Since I started Angular development (coming from a Microsoft background), I’m constantly struggling how to host my Angular applications. All of my applications are hosted on Windows Azure, so it makes sense to host my Angular app there as well. You can simply create an ASP.NET web application and add Angular to it (see https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/visual-studio-2015.html),…
In my previous Ionic (1.3) apps I used Font Awesome as an icon set, but in Ionic 2 a lot has changed. The gulp script I used for it is gone and the build process is defined in the npm packages. You can read more about it on https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-app-scripts Here’s how to do it in…
While working on my new app theme for Ionic framework 2, based on Angular 2, I needed a show-hide component for a password input field. It’s basically an input field with a button that will change the type of the input from password to text and back. Something like this. You could do this by…
In this post I want to share my experiences on error logging in an Ionic Framework App. By default Ionic/Angular is writing exceptions to the console of your browser, but what if you deployed your app to the app store and people start using it on their devices… Maybe you write bugfree code, but it…
Last weeks I’ve been struggling to build an Ionic app with push notifications. There is some documentation about it and some blogs by Holly Schinsky: http://devgirl.org/2014/12/16/push-notifications-sample-app-with-ionic-and-ngcordova/ but it still took me quite some time to get it working on my iPhone. In this blog I want to share my findings and create a most basic…
For one of my projects I wanted to do some daily checks and send the results by email to me and some colleagues. Of course this can be done by creating a worker role, but there is another (easier) way, by using Windows Azure Mobile Services. This way you don’t have to deploy anything, just…
Finally I could find some inspiration for creating the Artisteer ASP.NET MVC 4 plugin. It actually wasn’t that much work, but I have a job to do as well 😉 If you don’t know Artisteer or need to install it you can click the banner below. To install the plugin you should use Artisteer 4.0…
Currently I’m working on a project where we’re sending emails using Amazon Simple Email Service. Some of these emails contain inline html images, but as stated by Amazon, this isn’t supported: Amazon SES currently does not support data URIs in the message body. The service rejects messages containing embedded data URIs with an Illegal Content…
Finally Artisteer invested some time in making they’re designs exportable to more platforms or actually they give you the possiblity to write custom export plugins. It will be available in version 4.0, that’s still in beta but you could download it and start writing plugins. Download Artisteer 4.0 Beta or click the banner below By…
I love Artisteer for designing my web pages and used it a lot for the ASP.NET applications I worked on. Artisteer can export the design into a C# project and is relatively cheap! The problem is I moved on to the ASP.NET MVC3 framework (like a lot of ASP.NET developers I guess) and that’s not…
