In continuing the series on the Nucleo MVP framework, we’re going to look at how easy it may be to use AJAX.  Like the web services proxy generation to the server-side web server, the Nucleo MVP currently supports limited AJAX proxy support (with more support to come).  Using the Nucleo.Web.MVP framework, the project and the […]

I’ve been using the MVP pattern for a new project and have developed an open-source framework (available here).  I’m not an MVP expert, but I’ve learned a lot about the pattern and UI patterns at a whole.  One important idea about the pattern that I’ve learned is to ensure that the layers are properly separated.

I’m continuing the series of blog posts on my Nucleo control suite available at http://www.codeplex.com/nucleo.  This post is on the way that tags can be rendered.  ASP.NET MVC has a TagBuilder class for creating a class to generate markup and render that markup to the brower.  If you have used any of the HTML extensions […]
