ASP.NET MVC case study solution for PluralSight Guides. Demonstrates using Ajax helpers and JavaScript with Razor partial views.

BlipAjax

BlipAjax is an ASP.NET MVC case study solution to accompany two guides in the PluralSight Guides collection for Microsoft .NET technologies.

PluralSight Guides

ASP.NET MVC - Using Ajax helpers with Razor partial views - The case study presented in this guide uses one AjaxHelper class method, BeginForm to provide the asynchronous functionality needed to update a section of a web page without refreshing the entire page.

ASP.NET MVC - Using JavaScript with Ajax and Razor partial views - Ajax helper methods and extensions in the System.Web.Mvc and System.Web.Mvc.Ajax namespaces can be combined with JavaScript and MVC partial views to create flexible interactive web pages with minimal code.

Getting Started

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Open the solution in Visual Studio 2017 or higher.
3. Select the Blip.Data project.
4. Open a Package Manager Console window.
5. Select "Blip.Data" for Default Project.
6. Run: update-database.

This will create the database, apply Entity Framework migrations, and run the Seed method to populate the database with values for the lookup tables.

Configuration

• Two projects contain configuration strings which may require modification for the developer's specific environment:

  Project	File
  Blip.Data	App.config
  Blip.Web	Web.config

• The configuration strings specify the instance of SQL Server Express installed with Visual Studio 2017 as the target database server: Data Source=(localdb)\ProjectsV13. Developers using a different target database will have to change the connection strings in both projects.

blipajax's Issues

compile error is vs2017

the following error occurs when attempting to update nuget packages before running

The expression ""App_Start\BundleConfig.cs".GetPathsOfAllDirectoriesAbove()" cannot be evaluated. Method 'System.String.GetPathsOfAllDirectoriesAbove' not found. C:\cSharpSample\core2\BlipAjax-master\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.3.4.0\tools\Microsoft.Managed.Core.targets

Bootstrap version upgrade

The version of bootstrap is outdated and needs to be updated to version 4. This will most likely break some of the project. Please leave this out there as an issue, as if I have time I will try to get a PR out for the update to Bootstrap 4

Solution is not compatible with Microsoft.Net.Compilers 3.4

If you clone the solution and by default have the Microssoft.Net.Compilers version 3.4 installed, the following error will occur:
Version Used: 3.4.0

Steps to Reproduce:
Using VisualStudio 2019 16.4
Build project
Tips: the Same project works well in Microsoft.Net.Compilers 3.3.1

Expected Behavior:
Build succeeds

Actual Behavior:
Build fails

Any plans to update this to .Net Core? And use Tag Helpers instead of HTML Helpers?

This would be really useful to me.
