JavaScript class browser: once again with jQuery

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 10:43 AM PDT

I've already posted twice about that little class browser application. The first iteration was mostly declarative and can be found here: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/09/14/building-a-class-browser-with-microsoft-ajax-4-0-preview-5.aspx The second one was entirely imperative and can be found here: http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/10/15/entirely-unobtrusive-and-imperative-templates-with-microsoft-ajax-4-preview-6.aspx This new version builds on top of the code for the imperative version and adds the jQuery dependency in an attempt to make the code leaner and simpler. I invite you to refer to the imperative code (included in the archive for this post ) and compare it with the jQuery version, which shows a couple of ways...(read more)

Converting a Web Site Project to a Web Application Project

Posted: 29 Oct 2009 04:49 PM PDT

Differences between Web Site Projects (WSP) and Web Application Projects (WAP) are highlighted in blogs such as this one . Based on that, if you feel a WAP would be better for your particular needs than a WSP, but have already created a WSP, you may be asking yourself, "Can I convert my WSP into a WAP, without starting from scratch?". This posting explains how to convert an existing Web Site Project to a Web Application Project in Visual Studio 2010. The most striking differences to a Web Site Project are that WAPs have a project file to include and exclude files, and compile to a single assembly. The guidelines below include several of the basic steps detailed in the Walkthrough: Converting a Web Site Project to a Web Application Project in...(read more)

Using C# Dynamic to simplify ADO.NET Data Access

Posted: 29 Oct 2009 04:05 PM PDT

Recently, I started playing around with C# dynamic, and blogged how it could be used to call static class members late bound .  Today, I was talking to Phil Haack , who I think had talked to ScottGu , and he mentioned that it would be cool to use dynamic to simplify data access when you work directly with SQL query.  So I thought I'd play around with that, and it didn't take much code to make it work nicely. So the scenario is that you're not using any fancy O/R mapper like LINQ to SQL or Entity Framework, but you're directly using ADO.NET to execute raw SQL commands.  It's not something that I would personally do, but there are a lot of folks who prefer this over the higher level data access layers. So let's look at an example...(read more)
