Using Microsoft OAuth Identity provider with IIS Express

October 2, 2013 /0 Comments/in , /by

Shouldn’t be any problem right? Facebook apps allows you to specify localhost for the callback/redirect url. Sweet! But microsoft doesn’t! So this is what I did. I created a new application https://account.live.com/developers/applications/create and specified kingen.se as redirect domain. I added a DNS record to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts that routes 127.0.0.1 to kingen.se. I changed the site binding in %Documents%\IISExpress\config\applicationHost.config […]

August 20, 2013 /0 Comments/in /by

I really think these two frameworks don’t mesh together too well and this blog post is me trying to explain why.

What I basically needed to do was to remove the machine check for the Dell 5530 Windows 7 driver installer for E6400 http://downloads.dell.com/comm/R251153.exe.

Anywho, one of the things I tried out was SignalR which is a .net library for building real-time, multi-user interactive web applications. To goal was to build […]

I read about mvc 4 and decided to try out some of the new cool mobile features, so I went ahead and installed it, it installs side-by-side with mvc 3 so that’s nice. It comes with a new mobile application project template that uses jquery mobile which looks pretty good but since I want to […]
