Suggestion of the week
Suggestion of the weekA family of Open Source projects, each with one goal - To enable great .NET development in YOUR editor of choice.Less than two minutes after, I was running across my house....
SO I decide to give it a try in one of my favorite text editors this time called Atom.
Chocolatey NuGet is a Machine Package Manager, somewhat like apt-get, but built with Windows in mind.Assuming that you don't have Chocolatey installed, let's start by that. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) as Administrator, and execute this command:
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bincinst Atomcinst Gitapm install language-csharp

{
var myBook = new Book{Title="Get Started with OmniSharp"};
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Here is my review of: {0}", myBook.Title));
}
}
public class Book
{
private string _review;
public string Title{get;set;}
public string Review{
get{
if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(_review))
{
_review = "This book is nice";
}
return _review;

return View("Index");@Html.ActionLink("Delete Dinner", "Delete", "Dinners", new { id = Model.DinnerID }, null)Install-Package T4MVC. By doing this a T4 file (T4MVC.tt) will be added to your project that will generates a number of files. These generated files will simplify your life and gives you the opportunity to code using strongly type.// Before ----------------
return View("Index");
// After with T4MVC
return View(Views.Index);// Before ----------------
@Html.ActionLink("Delete Product", "Delete", "Products", new { id = Model.ProductID }, null)
// After with T4MVC
@Html.ActionLink("Delete Product", MVC.Products.Delete(Model.ProductID))// Before ----------------
<%= Ajax.ActionLink( "RSVP for this event",
"Register", "RSVP",
new { id=Model.DinnerID },
