Building a Northwind Single Page Application using ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta - Part 1

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 05:21 AM PST

Single Page Application Frameworks are gaining popularity in the ever evolving web community with lot of libraries such as JavaScriptMVC, Backbonejs and many other libraries. ASP.NET MVC 4 introduces experimental support for building single page application (SPA) through a template. Much of the plumbing work of wiring up the client side scripts, javascript modelviews and the controllers is automated, making it a quick start to develop SPAs relatively easier. Lets examine a scenario where we are building a Northwind Store using SPA. I installed the ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta for Visual Studio 2010 and the Northwind Sample Database for SQL Server Post that I did a "File – New Project – ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application" In MVC 3 we are used to see a screen...(read more)

DB Compare

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 12:08 AM PST

DB Compare is a simple utility that compares the schema (Tables, Views, and Stored Procedures) of two SQL Server databases.

I do all my development on my local SQL Server instance and when I deploy new versions of web sites or web services I often wonder if the schema has changed or if I have only changed the code.

The source code consists of a Visual Studio 2010 solution that contains two projects.

DataClassBuilder.Net.Dll - This is the main code generation engine of RAD Studio Code Generation Toolkit, located at http://radstudio.codeplex.com .

In my completely biased opinion RAD Studio is the best C# code generator / data tier creator / stored procedure generator for C# and other .Net developers.

In addition to the time savings that DB Compare saves me, I built this project to demonstrate RAD Studio Code Generation Toolkit. I think more developers would use it if they knew about it and how to use it property.

Hopefully this project will become popular and also increase the popularity of RAD Studio, as there is alot of very useful code in the program.

One last thing, if you do wish to work on the code, I have another project called Regionizer, which is a Visual Studio Package that docks in the toolbar where the Solution Explorer or Properties Window is located, and will format a C# document into regions for Private Variables, Methods, Constructors, Events and Properties.

About DB Compare:

DB Compare is a simple tool that compares two instances of SQL Server and compares the of the tables, views and stored procedures to make sure they are up to date.

To use the tool enter (or create) a connection string for the source database and target database and a Comparison Report is generated on screen that will report if the databases are equal or if they are not equal any differences are shown.

One ASP.NET - Making JSON Web APIs with ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta and ASP.NET Web API

Posted: 24 Feb 2012 04:07 PM PST

ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta came out last week. It's got lots of new features as well as some surprises that move us closer to the "One ASP.NET" idea. I talked about this a little in this week's MSDN Flash email newsletter (you can subscribe to MSDN Flash here ; it's reasonably high signal, low noise). Here's part of what I said : Don't think of ASP.NET as an island. It's a citizen of the larger community. More and more of ASP.NET is open source, and we push hard every day to stay open and be open. We want to make ASP.NET more pluggable, more open, more fun. We've got big things planned - some that will surprise you. I hope you'll join the conversation and the community. Here's some of the stuff that's...(read more)
