JQuery and ASP.NET MVC

Where have I been? ;) You probably heard the news already form the GU already, but just in case, we will be shipping JQuery with Visual Studio . ASP.NET MVC will have the privilege of being one of the first products to include JQuery. I am glad we finally announced this because I got tired of stifling my mouth everytime someone suggested we just include JQuery. :) As you can see from demos I've done in the past , JQuery will fit nicely with the ASP.NET MVC style of development.

Currently in Japan with No Consistent Internet Access

The internet access I had at my mother-in-law's last time I was in Japan turned out to be a fluke. I am at a Japanese Manga and Internet cafe (because those three things go so well together) right now typing this out. I've received a lot of comments and questions via my blog and once I get to Hong Kong, I will do my best to answer. No promises though as I hear that the pool at the hotel is nice and I do have three talks to prepare. I must admit that not having daily internet access is probably a good thing for me as I'm a total online junkie. :) The next time we visit, I need to remember to bring more reading material. I brought two books on Poker and am tired of reading about it. ;) Read More...

Swedish Screen casts of debugging labs and visual studio test

I know that perhaps not that many of you know Swedish, but for those of you who do, you might want to check out Michael Deurell’s nice screen casts about how to use visual studio test system to troubleshoot the issues in the buggybits labs along with some windbg fun…  His screen casts are called “Fräschast i Bandhagen”, just love that name (unfortunately doesn’t translate that well to English:)) http://blogs.msdn.com/deurell/archive/2008/09/30/debugga-i-produktion-eller-testa-bort-i-utveckligsfas.aspx Laters, Tess Read More...

Simple Introduction to Extensible Applications with the Managed Extensions Framework

Recently my team has been working on the Managed Extensions Framework (MEF)... I have gotten a chance to explain the concept to folks and I think I have discovered a way to talk about MEF that folks can easily get. So I thought I'd spend a little time walking through a *very* simple MEF example as a way to introduce folks to the power of extensible applications in general, and MEF in particular. BTW, you can download the current MEF CTP and the final working sample . Background Let's start with the most simple example: Hello World! 1: using System; 2: 3: class Program 4: { 5: public void Run() 6: { 7: Console.WriteLine( "Hello World!" ); 8: Console.ReadKey(); 9: } 10: static void Main( string [] args) 11: { 12: Program p =...

jQuery now officially part of the .NET developer’s toolbox

You may have read that from John Resig or Scott Guthrie . I’m very excited to announce that Microsoft has decided to ship, adopt and support using jQuery on top of ASP.NET. This may come as a surprise to some of you but I hope you’ll agree with me that it makes total sense. jQuery is a fantastic JavaScript library that focuses on DOM querying and manipulation, whereas the Microsoft Ajax Library focuses on building reusable components and interacting with ASP.NET web services. A lot has been written already on this new partnership so I’ll just go ahead and show some code that hopefully will show how great jQuery and ASP.NET AJAX work together. As my first piece of code using both frameworks, I’ve built a very simple plug-in for jQuery that instantiates...

CSLA.NET Comes to Silverlight

Updated ExpandoHeaderControl sample for RC0

Here is the updated control sample for RC0. Just a few changes from Beta 2 - RCO: generic.xaml needs to now be in a folder called "themes" (case sensitive) rather than in the root of your project. In VSM transition declarations "Duration" has been renamed to "GeneratedDuration" So porting was easy. If you want to play with this, definitely load it up in Blend and check out the great new VSM support as well. It make re-templating MUCH easier and I had some fun creating weird collapse effects (not included). Read More...

jQuery to ship with ASP.NET MVC and Visual Studio

I've done a series of four podcasts dedicated to JavaScript over the last month. Why? Because of this rockin' sweet announcement: Microsoft is going to make jQuery part of the official dev platform. JQuery will come with Visual Studio in the long term, and in the short term it'll ship with ASP.NET MVC. We'll also ship a version includes Intellisense in Visual Studio. The Announcement Blog Posts ScottGu on the jQuery/Microsoft goodness John Resig on the jQuery/Microsoft announcement This is cool because we're using jQuery just as it is. It's Open Source, and we'll use it and ship it via its MIT license, unchanged. If there's changes we want, we'll submit a patch just like anyone else. JQuery will also have...
