ASP.NET Monsters #52: Loading View Components from a Class Library

The Discussion

• 

  Nice, would love to see more about the plug-in framework concept and how you look at it.

• 

  how can I learn from starting ?

  Another approach is using ApplicationPart. You can check it out at https://github.com/simplcommerce/SimplCommerce

  What would be some good use cases for ViewComponents?  I think I say one on menu

• 

  @JohnMarsing: I think the main menu is a good example or even the Login / Register / My Account section of the menu would be a good use case for a ViewComponent.

  Another example I use often is something like a news feed. I like the News feed example because it needs to access a datasource so it can't be easily implemented as a partial view. Check out my blog post for an example of the News feed view component.

  I really liked this.  Small, bite size but very informative.  Also you guys have good chemistry, the banter and mild joking dovetails into more interesting thoughts.  Keep it up!
