ASP.NET MVC is a wonderful thing. One of the many great features is the ability to customize all of the .NET framework's code by swapping out one implementation and using another. One such instance is creating a custom view engine, which you can do...
I've spent some time figuring out how to bridge the gap between web forms and ASP.NET MVC style of development. Just because the UI works differently, doesn't mean the actual framework works in a different way. If you use .NET 3.5 SP 1 for both...
This is a continuation of a blog series on creating services. You can find the previous articles here: Accessing Service Oriented API's using an IService interface So the ApplicationContext object uses a service loader as one way to load the IService...
My latest release at http://www.codeplex/nucleo also features a new Link control (in the Nucleo.Web.Controls namespace). This control tries to integrate two kinds of links; clickable links which fire an event, and redirection links that navigate to another...
If you've used MVC, you know the System.Web.Abstractions API offers you a lot of capabilities to make it easy to write unit tests in your MVC controllers. It's really easy to setup a Moq or TypeMock unit test to create a fake implementation of...
I've been working on a project available at for http://www.codeplex.com/nucleo . It's a project I've had in the works for a while, and it's finally coming to fruition. So I am starting to create blog posts explaining features about these...
Most people may not realize, but you can use Facebook Connect with your http://localhost server. This works great for ASP.NET and MVC (and other environments too, but I'm primarily a .NET guy so please pardon my favoritism). You setup the localhost...
If you haven't heard from my blog or Facebook WIKI's before, there are two ways to query data from Facebook, using the ApiClient object to query the data from the Facebook server, or by using FQL to query against their propietary database directly...
The Controller class maintains a reference to the HttpContext property, and object of HttpContextBase. HttpContextBase is a great class because now we have an abstract way to replace default logic if needed (but generally that wouldn't be recommended...
If you have used the Facebook FQL syntax to query the location column of a table, or have requested the location parameter from the friends_get or other API methods, what you need to know is location is a complex object consisting of the following properties...
Facebook supports a variant of SQL called FQL, or Facebook Query Language. If you know anything about Facebook's data storage center, Facebook has moved away from the traditional relational database and created their own custom application for storing...
I recently submitted a Facebook development article to ASP.NET Pro magazine. It was quite the challenge initially to get it started. But once I got going (I think I'll blog on this later), I was off and running but there aren't a lot of examples...
I recently have been thinking about tabular displays and how to make them better. For instance, suppose that your final output of an application looked like the following: <table id="tbl"> <thead> <tr> <th>One Header<...
