ASP.NET and MVC / Let's combine with Sitecore

-
Ok,

I have been delaying this too long. It's time to get onto the bandwagon and join all you guys out there with MVC and Sitecore.

And since I recently heard a Sitecore representative say that Sitecore is embracing and enforcing the MVC approach I find it high time.

So, lets try to find all information I possibly can to make sure I get a good start on this.
First off, I found this information :

-          http://sitecore-community.github.io/docs/documentation/Sitecore%20MVC/index.html - Very up to date, thank you Martina Wehlander !

Wondering if the above, combined with the information om the VirtualSummit will provide me with all the information I need to make this work flawlessly.

And let's hope all modules and products are able to do what I want to do through MVC as well...

-update- (!) Found the following KB article on Sitecore giving good insight on what modules and products can be used with Sitecore MVC approach: https://kb.sitecore.net/articles/522918/

Stupid exception: Device is not ready – System.IOException .net

-
When installing a Sitecore implementation from an development server environment to my laptop I ran into an absolutely stupid error. And it's great to have this kind of errors pop up from time to time even if you have been in the development world for so long and are still unable to fix it immediately. So, what error did I get? Device is not ready – System.IOException .net That is right... Nothing at all related to Sitecore. But then you start to doubt that as my stacktrace showed to Lucene [IOException: The device is not ready. ] System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) +1091 System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectory(String fullPath, String path, Object dirSecurityObj, Boolean checkHost) +1413 System.IO.Directory.InternalCreateDirectoryHelper(String path, Boolean checkHost) +92 Sitecore.IO.FileUtil.EnsureFolder(String path) +128 Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider.LuceneIndex.CreateDirectory(String folder) +100 Sitecore.Co...

Date Ranges in C#

-
DateRange utility class Throughout development there are a number of typical things that tend to recur. One of these is implementing a means to display start and end dates for News, Events, Symposiums, Lives etc etc Writing a little class that manages printing these dates seemed like a necessary task that just had to be done in order to make this tedious task be a thing of the past. Therefore I created my "DateRange" class (what's in a name) that should handle this entirely for you. The Idea The intriquities of displaying a datetime range should be an abstraction. You should only need to worry about passing the correct dates (start and end - if applicable) to the Utility class combined with an optional formatting. The class can be entirely configured through use of Enumerations for all the separate settings such as DayFormat etc. An additional class was used to implement this utility, the StringValue attribute class. You can easily use thie class to a...

During the last Sitecore User group session here in Belgium, Ryan Donovan was featured as the central speaker. The following two topics were on the agenda: Sitecore Commerce An in-depth information on 8.2 and 8.3 I was impressed by the drive behind Ryan and his team(s). It emphasized the drive that is pushing Sitecore forward. Sitecore is putting a lot of effort in producing well hardened and tested product releases that bring new features and rich applications. Sitecore Commerce Previous Sitecore commerce solutions were structured around either SCpbCS and SCpbMD. However, the vNext commerce product has been newly developed from the ground up. Previously, the commerce solution focussed itself around the architecture of Commerce Server to provide and API, manage the products and to derive the entire feature set from. With this Commerce vNext solution, Sitecore has set forward the aspiration to become one of the market leaders in commerce. The fist aim is to focu...
