Abstract:
Back for part 3 in their series for “Using Windows Azure to Build Back-End Services for Windows 8 apps”, Peter Laudati, Brian Hitney and Andrew Duthie show us how easy it is to host services built with the ASP.NET Web API using the new Windows Azure Web Sites feature. Check out the full article here.

Watch Part 1 | Part 2

IMPORTANT:

The Queryable attribute, as shown in the demo in this show, allows all supported query operations by default. Since some of these operations could potentially be used to attempt to mount DOS attacks, by sending complex queries to your service. As such, you should consider limiting the types of queries you allow using some simple properties you can add to the Queryable attribute, as shown in this blog post.

After watching this video, follow these next steps:

Step #1 – Try Windows Azure: No cost. No obligation. 90-Day FREE trial.
Step #2 – Download the Tools for Windows 8 App Development
Step #3 – Start building your own Apps for Windows 8

This week Brady is joined by Dan Roth and Yao Huang Lin of the ASP.NET Web API team. Brock Allen also joins us via Lync to introduce a preview of the upcoming Cross-origin Resource Sharing (CORS) support you'll find in Web API. Brock is a web developer, trainer, and speaker who contributed code used in the Web API CORS implementation and who collaborated with the team as they refined and adopted the implementation. After the chat with Brock, Yao dives in for some demonstrations of what's available in the nightly builds so you can get a preview of one of the coolest new features of Web API.

This week, Anthony vander Hoorn and Nik Molnar from the Glimpse team are on the show to announce the official launch of their awesome ASP.NET in-browser debugging tool known as Glimpse. One of the most popular open-source projects in the .NET community, Glimpse provides valuable run-time information about any ASP.NET site. Using Glimpse, developers can see live information about the requests, configuration, and behavior of their sites, without the need for third-party browser toolbars. Everything runs as a series of HTTP Handlers and Modules.

If you're an ASP.NET developer who wants a better Glimpse into how your site is operating or you need a hand debugging your site as it runs, don't miss this show.

Framework soup

Over the last months I’ve spent quite some time checking out the Kinect for Windows SDK and it’s really fun to work with this awesome little piece of hard and software.

While playing around with the Kinect for Windows SDK it soon became obvious that I’ll need some sort of framework that handles all the tough event handling stuff for me. That's were the ReactiveExtensions framework came into play. Since I’ve first read about it I wanted to use it somewhere but didn’t get the chance so far. Now that the Kinect came around the corner with its event driven API Rx fitted perfectly to my requirements.

Another framework that impressed me a lot is SignalR, an abstraction layer for persistent connections over http.

So how do they all come together? In an application I called ‘KickerNotifier‘!
We have a ‘Kicker’ (that's german, in english foosball/tabletop football/tabletop soccer) to play with in the cellar of our office.

Problem is that the table stands in the cellar and you never know whether it is busy.

So the idea is the following: Set up a Kinect that is able to track the number of people in the room and push the amount to a website so that all the colleagues are able to see how many people are playing.

The technology stack

MY EVENTS - Sample Modern Application with Visual Studio 2012

The main goal of this sample modern application is to provide a sample app where you can see most of the new technologies related to Visual Studio 2012, in a practical way.

Sample application context and scenarios
This sample application shows most of the new technologies you can use with Visual Studio 2012 in order to build Modern Apps.

The context is about an events/conferences management system called “My Events”.
It is composed by:

• Central Web API Services:
• Global Web-App (ASP.NET MVC4):
• Organizers WPF App (WPF):
• Organizers Windows 8 Store App (XAML/C#):
• Attendees Windows 8 Store App (HTML5/WinJS):

Goals
This global system and the related client apps are highlighting the following points:

• Consumer end-user point of view with the latest UX technologies capabilities, typical of Modern-Apps.
• Enterprise and LOB (Line of Business) point of view, when using a desktop application.
• Cloud friendly. You can deploy very easily all the server assets (Web Api Services and Web app) into the Windows Azure cloud.
• Extensible and open to more complex scenarios. Even though our scenario’s main goal is to ‘keep it simple’, we wanted to be able to leave it open for future extensions and complexity that is usually required when implementing a real production application.
• Multiple technical approaches. We wanted to illustrate how multiple technical approaches can co-exist within the same solution (Web, mainstream-app, CRUD, etc.)
• Easily deployable. The RI is easily deployable so that you can install it and experiment with it.

The selected technologies and frameworks used are the following:

• Core
  • ASP.NET Web-API Services
  • Entity Framework 5 (Code First)
  • SQL Server LocalDB
• Web App
  • ASP.NET MVC 4
  • JavaScript & JQuery consuming Web Api Services
• Windows 8 Store Apps
  • Windows 8 Store App using HTML5/WinJS
  • Windows 8 Store Apps using XAML/C#
• Desktop App
  • WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) App

While this show's off allot...

