  1. Support for WebAPI OData $expand

    $expand is missing from WebAPI OData. Please add this common sense functionality. I love the idea of WebAPI from Microsoft, but seriously? You want the client to make multiple calls to get the same data it can get in one call...lame.

          • Nuget needs Uninstallation feature

            Nuget package manager installs quickly and the cleanup when the package is not needed any more becomes cumbersome if the installed package has done a lot of configuration changes in the config files. A better and cleaner way of doing uninstall is required.

            • Move @model directive to System.Web.Razor dll

              Every implementation that uses System.Web.Razor for their own rendering needs ends up reimplementing or copying over the code to support the @model directive from the ASP.NET MVC project. The tooling additionally requires a reference to System.Web.Mvc in order to work, even if it's not an MVC project.

              • Please, share how to upload files larger then 2GB (without splitting) on IIS 8.0 using ASP.NET 4.5?

                I'm using ASP.NET 4.5 application running on IIS 8 (Windows 8 RTM x64). Settings in Web.config are following:

                <httpRuntime executionTimeout="2400" maxRequestLength="2147483647" />
                ...
                <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="4147483648"/>

                Pipeline mode is "Integrated". Then I'm using the latest function in ASP.NET 4.5 to disable the request-length limit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh195568.aspx

                Here is what I'm getting:

                PUT http://localhost:8090/000006.vmdk HTTP/1.1
                If: (<opaquelocktoken:1af32bcf-299d-421f-ba6c-aa99ffd9e9b5>)
                Content-Length: 3881500672

                400 Bad Request
                http://localhost:8090/000006.vmdk
                Connection: close
                Content-Length: 0
                Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:00:34 GMT
                Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0
                X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

                Files over 2 GB can not be uploaded on this site. Is it possible at all and how?

                  • Add/remove break points in each methods of a class or file

                    Is it possible to add/remove break points in each methods of a class or file in single click. If so then it will be very beneficial for those who want to modify existing code and want to know the flow of an Application.

                    Thanks.

                      • Web optimization suggestion

                        I saw a video that briefly talked about asp.net web optimization. The way the guys have built my website, there is javascript file that has the same name as the aspx. And there is a shared javascript file that is shared across different aspx pages. Is it possible at compile time for the compiler to see that only 1 function from the shared javascript file is used and to only send down that javascript file? Our shared javascript files are huge and depending on the page, many functions may never even be called. Some people never even go to the…

                        • Enable more granular control over ScriptBundle transform execution

                          Allow more granular control for configuring which transforms and optimizations occur for a bundle that is not dependent solely on Debug or Release configurations.

                          This would allow bundles to have transforms that could run regardless of configuration state if the developer chooses, or based on other logic conditions.

                          Possible usage: replace a token in a script representing a URL for AJAX calls with an AppSetting value that changes per build configuration (e.g., a separate URL for Development/QA/Production environments).

                          Possible usage: control error messaging levels in script files in a more granular fashion.

                              • Bundling and minification Syntax in Asp-net 4.5

                                In the comments to http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2011/11/27/new-bundling-and-minification-support-asp-net-4-5-series.aspx

                                it was pointed out , that from proposed syntax is not obvious ,that server processing is invoked.

                                <link href="styles/css" rel="Stylesheet"/>

                                <script src="scripts/js" />

                                To highlight the server processing is involved:

                                1. runat="server" should be added

                                2. as well as name of the parameter should be explicit

                                <link bundle="styles/*.css" rel="Stylesheet" runat="server" />

                                < script bundle="scriptst/*.js" runat="server" />

                                < script bundle="customBundle" runat="server" />

                                  The cue to the server for server side processing in Web optimization doesn’t come from looking at the raw HTML markup. In the case of MVC/Web pages, it comes from the Razor helper methods; in the case of Web Forms, it comes from the server control declarations (which would have runat=‘server’ attributes). However, even in the case of Web forms, bundle declaration/configuration is external to the server control – it is specified either in code (BundleConfig.cs) or in XML (Bundle.config) and simply referenced by the individual page.

                                      Same for AsyncController, ApiController need a AsyncApiController.

                                        You can a actually implement Task-based async actions on an ApiController, so there really is no need for a separate AsyncApiController. The entire Web API stack is inherantly async. Also as of MVC 4 you no longer need to use the AsyncController in MVC, the normal controller class now supports Async.

                                      • Catch more than one exception in catch block

                                        hi guys,

                                        There should be an ability to catch multiple exceptions in catch block rather more than one catch. May be i just want to show a single message rather than specified messages for each exception. e.g.

                                        Catch(NullRefernceexception || Filenotfoundexception || anyother exeption ex)
                                        {
                                        //Do something here
                                        }
                                        Please not i just used exception names just for the sake of example.
