ScriptControl question

As of late I have gotten a chance to use the ASP.Net AJAX extenders and script controls, and so far am really liking how they work, though it would be nice if adding the .js was a little cleaner then manually adding them to the assembly wether in the AssemblyInfo.cs or the controls cs file.…

Lazy list

I have been following Rob Conery’s posts on the MVC Storefront, and trying the repository/pipes-filters for data access that he has been using. While trying out the implementation of a LazyList he was using, I had noticed that the example table was being joined onto the category table. At the time however, I really had…

Custom Rss Admin feeds

I fixed up the Rss Admin feeds so that modifying web.config (along with new handler classes) would not needed to add a new Admin Rss feed. Also added a simple form to allow administrators to created their own. It is a bit limited, but adding additional options should not be to hard. Though those will have…

Login via Usercontrol View + jQuery

Since administration was the next part I wanted to work on. I decided that for the moment I just want a little login for in the upper corner I decided to put the login screen view logic into a user control, and added the following user control named Login.ascx and placed it into the Shared…

.Net based SVN client library

As an exercise to figure out socket programming I have been messing around with creating an SVN client library to use with DevExamples.com, well actually a generic SC client library that would allow me to change what repository site I was working against, SVN just seemed like the simplest of them at the moment.

Got my nice Urls working

Its amazing how fast things can be done when not fighting bad assumptions. In this case it was that my admin URLs needed to use the nice descriptive URLs, instead of just /[Controller]/[Action]/[id] type routing. Once I realized I was making things overly complicated I, I ended up with a set of routing functions that…

Initial thoughts on Microsoft MVC

My first thought is, I really wish I could use this at work, but it is working nicely so far for my rewrite of my web site. Writing Classic ASP style again is taking a little getting used to again though, the visual preview from the designers made styling the page a lot nicer. The…

Generic begin/end Html tag extension method

After working on the login usercontrol, I decided that I wanted to add similar functionality to the navigation sections of the site for accounts/roles that didn’t get ads displayed. So I needed a standard way to put dynamic sections into a page. I liked the syntax used by the form HtmlHelper methods, so decided to…

Routing revisited

It turned out to be a lot easier to work around not being able to override the route parsing method then I had thought it would be last night. Though when they allow me to override that method I will be changing over. By setting up the following routes I was able to get almost…

A few simple MVC control suggestions

I finally got around to updating the website to the MVC preview 2, and ran into a couple of things. TagBuilder being internal. While the implementation of it CreateInputTag, CreateTag and CreateAttributeList. The removal of .ToAttributeList() was actually what made me go looking for this. The HtmlExtensionUtility extension methods would have been nice to have…
