Castle Contrib Screencast

April 23rd, 2007

Colin has made available some nice screencasts about MonoRail. The one I enjoyed the most was about the Contrib. He explained the CodeGenerator that these guys came up with and others brains on Castle list quickly adopted and improved. Due to my usual lack of time I had no idea on how the generator worked and how to use it, so this screencast was very valuable. And btw, that’s cool stuff! :-)

The thing with the codegenerator was that I knew it was cool, but the level of entry was too high. By working through it myself I was able to show it off in a more accessible way than had been done previously. It would be really cool to develop this further - for example, Metasapiens PageMethods is somewhat similar and uses a VS addin to bypass the need to edit the .csproj file.

And ActiveWriter is just plain awesome, it makes it a breeze to set up both the models and the relations, and exposes all of the attributes you can set in a visible way. The thing I’d like to see for the next version is more documentation in the UI for the attributes such as Cascade and Sort.

Thanks for the kind words Hammett :D
