The MVC platform – Forms extensions
Posted in ASP.NET, MVC
1 Comment »
In the lasts posts, we’ve started looking at some of the HtmlHelper extension methods that you can use to render controls on your forms (we’ve looked at several methods you can use to render HTML INPUT controls). Today we’re going to keep looking at the extenders, but we’ll concentrate on how to generate forms on […]

Yesterday I was watching the last “decent” concert from Nightwish (ok, I really should have said their last concert where Tarja was the main singer). There is a good chance that you don’t know Nightwish. So, a quick recap is in order. Nightwish is a Finnish band which combines strong vocals (especially when they had […]

In the last post we’ve seen a really simple example of how to use the existing HtmlHelper methods for building a simple form. We’ve also seen how to validate those results and how to pass them for further processing. to achieve that, we used all “low-level” methods provided by the framework (ie, we’ve resorted to […]

After the slight detour for introducing validation support, it’s time to go back to the helpers which you can use for generating HTML controls from your views. I think that the second post on the HtmlHelper class should have been more than enough for understanding how things work, so in this post I’ll just jump […]

Today we’re going to look at the validation support introduced by the framework. Do keep in mind that we’re not talking about using validators like the one you have in the ASP.NET web forms world. Nop! here validators are only responsible for showing an error message to the user. In practice, this means that you […]

Today we’re going to keep talking about the methods associated with the HtmlHelper classes. In this post, we’ll concentrate on the extension methods defined on the InputExtensions.cs file that allow us to introduce several textboxes on a page (ie, HTML Input elements if you really want to be picky). We’ll end up analyzing the three […]

After a long break, it’s time to go back to the MVC framework study. And today I’ll start from where I’ve stopped last time: the helpers. Today, I’m going to start talking about the HtmlHelper class which has lots of methods that you can use on your views for generating HTML. If you’ve downloaded the […]

The unthinkable happened: my wife’s laptop decided to retire itself ahead of time. So, I was left with the task of finding her a replace laptop for the cheapest price I could get. What happened? I’ve ended up buying a new laptop for me, which means that she is now a proud user of a […]

Comments Off on Book review: Practical .NET for the Financial Market
A few months ago I was interested in learning more about the financial market and I’ve found this book at Amazon. The reviewers gave it a really good score, so I bought the book. What a waste of money! For starters, I was expecting (at a minimum) .NET 2.0 code. Unfortunately, everything is written in […]

Is DDD for me?

Comments Off on Is DDD for me?
I think it’s really hard to present a definitive definition for Domain Driven Design. In my opinion, Domain Driven Design can be seen as a philosophy for developing applications based on specific domains and their logic where an ubiquitous language use is probably one of its most important features. If you’ve read Eric Evan’s book, […]

One of the open source projects I’ve been following in these last months is the S#arp project (pronounced Sharp Architecture) started and coordinated by Billy McCafferty. According to the homepage, this framework “is a solid architectural foundation for rapidly building maintainable web applications leveraging the ASP.NET MVC framework with NHibernate”. The framework adheres to the […]
