Some code samples might change in subsequent releases. Update 8/8/2018: As typical in this crazy JS world, a new drop of Ionic v4 beta 2 came out while working on this post. The new version includes Angular 6.1, but hopefully this will help you update future versions. A couple weeks ago, the Ionic team released the beta of Ionic v4, which represents a major shift in the way that Ionic works. /post/flow-statements-in-react-and-jsx/ Wed, 20 Apr 2016 16:03:40 +0000 /post/flow-statements-in-react-and-jsx/ Attempting to use an if statement in JSX will quickly be met with lots of resistance. For instance, trying to conditionally render some content like so: &lt;div&gt; { if(true) { &lt;div&gt;some conditional text&lt;/div&gt;; } } &lt;/div&gt; This will generate errors by the JSX transpiler. As discussed in the React docs, this is because JSX transpiles into a series of JavaScript function calls and object creation, where you can&#8217;t legally use an if statement. /post/accessing-the-http-requests-body-from-httpactionexecutedcontext/ Wed, 17 Dec 2014 05:16:53 +0000 /post/accessing-the-http-requests-body-from-httpactionexecutedcontext/ If you have ever tried to directly access the body of a Http request on a POST or PUT in Web Api, you might have run into some roadblocks. Unlike the MVC pipeline, Web Api accesses the request of the body through a stream for performance reasons. Once the stream is read during the model binding phase, the stream is at the end, and if you try to read it at a later time, you might notice the body is just a blank string. /post/authenticating-with-sharepoint-online-in-a-ionicangularphonegap-app/ Sat, 22 Nov 2014 16:30:44 +0000 /post/authenticating-with-sharepoint-online-in-a-ionicangularphonegap-app/ I am working on a side project to update lists in a SharePoint online instance. The project is a hybrid mobile app using PhoneGap and the Ionic framework. I have been playing around with Ionic for a couple of months now, and so far I am really enjoying it. For starters, it uses AngularJS, which is my fav MV* framework of the moment. Also, Ionic provides great tooling to help you build and package up your app. /post/ending-the-debug-session-in-visual-studio-2013-preview-kills-iisexpress-and-how-to-fix-it/ Wed, 21 Aug 2013 18:51:28 +0000 /post/ending-the-debug-session-in-visual-studio-2013-preview-kills-iisexpress-and-how-to-fix-it/ It seems that by default when you end the debugging session of an ASP.Net app in Visual Studio 2013 Preview, it will kill the IISExpress instance as well. This is fairly annoying as my workflow usually involves leaving the browser window open and just doing a new build, and then refreshing the browser. Fortunately it was an easy fix, all you need to do is go the the project properties for the web application, go to the web tab, and uncheck &#8220;Enable Edit and Continue&#8221;. /about/ Fri, 09 Aug 2013 02:22:58 +0000 /about/ Hi, my name is Ely and I am a Denver based software developer, speaker, and writer. I do a lot of work around rich web applications in the Microsoft stack, and am exploring other frameworks/languages such as Node and Python. I also dabble a bit in Android and iOS development both natively and through hybrid PhoneGap apps. I run the Boulder .Net user group, and have been known to organize a conference or two. /post/error-running-node-js-in-iisexpress-and-iisnode/ Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:07:52 +0000 /post/error-running-node-js-in-iisexpress-and-iisnode/ I recently started playing around with Node JS, and have been going through TekPub&#8217;s BackBone JS tutorials (which uses Node for the backend). � In the tutorial, Rob uses Webmatrix on Windows8, and I followed along, however, I ran into a problem the first time I tried to run the site using IISExpress and IISNode: &#8220;The iisnode module is unable to start the node.exe process. Make sure the node.exe executable is available at the location specified in the� system. /post/mvc4-quick-tip-4-updating-a-model-the-http-way-with-asp-net-web-api/ Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:50:04 +0000 /post/mvc4-quick-tip-4-updating-a-model-the-http-way-with-asp-net-web-api/ Disclaimer: This code is based on MVC 4 Beta 1, and might change in future releases. The www.asp.net/web-api website has a few good videos and decent examples, however, I didn’t notice a concrete way of doing an update using ASP.Net Web API.