An outlet for my obsession with technology
DDD and ASP.NET MVC
I find myself adding child objects within their parents control. For example; if I was going to add a child. I would call the parents controllers addChild action.
/parent/addChild/2
In this case 2 would be the id of the parent that I wanted to add a child to.
Doing it this way I don’t have to keep an internal track of which parent the user wants to add a child to.
For example /child/create does not tell me what parent I am going to associate the child with. In this scenario I would have to put the parent ID in session or something first.
Not sure if what I am doing is “right”….I think so.

Ok, that might be going a little too far but it sounds like the barrier I wrote about a few weeks ago might be going away. Earlier this evening Phil Haack posted this tweet: Excited to hear this I asked a leading implementation question about honoring the output extension directive in T4 templates. Us old-timer

ASP.NET MVC: Not That Open Source

ASP.NET MVC has one small hook into Visual Studio, the ability to right click and add views and controllers. This feature is small, hell since I’ve been using spark I almost forgot about it, that is until I started working on a simple administration section. The application has enough entities that “Right Click –> Crud”

Base Controller Class and TempData

Need: To pass information to every view based on an environmental variable. The specific case I ran across this need is when you want to use the minified version of your JavaScript libraries in production and the human readable in dev/QA. Solution: Create your own base controller class. Override either onactionexecuting or onactionexecuted. Populate TempData

Ok, I’m starting to think that an internal system for keeping track of what the user is doing is much better then building the parent/child relationship into the controllers.
It starts to get confusing when createChild is in the parent controller but /child/edit/2 is (of course) in the child controller….
and when you start adding all kinds of parent/child relationships it gets really messy.
What if someone beside a parent wants to create a child?

Hi,
did you find a practical way ?
I was hoping to make something like a simple actionlink with the parentid inside the parent controller
then inside this action implement a tempdata value and redirect this to the child controller in the create action where i would check the Tempdata field containing the id…
unfortunatly for now i must have made a stupid thing as it is not working…

I’m still using the AddChild in the parent controller and using services to handle the actual logic. then redirecting as needed.
The AddChild methods are so thin that, if someone else wants to add a child, I am ok with 2, maybe 3 lines of repetitive code….it does not feel dirty.
