Strangely, most of Entity Framework examples are for just one table. In real world, it is very rare, unless you use some document database. Often you get a result set from a database which joins two or three tables. There is one example of how to use navigation property. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb896321.aspx I tried it, and thanks [...]

Using NHibernate, Sqlite in your ASP.Net MVC project
Posted in Programming, Uncategorized, tagged MS Test, NHibernate on April 29, 2010 | 4 Comments »
I used Entity Framework for my personal projects for a while but wanted to try NHibernate. Instead of NUnit, I tried MS Test this time. First problem was that MS Test fails, complaining that hibernate.cfg.xml does not exist. It did not copy the file to MS Test out directory. Of course, I set “Copy to [...]
Deploying Sqlite together with ASP.Net MVC and Entity Framework

Of course, you need to install sqlite or deploy the dll together. Yet I keep forgetting that I need to register “.Net Framework Data Provider for Sqlite” You don’t need it on your dev machine, as Sqlite installation register it with your version of .Net machine.config. If you not register it, you will have an [...]

I work on a few personal projects. Personal projects are fun, because you can choose which technology and tools you are going to use and often you can experiment with the latest fancy things. I once used ASP.Net MVC for my toast manager and became a fan of ASP.NET MVC. Also, my experience with ASP.Net [...]

Visual Studio 2008 integrates Sql server 2008 express nicely into App_Data folder. You just create the database using Server Explorer, and it inserts the connection string into web.config for you. I used it when I worked on my toy project – ToastManager. I finished coding and testing on my machine and deployed it to an [...]

You can come to a same page with the same or similar content with many different urls. Query strings may have user id, session id, and many more. All these varied urls work unfavourably toward SEO. It will be best to clean up your urls, but there is a easy and quick way to get [...]
Display Selected value with Html.DropDownList in ASP.Net MVC
Posted in Programming, tagged ASP.Net MVC on September 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I wrote ToastManager about two months ago, and not try to covert it into ASP.Net. What ToastManager does is to collect people’s toast order for the morning toast run. Why? I just think MVC is cool. It separate programming logic into 3 different layers nicely. The first problem I encountered in writing MVC code was [...]
File is rejected by a third-party system, when it is utf-8 encoded with BOM
Posted in Programming, tagged c#, DreamMail, StreamWriter on May 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Recently, I had a chance to refactor codes for a system that sends a file to DreamMail. Because we did not touch any FTP functionality, we were complacent and tested it up to where files are exported and sent via FTP. Development is completed and the application was deployed to a testing environment. Very thankfully [...]