� So I thought I would quickly document how I implemented it for anyone else looking how to do so, and will welcome any comments or suggestions if I am going about this the wrong way. /post/mvc4-quick-tip-3-removing-the-xml-formatter-from-asp-net-web-api/ Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:09:30 +0000 /post/mvc4-quick-tip-3-removing-the-xml-formatter-from-asp-net-web-api/ ASP.Net Web API provides a powerful new feature called content negotiation that will automatically format of your requests based on what the client asks for.&#160; For instance, if the client sends ‘application/xml’ in the Content-Type HTTP header, then the format of your response will be XML.&#160; The two default formatters included in Web API are the XML formatter, and the JSON formatter. The beauty of the automatic content negotiation is that you don’t need to write any code to map your models into these formats, it is taken care of for you by the formatters. /post/mvc4-quick-tip-2-use-delegates-to-setup-the-dependency-resolver-instead-of-creating-a-dependency-resolver-class/ Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:29:11 +0000 /post/mvc4-quick-tip-2-use-delegates-to-setup-the-dependency-resolver-instead-of-creating-a-dependency-resolver-class/ I’m a big fan of cutting out unneeded or unnecessary code, so here is a tip that isn’t new in MVC4, but I just discovered it and thought it was really cool and worth sharing.&#160; When using IOC in MVC, you setup a class that implements IDependencyResolver, which has methods to return services for a given type.&#160; While these classes where simple, it always seemed like a bit of ceremony was required whenever starting up a new MVC app. /post/mvc4-quick-tip-1-put-your-api-controllers-in-a-different-folder-to-avoid-class-naming-collisions/ Mon, 20 Feb 2012 15:23:16 +0000 /post/mvc4-quick-tip-1-put-your-api-controllers-in-a-different-folder-to-avoid-class-naming-collisions/ This post is the start of a series of quick tips for Asp.Net MVC 4, which was released in beta form last week.&#160; You can find out more about MVC4 and download the beta from www.asp.net/mvc/mvc4. Disclaimer: This code is based on MVC 4 Beta 1, and might change in future releases. MVC 4 ships with the new Asp.net Web APIs, which allow you to create RESTful services from within your web projects (Web Forms or MVC). /post/a-quick-update-on-rocky-mountain-tech-trifecta-2012/ Sat, 18 Feb 2012 08:34:00 +0000 /post/a-quick-update-on-rocky-mountain-tech-trifecta-2012/ I have been getting a lot of inquiries on what or if anything is happening with the Rocky Mountain Tech this year. &nbsp;And rightfully so, as it has nearly been a year since last year&#8217;s Trifecta took place. &nbsp; The answer to these questions is yes, there will be a Trifecta this year, and that I am currently trying to nail down the dates and logistics with our venue. &nbsp;I wanted to host the Trifecta around a month later this year compared to years past, but it looks like it will be a bit longer wait then that. /post/microsoft-mvp-award-for-asp-netiis/ Sat, 01 Oct 2011 04:45:13 +0000 /post/microsoft-mvp-award-for-asp-netiis/ I was honored this morning when I checked my email and discovered that I have been awarded a Microsoft MVP Award in ASP.Net/IIS for the 2011&frasl;2012 year.&#160; This was a great surprise and I’m excited to be joining a group of people I highly regard in the community. For those of you not familiar with the MVP program, Microsoft MVP’s are those individuals that share their time and knowledge with the developer community around Microsoft tools and technologies. /post/notes-from-build-conference-day-2-keynote/ Wed, 14 Sep 2011 07:23:05 +0000 /post/notes-from-build-conference-day-2-keynote/ Just like yesterday, here are my raw notes from watching the Build day 2 keynote.&#160; Also just like yesterday, I don’t guarantee the accuracy of these Day 2 keynote ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Theme o&#160;&#160; Windows server 8, azure, vs2011 ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Multiplayer game between wp7 and windows 8 communicating through azure ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Productivity power tools has 1m + dl o&#160;&#160; Installed by default in vs2011 ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; VS 2011 o&#160;&#160; Find matching clones §&#160; Finds code similar to selected text? /post/notes-from-build-conference-day-1-keynote/ Tue, 13 Sep 2011 08:24:53 +0000 /post/notes-from-build-conference-day-1-keynote/ Here are my raw, unedited notes from today’s Build conference keynote that I took while watching the live stream.&#160; I don’t make any claim they are 100% accurate, but just what I interpreted as I heard them. ·&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Windows 8 will run all windows 7 apps?

