Binding to Dynamic Properties with ICustomTypeProvider (Silverlight 5 Beta) - Silverlight SDK - Alexandra Rusina

published 757 days, 22 hours, 53 minutes ago posted by

Nickolay 759 days, 27 minutes ago

Silverlight 5 Beta introduces a new ICustomTypeProvider interface that enables data binding to objects the structure of which cannot be known until runtime. This is a common problem when you work with data in any format from databases to metadata or XML files to JSON objects. New attributes or new columns can be added over time and prior to Silverlight 5 you needed to update and recompile your source code if you wanted to show this new data through data binding in a Silverlight application. With ICustom... (more)

Getting the MVC3 assemblies as part of your Windows Azure deployment - Shawn Cicoria

There have been several techniques that have been posted on getting the MVC3 reference assemblies deployed as part of your Windows Azure Solution. http://blog.smarx.com/posts/asp-net-mvc-in-windows-azure This is something I learned today is in Visual Studio 2010 SP1. If you open up the context menu for the project, you’ll see “Add Deployable Dependencies”. When you select the parts you need it adds the bindeployableAssemblies to the project and a copy.

Hosting The Same Windows Azure Web Project With Two Different Configurations - Peter Kellner

Nickolay 810 days, 7 hours, 27 minutes ago

In my scenario, I have the same web project that I want to host in two different Windows Azure Data Centers (BTW, Steve Marx let me know it’s “Windows Azure” and not “Azure” at MVP Summit so I’ll try and keep my terminology right as much as I can). Each Windows Azure Data Center has it’s own azure account (Azure Credential). It resolves to a different domain name and as part of that scenario, has different properties in the ServiceConfiguration.csfg file... (more)

Windows Phone 7 & “native” apps, the missing link! - Chris Walsh

Ok, take a deep breath, let it sink in, are you ready? What I discovered today was some FUNKY code that Samsung had created to set the Network properties of a Windows Phone 7 handset. Taking a peek under the skirt, I noticed something unreal. The application has unmanaged DLL’s inside the XAP file!!! Ok, you’re thinking, so what, this isn’t anything special. All they’ve done is add them manually into the project as a content build action. True, they have done that, but what’s next is even more UN... (more)

With site developers verifying that their sites run well in IE9 and taking advantage of the new HTML5 capabilities and better performance in IE9’s Standards mode, now is a good time to recap how to use Browser Mode and Document Mode to test sites for IE9 and previous IE versions. In summary, developers can use IE’s Developer Tool’s Browser Mode menu to test how their site will run in different versions of IE. The Document Mode menu is what developers use to determine the best rendering mode for their si... (more)

A quick look at what’s new in Orchard 0.8 - Bertrand Le Roy's blog

Nickolay 938 days, 17 hours, 51 minutes ago

We shipped Orchard 0.8 on Monday and it’s the last release we will make before 1.0, which is scheduled for January 2011. We think it’s a pretty nice release in that it wraps up the UI story for the platform.1. New theme engine with Razor and Clay ASP.NET MVC, on which Orchard is built, supports alternative view engines. Orchard does too, and 0.8 is the first release where the new Razor view engine is the default. All existing views in Orchard have been moved to... (more)

Windows Server AppFabric has finally brought a performant, fault-taulerant session provider to ASP.NET. Originally, this technology was part of the Velocity Project. Very cool stuff. There are lots of articles out there about how to configure this new service via web.config. Now, I love web.config as much as the next person, but it makes my deployment process painful. Sure there is the new web.config transformation process, but it requires the code to ... (more)

Getting rid of the magic strings in a WCF Data Service Client - Pablo M. Cibraro

Getting rid of the magic strings in a WCF Data Service Client One of the common problems that you might find when using the generated DataServiceContext for consuming an existing WCF data service is that you have magic strings everywhere for handling links (expanding, adding, deleting, etc). The problem with all those magic strings is that they make your code to compile correctly, but you might run into some error at runtime because you used a link that does not exist or it was just renamed.

Magic Page Names in ASP.NET WebPages - Matthew M. Osborn

One of the features in ASP.NET WebPages that is super powerful yet super simple is the “magic names” you can give to a page that make that page behave differently. Unfortunately the feature isn’t really called “magic names” (That would be way too cool!). Instead they are broken down into the two variations, Start pages and Init Pages. You may have seen these pages used before in other posts (I used one in my SimpleMembership post) or maybe even covered in one of the tutorials. I just figured that I would... (more)

Using Microsoft Solver Foundation with a WCF service application and .NET 3.5 - Microsoft Solver Foundation

When using the 3.5 version of .NET, a workaround is required to use a WCF service application with Solver Foundation. Without this workaround, the application may cause a configuration exception: "exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe". The workaround involves creating a web service to wrap the service application. NOTE: this workaround is not required for users of .NET 4.0. For example, consider... (more)
