Rebooting Database Localization for ASP.NET with West Wind Globalization 2.0



I'm happy to announce the release of Westwind.Globalization version 2.0 - a database resource localization library for ASP.NET. Version 2 is a major upgrade that includes many new features including support for new database providers, a brand new Web Resource Editor, much improved ASP.NET MVC support, vastly better support for importing and exporting Resx resources, creating of strongly typed classes and much more. There's also a new video that describes features and provides a getting started guide with some detailed background. In this post I review some of the new features and point at additional resources for more information.

Turn off HTML Input Auto Fixups for Mobile Devices



You ever run into a Web site that messes with your user input when you don't want it to while using your phone? You know, capitalize the first letter when you're trying to enter a username, or email address, or auto-correct text while typing a part number. As a mobile Web developer it's easy to forget about these automatic behaviors, when you don't want them as auto correction and fixup is the default behavior. To provide the best user experience sometimes we need to be agressive about turning enhancement functionality off. In this post I talk about auto-fixup behaviors for mobile browsers and how to turn them off in your applications. Your users will thank you for paying attention to this small detail.

Using and Debugging External Source Code Packages in ASP.NET 5



ASP.NET 5 and the new DNX runtime make it very easy to include external source code based packages into your own projects. It super easy to pull a project - including Microsoft's core DNX runtime projects, from GitHub and then link it into your own projects. This is great for debugging and fixing an immediate problem that might be a show stopper for you, or makes it very easy to contribute back to an open source library. In this post I'll describe a debug scenario I ran into in my last post involving a bug in the DNX runtimes, and show how to download and link the library from Microsoft's GitHub repository, fix the bug and integrate the code into my own project.

IPad Scroll Issues with Fixed Content



Ran into some issues with fixed headers again in one of my mobile applications where on an iPad it appeared the content wouldn't scroll properly. I've run into this issue a few times and it turns out it's related to positional layout and specifically problematic on iPad Safari browsers. In this post I'll discuss the problem and the relatively simple workarounds.

Strongly typed AppSettings Configuration in ASP.NET 5



ASP.NET 5 features a new configuration system that includes a number of new configuration sources as well as an easy way to consume strongly typed resources. In this post I demonstrate how to use the basic features and show how you can use different configuration stores to hold configuration data.
