Drag-and-drop sorting for our ASP.NET MVC list editor (in one line of

blog.codeville.net — So you can use ASP.NET MVC’s model binding conventions to implement a list editor where the user can dynamically add and remove items. Great! But how can you let the user control the order of the items?

Paging Helpers in Unifico, Filtered and Sorted Paging

charlesrcook.com — Unifico has a few paging helpers to make service methods easily paged from a client. Essentially the framework makes consuming a page request object as simple as calling .ToList() on an IQueryable source. The object, the PageRequest, has two collections, Filters and Sorts with several constructors to make instantiation easy. The collections are rather straight forward, providing filtering and sorting ability on a paging source. The uniqueness comes from the ability to request multiple filters and sorts together, along with a paging request. This request is then execute on the IQueryable source, so if DLINQ is used, results in exactly two database hits. A COUNT statement is executed to find out how many pages there are, and a single select statement providing the paged results. This is all done without exposing LINQ or IQueryable to the service's client. read more...

submitted by adminjew 10 days, 8 hours ago

The quoted sections are Luke's, and my own responses are shown underneath them. This is a different style from my usual posts, because this is a conversation, which was transcriptted and only slighted edited.
