A few people have said that they have noticed problems the new iPhone/iPad Google Chrome apps as well as trouble with applications that use hosted Safari inside of UIWebView (which is what Chrome is). If you're using FormsAuthentication (in WebForms or MVC, doesn't matter) then Google Chrome for iOS might switch FormsAuth to Cookieless mode, which sucks for everyone. This has been fixed in .NET 4.5 and you won't see this problem if you have .NET 4.5 installed, even if you're running a .NET 4 application. For example, Bing.com is running .NET 4 applications under .NET 4.5 RC and wouldn't see this. If you install 4.5 (now or later) ASP.NET will always assume clients support cookies. If you want to tell ASP.NET 4.0 or earlier...
Browser version numbers continue to march on. IE9 is here, IE10 is coming , Firefox 5 and 6 are here with 7 and 8 in the wings , Opera's on 11, and Chrome is on, I dunno, somewhere between 14 and 50. Regardless, we'll all be on version 99 before The Singularity. There is a bug in the browser definition files that shipped with .NET 2.0 and .NET 4, namely that they contain definitions for a certain range of browser versions. But the versions for some browsers (like IE 10) aren't within those ranges any more. Therefore, ASP.NET sees them as unknown browsers and defaults to a down-level definition, which has certain inconveniences, like that it does not support features like JavaScript. If you want to see this for yourself, create a...
It's a holiday miracle! OK, maybe not a miracle, but folks have been working hard on Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. The BETA was released today. See how BETA is in RED? That's because it's a beta . Funny thing about beta service packs. They are Service Packs so there are lots of good bug fixes. But it's beta , which means we, Dear Reader, are not sure if they've missed some. It's beta software, so be careful. Back things up, maybe take a disk image. There is a go-live license, which means you can use this software today and use it in production. Upgrading from SP1 Beta to SP1 "final" will be one step. If you hate betas, feel overwhelmed, don't like being on the cutting edge and don't want obscure...
Joe Lowrance said, er tweeted, it best when he said , "the amount of attention ELMAH hasn't got is shocking." ELMAH is one of those largely unknown and deeply awesome .NET Open Source projects that should be part of ASP.NET proper. What is ELMAH? I like to say that ELMAH is Tivo for your ASP.NET Errors . You can get your Yellow Screens of Death, with full call-stack back and analyze what's really happening. It's Exception Driven Development . What's it really do? Once ELMAH has been dropped into a running web application and configured appropriately, you get the following facilites without changing a single line of your code: Logging of nearly all unhandled exceptions. A web page to remotely view the entire log of recoded...