It then dawned on me that the global filters are actually being instantiated in the global. /post/add-a-little-salt-to-your-hashed-passwords-with-system-web-helpers-crypto/ Tue, 24 May 2011 17:25:25 +0000 /post/add-a-little-salt-to-your-hashed-passwords-with-system-web-helpers-crypto/ In the news lately, there have been many incidents of data being stolen.&#160; On sensitive information, it’s a good practice to use encryption to add an extra layer of protection in case your data does get stolen.&#160; For passwords, a cryptographic function called a hash is often used.&#160; A hash takes a string of data, and returns an (hopefully) unique value that can be used to identify the original string.&#160; Hashing is a form of one way encryption, which means that once you hash something, you can’t un-hash it. /post/ddd-nlayered-architecture-guide-from-microsoft/ Fri, 20 May 2011 04:18:52 +0000 /post/ddd-nlayered-architecture-guide-from-microsoft/ The Platform Architecture Team at Microsoft has published a mammoth (~500ish pages) guide on doing Domain Driven Architecture on the .Net platform.&#160; I have only browsed through it so far, but it looks to have some pretty good information if you are wondering on different techniques in architecting your application.

In VS2008, go to Tools&gt;Options&gt;Text Editor&gt;JScript&gt;Formatting.&nbsp; Uncheck &ldquo;Format completed line on Enter&rdquo;.&nbsp; This will keep the IDE from changing the formatting when adding new lines of code to a function/code block in JavaScript. /post/rocky-mountain-tech-trifecta-v2-0/ Wed, 03 Feb 2010 13:10:18 +0000 /post/rocky-mountain-tech-trifecta-v2-0/ Last year was the first Rocky Mountain Tech Trifecta, and it was a blast.&#160; Nearly 400 developers, DBAs and IT admins descended into Denver and took part.&#160; It is an all day code camp/server camp/PASS camp.&#160; The event is happening again this year, Saturday February 27th.&#160; I’ll be speaking again at this years event, this time on jQuery for .Net Developers.&#160; Go to the site http://www.rmtechtrifecta.com and check out the schedule and register now! /post/visual-studio-2010-not-starting-with-an-the-application-cannot-start-error/ Tue, 08 Dec 2009 12:19:23 +0000 /post/visual-studio-2010-not-starting-with-an-the-application-cannot-start-error/ I started getting this error out of the blue trying to startup VS 2010 tonight.&#160; A quick bingle search lead me to the Microsoft Connect site where somebody has already filed it as a bug, and a quick workaround to get VS to start again was to run “devenv /resetuserdata” in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE directory.&#160; The problem seems to stem from having a corrupted profile (at least it did for me), and running that command fixed the problem. /post/what-type-of-video-gaming-character-am-i/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:56:00 +0000 /post/what-type-of-video-gaming-character-am-i/ /post/demos-for-jquery-for-asp-net-developers-talk/ Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:03:00 +0000 /post/demos-for-jquery-for-asp-net-developers-talk/ Here is the demos that I will be using for my Talk tonight on jQuery.
