Billy
thank you enough for making this available to the community! I'm
looking forward to digging into the code over the holidays and
announcing it's availability to a wider audience as well.

This is pretty impressive. Thanks a lot for taking the initiative. I
will definitely try to find some free time in January to dig through
this and learn how a proper team uses S# and other techs to build a
solid web app.
Cheers,

And which is the most important I really need the tutorial-like
description of how this project was created, if it's possible: what
comes first, what second etc...
It would be great! ))

the code.
I have a question about the Spark View Engine. Is there a way to get
the design view in Visual Studio to work with the .spark files? I
haven't found anything when I googled it. If not, how do you and your
team get WYSIWYG when developing the user interface?
Thanks!

MrTea
for S#arp Architecture and general good practice.
One thing that stands out to me is in the domain layer, where in
addition to the usual entities, there are "value objects" which
actually seem to be more akin to "commands" e.g.
"CreateProfileDetails".
I'd be interested in reading more about your approach to this. It
seems to me that a decision was taken to explicitly represent certain
actions (another is "AddAssertionDetails") as specific domain objects,
which are eventually mapped to entities (in the tasks layer).
I have wrestled with issues around mapping "form view models" to
single entities before now (it quickly becomes very complicated) and
this looks like a convenience object to make this mapping easier with
a kind of intermediate object (which is promoted to the domain layer
e.g."CreateProfileDetails").

Jon

Thank you very much for your community contribution.
Over the past week and a half I've been diving into the code, and I
love what I see. There are a lot of great practices that you've
implemented.
I like it so much that I've began to adapt my current production app
according to WCHM.
Hopefully when Billy reviews it we can get an idea of whether this can
get an "official" blessing as a sample app.
Among some discussion points, I would be interested in more details on
your handling of the Model - the generic Linq Repository pattern, the
Specification query pattern, and (as MrTea mentions above) the
"command DTO" setup being used.
Should discussion on WCHM take place on this SA mailing list, or on
the Codeplex project page? (And have you considered switching to
GitHub? :P )
Thanks again for the awesome work, and please keep it coming!
Best regards,
Martin

What is the purpose of having an interface contract for the Mapper classes that serve as the viewmodel for the controller?

If I am not mistaken, I believe the mappers are interface contracts so
that they can be registered
(Controllers.Registrars.MapperRegistrar.cs) to the Windsor container,
and thereby can have their dependencies injected/resolved.

Couldn't we do that directly to the ViewModel class themselves?

There are some other ways to handle the mappings though which I blogged about here (but I still created the interfaces so I could use the common service locator to satisfy dependencies): http://www.lucisferre.net/post/2009/12/31/Graphite-Update-The-AutoMapFilter-for-Model-e280933e-ViewModel-mapping.aspx. I did this because I didn't want my Controllers to have too many dependencies on different mappers. You could also use a "Task" or Service class to separate the mappers from the Controller, but that might be overkill.
I also have a GenericMapper<,> which is registered to IMapper<,> so I don't always need to write a custom mapper class/interface unless I want to customize the default AutoMapper behavior. I believe Howard already added this to WCHM http://whocanhelpme.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=9834.

Looks like they added HTTP and HTTPS access recently.
James
Yeah - that should have been the answer but at the time the version of
MSysGit didn't support the use of https (something to do with the
version of CURL) and during development we wanted the code to be a
private repository which meant https.
This may have all chaned now of course but at the time we ran out of
options. Maybe something to consider in the future.
Cheers

I'm having a bit of a problem with running the Analytics and News
templates in WhoCanHelpMe.Infrastructure. I don't know if I should ask
you or somebody at the CSD forum so I hope you forgive.
I get the following error:
Failed to resolve include text for
file:ConfigurationSectionDesignerCode.tt
C:\src\web\WhoCanHelpMe\Main\Solutions\WhoCanHelpMe.Infrastructure
\Analytics\Configuration\AnalyticsConfigurationSectionCode.tt
I also get this error:
An Exception was thrown while processing a directive named
'ConfigurationSectionDesigner'. The transformation will not be run.
The following Exception was thrown:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to locate file
File name: 'C:\src\web\WhoCanHelpMe\Main\Solutions

Is there anything else I have to install or is there a specific order

Expression edition? Also, can I use the IDE development server to run
the web site instead of IIS server?
