React & Web Development

In this blog entry, I discuss two areas in which you need to exercise extra caution when building a Single Page App. I discuss how Single Page Apps are extra vulnerable to both Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks.

In my previous article, "Getting Started with MongoDB," I provided a brief overview about some of the most important things to consider when making the move from relational databases to the NoSQL world of MongoDB. I provided a sample conversion of a relational database schema to a document-oriented schema, suitable for MongoDB. In this second article in the three-part series, I develop an application that uses a C# driver to interact with a MongoDB database.

In this post, we’re going to explore building a generic RESTful api on top of a database with custom CRUD and query conventions, using the LLBLGen ORM and code generator, a ServiceStack service layer, and ServiceStack Razor html entity browser layer. This API and html entity browser can be generated on top of any database that LLBLGen supports (see here for supported database drivers).

There are several common pitfalls with the way that normal JavaScript code is included on a page. First of all, if one file is dependent on another file to load, for example since backbone.js requiresunderscore.js they have to be included in order.

Recently Microsoft added some new features in its ASP.NET Web Application Framework. SignalR is one of the prominent feature to build real time application e.g. social application, multiuser games, news weather etc. In real time applications server pushes the content to connected clients instantly it become available. It provides a simple ASP.NET API for creating server-to-client remote procedure calls (RPC) that calls JavaScript functions in client browsers from server-side .NET code. 

In this article, we will see how to use Asynchronous Programming using Async and Await in ASP.NET 4.5 web forms. For demonstration purposes, we will create three different WCF Services which will fetch the Customers data, Total No. of orders and the Total Products respectively. Then we will use these services in our ASP.NET web site synchronously as well as asynchronously. We will calculate the time taken by an ASP.NET web site to call these services and find out the differences between these calls.

 I wanted to illustrate the steps in getting your MVC 4 application wired up with multi-step registration process with SMS code verification leveraging Twilio. We will start from my last blog post with Seed Users and Roles with MVC 4, SimpleMembershipProvider, SimpleRoleProvider, EntityFramework 5 CodeFirst, and Custom User Properties.

ASP.NET Web Tools 2012.2  is an ASP.NET release with features including entire ASP.NET family (Web Forms, MVC, Web API). This release also includes new

The ASP.NET MVC 4 Internet template adds some new, very useful features which are built on top of SimpleMembership. These changes add some great features, like a much simpler and extensible membership API and support for OAuth. However, the new account management features require SimpleMembership and won't work against existing ASP.NET Membership Providers. I'll start with a summary of top things you need to know, then dig into a lot more detail.

Summary:

• SimpleMembership has been designed as a replacement for the previous ASP.NET Role and Membership provider system
• SimpleMembership solves common problems developers ran into with the Membership provider system and was designed for modern user / membership / storage needs
• SimpleMembership integrates with the previous membership system, but you can't use a MembershipProvider with SimpleMembership
• The new ASP.NET MVC 4 Internet application template AccountController requires SimpleMembership and is not compatible with previous MembershipProviders
• You can continue to use existing ASP.NET Role and Membership providers in ASP.NET 4.5 and ASP.NET MVC 4 - just not with the ASP.NET MVC 4 AccountController
• The existing ASP.NET Role and Membership provider system remains supported, as it is part of the ASP.NET core
• ASP.NET 4.5 Web Forms does not use SimpleMembership; it implements OAuth on top of ASP.NET Membership
• The ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool (WSAT) is not compatible with SimpleMembership

 OData is a protocol that works over HTTP (the same protocol on which the entire Internet, as we know it, works) and uses pre-established data exchange formats like ATOM (or JSON) to expose data in the Server.

Images are really important for us at Tech.Pro. When writing tutorials, it is important for you to quickly be able to insert images into your document, resize them, etc. Often times, you may want to allow users to upload an image, and then generate several different sizes of that image for the user. This is often needed for thumbnails and such. This is common practice and is seen on other blogging platforms such as wordpress.

In this tutorial we will go through a process of building a sample shopping cart with real time capabilities. On top of that, we'll also throw in a real time admin order overview.

The technologies used will include:

Obviously, if you work with MS technologies, you probably are also using SQL Server or SQL Express, and the SimpleMembershipProvider is all you really need. But doing MVC on top of other databases is also very common practice. The out-of-the-box SimpleMembershipProvider leverages Entity Framework as it’s data access strategy. Built-in as well, are lots of custom SQL commands that are built for SQL Server. It is therefore not compatible at this time with other database and persistence providers. But, luckily, the ASP.NET team has provided a way to enhance this new membership provider by extending 2 abstract classes: WebMatrix.WebData.ExtendedMembershipProvider, and the standardSystem.Web.Security.RoleProvider which was moved to the System.Web.ApplicationServices.dll assembly.

Depuis ASP.Net MVC 4, pour augmenter les performances de son application, il est possible de mettre facilement en place du bundling et de la minification. Qu’est-ce que ces termes signifient ?

I've been Googling over the weekend and so far didn't find any articles out there on how integrate EF5 CodeFirst nicely with SimpleMembership and at the same time, seeding some of your users, roles...

This is a momentous event. John Papa has been working for months on a video course that covers building a JavaScript Application from end-to-end with today’s JS technologies. And he just published it.
