Is There An Equivalent To Ruby On Rails' Respond_to Format.xml, Etc In MVC

Jan 8, 2010

In Ruby on Rails you can write a simple controller action such as:

def index
@movies = Movies.find(:all)
respond_to do |format|
format.html #index.html.erb
format.xml { render :xml => @movies }
format.json { render :json => @movies }
end
end

For those unfamiliar with RoR, def index in this case would be the equivalent of public ActionResult Index() within an ASP.Net MVC Controller and would allow the following calls:

[URL] returns as an html page from the view index.html.erb (think index.aspx)[URL] returns the same data in xml format (@movies is the object containing the data all of the views use)[URL] returns a JSON string, useful when making javascript calls needing the same data/logic

An equivalent flow in ASP.Net MVC would (if possible) likely look something like this (if it could be less verbose, even better):

[code]....

MVC :: Equivalent To Ruby On Rails "script/runner"?

Mar 29, 2010

I'm new to ASP.NET MVC and come from a Ruby on Rails background. In Ruby on Rails you can use the "runner" script (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/command_line.html#runner) to load up the app along with the rails framework and then run a script that accesses the model, etc. I use this to run scripts that fetch data from other databases and then insert it into my app's db using the methods on the model classes.s there a similar option in ASP.NET MVC?

MVC Versus Ruby On Rails

Nov 30, 2010

If you were starting a new web development project would you use ASP.Net MVC 2 or Ruby on Rails?

I have recently invested some time in to learning Ruby on Rails because I wanted to learn a solid web development framework. Then I took a new job where I will be using ASP.Net MVC 2.

I know this question is very subjective, but I am planning to write some websites on my own, outside of work, and I would like to get some opinions from others.

What Is Faster MVC Or Ruby On Rails

Nov 16, 2010

I am investing some time in learning ASP.NET and more specifically ASP.NET MVC and I am curious how it stacks up to the competition. I really like what I am seeing so far with the framework, and I think the icing on the cake would be if it shows rock solid speed like I have seen with some ASP.NET form sites.

Has anyone done or seen fair comparisons or benchmarks? I would be interested to see how ASP.NET MVC stacks up against other solutions such as PHP MVC too.

Which Technology Is Best For A Facebook Application Ruby On Rails Or C#

May 13, 2010

My friend and I want to write a Facebook application. We've narrowed down the list of possible technologies to Ruby on Rails and C# with ASP. Here are the pros and cons we've thought of.

Cons:

ASP - proprietary tools like Visual Studio etc. cost (lots of) money. We both don't know ASP (although we're not bad at C#).

RoR - It's scripting so might be harder to maintain. My friend doesn't know RoR at all (but he's a fairly proficient programmer so will probably be able to pick it up quickly).

Pros:

ASP - Facebook has an official SDK for .NET.
RoR - I know RoR. It's open source, free and has fast development time.

What says the community? Is there something we haven't thought of?

C# - Comparing Framework To Cakephp, Zend , Ruby On Rails?

Mar 27, 2010

I am a PHP developer migrating to C# ASP.Net Framework. As of right now, I am experienced in using Php for developing sites and I use CakePhp and Zend framework as my RAD tools to produce better applications.

As I move over to ASP.NET, I have this view that C# ASP.Net framework itself is already a RAD tool and is equivalent to using Cakephp, Zend, or even Ruby on Rails. So I really shouldn't have no concerns trying to find a separate library for ASP.NET that will better applications. To me, in a sense the ASP.NET is already like a MVC cause it seperates the model from the view and the methods are almost like controllers.

Writing A Simple Webservice In C# And Calling It From Ruby On Rails

Mar 12, 2010

I need to create a simple webservice in C# but I'm not sure where to start (I've coded UI apps in C# before but all my web experience is in Ruby on Rails). Where do I start?

The only client for the webservice will be a Ruby on Rails app so there's no need for any HTML rendering. I was thinking of just returning a XML or YAML formatted string unless there's an easier way. I'm not too keen on SOAP but if it's easy/natural in C# & Ruby then I'd consider it (or anything else).

Is There A Django Or Rails For The .Net Platform

Jan 20, 2010

Now before I dive too far into this this question, I am aware of nDjango and MonoRail; however, those project seem to be lacking.What I'm wondering is if there is a solution out in the .Net world that has the following features out of a single box like Rails has in Ruby or Django has for Python. I know tools that do pieces but am curious if there's 1 unified solution out there.

Database Versioning/Migrations
ORM or similar code gen
MVC-based
Pre-generated administrative screens
View generation
Theming / styling
(I'm sure I'm forgetting another cornerstone feature)


There's lots of options that cover one or more of these aspects but is there something in .Net that covers all of them?

Security :: Joining .net And Ruby Project Via Common Membership Provider?

Nov 8, 2010

We have a very large .net site using the sql membershipprovider offered by .net. We need to join this to a ruby on rails project - allowing login to both platforms. The ruby project shoudl be able to read and write to the .net's profile information - but additionally may store extra records against the user. The .net user record should always be the master, with logins anthenticated against this. What is the best way to open up this membership provider - via api or similar. We need something that is easy to snap into the RoR solution but secure enough and extenable enough to meet our needs. Is there some way to add on openID or similar to the .net project - and would this be what is recommended or is there a better standard to allow us to link our users.

Other features we would need to have shared are: shared email address, email verification email for both platforms. Both systems have independent CRMs and email systems so unsubscribing from these would also need to be linked preferably with an independent unsubscribe system.

Where To Get For LAMP Equivalent

Jan 31, 2010

We have a fairly large system involving multiple applications running on Windows, written in .NET. These include a number of web applications using ASP.NET.

We have a number of unrelated web applications written in LAMP - Linux/Apache/MySQL/Php.

The greatest advantage we've seen in ASP.NET is the ease with which code can be shared between web applications, win-form applications, windows console applications, and windows services. We have signficant code in .NET assemblies that are shared across all of these environments.

Apache/Php has some significant advantages over ASP.NET as a web programming environment, but if there is anything in it that is equivalent to .NET when it comes to integrating code that is shared across non-web applications, I'm unaware of it.

Asp.net - SSH Equivalent On Windows

Jan 7, 2011

I am making an Asp.Net application which does the following on the client computer:
Establish a Connection. Check client's cpu usage to see if it is idle or not.If the client is idle it starts executing a c application.While executing the script if client starts doing something (also checked by monitoring his cpu usage) stop signal is sent. Start signal is again sent to the client if he is back to his idle position. If the client is Ubuntu, I use ssh and execute what I want to.What is the way of doing this in Windows without the root access?

Equivalent Of RecordSet.MoveNext While Not EOF In ASP

Jun 22, 2010

I'm using a DataReader to display informations stored in a table. I created Two button to go to next record and to go back. In VB6 I used this code :

While Not Recordset1.EOF
Recordset1.MoveNext
End While

In ASP.NET I didn't find a way to do like it, because DataReader hasn't the EOF property.

EDIT :
While Not Recordset1.BOF
Recordset1.MovePrevious
End While

How can I convert this last code (VB6) to ASP.NET?

ASMX Equivalent Of Page_Init?

Jun 29, 2010

I have some code I would like to execute very early in the lifecycle of a call to an ASMX function. For our ASPX pages, this code is in the Page_Init() function on a base class, from which all our ASPX pages inherit.

Is there an ASMX equivalent to the ASPX's Page_Init() function?

Better yet, is there an ASMX lifecycle diagram like the ASPX one? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178472.aspx

If there is an ASMX equivalent to Page_Init(), I assume I can implement code in a common base class, from which all my ASMX classes can inherit, correct?
