Castle Generator now on Castle trunk

A couple of weeks ago the Generator project was voted to be moved from the contrib repo to Castle main trunk. I’m ambivalent about this. Initialy I was happy to find lots of great people finding it usefull. Then, when I realised that I had lost control of the projet, I was frustrated. I know [...]

Ajax Scaffolding with Castle Generator

Dan Bunea created an generator for Ajax Scaffolding, check out the step by step instructions on his excellent blog, Becoming Agile.
Wow!

Live coding revisited

I previously bloged about a script that enabled automatic rebuild and restart of the web server on change of the source files. The script was working great, but sometimes some strange errors start poping out.
Thanks to Nick Hemsley who submited a patch that uses FileSystemWatcher, we now get much better results!
I refactored the script a [...]

Installing and using the Generator

A new script has been added to the generator. Now, to install, all you have to do is:

svn co http://svn.castleproject.org:8080/svn/castle/trunk/Tools/Generator
cd generator
nant install

and then you can type from your command line generate or monorail to get help and usage.
Have fun!

Live coding with MonoRail

In my constant quest to bring Castle MonoRail closer to Ruby on Rails development style, one of the thing that kept me from choosing MonoRail over Rails for fun and pleasure was the code-compile-refresh process. Because we’re working in the static compiled world, a usual scenario looks like this.

Add or remove some code
Compile from the [...]

Generator project moved to Castle

Thanks to hammett, my code generator project has been accepted as a Castle contrib project. Everything is still the same but you now have to checkout the code from http://svn.castleproject.org/svn/castlecontrib/generator/trunk/.
By the way I’d like to say thanks to Carlos, Tanner, Peter and Kevin for their help and support.

Getting MonoRail closer to Rails again

In a previous post I’ve bloged about the scaffold generator for Castle MonoRail. And now it’s time for the fully-packed-turbo-ultra-cool MonoRail project generator. Just type generate project MyProject (or make a link for monorail like in the vid).
Some people won’t like the directory structure I’ve used, which is inspired by Rails ratter then by Visual [...]

Code generation and scaffolding

With all the respect that I have for the Castle projects and team members, their are two things I don’t like about the projects.
- Visual Studio Integration rather then a command line tool
- The scaffolding
So instead of complaining, here’s what I’ve done: The Generator, mouhaha! :
To compile and run:
1. Run svn co http://svn.castleproject.org/svn/castlecontrib/generator/trunk
2. Run nant [...]
