ASP.NET JavaScript Routing for ASP.NET MVC–Constraints
If you haven’t had a look at my previous post about ASP.NET routing, go ahead and check it out before you read this post: http://weblogs.asp.net/zowens/archive/2010/12/20/asp-net-mvc-javascript-routing.aspx

Filter IQueryable by String for ASP.NET MVC
In ASP.NET web applications, mostly seen in MVC, it is really nice to have a standard way to filter a query based on a pre-defined set of combinators. It is often annoying to have to test for different Request parameters in a controller action for MVC or on a page for WebForms. In this post I will describe what I’m calling StringToIQueryable, an open source parser library I built in a few days that I’m using on a few projects. Basically you feed a string to the parser and it manipulates an IQueryable according to a set of pre-defined combinators. The syntax is URL-friendly… that was the goal. Hopefully I will show you in this post how useful this tool can be for both consumption and extension.

ClubStartKit is Reborn… With a new release
The title says it all. That’s right, I’m back on ClubStarterKit. I’ve tried to assure the CSK community in past blog posts that it isn’t dead. In the last year, I’ve done a lot of thinking and outside programming. I’m FINALLY in a position where I have really progressed in terms of project management skill and web design. Many of the opinions I held when I started the project have simply changed. I’ll detail some of those in a minute.

ClubStarterKit - where do we go?
Wow, what a year. Not exactly what I'd expected. Before I dive into where we are now, let me preface this post by saying I have NOT forgotten ClubStarterKit! Although I was not the original author, I feel like it's my baby. I can't just forget about it. Not going to happen.

Source Code conversion as part of a Build Process
If you're like me, you want a particular piece of code in your particular language. For example, a lot of people want the Club Starter Kit 2.0, 3.0 in C# since it has been written in VB. Me being the lazy open source developer that doesn't get paid :), I keep delaying the CSK conversion to C# because of my personal stuff. Then I was thinking, what if it were a part of the build process? Then I wouldn't have to go through the arbitrary process of converting a whole application to another language for a release that I will most likely be changing.

Future of ClubStarterKit project
It's been almost a year since I started the ClubStarterKit project as an open source project up on Codeplex. Since then, we've released Version 2, which added functionality to the original starter kit, and the first Beta of Version 3, which tried to change the data architecture with SubSonic.

SubSonic ASP.NET Providers Revisited
It's been quite a while (2 months actually) since I announced the creation of the SubSonic ASP.NET Providers. Since then, I haven't really done much with the code base, mostly since I have to spread my time out between a lot of things now a-days. But I am about to do some major testing. This is mostly due to the fact that I will plug the SubSonic Membership and Role providers that I built into the new SubSonic Forums built on ASP.NET MVC (appropriately code-named Halawai).

SubSonic ASP.NET Providers Project (and Announcement)
One of the most common things I see on the SubSonic forums is people asking about the Membership and Role providers running SubSonic. And another common thing I see are people saying they are going to write those providers... but it doesn't happen. So, I did it :) I started writing the Membership and Role providers a few days ago... and I finally finished coding the providers today. And I'm ready to publish!

SubSonic of the Day - The Query tool
By now, you have probably heard of LINQ. LINQ, as you probably know, stands for Language Integrated Query. The LINQ queries you build inside of C# or VB are baked into the .NET 3.5 framework.