What this sample application is NOT about
This is not a production application and it is not intended as a guidance for complex scenarios/applications, as it mostly covers CRUD and Data-Driven scenarios, only. If you need guidance for complex scenarios, we recommend to check guidance material from the Microsoft Patterns & Practices group like the ‘CQRS Journey guidance’, which shows a reference application with a related functional domain & scope (Events/Conferences platform) but from a different point of view based on design-patterns and best architectural practices for complex scenarios, covering approaches like CQRS (Command & Query Responsibility Segregation) & DDD (Domain Driven Design).

Ready to build it now?

Building the Sample

Software required:

Visual Studio 2012, Windows 8, BingMaps JavaScript SDK [GD: which you can find here Bing Maps SDK for Metro style apps (Beta)]

Check that you have the dependencies, open the solution and run it. The database will be generated for you using LocalDB and Entity Framework Initializers.

If when running the web client for the first time, you get a runtime error here;

...that it can't find a file in the FakeImages folder, what I did was just copy the folder into the path it thought to find the images. Easier than tweaking code.

So I coping the FakeImages folder from
...\MY EVENTS - Sample Modern Application with Visual Studio 2012\C#,JavaScript\MyEvents\MyEvents.Web\FakeImages
to
...\MY EVENTS - Sample Modern Application with Visual Studio 2012\FakeImages

Then the app ran fine. Once run the first time, you can delete that extra copy if you want, it's only need the first time the app runs, when its building its data store.

Also note: When creating an Event, also make sure to add at least one Session to it. Otherwise the event won't show up in the in a few of the Clients (This had me wondering if something was busted. I could see the event in the Web and Desktop apps, but in none of the Windows Store apps... Adding a Session fixed that. Doh!)

Here's a snap of the Solution;

And some snaps of it running on my system.

Here's the Web app;

The WPF Desktop app;

As a Windows Store app;

Wrap up
Therefore and as previously mentioned, our main objective is to highlight and show most of the new capabilities and technical possibilities offered by Visual Studio 2012 and all its related technologies in order to build Modern Apps.

There's a bunch here to look in this source. From using a Solution wide version assembly file, to Portable Library projects, Windows Store apps, Facebook Integration, Twitter, Maps, MVC4, ASP.Net Web API, Json.Net, MVVM, unit testing the web backend and much, much more.

So I hear some of you asking, "What's new in .Net Framework 4.5?" Wouldn't it be kind of cool if there were an app for our Modern App Monday that provided that information? One that comes with source of course! And wasn't just a simple app, but hooked into a web backend using the Web API, Jason.Net and even Code First Entity Framework?

What's New in the .NET Framework 4.5

The ".NET Feature Catalog" uses .NET 4.5 to build an end-to-end sample from a web backend to a Windows Store app. It allows the user to peruse through some of the features introduced over several versions. This was demoed in TechEd 2012 North America and Europe.

The .NET Framework 4.5 introduces a number of features to help solve the programming problems of today. This sample demonstrates end-to-end how to build a Windows 8 app that connects to a web backend using industry standard REST APIs. If you were at TechEd 2012 in North America or Europe, we showed you how to build this sample from scratch. The app itself is a catalog of some features found in the .NET Framework, so you can learn more about .NET simply by exploring the app.

Description

The sample is best experienced by watching the talk for What's New in .NET 4.5 from TechEd 2012. Click on either of the following to see the presentation given by Brandon Bray or Layla Driscoll respectively.

 

The main features we cover in the sample are:

• WebAPI for building REST based web services
• Entity Framework using Code First and migrations
• Windows Store app using the .NET for Windows Store Apps profile
• Async and await to build a fast and interactive user experience
• HttpClient for an easy way to connect to a web service
• NuGet for acquiring the latest libraries, specifically Json.NET

Here's a brief road map of the source;

Source Code Files

This sample was created with the default project templates for Windows Store Grid App and an ASP.NET MVC 4 Web Application. The files that were edited during the TechEd demo were:

• DotnetCatalog/DataModel/FeatureDataSource.cs - used async, HttpClient, and Json deserializing
• WebBackend/Controllers/FeaturesController.cs - contains the REST APIs for the feature data
• WebBackend/Controllers/FeaturesSummaryController.cs - contains the REST APIs for the feature summary data
• WebBackend/Models/Feature.cs - contains the data model for the feature entity
• WebBackend/Models/FeatureContext.cs - used entity framework
• WebBackend/Models/FeatureSummary.cs - contains the data model for the feature summary entity
• WebBackend/WebAssets - the media and text data transferred from the web backend to the Windows app

Here's a snap of the Solution;

And the app running at 1366x768;

And 2560x1440;

And to just show that it is indeed all running locally, I put a breakpoint in the Features Controller...
