Paging, sorting and filtering are common features in websites. Microsoft has written a tutorial how to implement these features in ASP.NET Core MVC with Entity Framework Core. The described solution works but I found it a bit too primitive. It triggered me to create a more powerful solution. Before you can start using my solution you should first read this tutorial, it explains how you can add Entity Framework Core to an ASP.NET Core MVC application.
Op dit moment ben ik als Silverlight ontwikkelaar op zoek naar een project. Bent u op zoek naar een ervaren silverlight specialist/architect neem dan contact met mij op. Zie ook mijn CV voor extra infromatie over mij.
Sorry Dutch only.
Vanwege mijn brede expertise en de aantrekkende markt krijg ik de laatste tijd veel leuke opdrachten in Nederland en België aangeboden waarop ik regelmatig nee op moet verkopen. Daarbij wordt mij meestal ook gevraagd of ik in mijn netwerk nog andere .NET freelancers ken. Daarom heb ik een netwerk opgezet zodat ik potentiële opdrachtgevers kan doorverwijzen naar een collega.
Via deze blog nodig ik .NET freelancers uit zich gratis en vrijblijvend bij mij aan te melden. Mijn netwerk is alleen voor Microsoft specialisten, hierbij gaat het dus om:
- Software Architecten
- Team en Projectleiders
- Coaches
- Trainers
- Ontwerpers
- Programmeurs (C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, SQL, XML)
- DBA’s
- Web-designers
- (unit)testers
Aanmelden kan heel eenvoudig via een e-mailtje naar dotnetwerk@reflectionit.nl.
I have just received mail from Pearson VUE informing me that have passed the Beta Exam 70-528 TS: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 - Web-Based Client Development (called 71-528 while it's in Beta). I also received a free Voucher for a next exam, thanks guys.
On Friday I will try the Beta Exam 70-551 UPGRADE: MCAD Skills to MCPD Web Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework. One week later I will try the Beta Exam70-552 UPGRADE: MCAD Skills to MCPD Windows Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework . Wish me luck.
I just saw the great Sparkle video on Channel9. On of the most funny part was the question 'What is an Architect?'. The anwer from John Gossman was 'It is a fancy title for a programmer' or in other words 'You are old'. I hope you enjoy the movie, I did. I can't wait to play with it.
For a long time I thought that I only had to set the Cursor.Current to a WaitCursor before a long running operation, the .NET runtime would reset it back to the Default cursor. Turns out that this is only true when the mouse is moved. Bummer.
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
The solution for this problem is very easy. I created a helper class called WaitCursor which set the Cursor.Current and restores it to the original value when it it disposed.
public
sealed
class WaitCursor : IDisposable {        
 private Cursor _prev;
 public WaitCursor(){
   _prev= Cursor.Current;
   Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
 }
 publicvoid Dispose(){
   Cursor.Current =_prev;
 }
}
I create the instance of the WairCursor class inside a using statement. This will automatically call the Dispose() method when it goes out of scope.
Microsoft has invented a new name Micro-ISV, which are software companies that are comprised of only one person. So, I'm a Micro-ISV. Planning to launch my product this year. I hope to succeed.
There is a difference in disposing Modal and Non-Modal forms. In a training I gave last week I noticed that even experienced developers didn't know that Modal Dialogs don't dispose automatically, Non-Modal do.
private
void
buttonShowNonModalForm
(
object
sender
, System.EventArgs e){
 new TestForm().Show();
}
privatevoidbuttonShowModalDialog(objectsender, System.EventArgs e){
 new Form2().ShowDialog();
}
The solution to this problem is very simple by creating the Form instance within a using block. This will dispose the Form when it is closed.
private
void
buttonShowModalDialog
(
object
sender
, System.EventArgs e){
 using(TestForm f =new TestForm()){
   f.ShowDialog();
 }
}
An alternative solution uses a try/finnaly. Personally I prefer the previous, it is easier to read and write.
look.
