Johan Danforth's BlogYet another blog by yet another .NET coder...IronRuby with ASP.NET MVC- July 21, 2008 Now that ASP.NET MVC preview 4 is out, Phil Haack did as promised and made available a working prototype of IronRuby + ASP.NET MVC integration. He wrote: Now that Preview 4 is out, I revisited the prototype and got it working again. I use the term working loosely here. Yeah, it works, but it is really rough around the edges. To be able to use Ruby with ASP.NET MVC there has to be some c gluebridge code, especially in global.asax, which loads the routing tables (via extensions) and points.http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/07/21/ironruby-with-asp-net-mvc.aspx IronRuby Getting Started Links- July 15, 2008 Justin Etheredge wrote a detailed step-by-step blog post about how to download, build and get IronRuby up and running which is really good. There is also the new wiki on the official IronRuby web site (www.ironruby.com) which covers the same topic and also has a few code samples that might get you going a few steps further - look at the FAQ pages.http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/07/15/ironruby-getting-started-links.aspx Fetching User Details from OpenId via Attribute Exchange- July 11, 2008 Rob Conery did another excellent episode of his MVC Storefront series the other day where he ripped out his user membership code and replaced it with OpenId. Implementing the whole OpenId protocol yourself isn't necessary as there are some great libraries for you out there which makes it really, really simple to use and integrate with both WebFoms and A SP.NET MVC. Rob uses the DotNetOpenId library to authenticate the user but didn't show how to fetch user details like the user full name. ...http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/07/11/fetching-user-details-from-openid-via-... ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem with Anonymous Types- July 3, 2008 I thought this blog post by Matt Valerio was good, and it gave me a few ideas to use in a current test project. He wrote a helper method to be able to use anonymous types when calling a delegate or lambda in the ThreadPool: public delegate void WaitCallback<T>(T state); public static class ThreadPoolHelper public static bool QueueUserWorkItem<T>(T state, WaitCallback<T> callback) return ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(s => callback((T)s), state); And.http://weblogs.asp.net/jdanforth/archive/2008/07/03/threadpool-queueuserworkitem-with-anon... |
