Since writing my previous blog post on an Angular reusable table directive, this directive has been updated quite a bit.
The github source and demos reflect the latest code, but I want to detail some of the major changes.

Integrating with ASP.NET Identity’s Schema
posted on June 24, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Entity Framework, Security
My current single-sign server, that utilizes OWIN, does not store information regarding users’ identity. On the back-end, it makes LDAP queries to Active Directory to authenticate users and then makes additional LDAP queries to determine roles and authorization.
Since I’ve been playing with Azure lately, I wanted to re-tool this solution to allow toggling between a data-store for user identity information and Active Directory.
Private Git repositories
posted on June 22, 2016 by long2know in Uncategorized
I really like Github. However, I don’t want to have to pay for the service just to utilize private repositories. If my only option were to pay for a code hosting service, I would probably just host my own git repository.
There are other options for free private git hosting services, though.
ASP.NET Anti-forgery XFrame Options
posted on June 18, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Security
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.
Entity Framework blocking stored procedures

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.
Create an Excel template from objects
posted on June 8, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Microsoft
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.
AngularJS multiselect dropdown (updated)
posted on May 26, 2016 by long2know in angularjs, codepen, JavaScript, plunker
I was playing around with my trusty multi-select dropdown earlier today and a colleague of mine pointed out that changing the selected items outside of the directive would not actually deselect previously selected items. This was a curious bug since I knew I had a watcher on the ngModel selections.
Parsing Excel to a List of Objects
posted on May 25, 2016 by long2know in ASP.NET, Microsoft
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.
Using Table Value Parameters
posted on May 23, 2016 by long2know in Database, Entity Framework
Over the weekend, I needed to be able to execute a stored procedure from EntityFramework that had a table value parameter (TVP) as an input.
I had never worked with TVP’s before. Utilizing them was not obvious to me from either a code-based approach or even directly with T-SQL. Here’s how I accomplished it, though.
Angular ui-router nuance
posted on May 13, 2016 by long2know in angular, JavaScript
Yesterday, I was fixing up a web view/page that contained nested Angular ui-router states to achieve parent/child detail. Interestingly, I discovered I was doing things the hard way.
