If like me you use the online help, then you”ve surely noticed several changes in these last months (ex.: friendly urls with support for namespaces, classes, properties, methods, etc). I”ve just seen in Craig”s blog that now you can ask for a “low-bandwith page”. Ok, you”ll only believe it after seeing, so you should try […]

Comments Off on The C# compiler is really smart, but…
I’m still not understanding why it won’t give me a warning when I create an internal class with a public method. Here’s an example: class MyInternalClass{ public void Test(){} //no compiler warning } Ok, at the end of the day, Test is really an “internal” method since the acessibility of a member can never […]

In the previous posts, we’ve explored the internals of the routing assembly. If you’ve downloaded the ASP.NET MVC preview 3 from codeplex, then you’ll find an interesting sample on how to reuse the routing assembly with a ASP.NET web forms app. If you’ve read the previous posts on the series, then you should know that […]

Today we’re going to discuss url partitioning. What’s url partioning? Well, I’m sure that you agree with me when I say that one of the greatest things about the routing assembly is that we can define parameters (or placeholders) on routes? Here’s an example that will surelly refresh your memory: http://yoursite/{anything} In the previous example, […]

Today we’re going to talk about one of the most important components of the System.Web.Routing assembly: the UrlRouting module. If you want to use the routing framework in your web applications, then you need to register this module on your web.config file (of course, after adding a reference to the routing assembly in your web […]

In my last post on this series, we”ve seen how we can use the RouteTable class to register all the routes available on a web application. I”d just like to add one more thing on the locking topic. As you might recall, we”ve seen that internally the RouteCollection uses locks to guarantee that everything works […]

Comments Off on Book review: ADO.NET 3.5 Cookbook
[Disclaimer: I’ve received a free copy of this book for review] After several days, I’ve finally finished reading this book. This is really a very complete book wit lots and lots (and lots!) of examples. It’s fair to say that it covers most (if not all) ADO.NET related scenarios (I’m an SQL Server user but […]

In the previous posts, we’ve talked about Routes. Today, we’re see how we can register the routes on a ASP.NET web application. Currently, a colecction of routes is represented through an element of type RouteCollection. If you fire up Reflector and start looking at this class, you’ll see that a RouteCollection is just a specialized […]

In the last post, we’ve talked about several of the properties exposed by the Route class. Unfortunately, the post grew beyond my initial expectations, which meant that the writing time was exceeded before completing the analysis of this class. Today we’ll cover its last important feature: constraints. When a route is associated with a pattern […]

In my previous post, we’ve seen that all routes must implement the contract defined by the RouteBase class. As you might expect, the framework defines one implementation of that contract through the Route class. Currently, the Route class exposes the following properties: public class Route : RouteBase{ public RouteValueDictionary Constraints { get; set; } public […]

Yesterday I’ve started looking at the new MVC platform. After looking at the MVC project, I’ve decided to take a look at the System.Web.Abstractions. In this dll you’ll find several wrappers of the objects you normally use on a Web Forms ASP.NET application. The next figure shows some of them: If you end up using […]

The Parallel Extensions CTP is out. It seems like now the PLINQ does no longer depends on the Thread pool. Instead of doing that, PLINQ now relies on the Task Parallel Library. Interesting…it”s time to run some more tests…
