ASP.Net MVC

"ASP.NET MVC 3 introduced global filters, which allows you to add the AuthorizeAttribute filter to the global.asax file to protect every action method of every controller. (In MVC versions prior to MVC 3, it was difficult to enforce the AuthorizeAttribute attribute be applied to all methods except login/register. See my previous blog on security for details.) The code below shows how to add the AuthorizeAttribute filter globally."

"Let's face it - there are a lot of sites out there now running MVC3, probably mostly using the same patterns. This is a taster of some of the creative ways that this versatile platform is being used."

"One common problem with the naming convention and default routing mechanism in ASP.NET MVC is that we tend to group actions in a controller for sharing an URL space. This basically leads to complex controllers with a lot of unrelated methods that break the SOLID principles. Too many responsibilities in a simple class affects maintainability in the long run and causes secondary effects that complicates unit testing. For example, we usually end up with class constructors that receives too many dependencies as it is discussed here in SO."

MVC3 RadioButtonList Helper

"One thing that always annoys me when working on a web app is having to write those inevitable pages full of admin functions some of which are just a single button. When hacking up one such page I had a thought - a plug in library providing a command line for your web app might save me a lot of time. NetBash is what I came up with."

Great article about EF Code first. Looks very much like Active Record on Rails

Hi I was wondering what you think the advantage of EF is, when compared to NHibernate?

Is there a way you can rate these links. I.e. which were most helpful?

I'll delete the ones that sucked and also perhaps flag the useful ones with a Like click

That sounds like a good plan. Tnx. :)

"Two years ago I was very sceptical about automated UI testing. I had some painful experience with it because while writing the tests seemed relatively easy, maintaining them would become harder and harder over time to the point where it was impractical to maintain."

"One of the major constraints of web applications has always been connectivity. We imagined leveraging the browser to bring fully competent web applications to the desktop, but failed due to the lack of decent browser support. Although there were some caching techniques available before, they were never really designed with the intention of making web applications run completely offline, making them fragile and complex to set up. HTML5 tries to make up for this missing browser capability by introducing the offline application cache; a more reliable way to make web applications truly available even offline."

"The .NET CLR can give your web application a significant performance boost compared to other platforms such as PHP due to it's compiled nature. Not only does your .NET code perform better because it's more low-level, it also comes with good support for parallel programming. This guide will not explain the basics of a responsive and fast web application by talking about CSS minifying, sprites, content delivery networks, etc. Instead this guide will be an essential guide for making sure you don't miss any features that can enhance the performance of your ASP.NET MVC3 application.
