FuseBox in ASP.NET

[Michael C#]

Hi all,

I'm new to ASP.NET and would like to implement a simple app using something
similar to the ColdFusion Fusebox methodology. Can anyone point out some
articles or websites that explain how to do this?

Thanks,
Michael C#

You do not realize it being new to ASP.NET and the DNF which no doubt is
completely new to you (because you asked the question that you did) but
FuseBox was simply a home-brewed attempt to mimic OOP architecture and apply
'pseudo classes' to scripting languages such as CFML and ASP. I adopted the
use of FuseBox for an Intranet project I developed. I used ASP and now that
I have sufficient knowledge of ASP.NET and OOP I can tell you from
experience that FuseBox was a noble attempt but its principles do not carry
over.

You need to learn OOP. A book you need to acquire is "C# Class Design
Handbook" published by WROX. Once you read -- and understand -- what the
subject matter in that book conveys you'll have a solid foundation for
everything you need to understand the fundamentals of using C# with OOP
principles.

Thanks.

I've been writing OOP apps in C++ and about 5 or 6 other languages for about
10 years now and I recently downshifted to C#.NET and VB.NET Windows Forms
apps. Now I'm trying to learn ASP.NET, but so far it seems to be far more
trouble than it's worth. At this point, an application I could have written
in about 30 minutes using PHP or CF with FuseBox has already wasted a couple
of hours of my time, and I'm considering just scrapping it.

I need an answer to one simple question: How I can direct all action on my
website from a single page. Whatever you wish to call it, that's all I wish
to do. So now, is there a way to do this without a CASE..SELECT and a
*slew* of Response.Write's or not? If so, how? If not, thank you for your
time.

I'll be more than happy to discuss the merits of polymorphism with you when
I have more time.

Thanks,
Michael C#

I don't have the experience you have but I do from observation and use of
these newsgroups that many guys with C++ and experience with about 5 or 6
other languages for about 10 years now that have downshifted to ASP.NET are
often writing a whole bunch of code only to learn that 5 or 6 lines would
have got the job done had they learned more about the resources available
from the framework itself.

As for your specific question we still have the intrinsic server objects
available Redirect, Transfer and Excute methods noting the efficiency you
are looking for is going to be found in 'your' classes and/or those classes
accessible from the framework.

As I've suggested, class design as applied to the DNF is well documented in
the book I referred to and a lot can be learned from Microsoft's Architect
Journal [1].

Yeah, that happens a lot when you have to "unlearn what you have learned",
especially when you've spent a decade "doing things the hard way". From
observation I've noticed that many people who are experts in one area assume
that others have no knowledge of anything. As far as learning the
"resources available from the framework itself", that's why I'm here asking
questions of those who know.

The Redirect doesn't do the job required, but I'll check into the Transfer
and Execute methods you suggested. Thank you for the tip.

Thank you also for posting the link to the article on "ASP.NET and the DNF"
(no doubt completely new to me) in your second post.
