ASP.NET MVC 1.0 has been released!
To keep up with a good tradition (see here and here), I have some great news on ASP.NET MVC: we are at version 1.0! This means production ready, supported, stable, …! Grab the download at Microsoft.com. I’m expecting an epic blog post by the Gu, but here’s some stuff you may want to have a look at: all my posts on ASP.NET MVC. Another thing you can do: order my book on ASP.NET MVC :-) We’ve released the print version yesterday, meaning you are now completely set to start developing with ASP.NET MVC. Edit: Looks like Simone was equally fast :-) And Kris. Edit: More from MIX: Silverlight 3 SDK Beta 1 is already up! http://tinyurl.com/crfogs

Creating an ASP.NET MVC application with Google Gears
Offline web applications… This term really sounds like 2 different things: offline, no network, and web application, online. Maarten, you speak in riddles man! Let me explain the term… You probably have been working with Gmail or Google Docs. One of the features with those web applications is that they provide an “offline mode”, which allows you to access your e-mail and documents locally, when an Internet connection is not available. When a connection is available, those items are synchronized between your PC and the application server. This offline functionality is built using JavaScript and a Google product called Google Gears. In this blog post, I will be building a simple notebook application using the ASP.NET MVC framework, and afterwards make it available to be used offline.

ASP.NET MVC XForms released on CodePlex
Just noticed there's a new project on CodePlex related to the ASP.NET MVC framework: MVC XForms. MVC XForms is a simple UI framework for ASP.NET MVC based on the W3C XForms specification. It provides a set of form controls that allow updating of complex model objects. Picked these project goals from Jon Curtis' blog: I haven't gone into any advanced scenario's, but have instead used a simple case to demonstrate some of the MVC XForms basics. First of all, I've created a Person class with an Id (int), Name (string) and BirthDate (DateTime). This class is used by a specific view in my application, of which the view markup looks like this:

OpenXML DII workshop Brussels - Quick summary
A few days ago, I wrote I was doing a presentation on the DII workshop in Brussels together with Julien Chable. Apart from heavy traffic from Antwerp to Brussels (80km, almost 3 hours... *sigh*), I think the DII workshop was quite succesful! Lots of news around OpenXML and Office, lots of interesting ideas from other community members. It was also great to meet some people who I've been mailing with for 2 years in person. Slides of the Redmond DII session can be found here.

Building an ASP.NET MVC sitemap provider with security trimming
Warning!A new version of the source code provided in this post is available here. Use this blog post as reference only. Yes, it has been a while since my last post. A nice vacation to Austria, some work to catch up, ... All excuses, I know, but I'll make it up to you with a huge blog post! If you have been using the ASP.NET MVC framework, you possibly have been searching for something like the classic ASP.NET sitemap. After you've played with it, you even found it useful! But not really flexible and easy to map to routes and controllers. Sounds familiar? Continue reading! Doesn't ring a bell? Well, continue reading, please! Feel free to download the sample code. UPDATE: A version for preview 5 can also be downloaded: MvcSitemapProvider.cs (19.46 kb)

Code based ASP.NET MVC GridView
Earlier this week a colleague of mine asked me if there was such thing as a DataGrid or GridView or something like that in the ASP.NET MVC framework. My first answer was: "Nope!". I advised him to look for a nice foreach implementation or using ExtJS, Dojo or similar. Which made me think... Why not create a simple GridView extension method which generates a nice looking, plain-HTML grid with all required features like paging, editing, deleting, alternating rows, ...?

ASP.NET MVC framework preview 3 released!
Don't know how I do it, but I think this blog post is yet again the first one out there mentioning a new release of the ASP.NET framework (preview 3) The official installation package can be downloaded from the Microsoft site. Source code is also available from CodePlex. Update instructions from preview 2 to preview 3 are contained in the download. If you created a project based on the "preview-preview" version, here's what you'll have to update:

ASP.NET MVC custom ActionResult (ImageResult)
The ASP.NET MVC framework introduces the concept of returning an ActionResult in Controllers since the "preview preview" release on CodePlex. The purpose of this concept is to return a generic ActionResult object for each Controller method, allowing different child classes returning different results. An example ActionResult (built-in) is the RenderViewResult. Whenever you want to render a view, you can simply return an object of this class which will render a specific view in its ExecuteResult method. Another example is the HttpRedirectResult which will output an HTTP header (Location: /SomethingElse.aspx).

New Team Foundation Server projects on CodePlex!
Busy times... Lots of work, some holidays here in Belgium, ... But there's always time to browse CodePlex! It is actually a good thing to do that from time to time. In the past few days, I spotted two great new projects on Team Foundation Server. Thumbs up for their authors! "Use this Visual Studio Add-In to leverage Team System and the Visual Studio code object model for in-IDE code review feedback, demonstration, and review replay. The inspiration for this project are the many code reviews we've experienced that have been generally underwhelming experiences and less than optimal outcomes. To make code review less painful, and to greatly assist in distributed environment code reviews this project will add Code Review squarely into the VS.Net Team System tools."
