ASP.NET – Page 8 – Longing to know

If you recall my previous post on ASP.NET Anti-forgery configuration options, you may be familiar with the way the ASP.NET MVC AntiForgeryToken helper adds the “x-frame-options SAMEORIGIN” header to server responses. This header prevents different domains from displaying your site in an iframe. Your only option to manage this feature is to completely disable it.

An all or nothing approach to configuration is quite inflexible. Additionally, if we are using the web.config to handle our configuration, that too is pretty rigid and hard to manage.

I’ve written a number of posts detailing running and working with stored procedures in Entity Framework 6.x. Yesterday, I ran into a weird issue.

Previously, I wrote about parsing an Excel spreadsheet to a list of objects. This is a pretty useful technique, but what do you do if you want to provide the user with an Excel template to get started? Being able to provide them with an initial template based on your object model is a good starting point.

Business people love their Excel spreadsheets. Fact. As such, I work with Excel a lot to parse and manipulate data. However, from a .NET perspective, Excel in its raw form isn’t overly useful. Being able to take an Excel worksheet and build a List<T> can be extremely useful.

Today I ran into an interesting issue. I have a process that uses many database Repositories that are intended to share a DbContext. This is necessary due to a reliance, and desire to use, Entity Framework’s state tracking.

However, once I moved away from working entirely from an HttpContext scope, my Ninject bindings failed me.

If you’ll recall a previous post in which I examined decrypting the OWIN AuthenticationTicket, I didn’t really examine how to deal with the ticket in the context of cookies.

I have amassed a lot of code. When I’m creating a new web application, this is handy because it provides me with a good basis. However, I’ve never gone to the trouble of wrapping all of this into a template to eliminate the redundancy.

Earlier today, I needed to be able to retrieve progress indicators from a long-running stored procedure. The procedure itself executed many different queries, so the idea of sending messages to the client between those queries seemed like a good place to start.

Often, web applications aren’t deployed to the root path of a web server. Also, often, developers (me included) develop applications with the intent of deploying to the root path.

Overcoming this problem with an Angular app, while also making a local build against IIS Express and a production deploy work, is relatively straight forward.

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.
