I’m reading through the archives of a blog where the author posts something random every Friday (yesterday was Thursday, and tomorrow is Saturday). His Friday posts are completely unrelated to the main theme and content of his blog. I like that idea a lot. I don’t blog as much as I used to mostly because I feel the need to spend so much time on each blog post. A lot of the posts I write take a bit of research and experimentation before I’m ready to post them. But a random thought? I can pull one of those out of my ascot any day of the week, and twice on Friday. But I’ll only do it once. And yes, thanks for asking, but the thought has occurred to me that I already have another medium where I post random thoughts 7 days a week, Twitter (I’m @haacked...

The goal of this blog entry is to explain how you can extend the Ajax Control Toolkit with custom Ajax Control Toolkit controls. I describe how you can create the two halves of an Ajax Control Toolkit control: the server-side control extender and the client-side control behavior. Finally, I explain how you can use the new Ajax Control Toolkit control in a Web Forms page. At the end of this blog entry, there is a link to download a Visual Studio 2010 solution which contains the code for two Ajax Control Toolkit controls: SampleExtender and PopupHelpExtender. The SampleExtender contains the minimum skeleton for creating a new Ajax Control Toolkit control. You can use the SampleExtender as a starting point for your custom Ajax Control Toolkit controls...

When you build an ASP.NET MVC 3 application and are ready to deploy it to your hosting provider, there are a set of assemblies you’ll need to include with your application for it to run properly, unless they are already installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) on the server. In previous versions of ASP.NET MVC, this set of assemblies was rather small. In fact, it was only one assembly, System.Web.Mvc.dll, though in the case of ASP.NET MVC 1.0, if you didn’t have SP1 of .NET 3.5 installed, you would have also needed to deploy System.Web.Abstractions.dll and System.Web.Routing.dll . But ASP.NET MVC 3 makes use of technology shared with the new ASP.NET Web Pages product such as Razor. If you’re not familiar with ASP.NET Web Pages and how it...

There are several books worth of information to be said about Internationalization (i18n) out there, so I can't solve it all in a blog post. Even 9 pages of blog posts . I like to call it Iñtërnâtiônàlizætiøn , actually. There's a couple of basic things to understand though, before you create a multilingual ASP.NET application. Let's agree on some basic definitions as these terms are often used interchangeably. Internationalization (i18n) - Making your application able to support a range of languages and locales Localization (L10n) - Making your application support a specific language/locale. Globalization - The combination of Internationalization and Localization Language - For example, Spanish generally. ISO code "es"...
