ASP.NET MVC 4.0 Mobile Template

Microsoft has released the much awaited ASP.NET MVC 4.0 developer preview and there are lots of features bundle with it. One of the greatest features is a mobile website. Yes, Now with ASP.NET MVC 4.0 you can create mobile site also. So let’s create a simple application and let’s see how it works.

To create mobile site first you need to click File->New Project->ASP.NET MVC 4.0 Web application. Like following.



Now once you click OK it will open a new another dialog like following where we have to choose the Mobile site.



As you can see in above post I have selected Razor view Once you click it will create a new application like following. As you can see similar structure as normal MVC Application application below.



This view are based on the standard jQuery Mobile. So this can be viewed in any tablet or mobile device. So if you have IPad and IPhone both then it will work on both. You need not to different application for both. see the browser first I have selected standard IPad size of browser.



Now lets see how it look in mobile. So I have made my browser same site as mobile. As you can see its working in both.



If you see the code of view you can see the razor syntax over there. Nothing change in razor syntax. But as you can see in below code you need to use Jquery mobile attributes like data-Role and other stuff which will convert standard HTML into mobile or device compatible website.

<ul data-role="listview" data-inset="true">
<li data-role="list-divider">Navigation</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact", "Home")</li>
</ul>

That's it. It’s very easy you can create mobile compatible site in few hours. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for more.. Till then happy programming.

Namaste!!

NuGet with multiple projects part-2

Before some days I have posted one post about how we can add NuGet package other than start project. In this post I am going to explain another way of doing that.

Earlier we have use ‘Manage NuGet Package’. Today I am going to use Package Manager Console for that. So let’s take same example which we have used in the earlier post. I have a sample application which have three projects.



As you can see in above post there are three projects.

1. MyApplication-Main Web application project
2. MyApplication.Business- This project has business logic classes for application
3. MyApplication.Data- This project has database access layer classes for application

Now I want to add Entity Framework MyApplication.Data Project. As we have to use Package Manager Console. We need to open package manager console you have click Tools->Library Package Manager –>Package Manager Console. Once you click that it will open a console in visual studio like following

.


Now as I have to type following command in NuGet Package Manager Console to install EntityFramework Package to MyApplication.Data project

Get-Project MyApplication.Data | Install-Package EntityFramework

Here in above command Get-Project will get the project where we have to install the project and Install-Package will install the required package. As you can see entityframework reference added in MyApplication.Data Project in below image.



That’s it. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for more.. Till then Happy programming
