I’m happy to announce the June 2013 release of the Ajax Control Toolkit. For this release, we enhanced the AjaxFileUpload control to support uploading files directly to Windows Azure. We also improved the SlideShow control by adding support for CSS3 animations. You can get the latest release of the Ajax Control Toolkit by visiting the [...] Read More...
I’m excited to announce the April 2013 release of the Ajax Control Toolkit. For this release, we focused on improving two controls: the AjaxFileUpload and the MaskedEdit controls. You can download the latest release from CodePlex at http://AjaxControlToolkit.CodePlex.com or, better yet, you can execute the following NuGet command within Visual Studio 2010/2012: There are three [...] Read More...
Last week Jon Galloway, Damian Edwards and myself (with a raspy throat) were up in Redmond at the Microsoft Campus filming at Microsoft Virtual Academy . They've got a whole studio there so we spent the whole day presenting LIVE. There were several thousand folks watching live and interacting with Very special thanks to Brady Gaster and ASP.NET community members Scott Koon , Peter Mourfield , and Rob Chartier who were furiously handling questions in the chats! Your volunteerism and dedication to the community is deeply appreciated! Let's give them a hand, eh? Jon worked very hard to put together a great day of content based on the successful Web Camps classes we've given all over the world. We took all this and worked to update it...

Last year the ASP.NET start talking about something we've called "One ASP.NET." I showed some mockups of our ideas last summer at the aspConf Keynote that you can watch online . We also announced then that we would add new features to ASP.NET as out of band releases (OOB) without breaking existing functionality. This means that developers don't have to wait for the next version of Visual Studio for great web development features today. We're aiming to add to ASP.NET and Web Tools every 6 months. For those that don't want to wait, Mads and the team also started a feature playground called Web Essentials . This is an extension to Visual Studio that updates all the time with ideas and brainstorms about how VS can be an...
ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 is coming soon , but one of the features of ASP.NET that you can use TODAY is support for Google, Twitter, Microsoft and Facebook logins out of the box with ASP.NET templates. I show how OAuth in ASP.NET works in this 5 minute video . We are also continuing to look at ways to make membership easier in coming versions of ASP.NET like including things like this out of the box. Mozilla has a new identity system called Mozilla Persona that use browserid technology to let users log in to your site without creating a custom login or username. I wanted to see how Persona would work in ASP.NET and hacked up a prototype (with some sanity checking from my buddy Hao Kung). There's some comments and some TODOs, but it's...

I have one word to describe this release and that word is “Charts” – we’ve added lots of great new chart controls to the Ajax Control Toolkit. You can download the new release directly from http://AjaxControlToolkit.CodePlex.com – or, just fire [...] Read More...
I've talked before in presentations that the ASP.NET and Web Tools team has been slowly externalizing pieces of ASP.NET. You've seen it in many pieces of the ASP.NET runtime moving into NuGet while also being open sourced , and you've seen it as we've moved big chunks of the "tooling" (that means the menus and dialogs you interact with in ASP.NET) into external installers. Why are we doing this? Because the Web moves faster than Visual Studio does. We want to be able to offer a stable ASP.NET core that you can count on while being able to offer new and powerful features more often as needed. Visual Studio itself has moved to a faster update model and recently released Visual Studio 2012.1 (that's Visual Studio 2012...

I really enjoy working on and thinking about mobile websites . There's something about making an experience great on a pocket supercomputer phone that is so much more satisfying than a desktop. I actually got this blog looking nice on mobile devices back in 2006 when nobody was mobile except doctors and, well, all of us techies here on the blogs. I've talked about the importance of a good mobile site before in posts like Create a great mobile experience for your website today. Please. However, some folks had asked me if I'd do a post on how to do a combination Desktop and Mobile site using ASP.NET MVC similar to the examples I used in my talks in Russia on mobile earlier this year. (There's video of those ASP.NET mobile presentations...
