Here’s a piece of information that will hopefully save you the time I spent on trying to figure it out… asp.net mvc parameter binding is localizable ONLY in the case of POST form action.

Although its purpose is rather to serve a development database storage, its also possible to use it in a production. Unfortunately using it in, for instance, Click-Once deployed application generates some strange problems. One of those mystery problems I faced recently.

It has been around for a while, but I never spent too much time with it until recently, when pluralsight released a free training that included knockout. My impressions – this is definitely something I could utilize in quite a few places, but it carries a pretty big startup cost, so I’d think hard before using it in a project.

To calculate it, you can create a tool in c# (I even did that, but.. I lost it when my drive crashed) or you can use python.
