Activities of "AndrewT"

Hi,

We are looking to outsource a project and would like to hear from developers that have experience with Aspnetzero. We are also developers but want to bring in some expertise on this framework.

There is a good specification and you would work alongside one of our in-house developers if you have questions on functionality.

The app is a fairly standard app consisting of a Dashboard and 5 other tabs including maintenance/settings.

Please look at the information below and let me know if you are interested by posting your contact details in comments. Thanks!

We have an aspnetzero MVC project.

We want to update that project to asp.net CORE MVC (of course still using aspnetzero).

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on how to do this, approach, or things to avoid, or to do?

There are various references such as the following but not sure how they might apply to the aspnetzero framework;

Hi,

We want to add a "shop" inside aspnetzero where existing tenants can buy products, subscribe for SaaS services (editions), and make payments via paypal and CC. Has anyone got any experience, or suggestions for this?

1. We are starting a new project using v4.4 and asp.net Core.

2. We have another MVC app which we would like to migrate to Core so just wanting to get some idea of timelines.

Do you have a timeline on aspnetzero working with Core v2.0?

Also is this relevant for migration to Core 2.0 from MVC? <a class="postlink" href="http://volosoft.com/migrating-from-asp-net-mvc-5x-to-asp-net-core/">http://volosoft.com/migrating-from-asp- ... -net-core/</a>

Thanks!

Has anyone tried this with aspnetzero? or any other work around?

Hi,

We are using v6.1 of aspnetzero with .net Core/MVC and have SignalR working fine for SQLServer.

Does anyone have any experience/suggestions for running a SignalR interface to Oracle 12c using EF or the Devart DotConnect for Oracle components?

Thanks!

We are using .net core MVC and JQuery.

When clicking on any menu item on the abp vertical menu, the layout page js files get loaded again, in other words a full postback happens everytime the user clicks any menu item. That is slow, and blocks (or actually just loses) incoming SignalR notifications, and resultant alerts driven from signalR dont get displayed.

One of our developers found a solution using partial views which will replace the body content making a ajax call, so the main postback is avoided.

However to achieve this solution we need the abp vertical menu to be generated on the client side .

Has anyone done the abp vertical menu on the client side using MVC and JQuery?. I know it is possible using angular, but we do not want to move to that technology at this time.

Also, say there are 4 main menu items and 5 sub menu items under each of the 4 main menu items.

When we select a sub menu item we also want the menu to stay open with the sub menu item selected still highlighted, and the form related to the menu item to be displayed. At present the menu collapses again each time the sub menu item is selected.

Any help appreciated!

Hi,

We want users to be able to create notes in a text/memo filed and use the syntax "@username of the person they want to alert" so the system will send the note to the people named in the note.

eg @andrewt - You should read this note..

Can you point us to any example for this within aspnetzero?

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi,

I am trying to understand what the roadmap is for aspnetzero, abp.io and Blazor and React for SPA.

Netzero (and I assume abp.io) are really hard (so expensive) to upgrade, and we dont want to commit man years of work to something that will be redundant.

I have searched and read a lot of posts in this forum and on Git that promised that Blazor would be started over a year ago, but in abp.io first, eg after v1.0 was released.

However abp.io has a lot less functionality than netzero, but I see that React native is now included for mobile. Posts in here say that Blazor and React are NOT planned.

From what I see in the groups there are lots of people wanting Blazor. Us included.

So as a customer it's all very confusing if we should use abp.io and live with some shortage of functionality until it is caught up, or just use anetzero; or if abp.io will get Blazor first then we should lean that way, but what if anetzero is going to get Blazor or maybe React first..?

Having good information about the roadmap for abp.io and aspnetzero will help us make better roadmap decisions for our product set too.

Can I ask for some clear statement about the roadmap?

1. When do you plan for abp.io to have equivalent functionality as aspnetzero?

2. Will you be adding React, and/or Blazor SSD and WASM template to aspnetzero? and also to abp.io? and if so when will that be for each?

Many Thanks! Andrew

Hi,

Awesome to see so much activity to improve aspnetzero with release of v8.8!

However I'd really like to vote for an easier upgrade route.

So far this year there have been 8! releases. that includes hundreds of bug fixes, enhancements and new features. That's great!, but....

We are currently upgrading from v6 and it has taken about 25 man days so far including planning and development. i expect it will be another 10-20 including testing just to get to square one.

We used the two repositories process you suggested and have senior devs on this.

During this time we have had to lock out any bug fixes/enhancements which is a risk or means we have to again merge any fixes made during the upgrade.

We have a number of customizations because the functionality at the time wasn't available.

Like most customers we are building products which we have to constantly improve. We also cant ignore the underlying changes/improvements MS are making to Core.

At this rate of updates there will be close to 20 netzero release this year. Some will be to include LTS of .net core so we need to keep up.

Even if we only upgrade every 3rd release and get better at it and it takes 10 days migrate and test, that is over 60 man days just doing upgrades... Not to mention lost dev time, or cost to merge changes while upgrades take place.

Then multiply it if you have more than one product...

If we leave it longer I fear we will have even more time to upgrade each time. It is an un necessary distraction.

For one of our products in v5.5 I am thinking we should just rewrite it rather than attempt to upgrade. Should we use aspnetzero if we factor in this ongoing upgrade cost?

I think it would be a big advantage to the product to have a set of tools to significantly speed up the upgrade process.

Dont stop doing great work improving aspnetzero and abp.io but now the products are maturing it would be great to have a better approach to upgrades and cost of ownership.

Thanks.
