A Little Holiday Love From The ASP.NET MVC Team A while ago ScottGu mentioned in his blog that we would try and have an ASP.NET MVC Release Candidate by the end of this year. My team worked very hard at it, but due to various unforeseeable circumstances, I’m afraid that’s not gonna happen. Heck, I couldn’t even get into the office yesterday because the massive dumping of snow. I hope to get in today a little later since I’m taking next week off to be with my family coming in from Alaska. But do not fret, we’ll have something early next year to release. In the meanwhile, we gave some rough bits to Scott Guthrie to play with and he did not disappoint yet again with a a great detailed post on some upcoming new features both in the runtime and in tooling. Often, it’s the little touches that get...(read more)

ASP.NET MVC Design Gallery and Upcoming View Improvements with the ASP.NET MVC Release Candidate Today we launched a new ASP.NET MVC Design Gallery on the www.asp.net site. The design gallery hosts free HTML design templates that you can download and easily use with your ASP.NET MVC applications. Included with each design template is a Site.master file, a CSS stylesheet, and optionally a set of images, partials, and helper methods that support them. The gallery allows you to preview each of the designs online, as well as download a .zip version of them that you can extract and integrate into your site. The gallery allows anyone to create and submit new designs under the creative commons license. Visitors to the gallery can vote to provide feedback on them (thumbs up/thumbs down). The most popular designs...(read more)

Time for a new useless blog subtitle For the longest time, I had set my blog subtitle to “Dynamic Data and other ASP.NET topics”, which some might argue would not have won any originality contests. On the bright side, it was a fine match for my equally original blog title: “David Ebbo's blog”. So I went on a quest for a new subtitle as part of my 2009 New Year resolutions (ok, it’s the only one so far). As for changing the Title itself, I’ll save that for New Year 2010. My first stop in this memorable journey resulted in the use of the extremely witty word ‘Ebblog’. While undeniably cool, I somehow decided to pass on it. The future will probably not tell whether it was a good move. Still looking to capitalize on my uniquely catchy last name, I came up...(read more)

ASP.NET MVC Design Gallery at www.ASP.net We just launched a new Design Gallery for ASP.NET MVC websites at: http://www.ASP.net/mvc/gallery You can vote on the designs that you like and that you don't like. You also can contribute new designs of your own. After you download a design from the gallery, you can use the design by following these steps: 1) Copy the files from DesignTemplateCS or DesignTemplateVB folder into your project (use DesignTemplateCS for C# projects and DesignTemplateVB for VB.NET projects) 2) Do a search and replace the string [YourProjectName]. Replace [YourProjectName] with the actual name of your project as displayed in the Solution Explorer window. This last step is necessary to get the namespaces right. Most of the templates use helper methods to render...()

ASP.NET MVC Samples, Oxite, and Community I am writing this sitting on a plane between Joburg and Cape Town, on the way to a User Group meeting to talk about ASP.NET MVC. As I said at the Joburg User Group meeting, ASP.NET MVC is young and we (that is, we the community, not just We, the Microsoft) are still learning about what a "pretty" or aesthetically pleasing MVC application looks like. We have some ASP.NET MVC OSS apps, some Monorail apps, some Rails apps to look to, some Django and Java apps, but we are still finding our way in our spin on this old pattern. There are still a number of ViewEngines that aren't the default WebFormsViewEngine that are growing in popularity. Folks are familiarizing themselves with the Repository Pattern and other patterns. Folks who had...()
