Zen and the art of Castle maintenance

Just downloading these to take a peek. But, I am curious: have you considered including these the the mvccontrib project: http://mvccontrib.org?

Thanks, Hammett. Now if I could just download some extra time in my day to try this and other MS MVC stuff out.

[...] Take a look at his blog post for more details and to download the samples here. [...]

@Tom, I think Jeffrey will. I have no idea how to operate with Codeplex…

I bet if you gave your permission to Jeffrey Palermo, he’d add it for you. ;)

@Phil, he contacted me yesterday, I gave the permission.

@hammett: Thanks for the nod.

>> “Looks like they still need to make some things virtual and some things public”

This is exactly my biggest complaint against this framework. Sure during this early phase we can tell them that we need something virtual and they might do it. But 1 year down the road when that Internal class makes extending impossible or a real PITA then what? Wait for the next release of visual studio?

@Chris, my argument to them was: give power to the people. I think their audience is much more wider then an OSS project, so they are concerned about not giving a monkey a gun as the monkey might shot someone.. but I think they could be pleasantly surprised if they just assume people will get it and use it right (most of times, at least) :-)

Switch to Ruby? *ducks*

Dont need to duck. If the switch makes sense for your company/client/app/scenario, go for it.

@Rhywun: it will be an interesting day when/if that should ever become Redmond’s response to that issue.

Hey Hamilton, thanks for the project. Will be really helpful for me.

One bug that I saw is
IContainerAccessor accessor = (IContainerAccessor) context.HttpContext.ApplicationInstance;

if (accessor == null)
{
throw new ApplicationException(“Whoops, looks like you forgot to make your Global app ” +
“class implement the IContainerAccessor interface”);
}

the problematic line is
IContainerAccessor accessor = (IContainerAccessor) context.HttpContext.ApplicationInstance;

I believe it should be

IContainerAccessor accessor = context.HttpContext.ApplicationInstance as IContainerAccessor;

since “as” makes it null if the conversation fails.

Cheers.

That makes sense! I guess the cold weather of Redmond affected my brain ;-)

lame excuse, I know.

In his most recent blog post MVC Experiments, hammet includes the samples for download that he created on his visit to Microsoft.
