MVC in a nutshell

-
Trying to explain MVC in a very simple way.

How do we tell people about MVC, for none technical person or to just someone interviewing you for a job?

I did some research to further strengthen my knowledge in MVC. Here's how.

So what is MVC?

MVC stands for Model - View - Controller, okay hmm.. doesn't make sense yet.

Let's define each.

  • Model - model is all about data and nothing else.
  • View - view is simply our presentation layer, what users sees on the front end.
  • Controller - this is where the magic happens it contains the logic or actions being called by the view.
So what's the advantage of using MVC?


*Advantages of MVC Model
  1. Enable clean separation of concerns (SoC) .
  2. Enable full control over the rendered HTML.
  3. Enable Test Driven Development (TDD) (built with TDD in mind).
  4. SEO and REST friendly URL.
  5. Easy integration with JavaScript frameworks.
  6. Support third-party view engines such as NVelocity, Brail, NHaml.
  7. No ViewState and PostBack events.
  8. Follows the stateless nature of web.
  9. Extensible and Pluggable framework. 
  10. Ideal platform for Web 2.0 applications.

Serializing JSON string to ExpandoObject

-
In some case you want to create and Object from JSON, a great way of doing this to deserialize this JSON to an ExpandoObject. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 /// <summary> /// Convert Json String to an Expando Object /// </summary> /// <param name="that">Json string to convert</param> /// <returns>Expando Object</returns> public static ExpandoObject ToExpando ( this string that) { ExpandoObject result; try { result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ExpandoObject>(that, new ExpandoObjectConverter()); } catch (Exception e) { throw e; } return result; } Here we use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject, you need to add reference to NewtonSoft.Json see below. 1 2 3 using Newtonsoft.Json ; using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters ; using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq ;

Here's how to convert XML to an ExpandoObject using recursion. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 public static dynamic ToExpando ( this XDocument document) { return CreateExpando (document.Root); } private static dynamic CreateExpando (XElement element) { var result = new ExpandoObject() as IDictionary< string , object >; if (element.Elements().Any(x => x.HasElements)) { var list = new List<ExpandoObject>(); result.Add(element.Name.ToString(), list); foreach ( var childElement in element.Elements()) { list.Add(CreateExpando(childElement)); } } else { foreach ( var leafElement in element.Elements()) { result.Add(leafElement.Name.ToString(), leafElement.Value); } } return result; } Happy Coding!

Automatically Discover and Assign Parameter with Values to a Stored Procedure Call in C#

-
I'm sure most programmers have run across a situation wherein they have to pass  a lot of parameters to a stored procedure call in C#. Instead of manually typing each parameter in and assigning a value, why not develop a way to automatically discover the parameter, add it to the parameter list of the command object and assign the corresponding value from an entity or model. Here's my implementation using extension method. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 /// <summary> /// Automatically assigns parameters to Command.Parameter Collection from List of parameter names /// </summary> /// <param name="that">Command object being extended</param> /// <param name="model">Expando model</param> /// <param name="conn">sQLConnection used to g...
