I recently was working on an Angular 2 demo that demonstrate top to bottom application development. It took me a couple of hours to figure everything our, so I wanted to take a few minutes to document my steps. First things first, we have to include necessary script files for both Angular 2 and HTTP. …

I have been working on a number of Angular apps in the past 2 years, since I first heard about Angular and started studying the technology. I wrote my first TypeScript app using TypeScript 0.4, which also used Angular about 1.5 years ago. I blogged about my experiences previously quite a few times. Here is …

I blogged many times before on use of CSHTML MVC views in Angular application. They make it easier to implement things like validation and localization, as well as generate uniform look and feel for views. However, I am still against using those views to serve the data.

Yesterday I spoke at Visual Studio Live event in Chicago. I presented two talks, really on the same topic – building web applications with TypeScript and Angular. My demos and presentations actually touched on a number of other technologies – Entity Framework, Web Api, ASP.NET MVC. I wanted to post the slides and demos. Build …

I blogged recently about implementing validation in Angular forms. In this post I will talk about the pattern I use in my applications, both Angular and pure ASP.NET MVC to supplement JavaScript based validation on the server. First of, I would like to start by making a case why I like to generate my forms …
I am going to write a few (two I think) posts on how to implement validation in Angular applications. In this post I am going to talk about showing validation messages and control form submittals. In the next post I will improve on the concept by showing how to help the mundane tasks of creating …
First I would like to talk about using MVC views (CSHTML files) for Angular views. In my option, I like powerful features that MVC views bring to the table. I can for example, use my models to generate input controls and validation messages on the server automatically. More on that subject in subsequent posts. I …
