Deployment features in VS2008

Often a current version of visual studio will get new features with service packs and will later be included in the next release of visual studio, for example ajax in 2005 and deployment features.

Copy Web site: http or ftp
Publish web site: strong naming

The web deploymenbt project allows to manage the build aslo, on top of the setup program, all this is contaikned into an msbuild file(xml) witht he wdprof file extension.
It is possible to decide to include pdb or not, and manage output assemblies, for example, to remap which file will be put in which assembly.
Strong name signing is possible, and this requires a key file.

There is a configuration packager that allows to replace sections of the web.config file with replacement files, that need to go within the website directory.

You can tell it to remove the App_Data folder if you dont use it. Sections can be added to run after build.


Note on AJAX navigation history.

States are not saved to go to the previous state, and browser history works only with URLs. History feature has to be added manualy, in the script manager EnableHistory.
The ScriptManager's IsInAsyncPostBack and IsNavigating properties are usefull to check if in a ajax postback or navigating.
It will modify the query string of the url so that the 'back' button can be used, it can be incripted by setting the value in the web.config.
AJAX history makes it easier for the users to return to previous versions of the same page.

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...
