Within a new project I’ve been working on, I needed to be able to handle Routes dynamically in Angular. Primarily, this was driven on authorization. Due to this aspect, authenticaiton had to occur first and that’s where the fun begain.

Strongly-typing Angular Reactive Forms

Recently I starting playing around with Reactive Forms in Angular 9. One thing that immediately bugged me is that the controls within a form group are not strongly typed/referenced.
More LinkPorting to .NET Core (Part 5)
posted on August 12, 2019 by long2know in ASP.NET, Core
Continuing my series on porting to .NET Core, I have mostly converted a production .NET 4.5.x application to .NET Core 2.2. As I mentioned, there are lots of conversion points that are worth mentioning for anyone else endeavoring to modernize a .NET application.

posted on August 12, 2019 by long2know in ASP.NET, Core
Continuing my (old) series on porting to .NET Core, I am sharing some of my experiences of moving a production, legacy .NET 4.5.x application to .NET Core 2.2. This was a interesting endeavor since the application itself had some really deep hooks into the older WebAPI/MVC pipeline.
Ripping out those hooks is like opening the proverbial can of worms ..
More LinkWorking with Web Accessibility
posted on May 12, 2019 by long2know in angularjs, Web
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working on making a legacy web application more accessible. Key factors in accessibility are being keyboard and narrator friendly. These factors are governed by various “A11yMAS” guidelines. For this post, I’ll focus on a particular AngularJS datatimepicker (calendar) directive, which is used in the legacy web application, that lacked keyboard accessibility completely.

A few weeks ago, I picked up a treadmill. It’s kind of nice having a treadmill during the winter months so that one does not have to run in the dark while the days are short.
I immediately discovered that the typical apps that I use on WearOS are painfully inadequate for recording indoor activities, though.

It’s been a while since my last blog post. But, I found some time over the past week to upgrade the previous .NET Core Angular template to Angular 7.
More Link.NET Core Angular 6 Template
posted on August 7, 2018 by long2know in angular, Core
Over time, code bases drift away from the latest tooling. If you recall my previous posts about Angular templates for Visual Studio, you may recall I upgraded that template to Angular 5.x. I spent a little time yesterday getting this template upgrade to the latest Angular 6.1.1.
Disabling Automatic Authentication Challenge in .NET Core 2.x
posted on June 14, 2018 by long2know in ASP.NET, Core
Earlier today, I was struggling a bit to get a .NET Core application’s authentication mechanism to behave appropriately for both MVC (view) and API (ajax/json) requests. In .NET Core 2.x, handling this is not as straight-forward as it could be, but it’s doable. Effectively, we want a user requesting a view through a normal browser request to get an authentication challenge / login page, but we want API requests to receive a 401 response and end it there. Under normal circumstances, though, both types of requests would receive the login page.

In case you missed it, Anuglar 6 was released a few days ago. I decided to take one of my primary Angular 5 projects and upgrade it. Man, it was painful ..
