can anyone point me to any EventStore sample application with source code?
I'm learning event storing and want to view a reference implementation.
There seems to be a lack of full-featured sample projects for a lot of this stuff. So far the best option for EventStore/CommonDomain that I've found is Haf's Documently project on GitHub. You can find both source code and wiki pages there. It seems to gloss over some of the complications of real-world apps but it was enough to get me started with my own prototyping.

You might not like these kinds of questions, but I rely on the professionalism of StackOverFlow.
I have a very big ASP.NET web application, it contains many projects, a container (father) project, and multiple module projects. Obviously it's connected to a big SQL Server database as well.
This application doesn't have a specific documentation.
Is there a way (special tools, advices...) that would help me in understanding the functionality of the application gradually?
I meant by special tools, those that might be representing the structure of the system in diagrams or so.
I cannot find a way to start with.
Note: I'm using Visual Studio 2010, the application is built using .NET 3.5
Thank you for your opinions.
Personally, I usually prefer to start by looking at the database design. Depending on how it was set up, you should be able to create a database diagram which will show you all of the relationships between the tables.
Once you have a grasp of the database design, you should have a basic understanding of what the system is doing, which should give some context to the different processes and work flows throughout the web application.
If the application has a Sitemap, I would examine it throughly, as it should help you to better understand the flow of the application. If available, you should also look at the class diagram to see how the different classes relate to one another.
Without any kind of documentation, you'll probably have to use bits and pieces to understand how the application works. I'm not sure, but there may be some plugins available that can help you with this. Something like CodeRush or Resharper might be helpful. There's also a plugin called GhostDoc that might come in handy too.
Hope this helps.
Visual studio 2010 has architectural analysis it can perform on your projects with the ultimate version. This can help you in understand the app, what crosses layers, etc.
See:

You can have a look at this MSDN page, which will show you how to generate a UML diagram from your codebase. This will give you a rough overview of how things fit together, and what communicates with what (I haven't used this tool so I'm unsure of how much information is provided, or whether it is configurable).
Also, make sure you ask your teammates, or anybody else who has worked on this application before (there have to be a few such people around if it's such a huge project). They should definitely make the time to explain things to you, or at least answer specific questions you have.
Recently I ran into this open source project ASP.NET WebformsMVP.
It seems like an alternative to asp.net mvc and also a quick way to introduce testability into an existing webforms applications. (without having to go through the pain of rewriting a bunch of code to make it work for asp.net mvc)
Of couse community support and open-source projects abandonment is always a concern when trying new things, but moving on from those fears, has anyone giving it a serious try at this framework? If so, can you share some insight into its pros/cons and if it's really worth trying it?
Thanks a lot!
WebformsMVP is included in DotNetNuke now, so we have started using it indirectly as part of custom module development within DNN.
I don't think we're fully utilizing everything the framework is capable of, but have had no problems to date. The implementation is very clean and simple to implement, and retrofitting existing webforms code is fairly straightforward. For us the learning curve has been minimal.
We have run into a number of cases where we aren't certain of the "right" way to do things, and have found pretty limited guidance online. (Try as I might to avoid it, sometimes I just have to poke some stuff into the ViewState.) But, with it being used by the DNN team, we feel pretty confident that it will not fade away soon, and a growing number of examples should appear online.
Of course I encourage its use, even if only for the selfish reason of wanting to see the community grow.
Does anybody knows good, short and slim tutorials, which describe actual/modern web-application architectures / patterns (especially for ASP.NET based (classic and MVC) applications (maybe also with embedded Silverlight components) ?
How would you you design today an ASP.NET application which uses different datasources (databases, services,...) ?
Background: I has been away a couple of years writing web applications, and I want to start now again. So at the moment I am a little bit unsure, how to take off and find the right starting point.
If you're interested in MVC I'd suggest starting out with the offical MS tutorials:
http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials
There happens to be an upcoming free online conference on ASP .NET MVC that may interest you: http://mvcconf.com/
Check out Sharp Architecture:
http://wiki.sharparchitecture.net
there are some articles that describe how & why it's architected the way it is that might help you with your project.
You can take reference of following -
http://mvcmusicstore.codeplex.com/
http://nerddinner.codeplex.com/
You have many questions embedded in one :)
short and slim tutorials = For getting architectures/patterns explanation is always bit more extensive since original developer/reviewer explains the design decisions or thought process of selection of components used.
