ASP.NET MVC 3 is getting closer…

Time goes fast and for the ASP.NET MVC team it even goes faster. I just figured out most of the features inside ASP.NET MVC 2 and version 3 is already showing up.

So what's new in ASP.NET MVC 3?

  • Razor Syntax View Engine - Cleaner view syntax
  • Dynamic View and ViewModel properties - passing data between controllers and views using dynamic rather than a dictionary
  • "Add View" Dialog Box Supports Multiple View Engines - You two can be in this box.
  • Service Location and Dependency Injection Support - Get your DI hooked into controller factories, dependency injection, action filters and View Pages.
  • Global Filters - put filters on the all control methods
  • New JsonValueProviderFactory Class - Model bind directly to JSON-encoded data
  • Support for .NET Framework 4 Validation Attributes and IValidatableObject - Easier validation including validating one property based on another.
  • New IClientValidatable Interface - Discovering at runtime if the client supports validation.
  • Support for .NET Framework 4 Metadata Attributes - Support .NET 4 specific attributes like DisplayAttribute
  • New IMetadataAware Interface - Write your own attributes to contribute to the ModelMetadata creation process.
  • New Action Result Types - HttpNotFoundResult, HttpStatusCodeResult.
  • Permanent Redirect - More easily return 301s for Actions, Routes or any URL.

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
