If you recall my previous previous post Stored Procs with Entity Framework, I mentioned that you could use SqlQuery<T> to populate a list from a stored procedure.
However, I found that optional parameters must be handled properly.

ASP.NET Anti-forgery configuration
posted on March 9, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Security
ASP.NET has some useful security options to prevent cross-site scripting, click hijacking, and other vulnerabilities. However, configuring these options has a few caveats.
Entity Framework table joins
posted on February 23, 2016 by long2know in Database, Entity Framework
Entity Framework has a nice feature that allows for child navigation properties/collections to be automatically loaded. Essentially, this translates into SQL table joins.
I know this is old news, but I wanted to share a brief experience while updating my own base repositories.
Streamlining Ninject Bindings
posted on February 11, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Ninject
Dependency injection is very useful for decoupling classes from specific implementations. Typically, I use constructor injection with Ninject as my IoC (inversion of control) container. However, I’ve always had to specify interface -> type bindings one by one. It’s very clunky.
Accessing OWIN Context within a filter attribute
posted on February 10, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, MVC, OWIN, Security, WebApi
With a new project we have, I was tasked with working on security. Initially, I used OWIN and cookie authentication to implement a simple login and all was good. However, we wanted to remove the ability to login and have it driven by an external site redirecting a user with a token.
Service Pattern for accessing an external Api
posted on February 5, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Web
A friend of mine asked me earlier today what a good pattern for accessing an Api from within a class library would look like. In .NET, I generally like to wrap this type of functionality within a service that can be injected.
Bringing older HTML up to HTML5 standards
posted on January 29, 2016 by long2know in css, Web
In my last post, I discussed some observations that I made regarding maintaining legacy web-sites. Although, afaik, all of the information I presented in that post is accurate, if you want to bring your old quirks/compatibility-view reliant page up to modern HTML5 standards, here are some tips.
Maintaining legacy web sites
posted on January 24, 2016 by long2know in Web
Over the weekend, I had an interesting experience updating an old, legacy website that uses ASP. ASP is interesting, but the more interesting thing is that many of these old applications rely on specific browser modes or default to “quirks” mode.
Angular Tabbed Navigation
posted on January 19, 2016 by long2know in angular, codepen, plunker
In my previous posts regarding advanced Angular navigation, I showed how to create a menu and use the $state provider(s) to track the current state, which menu option is active, and how to move between states using ui-sref. This particular demo used an in-line service called “menuService.”
This is a pretty solid mechanism for navigation, but I wanted to also take a look at doing something similar with the same navigationService, ui-router, and ui-bootstrap tabs.
