Adding mobile support for MVC4 Web Applications

A few years ago, mobile web sites were more of an after-thought for many developers unless you were involved in developing apps specifically targeted for mobile devices. I was surprised to read on wiki that it was only March 2010 when Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPad. What a different landscape we have seen since. Desktops, Tablet and Mobile support are now a major design goal for any site that needs a broad reach and this is only set to increase.


 


This article will demonstrate how MVC4, almost out of the box allows us to deliver views that cater for specific mobile devices and keep the code base shared as much as possible, creating mobile friendly web applications. Read complete article...

Windows Azure Storage Emulator failed to install

CodeProject Windows Azure Storage Emulator failed to install When attempting to install a new version of the Azure Storage Emulator either as a separate installation package or automatically as part of an Azure SDK update, you may run into an error message which states the storage emulator has failed to install. This can occur using the Web Platform Installer (WebPI), NuGet Package Manager or when performing the install manually. Below is the message received using the WebPI.   Storage Emulator Background  (optional reading) The windows azure storage emulator executable lives under the Microsoft SDKs directory as shown below: Configuration If we take a quick look inside the WAStorageEmulator.exe.config file we can see each of the storage services pointing to local service endpoints. <StorageEmulatorConfig>     <services>       <service name=" Blob " url="http://127.0.0.1:10000/"/> ...

Azure DevOps Authorisation

Managing whether an identity has access to a given  service, feature, function, object, or method in Azure DevOps comes down to authorisation. Fortunately, by default, the DevOps permissions are set in such a way to enable you to focus on the job at hand, DevOps. Loosely translated this means 'don't get in my way'. My experience is that the Azure DevOps team have done a good job at this, enabling you to crack on developing, building, testing and releasing without much hindrance. Working with relaxed permissions is great when you are the owner and possibly either a one man band or small team but as soon as we need to consider larger teams, varying roles with approvals and degrees of access, authorisation becomes a real concern. I was recently involved in a project utilising offshore developers where trust was a concern and a number of specific teams handling specific roles needed to come together to approve a set of pipelines.  This article is a pick of findings a...

Azure Devops - Pull Request Merge Conflicts

Before a Git pull request can complete, any conflicts with the target branch must be resolved. Out of the box, at the time of writing this article, Azure DevOps requires this to be resolved locally. Following best practices to not allow direct commits to our release/master branches further exasperates the problem as we need to effectively clone the branch or go with a rebase approach, both of which break the natural flow of resolving the conflicts as part of the pull request. With this extension, from the Microsoft DevLabs team via the Marketplace, you can resolve these conflicts online, as part of the pull request process, instead of being forced to break flow and resolve locally. Online Experience After adding the extension the new conflicts tab is visible which enables conflict resolution in the familiar side by side review page as shown below: Really nice extension, which should make resolving merge conflicts a much more straightforward part of the DevOps ...
