Quick References for writing ASP.NET Web Pages with Razor syntax
by Noffer on Nov.27, 2011, under Software Development
There’s a lot of good books out there on MVC, but what about a reference? You tell me the best, so far, here’s my hitlist of reference resources…
- ASP.NET MVC 3: Implicit and Explicit code nuggets with Razor - all of the series from Scott Guthrie are nice
- Understanding the ASP.NET MVC Execution Process – asp.net references/tutorials linked from the main mvc content
- ASP.NET Razor Pages / API Quick References – some more good content at asp.net
- MSDN ASP.NET Web Pages Reference
Singleton
by Noffer on Nov.08, 2011, under Software Development
Saw a new twist on the Singleton pattern. Here it is…
class ThreadSafeSingleton
{
// typical pattern: private constructor and property to return the instance
private ThreadSafeSingleton() { }
public static ThreadSafeSingleton Instance
{
get { return Nested.instance; }
}
// using this pattern helps make a simple, fast thread-safe singleton that doesn't use a lock
private class Nested
{
static Nested() { }
internal static readonly ThreadSafeSingleton instance = new ThreadSafeSingleton();
}
}

ASP.NET Offline Notification Page
by Noffer on May.10, 2011, under Software Development
When using updateable websites, one on the nice features of .Net Development in Visual Studio is the helper page during the publishing process. The auto-generated page is app_offline.htm. So, if you are updating a production site and want to do te publish process manually, or want to script out your own process, just drop a page of that name in your root and you are all set. When you are done, just delete the page. Guess there is a little magic left at Microsoft. btw… what about the Skype purchase?
