Yonkly Source Code

May 29, 2008

[UPDATE] Source code is now available in codeplex at http://www.codeplex.com/yonkly

I apologize for the delay of releasing the source code for Yonkly (the twitter clone).

The code is still not 100% ready but I have received so many requests for the source code and figured it is better to put something online until I clean it up than wait until I reach perfection (a moving target).

In the near future, the source code will be in a code sharing site for all to contribute and play with. We are currently using assembla and will open it up to the public very soon.

In the meantime, here is a fully functioning project that I just converted to Preview 3 this morning (so you might run into some issues). Get it here and read the included readme file.

Also, I would like to thank Justine for making this possible.

@Vyrotek: I am not sure what is causing that. The project file was upgraded to the latest version of MVC, so that might be the problem. You might want to try and create a new empty project and copy the yonkly files into it... Anyway, let us know how you end up fixing it.

Ah ha! So, out of habit (Im at work doing Asp.net stuff) I opened it doing File-Open-OpenWebsite instead of clicking the darn proj file! Works fine now :)

The project looks great. I've already learned some new things!

Hi,

I am new in vs.net, when I tried to open the project , I got " the project type is not supported for this installation". I am using vs.net express 2008. Do I need to use the paid copy of vs.net?

Thanks

@david: I believe that you can use express with mvc project but you will have to install the mvc framework preview 3 which should install the project templates and then you will be able to open it. Here are some links I found that might help you:

Hi,

I really need help on how to incoporate the Ajax control toolkit into yonkly. I have spent many days but can't get it work on top of the current yonkly pages. Any suggestion or comments are really appreciated.

Thanks

@david I haven't done anywork with ajax control toolkit and mvc, so I am not sure I can help you. I decided to do all my javascript and ajax using the jQuery library because I found it really easy to use and light weight. It does require more knowledge of JavaScript compared to the toolkit where you just create an update panel and you are done.

I highly recommend looking at www.jquery.com and look at yonkly's source code and javascript to see how i do ajax. there is a ton of material out there.

If you do figure it out, please come back and tell us about it. Thanks and good luck.

I must agree. Using jquery with Asp.net MVC is pretty dang slick and easy. Especially since your controllers are basically REST services now. Now with the built in JsonResult view its REALLY easy to make these service calls return to your objects serialized to json.

@king you need to install asp.net mvc on your machine, visit www.asp.net/mvc for more information.

@king I also forgot to mention a few more things. asp.net is different than php. it's not a script. you need to compile it using visual studio. You can get a free version of visual studio from http://www.microsoft.com/Express/. If you have never worked with asp.net then check out http://msdn.microsoft.com and http://asp.net for somet getting started information... Sorry man, this is still early in development so there is no easy way to install it.

I am frequent twitter user and I come across this yonkly and it raising up my interest on exploring on this open source. Will have a try on it and probably get to know more about ASP.NET MVC from here.

@king, it is better to wait for final release of MVC before you purchased any windows hosting. Just what I thought.
