Another exciting preview will be released very soon. It seems this release will have a few new things for authenticating users as well as Ajax support.
I also learned that PostSharp is not needed for what I was using it for. The framework has something called ActionFilterAttributes that basically do the same thing and more! By providing an ActionExecutingContext value when overriding OnActionExecuting you can now have all sorts of information about the controller and action that have been invoked.
I’ve been diving into some new .Net frameworks and libraries lately and thought I should share some of the cool stuff I’ve learned. I’m going to share what I’ve learned while using PostSharp with the new ASP.Net MVC framework.
I have already posted a few things about the new MVC framework so I won’t explain why Im excited for it. But, I havent talked about PostSharp so lets go over that really quick. First, you NEED to watch this video. It goes over exactly what I am using PostSharp for and shows off its power in just a few minutes. Next, you need to read up on what Aspect Oriented Programming means. The wiki article is pretty complex though. What you need to take away from it is how it helps programmers ’separate concerns’, modularize your code, easily apply ‘aspects/modules’ to various parts of your code and avoid maintenance problems. Another good link is http://www.postsharp.org/aop.net/.
Let’s talk about the sample project now.
