Base solution for your next web application

Activities of "bbakermmc"

We don't use code first. We have a separate context that we keep all our own models in. And we let ASPNetZero maintain its own context/models. Keeps things clean this way. Plus we use SSDTs to keep our DBs in line so its DBFirst. Also like I said, we use DevExtreme so the RadTool doesnt really work for us.

Yes - I just started writing T4s this week to automate some of our development work. We are still on 4.6 and when we move to v5 I wanted to script out a bunch of things that we have learned along the way and get some stuff refactored and the code cleaned up. For us the T4s will be more of a starting point for new development, it will save a little time but honestly, you could do a lot of what the RadTools and T4 is doing by copy/paste/find/replace if your files are setup correctly. We dont have "simple" logic/tables so the T4s are just the basic template stuff so we can do more of the "real" work.

Heres the TT. It has some customization's specific for us.

I posted an example here: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-zero-core/issues/1056">https://github.com/aspnetzero/aspnet-ze ... ssues/1056</a>

Why do you need to use fluent design? There something specific you need that cant be done via the models? I use this mainly for the models. I modified the source code a little for our use cases, but Im looking at building out some T4 to do the same thing. Also the T4 could generate .net core code, since at that point its just generating text. <a class="postlink" href="https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/892233/POCO-Generator">https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/89 ... -Generator</a>

I was never a fan of the RadTools. We have DBAs that generate our tables and use DevExtreme controls, seems like they spending a bunch of time on RadTools though instead of just writing some basic T4s. Very basic things like just adding a new permission or navigation node are missing from the tool set unless you make a new entry. Why?!?!

T4s seems to be the "easiest" way for now. I dont see a problem with making a new project thats not .net core based, we will only use it to generate the templates and move the code into the existing project locations.

Just make a .net 4.7 project to generate your code with T4s, then move the files manually.

Whats the difference, dont they do the exact same thing? Its just semantics now

They didnt support it because it wasnt available initially. There is no reason they cant support it now, its been 2.0 for a couple of months.

You can track above, I bumped the post for you.

No idea, our analytics people use Domo. If youre SQL based SSRS would be free. There telerik reporting, devexpress has one, probably any 3rd party toolset has a version. Again though, not sure why you wouldnt just make a dashboard then using some other format.

Isnt that what the entire dashboard example is?

Whats the point of the address table if you only have a 1 to 1 relationship?

Address should return a collection of Customers.
