DataCache<T>: A simple (but effective) caching class

I have been using this code for a while now and thought I would post it out to the community as a simple C# DataCache class that can be re-used. This is only really applicable to non-web farm solutions as the data will be stored in process per IIS instance. If you want a distributed [...]

IIS7 + Azure Blob Storage Cache-Control

The quest for a perfect YSlow score is always on my mind (when I am coding that is) and I am happy to report that I am getting closer and closer to that elusive score of 100. Not that I am disappointed with what I am getting on the current project which has most pages [...]

EF Hierarchies with jQuery Templates

In one of my spontaneous tweets this weekend I was praising the combination of jQuery, jQuery Templates, WCF Data Services and EntityFramework. Not that unusual for me really as they are all technologies that I harp on about frequently This last week though I had the opportunity to utilize a part of jQuery Templates that [...]

iTunes Azure style

Ok that might be a slight exaggeration but with some additional work and a native application running on the client it could be pretty close. The scenario I will be discussing here is a web based application for purchasing music. I will leave the checkout process out of the discussion as that is not the [...]

Get your #Mix11 on and vote for BondiGeek

Mix11, are you pumped? It’s a new year and time for a new Mix and I am totally psyched about this years Mix conference. There is so much going on in the tech world (other than things beginning with an i) and what better venue to ‘get your geek on’ than Vegas and Mix 11. [...]

The time is now!

Working on a project this week I needed to pay close attention to the Timezone offset for data displayed in reports on a web application. Unfortunately the HttpBrowserCapabilities class in asp.net doesn’t offer us the Timezone or Timezone offset of the browser. If anyone knows where it might be hidden away I would love to [...]

QueryInterceptors are your friends

One of the features I love about WCF Data Services are QueryInterceptors. They make previously cumbersome(ish) tasks simple and remove the margin for error. If you are not familiar with a QueryInterceptor then in a nutshell they enable you to define a query that is applied each time a request is made for a defined [...]

WCF Data Services, OData & jQuery. If you are an asp.net developer you should be embracing these technologies…

and even if you are not an asp.net developer you should. I have talked a lot of late about WCF Data Services, OData and jQuery and with good reason. These technologies have caused a radical shift in how I develop for the web. So much so that the concept of traditional asp.net data binding is [...]

uploadify & IIS7+

File uploads and in particular multiple file uploads can be a right pain in the butt to implement. Come the reign of HTML5 (I give it till early 2011 until it really starts to take hold) I am led to believe that all our problems will be solved. Check out the details here at the [...]

fun (or not) with asp:Login

Gosh I have been busy of late, hardly any time to blog these days. However, Friday afternoon always seems to give me a little time to write and a week of work usually turns up something worth blogging about. This week (surprise, surprise) I will touch on some jQuery but the main focus is an [...]
