I was bored…

In my previous post I presented an MVC Framework that uses the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) to allow for [...]

Building on my previous MEF + MVC example, I present a revised framework for building truly modular ASP.NET MVC websites through MEF.

I’ve recently been introduced to the Managed Extensibility Framework by a colleague at work, and have enjoyed picking it up so much it made me wonder how I could apply the simplicity of composition into my favourite web framework, ASP.NET MVC. There are a few obstacles to overcome initially, namely how instances are composed [...]

Often is the case when you’re creating an application (be it web or not) the need for caching can become a critical part of software design. You can be faced with a myriad of designs and mechanisms used to store objects, and the specifics of how each container works from one implementation to the [...]

.NET 4.0 introduces a new type, the Tuple. In mathematics, a tuple is an ordered set of elements, e.g. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) is a 5-tuple. In programming (i.e. type theory) a tuple has a fixed size and the underlying type of its components is explicit.
With this in mind, we can understand tuples [...]

I’m not overly keen on hard coding MVC routes in the application, so I’ve come up with a nice way of pulling the routes out of the application, and into a Sql Server table. All nicely wrapped up with Linq-to-Sql.
