Created Release: Navigation 1.6 (Dec 21, 2012)

grahammendick — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 20:15:24 GMT

Navigation for ASP.NET Web Forms manages movement and data passing between ASPX pages in a unit-testable manner. There is no client-side logic, so it works in all browsers, and no server-side cache, so it works with the browser back button.

Comprehensive documentation and sample code can be found under the Documentation tab

New - Added Navigation Data markup for setting Control properties from State Context Data, e.g., Text={NavigationData key}
New - Added support for Display Modes, providing browser-specific view customisation capability

Change - Trim page, masters, theme and path attributes when parsing State Information configuration
Change - Removed HideNoOverride property from ViewSwitcher because Display Modes support rendered it meaningless
Change - Use objects instead of strings for Context Item keys
Change - In .NET 4.5 mobile-specific State Information is subject to Display Mode modification

Fix - Prevented mobile masters and theme being lost across post backs
Fix - HTML5 History support no longer throws an exception when EnablePartialRendering is set to false

Created Release: Navigation 1.5 (Jul 03, 2012)

grahammendick — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 16:30:24 GMT

New - Added support for new 4.5 data binding through the new NavigationData Attribute and ValueProvider classes
New - Added HTML5 History support to history navigation
New - Added defaultTypes for State NavigationData, allowing removal of URL separators
New - Added NavigationDataTrigger so an UpdatePanel can be refreshed when a NavigationData item changes
New - Added HistoryNavigator Control to handle history navigation
New - Added ViewSwitcher Control to allow switching between mobile and desktop views
New - FragmentIdentifier added to NavigationHyperLink, allowing URL # anchors to be specified

Change - Routes registered automatically using PreApplicationStartMethod attribute, so calls to AddStateRoutes must be removed
Change - Pager removes totalRowCount from StateContext Data to avoid it being passed during navigation
Change - Default URL separators changed. To revert back to old separators configure the originalUrlSeparators setting to true

Fix - NavigationDataParameter no longer throws exception if ControlID set but key returned as blank
Fix - Added Href in DesignMode so that NavigationHyperLink is styled correctly in the design view
Fix - Changed Sorter to render supplied Id attribute
Fix - NavigationData item with key containing a crumb trail separator no longer throws exception

Created Release: Navigation 1.4 (Mar 24, 2012)

grahammendick — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 10:33:26 GMT

New - Added default State NavigationData. Supports strongly typed values and routing defaults
New - Added mobile support so can override with mobile-specific page, route, theme and masters
New - ControlID added to NavigationDataParameter allowing for run-time setting of NavigationData item key
New - Added Inert logic to NavigationHyperLink so it can be disabled/styled to indicate that clicking it will have no effect
New - Added Last property to Crumb for use in data binding to CrumbTrailDataSource

Change - Empty strings no longer passed when navigating and replaced with default values if supplied
Change - Missing mandatory route parameters no longer throws NullReferenceException. If navigating it throws InvalidOperationException, if getting a navigation link it returns null

Fix - Checksum validation threw an error when passing an empty string with routing. Fixed by first change listed above

Created Release: Navigation 1.3 (Nov 03, 2011)

grahammendick — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:16:45 GMT

Navigation for ASP.NET Web Forms manages movement and data passing between aspx Pages in a unit testable manner. There is no Client-side logic, so it works in all browsers, and no Server-side cache, so it works with the browser back button.

New - Pager, Sorter and NavigationHyperLink can render so they use refresh Navigation, if javascript is off, and post back, if javascript is on
New - Added dynamic Bag to NavigationData, StateContext and Crumb so can get/set data in more user friendly syntax
New - Added IncludeCurrentData property to NavigationHyperLink, setting to true means the NavigationData will combine ToData with the current StateContext Data

Change - AddHistoryPoint no longer passes StateContext Data by default. For old behaviour call AddHistoryPoint(new NavigationData(true), null)
Change - Renamed RestoreHistoryPoint on StateController to NavigateHistory

Fix - History Navigation did not work with routing or NavigationShield. Changed NavigateHistory so ParseData call matches the one in StateAdapter, catering for both route data and ShieldDecode

Created Release: Navigation 1.2 (Aug 03, 2011)

GrahamMendick — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 12:18:16 GMT

New - Added ASP.NET Routing integration
New - Added NavigationDataExpression for creation of NavigationData in the Designer
New - Can turn off crumb trail tracking for cleaner Urls

Change - Urls are now application absolute, where the application path is used instead of the root operator (~) as consistent with ASP.NET Routed Urls
Change - Pager no longer stores default values in StateContext Data. Must now set a DefaultValue for the maximumRows NavigationDataParameter
Change - NavigationDataSource no longer stores empty strings in StateContext Data for bound control values. For old behaviour set ConvertEmptyStringToNull to false

Fix - For multiple Sorters with Navigate true the SortExpression is now calculated correctly

Updated Release: Navigation 1.1 (May 06, 2011)

GrahamMendick — Fri, 06 May 2011 08:40:38 GMT

New - Added NavigationHyperLink control for easier url navigation
New - Added Pager control so can add paging to any control and paging information remembered by crumb trail
New - Added Sorter control so can add sorting to any control and sort order remembered by crumb trail
New - NavigationDataParameter can reset StateContext Data e.g. pressing a search button can reset paging information

Change - Reduced size of Control State as fixed data (i.e. State, PreviousState, CrumbTrail and ReturnData) no longer stored
Change - Refresh and GetRefreshLink no longer pass StateContext Data by default. For old behaviour call Refresh(new NavigationData(true)) and GetRefreshLink(new NavigationData(true))
Change - NavigationDataSource control responds to changes to its SelectParameters

Fix - For an invalid PreviousStateKey PreviousState/Dialog on StateContext return null instead of throwing Exception
Fix - StateAdapter sets the StateKey to null when invalid
Fix - SessionCrumbTrailPersister no longer incorrectly generates same key, which was possible if multiple successive mock navigations performed
Fix - Always clear StateContext Data when restoring a history point to remove the values loaded from the latest Control State
