  • FLUX

    Not to stress I gave Google a go before actually posting the Question , but most info is very vague. I did some reseach on how this is implemented using other languages and once I have my bearings I will create an article on codeproject

    Hi does anyone have a properly implemented MVC Flux example implemented on .net that I can use to research this pattern.

  • Why Can't I use asp.net controls with mvc?
    L L Viljoen

    Hi I agree with you completely , what I normally do is put my viewstate in a session to avoid the big back and forth , and if you read my posts you'll find that they are completely pro ASP.Net over MVC All I am saying is if you are hell bend on squeezing the very last bit of performance out of your app MVC would be the way to go (it would take you way longer to code and you'll most likely get lazy debugging front end code and just start implementing bad practices) but I still prefer ASP.NET using N-Tier Architecture and good practices over MVC any day

  • Why Can't I use asp.net controls with mvc?
    L L Viljoen

    in one word Viewstate you can still use to controls on an asp.net (not razor version) MVC does give you the advantage of super light postbacks and responses but has. Where in mvc your information is being contained in the model (which obviously excludes ajax calls creates) But in my personal opinion asp.net does seem to take more of an object oriented approach to reusing controls , which makes developing massive information system a lot less painful and quicker ; but the tradeoff is a lot of information being parsed back and forth that you are most likely not going to use every time a button is clicked which is bad for high traffic sites.

  • I am worried about Microsoft
    L L Viljoen

    Back in the day new coke was introduced, most people liked it, so they changed it Those who didn't kicked up a fuss because they made a very big miscalculation , those who liked new coke also liked old coke :) Though not completely the same but here's the thing to introduce this model of business microsoft is throwing in all these nice goodies, Skype calls one drive ect, 10 years from now everyone is on a subscription model and have no copies of the old Office left , and they can do with that price as they please , as end user you might not feel it but enterprise licenses will be ridiculous, maybe its just paranoia but it does have the feeling of paying for something you already paid for.. As for the browser capabilities detection , quickly write a asp.net app in .net 2 3 or 4 (not 4.5) create a basic login, and run it on IE 10 or try storing a session variable, when you have 50+ sites online its not a lot of fun being on the other end of that conversation. For flat sites, basic content sites there may be some improvements.

    I completely agree , the subscription model is nothing but a huge pain and serves no benefit other than lining the pockets of execs with money for products end users already bought. Usually new versions of software was written tested and so jam packed with new features to give end users incentive to upgrade, If the choose now once they start using a product the company does not need to do anything new and still gets paid. Money for nothing is a drain on everyone.

    Actually, there is > Try and find a laptop with Windows 7, try and buy a copy of Office 2007 I believe you can still but 5 years from now I doubt it. not to mention the security patches that will inevitably not be delivered to a discontinued version of windows My rant is not just from a End user perspective but that from a Developer perspective , there is nothing more i would like that to boot up ubuntu install netbeans and get in the zone with java but the most of my end users still uses Internet explorer (not because its the better browser, its because it came with their corporate PC along with Excel and word and all that other stuff that comes for free with open office but for some reason Microsoft still manage to sell to everyone

    Recent changes in Microsoft software is leaving me worried From: Office going to a subscription model , even though nothing really new has been added and Office 2007 still serves it purpose perfectly Bought it for $200 where I now have to spend that same amount every 15 months. Windows 8 changing everything users were familiar with to windows 8.1 bringing back things cut from windows for no apparent reason. Windows 8 prioritizing a tablet based layout making no consideration the amount of laptops and desktops is huge in comparison to tablet sales Now in the past I made no secret of my absolute infuriation with Internet explorer and it looks like they are at it again http://money.cnn.com/2014/08/18/technology/internet-explorer-name-microsoft/[^] And all I can think of is "brilliant another default operating system bound browser which will be a compulsory baby sitting job filled with javascript and CSS layout issues that will be completely different from the fixes done in every major release of IE,and if they really want to make my day cause the same detection issues introduced with IE10 and IE11 making me spend my precious time jumping between different PC's and VMS testing different versions of IE and tweaking my CSS and Browser Files like a jenga tower instead of focusing on functionality and business logic" YAY! I wish there is something we as developers can do to put a permanent stop to these unwanted and unnecessary security risks and changes Microsoft keeps shoving down our throat.

