When we talk about UI Architecture, a common theme of Model-View-Something continues to come up. The question is, however, what is the something? Am I working with Model-View-Controller? Model-View-Presenter? Something else? The purpose of this blog is to explore the difference between MVC / MVP to give you an understanding of what they mean to accomplish, what are the differences and what situations best cater to each. Does it really matter? Does the difference really matter between MVC / MVP? Well, ......
When testing in ASP.NET MVC3, one of the common elements you might want to test is authorization. Although the framework does most of the heavy lifting for ASP.NET Membership and authorization it is still worthwhile to be able to write a test to show that the proper Authorization tag is in place. You might think that it’s as easy as calling the method on the controller with a proper context, but that’s not the case. When you call the methods directly on the controller the authorizations are skipped. ......
A month or so ago I was working on a feature for a project that required a level of anonymity on the Sharepoint site in order to function. At the same time I was also working on another feature that required access to the Sharepoint search.asmx web service. I found out, the hard way, that the Sharepoint Web Services do not operate in an expected way while the IIS site is under anonymous access. Even though these web services expect requests with certain permissions (in theory) they never attempt ......

So, this post is probably more for my personal benefit than for anyone who may read, but I'm just going to highlight the good or bad of 2008 for my personal life and then visit my hopes for 2009. This year really marked the beginning of my involvement in the .NET community. I consider myself somewhere around a junior level developer, and by giving back to a community that has given so much to me, I know I have grown and learned more than had I just waited for knowledge to come to me. I got involved ......
Sadly, our web server here at work is still running ASP.NET 1.1. Sigh. This hasn't been a problem for me, but this latest project requires a lot of work that we've done in newer versions. Also, I'm growing soft and using the improvements often. As a result, here's a list of improvements I really miss now that I'm having to work in 1.1 again: Code Snippets. I was working on a class to decrypt our query strings, and all of a sudden my snippets are completely missing! Not really, they just didn't exist ......
I was recently following along in a quick tutorial in Microsoft ASP.NET Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Version 2003 Step By Step by G. Andrew Duthie, when low and behold I came across a fundamental tutorial about ASP.NET authentication that just didn't work. The culprit? authorization forms credentials has a default of SHA1, not Clear that the book assumed. I checked through the MSDN entries to make sure this still applied in 3.5, even though the book was written for ASP.NET 1.1 (which ......

If you follow the GWB blogs, chances are you’ll get tired of hearing this. However, the ASP.NET MVC Beta has been released, and I think a good amount of people are very excited for its release. I remember our BRDNUG meeting on the ASP.NET MVC, and how it was hard to tell anyone what would work for which preview version because of the vast differences and changes that occurred between the early previews and the later previews. Now that we have a beta, we should see a lot more stable MVC. From the ......
In this brief series I’m going to go over creating your own custom code snippets for use in Visual Studio 2005 or later. We’ll be using the XML Schema from Visual Studio 2005, but I assure you it works for both. This series will contain three parts: The “Hard” Way The “Easy” Way Practical Example of an XML Snippet The reason we’re going to call this version the “Hard” way is because there are snippet generator apps available, including one made by the teams themselves. So before we begin, I’d like ......

I’ll be honest that this did happen to me, and thankfully the MSDN straightened me out. For those of us who normally program for winforms, sometimes the switch to an ASP.NET project can prove to be a whole new world. For instance, I was working on a straightforward single page in ASP.NET 1.1 so that members of the same project could gather some information easily. The form itself had one field, and I wanted to ensure that the field was a number only. I added a RegularExpressionValidator and pointed ......

I’ve just set up WLW at work to take advantage of blogging in a very nice interface and to make the best use of the new WTFNext. I do apologize to those of you who are getting this content and being generally disappointed by the lack of context, but I’m getting myself familiar with GWB and how I can make the most of it. The hope with this post is that I’ll get my tag cloud started, just by incorporating Technorati tags at the bottom. From what I understand thanks to JJulian, the tag cloud should ......
As a student of the University of Phoenix, I have made it a point to mention Dreamspark to every class I attend. Microsoft really does love the community, and is around to help those who use its products for development, or just for leisure as well. There are user groups all over the world that a dev can keep in touch with the latest Microsoft technologies. If you don't like attending groups in this world, there's even groups for virtual worlds. As continued proof of how much they do care about keeping ......
