At the end of the year, it’s very common for bloggers to take a look back at their own blog and list their favorite 10 blog posts. I find that somewhat narcissistic, so you know I’m going to do that. But before I do, I thought it would be great to list the top 10 blog posts by others I read in 2008. The only problem is, I have very bad short-term memory and I can’t seem to remember which ones I read that had a real impact on my thinking. I’ll have to try and keep better track in 2009. So based on a cursory Google search and look through my Google Reader app, here are some of my favorite blog posts of 2008 by you all, I couldn’t even list 10. Please do comment with your own favorite blog posts, mine or otherwise of 2008. Favorite Posts I Read...

There was an update to the .NET 3.5 SP1 release a couple of days ago and I have not seen a lot of mention to it so thought I would write a blog post and talk about how this update affects ASP.NET. First off you can search for KB959209 in the Microsoft knowledge base for details on this update. Here is the direct URL to the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959209 . This update corrects the following issues that may affect an ASP.NET developer that has .NET 3.5 SP1 installed: - Dynamic Data used with Entity Framework generates an error when navigating one to one relationships - BrowserCaps generates an error if Front Page Server extensions are installed. - Using a derived UpdateProgress control may encounter an exception. - An exception...

At PDC 2008 in LA and TechEd EMEA 2008 in Barcelona we announced key new features for Visual Studio 2010 for Web Developers... Apart from our focus on MVC, Dynamic Data, Silverlight and other key ASP.NET runtime functionality, this was the first time we announced the key investments pillars for Web Developers in VS 2010 ... Over the next year or so we will be writing in details about these new features, but to start off I thought it would be great to share various videos which are available to view online today ... Visual Studio 2010 - Web Development Overview In this talk we provided the glimpse of the major investment areas in VS 2010. The talk is divided into following key areas Design View - Improved CSS 2...

Dmitry , who’s the PUM for ASP.NET, recently wrote a blog post about an interesting approach he took using VB.NET XML Literals as a view engine for ASP.NET MVC. Now before you VB haters dismiss this blog post and leave, bear with me for just a second. Dmitry and I had a conversation one day and he noted that there are a lot of similarities between our view engine hierarchy and and normal class hierarchies. For example, a master page is not unlike a base class. Content placeholders within a master page are similar to abstract methods. Content placeholders with default content are like virtual methods. And so on… So he thought it would be interesting to have a class be a view rather than a template file, and put together this VB demo. One thing...

If you’ve been doing some script development in Visual Studio and Firebug, you may have experienced something like this: Notice how all resources take more than a second to load? Loading of scripts being sequential doesn’t help either. And of course, the more scripts you have on the page, the worse it gets. I’ve seen fairly simple pages take around 15 seconds to load because of this bug. I’m not quite sure where that bug comes from, but the good news is I have two solutions for you. First, you can configure Visual Studio to use IIS (when you do “new web site”, choose HTTP as the location, then “local IIS”). But the easiest is just to replace “localhost” in the browser address bar with “127.0.0.1”. Here’s the performance of the same page as above...

Wally McClure, MVP extraordinaire and ASP Insider, just published a short book about the new features in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 . It is a short and to the point read that should get you started in no time. I wouldn’t have shown web service access as the main advantage of jQuery myself (the selector and animation support adds more value for ASP.NET Ajax developers) but that’s a minor thing, and there are plenty of other resources to learn about jQuery . Topics in Wally’s book include: Ajax History Script Combining (including ScriptReferenceProfiler) jQuery Routing Entity Framework Dynamic Data ADO.NET Data Services http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTitle/New-Features-in-ASP-NET-3-5-Service-Pack-1.productCd-0470457341.html Read More...
