Since the 1.3 sdk update, setting up multiple websites on a single web role is pretty straight forward. However, there is a little bit of a gotcha when using TFS build to compile and publish the packages. The problem is that when you combine two or more website projects into a single role, the azure [...]
I have recently started using NHibernate for a project because I wanted something that would work in Mono on linux and coupled with Fluent NHibernate, seemed like the best choice to work with MySql. It wasn’t long before I began to use the NHibernate Validator framework to provide some validation on my models. Using it [...]
It has been a few years since I have had the chance to explore the latest enhancements to ASP.NET. The development in my day job was locked into traditional ASP.NET forms just before MVC 1.0 was released and there has not been any opportunity to change.
