CarTrackr application can be found on CodePlex.

Scott Hanselman: ASP.NET MVC and the new IIS7 Rewrite Module

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:32:12 GMT

"Last year I noticed that there were 11 ways to get to my blog. Literally 11 different URLs and it wasn't helping me my ranking in the search engines. I wrote about this in detail and how I used ISAPI_Rewrite to fix it up. Fast forward to this year and the IIS7 team has been taking advantage of IIS7's modular design to release a bunch of new modules out-of-band."
