I landed on a job to continue working on exisiting asp.net 3.5 application using Visual Studio 2008. The former .net developer is no longer around and I have to dig into the application code to understand how the app works( workflow, logic, etc...)I have added new development to the existing application and enhanced existing pages. Now, I need to provide Technical documentation for the application so any new developer comes onboard will not struggle enhancing the app or do new development following the same methodology . Q1. What is the best approach to provide technical documentation.I thought of the following
I ve completed a web application and now i want to prepare functionality and technical documentation for the same. But i ve never done such documentations. Can someone provide how to prepare such documentations.
I have just started learning C#. Can anyone explain the technical differences between a .Net desktop application and a web application? I mean for example, if I have a simple HelloWorld application using a WinForm, what are the steps required to change that into a HelloWorld web application?
Is there a technical/performance limit on the number of roles an application handles? I'm in the process of designing an application which I forsee having a lot of roles created, to be able to handle the degree of granularity the system should have (e.g., permissions per project, where there could be a lot of projects).
Would you recommend another approach other than using roles for this kind of granularity?
I'm looking for detailed technical information on the compilation process for aspx pages and vs2008.Recently I have been learning about controlbuilders and pageparserfilters. I have downloaded some code to clean out extra white spaces in my html in order to make the pages smaller. The code works great, but I don't understand WHY it works. I need to learn more about the page compilation process.
We are developing a very complex eCommerce portal using asp.net c# and the client asked us to make the documentation very similar (look & feel) with ebay api documentation http://developer.ebay.com/DevZone/shopping/docs/CallRef/GetSingleItem.htmlhat kind of tool they are using and if not do you know anything that can be configured to produce a similar result ?
Now that ASP.NET MVC 3 with the new Razor engine has been officially released, is there any official documentation for it?The question asp.net mvc3 razor documentation? has some good links to introductory texts. But I'm looking for a reference documentation that contains a complete description of all @keywords.
I am developing Asp.Net C# project. I need to prepare documentation for that. Which include Architectural Design,Database and Class diagrams for our project. I searched many sites but I didnt find any perfect template for it. i want to find nice template for the documentation.
I'm looking to find more information about the AJAX AnimationExtender - I get the impression that it is a quite powerful framework, but there is only 1 very simple example on the AJAX pages, and a server-side coding reference. I would like to know where I can get a more detailed explanation of using the AnimationExtender, that might cover more comprehensively all the XML options that are available, and how to carry out Javascript routines - does anybody know where this sort of resource might be found. Presumably they do want us to use the controls to their maximum, but the documentation I have been able to find so far seems quite inadequate. For example, I would like to know how to pause an AE animation, but I cannot find a single example anywhere!
I am new to .NET Programming language. I am working on developing couple of applications using VS2005.My company is a startup company and I am the only developer, so we don't have any standard documentation formats/templates.But I need to use few documentation templates like I need to write functional documentation and technical documentation.Is there any specific template provided by Microsoft or
I've just come across these in MVC, and would like to use them instead of tables sometimes,as tables and DIV's just don't mix well!Never seen these before,and was wondering if there is any documentation about these new table-substitute TAGs? I've also heard recommendations to use these as opposed to tables and would therefore like to familiarize myself with them properly (as opposed guessing how they work as I have been recently).
What is the best approach to one to many relationships?
This is my scenario:
I have a simple one to many relation:
Customer CustomerID Name tel CustomerNotes Id Note customerID
I want to have a DETAIL view of customers and CREATE view for CustomerNotes all in the same page.
I create CustomerController and the different views and its respective actions for edit, create, delete, etc.
I also create a CustomerNotesController and the views and actions like before, but I made the views PARTIALS
I put a RENDERPARTIAL for the CustomerNotes create view in the Details view from Customer.
When I run the app, the page is render as expected: It shows the detail info of the customer and bellow the create form for the notes. However, when I click SAVE, nothing happens. I put a breakpoint in the notes controller and never get hit.
I also try with RenderAction and don't work at all.
I've been reading up on DDD a little bit, and I am confused how this would fit in when using an ORM like NHibernate. Right now I have a .NET MVC application with fairly "fat" controllers, and I'm trying to figure out how best to fix that. Moving this business logic into the model layer would be the best way to do this, but I am unsure how one would do that.
My application is set up so that NHibernate's session is managed by an HttpModule (gets session / transaction out of my way), which is used by repositories that return the entity objects (Think S#arp arch... turns out a really duplicated a lot of their functionality in this). These repositories are used by DataServices, which right now are just wrappers around the Repositories (one-to-one mapping between them, e.g. UserDataService takes a UserRepository, or actually a Repository). These DataServices right now only ensure that data annotations decorating the entity classes are checked when saving / updating.
In this way, my entities are really just data objects, but do not contain any real logic. While I could put some things in the entity classes (e.g. an "Approve" method), when that action needs to do something like sending an e-mail, or touching other non-related objects, or, for instance, checking to see if there are any users that have the same e-mail before approving, etc., then the entity would need access to other repositories, etc. Injecting these with an IoC wouldn't work with NHibernate, so you'd have to use a factory pattern I'm assuming to get these. I don't see how you would mock those in tests though......................
I would like to include a word document, and unused program files in a folder as part of my project, but I don't want it compiled, etc. How is the best way to do this?
Been trying to find documentation on the accordion control. Was wondering if it's possible to have all the Accordion Panes collapsed when the web page loads?
It looks like the final release for ASP.NET MVC 2 has been already around for 2 weeks. Unfortunately, I can't find documentation that's intended for MVC 2 exclusively. I've checked Amazon.com (no book yet on MVC2), ScottGu's Blog (only 2 short posts), ASP.NET/MVC website (they've only posted what are alreadi in the ScottGu's blog).
One thing I've always appreciated about Java is the straightforward API documentation. Since Oracle took over Sun, it is a little less intuitive to get to, but basically, you go to:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/
and you are set. Click on your class in the left area (example: String) and boom, you can read a brief overview of the class, see the various constructors, review the methods and return types, parameters, etc. These days I'm 100% C# and .NET but I often have trouble finding a good class API reference similar to that which I'm used to in Java (as I'm a former Java developer). So I thought I'd ask the community which references you all use and if there is something similar to the Java documentation.
I am needing to produce some technical documentation for a web app I have been developing. I have been using XML commenting with a view to using sandcastle to create my documents. The problem is that I can't see how it works with express as there are no XML document settings in the build options.
Can sandcastle be used with express and if not does anyone know of any (free) tools that I can use to automatically create my documentation?
