In a previous post I showed how to unit test an ASP.NET WebAPI Controller. But with a REST service there is both a client and a service component. Assuming for a moment the client part is also written in C# we should test that as well. In this case the client application contains the following class...

In a previous blog post I mentioned how exited I was about WebSockets and the future with real time duplex communication over the Internet.

Having the ASP.NET Web API as a REST service returning data is kind of nice but to be efficient on the wire we don’t want to return more data that required only to discard it in the client.   As we have seen in a previous post just returning a collection data was real easy.   As it turns out...

We where just bitten by this one and the problem was not immediately obvious. You will see some error like The name 'model' does not exist in the current context or 'System.Web.WebPages.Html.HtmlHelper' does not contain a definition for 'ActionLink' and no extension method 'ActionLink'...

  In the previous blog post I demonstrated how to get started with the ASP.NET Web API and retrieve some products data from the Northwind database. Something that was really easy to do But quite often we want to update data just as much as we want to retrieve it.   A quick recap of REST and...

Some time ago I did a number of blog posts about the beta versions of the WCF Web API . As it turns out the WCF Web API team has moved into the ASP.NET team, a good thing as far as I am concerned, and as a result it is now called ASP.NET Web API . Now this is much more that just a name change. For starters...

People have been wondering for a while what the future of WF3 was since the release of WF4. So far both workflow stacks have coexisted in .NET 4 and there has been no official statement about the future of the older WF3 stack.   That has just changed! The workflow team at Microsoft has just announced...

In previous blog posts I wrote about using Server-Sent Events so send data from the server to the browser. This works but has the drawback that it is a one way messaging from the server to the browser. There is nothing preventing you from doing ajax style calls back to the server but basically you are...

In the previous blog post I demonstrated how to use Modernizr to test for the availability of HTML 5 features. Doing so was quite easy but as every test is always performed to add CSS classes to the <html> element there is a bit of overhead in using the default Modernizr JavaScript file. Fortunately...

There are a lot of cool new features and one of these is Server-Sent Events . According to CanIUse.com Server-Sent Events are usable on almost half of the modern browsers. And as is often the case Internet Explorer is the big missing piece again. But fortunately there are some nice polyfills to take...

One of the cool new features in HTML5 is Geolocation or the capability to determine where someone is. It turns out most modern browsers support the Geolocation API as you can see on CanIUse.com . Unfortunately Internet Explorer 8, the most popular version of IE at this moment, is the big exception. The...
