70-562 Coding Web Parts


Coding Web Parts.

The Web Part framework helps you write code to control all aspects of web parts behavior.

Not all things are automaticaly handled, changing the display mode, changing the personalizing scope, reseting data, creating web parts with custom or user controls, and creating connections.

PersonlizationADministration.FindSharedState method allows to find the personlization data using the FindUserState and ResetUser state.

Web parts can be implement following those typical patterns,
Master/Details(one shows the order, the other the items),
Filter by Form(one shows the order, other allows to edit items,
List/Form
InputDisplay: one to edit, the other to view

A web part can be a data provider, or consumer, or both.

When using provider/consumer, The data is not guaranteed to be final until the prerender event.

Custom controls as web parts allow to add new verbs to web parts, like, Verify.

Specifying whether a control is a provider or cusumer is done in the class using attributes, there are many attributes that allow to specify the scope etc, take time to go through those attributes to see which could be usefull.

React JS Patterns

React JS is always evolving, and evolving quickly. These evolutions can be very significant ones, for example, the addition of hooks. React has a lot of code patterns, often these patterns are motivated by the DRY and/or the open-close principle. These patterns sometimes come in to replace a previous one, yet the previous ones still stays in use, as a consequence, the list of patterns keep growing. The goal of the next few posts will be to list the patterns commonly used in React JS developpement. Some patterns are more specific to JSX and I will start with these, and maybe add patterns specific to Redux.

Rxjs Forkjoin vs Zip

These Rxjs combination operators are handy to make Rest calls in parallel and combine their results. Both take n observables and will return the results, with the difference that forkJoin will complete even if one of the nested observables errors of completes.

70-562 Custom Visualizers

Framework objects are clearly viewable in the locals window during debugging. User made class librairies and their object need to provide visualizers for maintenance and debugging. You can create your own visualizers, MS exposes the functionnality through the .Net Framework; and this is relatively easy. Mulitple visualizers can be created per type. You can have tree views, grids; customizing it to the way that is the most usefull for debugging this particular object. The [Serializable()] attribute has to be included to your class to allow the visual studio visualizer to parse the object. A visualizer is a dll, a regular assembly, it requires a windows form to display the data. The visualizer class will be implemented by the form. The visualizer class has to inherit the DialogDebuggerVisualizer class with the DebuggerVisualizer attribute, and also the Microsoft.VisaulStudio.DebuggerVisualizers namespace. The visualizer can be made to only read, or modify existing data. T...
