IDisposable Part 3 – Encapsulating an IDisposable class
For part 3 of my series on IDisposable, I’m going to focus on ownership of other IDisposable resources. In this series, we’re going to build on our LicenseAGenerator class from Part 2, encapsulating inside of a class which will use it repeatedly.
ASP.NET MVC
A couple of days ago I went to the Bellingham .NET Users Group event for April. Jonathan Carter, the technical evangelist for ASP.NET MVC did the talk for the evening, and I must say, it was quite interesting.
Now, personally, I am not a “web guy.†I do nearly all of my development on the desktop, and most of my experience with web development has been using the LAMP stack, mostly via PHP.

That being said, I was pleasantly surprised with ASP.NET MVC. The routing mechanism that’s core to the framework is very elegant. It does seem obvious to me that Microsoft is borrowing ideas from the Ruby on Rails folks with this – it’s a pretty far departure from the previous means of developing using ASP.NET.
