Re: AppHarbor + ASP.NET MVC + Orchard = Awesome

AppHarbor is cool but one of the biggest problems is that it does not have local storage. So if you app is already built to use local storage, you will need to convert it to use Amazon S3.

That's an excellent point and I have been meaning to look into it. The
easiest route would be to just create a database in appharbor which is free
for the first 20MB but is persistent across deployments.

When you redeploy, won't this wipe out everything in App_Data?

Hi this article was nice!! But I could not start my app.

It seems there are too much problem with orchard. 1st, Orchardxxx.dll should not be reffered in Bin directory, 2nd there are too much missing file in the csproject, 3rd after passed build on Appharbor, finally it did not work.. Do you have any good way to deploy?

That's right. You have to enable write access. You don't need to recreate the app, simply modify any file e.g. readme.txt then commit and push. That creates a new deployment in appharbor

Hmm.. Unfortunately if you forget to enable "Allow write-access to file system" before pushing and running config, after fixing that Orchard is then broken (YSOD) and you have to delete and recreate the appharbor app. A failure in Orchard's clay component. Not sure if recycling the app pool would have fixed this or not. Not a big deal, as redeploying is just: git push appharbor master :)

Thank you Emad for this post. My feelings exactly at the time and in the same order too. I feel more sane now the somebody experienced the same feelings of insecurity and confusion I felt at the begining of the revolution (still feeling some confusion though)... Good analysis ...please keep up your good posts '',)

Re: It’s been a week since I ditched my iPhone for Windows Phone 7

I don't know, I have only tens (max 20) tasks and it works fine.

eibrahim — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:40:41 -0000

I tried WinMilk. It didn't work for me. Actually, it kept crashing. Maybe because I have hundreds of tasks.

Re: It’s been a week since I ditched my iPhone for Windows Phone 7

Amr Eldib — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:20:58 -0000

To use Remember the Milk on WP7, use the app WinMilk. It's developed by a 3rd party but it works really well.

No support of Arabic, hitting buttons accidentally and not having Audiable work on WP7 are my biggest problems.

Re: ASP.NET MVC & TDD Free Book Chapter

eibrahim — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 09:48:55 -0000

I didn't write one for the book but I meant "later" as in "later in
the development cycle".

It will be a matter of implementing the irepository interface for the
provider of your choice e.g Sql, Oracle, amazon simpledb, etc...

Re: ASP.NET MVC & TDD Free Book Chapter

Davy — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:33:00 -0000

I've been reading the book and finding it really helpful. On page 95 you say that "later we will create a SqlMessageService and SqlMessageRepository. I can find these neither in the remainder of the book or code samples.

I like the idea of being able to switch between in memory and something like EF4 usng IOC.

Have I misunderstood or can you please shed some light.

Thanks

Re: Resolving URL in ASP.net using Tilda (~)

urbn — Sun, 09 May 2010 16:30:51 -0000

I was looking into why an example code I was using also used the tilda. Normally I try to expelectily write out file/link paths and was pretty curious as to why they were using it for their user controls.

It turns out with .net server side controls when the app is compiled the tilda will be "translated" into a Request.ApplicationPath request from within the application project.

This is why it wouldn't work without the runat="server". Its because it only works on the server side and is translated correctly on compulation.

Hope this helps, someone else out if their trying to figure out why exactly this works :).
