Theming ServiceStack Razor Views

June 24, 2013 / Matt C. / .NET, ASP.NET MVC, REST

In this post, we look at adding theming capabilities to the ServiceStack Razor View engine. Source and live demo are included. This post is third in a series investigating ways to leverage ServiceStack in building a RESTful API and UI from a database. The main objective for this new theming capability is to allow easy development of new themes on top of the ServiceStack Razor view engine, with fallback capability to the default theme for views, content pages, master pages and layouts that don’t require specific theming.

RESTful Api and UI for Typed Views and Typed Lists with LLBLGen and ServiceStack

May 11, 2013 / Matt C. / .NET, ASP.NET MVC, REST

In this post, we extend the implementation described in the prior post to include generating an HTML UI and RESTful Api on top of LLBLGen Typed Views and Typed Lists, leveraging the ServiceStack web service and razor framework. The api provides paging, sorting, filtering – source is hosted on GitHub, and a demo is included as well.

Generating a fully RESTful Api and UI from a database with LLBLGen and ServiceStack (templates on Github and Demo)

March 10, 2013 / Matt C. / .NET, ASP.NET MVC, REST

In this post, we're going to explore building a generic RESTful api on top of a database with custom CRUD and query conventions, using the LLBLGen ORM and code generator, a ServiceStack service layer, and ServiceStack Razor html entity browser layer. This API and html entity browser can be generated on top of any database that LLBLGen supports (see here for supported database drivers).

Building a Web API in SharePoint 2010 with ServiceStack

May 4, 2012 / Matt C. / .NET, SharePoint

Recently, while building a custom service application in SharePoint, I was exploring various ways of creating a web API, hosted within SharePoint. Obviously, using WCF is the standard in SharePoint, but it certainly is not the only way. In this post we will create the barebone essentials for building out a web service API, hosted within SharePoint 2010, using ServiceStack.
