Killaloo MVC Library

This is a collection of classes from ASP.NET MVC projects that I've built. Use them as you like!

RssActionResult

This renders an RSS 2.0 feed using classes from WCF:

public RssActionResult Rss()
{
	var feed = new SyndicationFeed("Name of feed",
								   "Description of feed",
								   new Uri(Request.Url.ToString()),
								   "ID for feed",
								   DateTime.Now)
	{
		Items = GetListOfItems()
	};

	return new RssActionResult { Feed = feed };
}

AtomActionResult

Use this in a similar way to RssActionResult to create an Atom feed.

JsonActionResult

Uses the JSON.NET library to serialize and render an object as JSON. It works best with a list of POCOs:

public JsonActionResult Json()
{
	List<Incident> listOfItems = GetListOfItems();

	return new JsonActionResult { ObjectToSerialize = listOfItems, FormatResult = true};
}

FormatResult is optional and enables/disables pretty printing of the JSON result for easier debugging.

OpenLayersActionResult

OpenLayers supports the ability to plot points to a layer on a map from a tab delimited text file. This custom action result helps render that file:

public OpenLayersActionResult MapData()
{
    var myPoints = new List<MapPoint>();

    var p = new MapPoint
                {
                    Title = "Title for point on the map",
                    Icon = "marker.png",
                    IconSize = "21,25",
                    LatLon = "12.9715987,77.5945627",
                    Description = "This is the long description for a point on the map"
    };

    myPoints.Add(p);

    return new OpenLayersActionResult { Points = myPoints };
}

In your map you need to specify the relative output URL for the result using the URL property:

var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Layer Name Here", {
	strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX({ resFactor: 1.1 })],
	protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({
		url: "/mapdata/",
		format: new OpenLayers.Format.Text()
	})
});
map.addLayers([wms, layer]); // Map and your overlay
