I may have gone down a long and twisted rabbit hole trying to figure out this problem, but I learned a lot about how model binding along the way, so I consider the whole experiment a productive use of...
As I was writing the previous post, it came as a shock how far behind my posts on the progress of the Vigil Donor Relationship Management System had gotten. I...
There are two ways to retrieve the current values associated with an entity. The canonical source is the collection of events that describe how an entity came into existance and then was affected over...
Just when I thought I was in a good place to carry forward with retrieving a persisted entity and then modifying its values, I started looking intently into the [CQRS Journey](https://msdn.microsoft.c...
Creating a patron (by which I mean, issuing a command such that some process somewhere will instantiate an actual Patron entity, and perhaps persist it in some useful manor) is all well and good, unti...

There can be a lot of issues with figuring out how to identify an object, especially as I try to track it across various services, platforms, persistance strategies, and even entire systems. For a whi...

I've finally done it; I finally ripped, twisted, and otherwise cajoled the default MVC template, Identity code, and a few other tweaks I wanted to make into something I am semi-confident will be a goo...
In the quest to get to a Minimum Viable Product, I wanted to be able to wrap together a set of projects that would act as a complete framework for future projects. Every (nearly every) project require...
I have found that it is better to put structure in place around a project before going hog wild on implementation. While I recognize that some practices grow organically, a healthy amount of structure...
Two key library decisions needed to be made this week: choosing the object-relational Mapping (ORM) framework, and choosing a membership provider. To cut right to the end, Entity Framework and ASP.NET...
After several false starts, the convention for how to organize a solution seems to have come together. This also includes how to change the default project settings, and how to keep everything tidy as...
