MVC
Thoughts on Messaging and MVC
When I start to learn a new style of programming I like to experiment by creating my own versions of things. This has lead to writing my own ORM framework and Mime parser just to name a few of my coding accomplishments for which I pride my self. Writing each was a valuable learning experience that allowed me a much better understanding of similar software systems. › Continue reading
Refactoring the ASP.NET MVC project template – Part 4
I wasn’t planning on continuing this series until I’d had a chance to play with the new RC1 release of the MVC framework, but Phil Haack has a post up that I’d like to touch on. To summarize with the latest release the MVC team has added a ContentPlaceHolder to the head section of the Site.Master file.

In this post I’ll be making use of the ASP.NET MVC Futures codebase which you can get here.
One of the complaints that is heard about MVC summed up by the following comment over at Los Techies “I’m not ready to start putting clunky C# code in my views, like asp.net MVC is using, feels like legacy asp all over again“. And yes many examples of this coding style exist including the LoginUserControl.ascx in the example MVC project.

When we left off last time we had cleaned up the Login action method. Now lets look at the Logout method:

I know this subject has been touched on before, but I can never find the links when I need them. So I decided I would write up my attempt at creating a better implementation of the MVC project template that ships with ASP.NET MVC Beta. I don’t claim any of these ideas were originally mine, if you know of a link to the original content please let me know and I’ll update this article. Now on with the show.
