Official Ninject MVC extension gets support for MVC3

O

MVC3 added support for Dependency Injection frameworks. To take advantage of these features I did a completely new implementation of the Ninject.Web.Mvc extension. Unlike other existing MVC3 implementations for Ninject, this extension goes further than just adding a IDependencyResolver for Ninject. It has tightly Ninject integrated support for various things such as Filters and Validators.
This post assumes that you have a basic knowledge about MVC, Ninject and Dependency Injection in general.

From User Stories to Architecture

F

This is the slide deck of a presentation I gave for bbv Software Services AG at two events in 2009 along with some comments .
If you are interested in seeing this presentation live (either in German or English) then please contact me.

In an agile project, the architecture has to evolve together with the requirements and the code. In this presentation, I’ll show you our agile architecture lifecycle.

Agile UI Development in .NET: Nested Views

A

Updated: Something went wrong with the code snippets. Now it’s okay.
Today, we”l have a look at nested views in my series on agile UI development in .NET using an extended MVVM pattern (table of contents).
There are two kinds of nested views:

contextually nested views and
hierarchically nested views (master-detail scenarios)

Agile UI Development in .NET: Model Commands

A

In my series on agile UI development in .NET, we have seen quite a lot so far (table of contents). But up to now, we never made a call to the model (business logic, services and so on). This is the topic of this post: Model Commands.
A Model Command encapsulates a single action hat is execute against the model. This can be a query to request data, an action that modifies data, communication with a completely different part of the system or anything else your application has to do on the model.

Agile UI Development in .NET: Presenter

A

Next in my series (table of contents) on agile UI development in .NET is the presenter. The presenter is responsible to drive the UI workflow. This means that the presenter is the control center to react to:

events from the model. For example that data has changed.
events from embedded presenters
calls from parent presenter
calls from UI commands

Agile UI Development in .NET: The Big Picture

A

In the last two posts of this series (table of contents) I explained the need for a new UI design pattern: changeability and extensibility.
In this post, I’ll throw a big diagram in your face without much explanation. The reason for this is that I want to give you the big picture before I start digging into details in the following posts of this series. You can always come back here to see where we are.
The Big Picture

Agile UI Development in .NET: UI Responsibilities

A

In the first post in this series (table of contents) I explained why agile software development influences the choice of the UI design pattern. For short, changeability and extensibility are must have characteristics. In this post, I’ll show you the corner stones of a UI design pattern that fulfills these needs. Principles of Object Oriented Software Design – SOLID One of the best known set of principles to achieve my goal of a UI design pattern that is changeable and extensible is...
