Building an HTML5 App with ASP.NET

Posted: 11 Jan 2011 09:35 AM PST

I'm teaching several JavaScript and ASP.NET workshops over the next couple of months (thanks everyone!) and I thought it would be useful for my students to have a really easy to use JavaScript reference. I wanted a simple interactive JavaScript reference and I could not find one so I decided to put together one of my own. I decided to use the latest features of JavaScript, HTML5 and jQuery such as local storage, offline manifests, and jQuery templates. What could be more appropriate than building a JavaScript Reference with JavaScript? You can try out the application by visiting: http://Superexpert.com/JavaScriptReference Because the app takes advantage of several advanced features of HTML5, it won't work with Internet Explorer 6 (but really...(read more)

Orchard shapeshifting

Posted: 10 Jan 2011 05:30 PM PST

I've shown in a previous post how to make it easier to change the layout template for specific contents or areas. But what if you want to change another shape template for specific pages, for example the main Content shape on the home page? Here's how. When we changed the layout, we had the problem that layout is created very early, so early that in fact it can't know what content is going to be rendered. For that reason, we had to rely on a filter and on the routing information to determine what layout template alternates to add. This time around, we are dealing with a content shape, a shape that is directly related to a content item. That makes things a little easier as we have access to a lot more information. What I'm going...(read more)

Grouping Routes Part 2

Posted: 09 Jan 2011 03:43 PM PST

In part 1 of this series , we looked at the scenario for grouping routes and how we can implement matching incoming requests with a grouped set of routes. In this blog post, I'll flesh out the implementation of URL Generation. Url Generation Implementation URL generation for a group route is tricky, especially when using named routes because the individual routes that make up the group aren't in the main route collection. As I noted before, the only route that's actually added to the route table is the GroupRoute . Thus if you supply a route name for one of the child routes (such as "r1") during URL generation, you'll get a null URL. Interestingly enough, in this case, if you don't use named routes when using URL generation, everything works...(read more)

Razor Syntax Quick Reference

Posted: 06 Jan 2011 11:13 PM PST

I gave a presentation to another team at Microsoft yesterday on ASP.NET MVC and the Razor view engine and someone asked if there was a reference for the Razor syntax. It turns out, there is a pretty good guide about Razor available, but it's focused on covering the basics of web programming using Razor and inline pages and not just the Razor syntax. So I thought it might be handy to write up a a really concise quick reference about the Razor syntax. Syntax/Sample Razor Web Forms Equivalent (or remarks) Code Block @{ int x = 123; string y = "because." ; } <% int x = 123; string y = "because." ; %> Expression (Html Encoded) < span > @ model.Message </ span > < span > <% : model.Message %> <...(read more)

Integrating ASP.NET MVC 3 into existing upgraded ASP.NET 4 Web Forms applications

Posted: 06 Jan 2011 12:19 AM PST

I got an interesting question recently from a gentleman who has an existing ASP.NET WebForms 2.0 application that works just fine. He's upgraded it to ASP.NET 4 and it still works great, but now he wants to add some ASP.NET MVC pages to it. He doesn't want to rewrite the application. A few years ago I did a post on "Hybrid" ASP.NET applications . The goal was to reinforce the point that you can have ASP.NET applications that are both WebForms and MVC (as well as WCF and ASMX Web Services and on and on.) While the File|New Project dialog gives you a choice between This and That, in fact it's all ASP.NET underneath. You are welcome to mix and match "cafeteria style" and create apps in any combination you'd like...(read more)