  • IE Stupidity
    L L Viljoen

    Yup they love breaking their own stuff I loved how they broke SQL connections with their release of .net 4.5 then threw a lot of technical mumbo jumbo at it never blaming the actual cause until they fixed it in .net 4.5.1 :)

    Agree , bu the worst mess up they did was write a browser thats features could not be detected by its own Development Framework. Their stupidity cost me hours and days in support calls and hotfixes, and in IE11 they broke it again

    That statement is magic by technology in that it presumes that technology can forever proceed without bounds. Yet it is limited by the constraints of the physical universe both in terms of physics, complexity and the abilities of the human mind (which is just a subset of the complexity problem.)

    True and as our technology grows so does the understanding of the limitations of such technology but keeping in mind that that the understanding of such limitation is only bound by what we know today (here I go looping again) but lets go back 200 years prior to the invention of radio , invisible waves carrying signals and voice across huge distances would have sounded absurd , what we are tinkering with today in terms of the edge of physics might become as laughable as the first experiments on static electricity 600 BC when the use of metal was limited to tools and weapons. Yes when you look at the robots of today and those bulky monstrosities they put together as a "robot that washes dishes" it does not look encouraging but remember even the 1 GHz quad core smartphone we carry in our pockets had humble beginnings Sure I believe one day we will push the maximum out of everything we have and know everything about sub atomic particles but for now I look to the future with great optimism and expectation and like the sailors back in the day careful that we dont fall off the edge of the world

    Also thought it would go without saying but unfortunately have to say it. Computers and the ability to test certain theories and amend would have been impossible with their level of technology. What I mean by it is almost 60 years ago the memory and processing power required to operate an artificial intelligence (capable of even doing motion tracking processing data and identifying objects)they could only theorize machines with that capability (and the ability to change what the definition is of what they deem human). And its true that neural networks was also theorized round about the same time , putting it into practice would have been quite difficult in 1940's as the most advanced machine(outside of those vacuum tube monsters) was probably the Wilkes EDSAC, with a whopping 1k works , 17 bits machine capable of doing only 714 operations per second And yes I use the word sophistication lightly as robotics are not there yet in terms of our sci-fi movies if that is the standard you are holding it to.

  • Azimov's Laws
    L L Viljoen

    Hi Guys thought i should start an interesting debate topic My recent research into robotics has made me contemplate Azimov's laws and the possible loopholes in the laws 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law Well lets say we can put the exact comprehension of such law's in the required 1's and 0's and also forgetting the massive loophole exposed in i-robot where we basically get owned by the first law. How else could a robot willingly harm a human while obeying the laws. Well how about creating its own robot army and then willingly walking away before the dangerous robot army becomes alive (well the inaction phrase basically covers this) How about the ability for a robot to change its own base code , that will erase these directives. (would that be a violation of any of these rules) Edit - Now I know the guy wrote these years ago and he could not have possibly have contemplated robotics in its current state and sophistication. This is merely a debate topic for (find the loophole or try to perfect it) its not like I am going to send his relatives a bill for a robot rampage, it goes without saying but apparently I have to say it

    Tortoise was fun it was 50% development , 50% fixing conflicts and a lot of praying hoping that no one used the merge feature. It did however force me to get familianr on how project files work , like when 2 devs work on the solution and one adds a new reference and the other one adds a new file :) aaah good times spending my saturdays fixing it becuase our manager wanted everything to be able to work clean and compiles traight from a SVN import :)

    hahahaha look at that , somebody did a Google search. Now why didnt I think of that :) Just 1 question if i may . did you actually try this or assume ? the compiler gives one a much less pleasing result when you try to enumerate
