  1. Custom Authorization with ASP.Net MVC

    by on July 28th, 2010 at 03:05 PM
    Lately, I've been doing a lot of work with the ASP.Net MVC framework. One of the greatest attributes of MVC over WebForms is its extensibility. Authorization is important to any application and being able to customize it to meet your project's needs is equally important.

    In the ASP.Net MVC framework, developers can use attributes to control things like validation and authorization. To have custom authorization in your MVC project, start off by inheriting from the AuthorizeAttribute ...
  2. Set Initial PDF Document Zoom using iTextSharp

    Another iTextSharp blog post, this time on setting the initial zoom for a document.

    Couldn't find an exact example of how to do this, but managed to cobble this together from a variety of code snippets I found.

    You can set the initial zoom of a document using iTextSharp by adding a SetOpenAction method to the PdfWriter object. I found I could only add this once the document had been opened using doc.Open(), otherwise I got an "Object reference" error. This I presumed ...

    I was already aware of a dll module that provided this functionality, available at iTextSharp | Get iTextSharp at SourceForge.net so I thought I'd post a quick blog about how to get it working.

  5. JmhCommonControl - Providing Common Controls with Validation

    by on March 10th, 2010 at 01:41 PM
    If you're like me, you don't like rewriting/copy & pasting validation code for controls that we use all the time. This enticed me to build a collection of these common controls that I can reuse in every application and save myself from a lot of typing. Thus the birth of JmhCommonControl.
