MvcSiteMapProvider 2.1.0 released!
The release for MvcSiteMapProvider 2.1.0 has just been posted on CodePlex. MvcSiteMapProvider is, as the name implies, an ASP.NET MVC SiteMapProvider implementation for the ASP.NET MVC framework. Targeted at ASP.NET MVC 2, it provides sitemap XML functionality and interoperability with the classic ASP.NET sitemap controls, like the SiteMapPath control for rendering breadcrumbs and the Menu control. Next to a brand new logo, the component has been patched up with several bugfixes, the visibility attribute is back (in a slightly cooler reincarnation) and a number of new extension points have been introduced. Let’s give you a quick overview…

ASP.NET MVC 3 and MEF sitting in a tree...
As I stated in a previous blog post: ASP.NET MVC 3 preview 1 has been released! I talked about some of the new features and promised to do a blog post in the dependency injection part. In this post, I'll show you how to use that together with MEF. Download my sample code: Mvc3WithMEF.zip (256.21 kb) First of all, there’s 4 new hooks for injecting dependencies:

ASP.NET MVC 3 preview 1 is out! Quick review...
I just noticed a very interesting download: ASP.NET MVC 3 preview 1. Yes, you are reading this correctly, the first bits for v3.0 are there! Let’s have a quick look around and see what’s new... ScottGu blogged about Razor before. ASP.NET MVC has always supported the concept of “view engines”, pluggable modules that allow you to have your views rendered by different engines like for example the WebForms engine, Spark, NHAML, … Razor is a new view engine, focused on less code clutter and shorter code-expressions for generating HTML dynamically. As an example, have a look at the following view: [code:c#] <ul> <% foreach (var c in Model.Customers) { %> <li><%:c.DisplayName%></li> <% } %> </ul> [/code] In Razor syntax, this becomes: [code:c#]

ASP.NET MVC - MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0 is out!
I’m very proud to announce the release of the ASP.NET MVC MvcSiteMapProvider 2.0! I’m also proud that the name of this product now exceeds the average length of Microsoft product names. In this blog post, I will give you a feel of what you can (and can not) do with this ASP.NET-specific SiteMapProvider. As a warning: if you’ve used version 1 of this library, you will notice that I have not thought of backwards compatibility. A lot of principles have also changed. For good reasons though: this release is a rewrite of the original version with improved features, extensibility and stability. The example code is all based on the excellent ASP.NET MVC Music Store sample application by Jon Galloway.

At RealDolmen, we had the luck of doing the first (known) project on Windows Azure in Belgium. Together with Microsoft, we had the opportunity to make the ChronoRace website robust enough to withstand large sports events like the 20km through Brussels.

Using Windows Azure Drive in PHP (or Ruby)
At the JumpIn Camp in Zürich this week, we are trying to get some of the more popular PHP applications running on Windows Azure. As you may know, Windows Azure has different storage options like blobs, tables, queues and drives. There’s the Windows Azure SDK for PHP for most of this, except for drives. Which is normal: drives are at the operating system level and have nothing to do with the REST calls that are used for the other storage types. By the way: I did a post on using Windows Azure Drive (or “XDrive”) a while ago if you want more info.

Introducing RealDolmenBlogs.com
Here’s something I would like to share with you. A few months ago, our company (RealDolmen) started a new website, RealDolmenBlogs.com. This site syndicates content from employee blogs, people with lots of experience in their range of topics. These guys have lots of knowledge to share, but sometimes their blog does not have a lot of attention from, well, you. Since we would really love to share employee knowledge, RealDolmenBlogs.com was born. The following topics are covered: Make sure to subscribe to the syndicated RSS feed and have quality content delivered to your RSS reader. Since I do not like to do blog posts on topic that do not have a technical touch, considered that the first few lines of text of this post are pure marketing in a sense, here’s the technical bit.

Sharpy - an ASP.NET MVC view engine based on Smarty
Are you also one of those ASP.NET MVC developers who prefer a different view engine than the default Webforms view engine available? You tried Spark, NHaml, …? If you are familiar with the PHP world as well, chances are you know Smarty, a great engine for creating views that can easily be read and understood by both developers and designers. And here’s the good news: Sharpy provides the same syntax for ASP.NET MVC! If you want more details on Sharpy, visit Jaco Pretorius’ blog: Here’s a simple example: [code:c#] {master file='~/Views/Shared/Master.sharpy' title='Hello World sample'} <h1>Blog entries</h1>
