Thursday, march 3rd, I’m talking at a free one-day ASP.NET MVC 3 workshop, brought to you by Programutvikling AS and Microsoft in Oslo.
I’ll introduce the fundamentals of ASP.NET MVC 3, look at the Razor view engine, models and data access with validation. You’ll get time to try this out in the hands-on labs [...]
With ASP.NETs DataSource controls you can parameterize your query and have those parameters automatically fetched from one of a few standard sources. Those include getting a parameter value from the querystring, a form parameter, a control or from a users session variables, profile or cookies.
These parameter types enables us to build a lot [...]

Did you miss the free one-day ASP.NET courses I gave in june or september? You’ve got another chance now! It’s scheduled again for thursday, december 3. Read more about it AND sign up for the ASP.NET course here!
Windows Azure
Also, since Windows Azure is being released in just a couple of weeks, I’ll take a look at [...]
In this previous posts about Windows Azure Table Storage, I relied on the StorageClient project in the Azure SDK samples. This feels a bit strange, and raises the question: Am I expected to include references to sample projects and be using Microsoft.Samples.whatever namespaces in my future projects?
This raises a couple of questions about license, copyright, support and more. Instead of digging into those questions, I came up with some alternate questions:
- What does this sample project give us?
- How does it work?
- Can we do these things ourselves?
A lot of the searching was done in the sample code, since most of the other articles about accessing Windows Azure Table Storage depend on the same sample files. I was disappointed to see that even the Windows Azure SDK help file shows some partial code calling into the sample project. Little help there… read more»
You can download all the files used and created during my one-day ASP.NET course here. The zip file contains the slides (PDF), the databases and all the files used and created during the presentation.
I added a default.aspx page listing the samples, so hopefully it should be easy to find the demo you’re looking for.

Today I’m presenting the free one-day course in ASP.NET at Microsofts Norway offices at Lysaker again.
I’ve prepared a zip archive containing both the presentation slides (as PDF) and a few artifacts I’ll use during the presentation. (Code files, sample XML documents, sql scripts etc.) Click here to download them! (Come back for the [...]
When searching for articles/blogs/samples about using Azure Table Storage from .NET, it seems most of them (if not all) depend on the StorageClient sample in the Azure SDK. I read about authentication with SharedKey or SharedKeyLite, and I always found the magic of these authentication schemes were wrapped up into several layers of abstractions in this SDK sample.
Hoping that I could get at my data without it (the sample), I needed to research how to authenticate against Azure Table Storage. So how does it all work? read more»
The free one-day ASP.NET course I gave in june was a great hit, so Microsoft and Programutvikling AS decided to do it again!
When? Tuesday September 1. in Microsofts Norway offices at Lysaker.
Read more about the course AND sign up for it here!
(The course is presented in Norwegian.)
I found several great articles showing how to work with Windows Azure Table Storage:
All these, however, assume that the table storage will be used from an Azure web or worker role. I wanted to see if the Windows Azure Table Store could be used with applications running elsewhere, like on your computer. I’m creating a console application here, but the code can be easily adapted to a WPF, Windows Forms or even an ASP.NET application too. read more»
RecentIy I needed to find a specific TreeNode in a TreeView control. I expected that would be easy with LINQ, but quickly realized that there is no method in the .NET framework that will let me traverse all nodes of a hierarchy. I decided to create one myself. read more»
While I believe most or many developers have heard of JUnit/NUnit/<your testing framework here>, fewer know how to write a test and running it using such a framework. And from those, even fewer have a good understanding of how to make unit testing a part of the development workflow.
I’ve known about unit testing and unit test frameworks for maybe 7-8 years. I first tried using it in a small project 5-6 years ago, but it is only in the last few years that I’ve learned how to do it right. (ie. found a way that works for me and my team…)
For me some of the things learned were: read more»
In this previous article articles about parsing files, I took a very simplistic approach to reading a delimited file. I used string.Split, which doesn’t handle the use of quotes and usage of the delimiter character inside quotes.
Well, it turns out theres more to reading a delimited file than splitting at the delimiter… read more»

Today I’m presenting a free one-day course in ASP.NET at Microsofts Norway offices at Lysaker. You can download the presentation here.
If you don’t already have Visual Studio, you can download the free Microsoft Web Platform installer here.
The course is presented by Programutvikling AS and Microsoft Noway.
When you’re doing unittesting in a project, there are two more shortcuts that would be nice to have.
These days, I’m running tests more often than I’m running the app, so why stop at having only the F5 so available for running the app in the debugger? read more»
Microsoft Norway offers a free one-day course in ASP.NET. [...]
Code snippets are pre-created pieces of code, and Visual Studio supports two kinds of them. Expanding code snippets and surrounding code snippets. You can get started with code snippets right away, since Visual Studio ships with lots of them.
So, how do they work? Well, the expanding code snippets are the easiest to use; you select a snippet by typing in a couple of letters in the editor, and press TAB once or twice to get the code. read more»
In a previous article, I described how to use LINQ when parsing a textfile.
Following that train of thoughts further, I found a more elegant way of splitting the lines from the file into columns. Creating extension methods on top of IEnumerable<string> seems like a good idea! Something that could be used like this for a comma-separated file:
from columns in reader.AsEnumerable().AsDelimited(delimiter)
select ...

In my previous article about keyboards shortcuts I promised a follow-up.
Well, here it is:
Many of the keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio are chords. This means that the shortcut is actually a sequence of keypresses. read more»
Reading and parsing files is really no difficult task with the .NET framework. The System.IO namespace has several good classes to aid that task. read more»