I would like to recommend P&P's Application Architecture Guide (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650706.aspx) for reference architectures.
Real World Coding Examples: There are lot many on GitHub. It really depends on the type of app you are taken for development and business domain.
Some pointers: http://www.asp.net/web-forms/samples, NopCommerce,http://www.magelia.org/,www.teamlab.com etc. There is lot of good codebase which is working and available on GitHub etc.
PS: Start with www.asp.net Best resource!
Hope this helps.
I'm looking for a good asp.net webforms reference application.
We have some developers with VB6 experience, but no web application experience. I'd like to provide them with a couple of example apps that make use of a few simple forms, some user controls, db access, etc. An application that made use of a separate project for classes would be a nice bonus.
There seem to be a lot of very simple examples/tutorials for given features, but I can't find a good reference app that covers all of the above-mentioned topics.
Any suggestions?
I would recommend the ASP.NET starter kits here on the asp.net site. They are pretty diverse. My suggestion would be to actually try the hosted versions until you find one that suits the features you're trying to demonstrate. BeerHouse is a great start.
This one looks pretty interesting. It's a shameless plug for the Infragistics controls, but it looks like they're doing some non-trivial things:
The reference application shows the
use of web services, client side java
scripting, XML data binding and other
real world code samples.
http://devcenter.infragistics.com/RefApps/Expense/Expense.aspx
http://www.asp.net/community/projects/
Starter kits are a good place to look...
I did do some googling and searching on this site but did not find exactly what I was looking for.
I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction here. I'm an ASP.NET/SQL Server developer and would like to develop a (intially) basic social networking site (gasp). Before I start from scratch with a blank solution in ASP.NET, I'm wondering if there are any frameworks out there ASP.NET specific that would serve as a good starting point. I'm already thinking of using the Google Maps jquery control for my Google Maps integration, as well as the 'sharethis' control for my social networking website sharing integration. Captcha for human authentication... But other than that I'm not sure what I can leverage... Nothing on Google jumped out at me on my search terms.
I'm also wondering if anyone else has done something similar and could share their post mortem/war stories with me.
I'm also open to learning a new platform/language if it would mean saving time - my experience is mostly in ASP.NET, so that is what I plan on using if it makes the most sense. My initial requirements are basic and realistic - profile setup (images, information, etc.), 'group' creation, Google Map integration, calendar controls shared by groups, SMS support, discussion forums among groups, searching for groups, OpenID integration most likely, etc. I am not going to try to build the entire site and then release it, but take baby steps and release pieces of functionality at a time.
Any advice is greatly appreciated for a broad question such as this. Thanks again.
I've found DotNetOpenAuth which seems to be a nice API for handling OpenID for ASP.NET web forms. They also have an ASP.NET MVC version
I also found MS Web Platform. This looks like some good stuff. Anyone ever use it and think it would do well for this sort of app?
I found a library for DotNetNuke called ActiveSocial. It's priced right ($500) and has more than the features I need but lacks some. I wonder if anyone here has ever used AS before. Is DNN easy to extend so I can add Google Maps functionality and such? It doesn't say anywhere on snowcovered (the vendor that sells AS) if AS comes with the source. If it didn't, then I might be screwed because I wouldn't be able to integrate the functionality I want.
I went through this exercise about 15 months ago when I built a SNS for a client. Hoping to find some basic framework for Friends, Chat, Profiles etc I was pretty disappointed.
That said, in retrospect I wish rather than building one that we would have purchased a solution like Community Server. As with most projects I looked at the problem scope with beer, no strike that, ambitious goggles on and the level of work to cover all the edge cases was more than I imagined.
Tread careful my friend, tread careful.
I think this is what you're looking for. Kigg is an open source ASP.NET MVC app that would be a good starting point for what you want. Here is the url: http://www.codeplex.com/Kigg
You can also find a site that is using this here: http://dotnetshoutout.com/
At the very least you will learn the ASP.NET MVC framework which is fantastic.
While not exactly intended to be used for social networking sites, both of these frameworks can help you so you don't have to start from scratch:
DotNetNuke: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/
Umbraco: http://umbraco.org/
Also, for an out of the box solution (no code involved) you could always try this: http://www.ning.com/
Good luck!
