SCREENCAST: Managing Browser History Using Client Script Without ScriptManager

Public Sector Developer Weblog : AJAX — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 23:18:06 GMT

NOTE: This was cross posted from here . ASP.NET Ajax has a great feature that helps make it easy to enable back/forward button and bookmarking support in your Ajax applications. However, most people think you need ASP.NET WebForms and the ScriptManager control to take advantage of this feature. Furthermore, most people think you actually have to be using ASP.NET to take advantage of these capabilities. You don’t. There’s a walkthrough on MSDN showing how to use this capability purely from client side BLOCKED SCRIPT Managing Browser History Using Client Script Basically, the walkthrough shows you how to use Sys.Application.navigate event and the Sys.Application.addHistoryPoint method. Once you understand these two...(read more)

jQuery 1.4.1 Intellisense with Visual Studio

ScottGu's Blog : Atlas — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 06:30:30 GMT

[In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu ] A few people have emailed me recently asking about the availability of a Visual Studio –vsdoc intellisense hint file for jQuery 1.4.1. I blogged about –vsdoc files in the past – they provide additional intellisense help information for Visual Studio, and enable you to get a richer intellisense experience with dynamic Javascript libraries. If you are using VS 2008 SP1 you’ll want to download and install this patch in order to have VS 2008 automatically use –vsdoc files with intellisense. VS 2010 has support for –vsdoc files built-in. jQuery 1.4.1 –vsdoc download The good news is that you can download...(read more)

I’ve been covering ASP.NET AJAX and what used to be called the “Microsoft Ajax Library” ever since the first “Atlas” code drops. ASP.NET AJAX has always offered Web Forms developers a relatively simple way of Ajax enabling their applications without forcing them to change how they write them through the the core Ajax Server Controls (ScriptManager, Timer, UpdatePanel...(read more)

ViewModel Pattern for Silverlight - Options for Hooking a View to its Model

Nikhil Kothari's Weblog — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:42:15 GMT

In the ViewModel, aka the MVVM pattern, a view such as a UserControl is bound to its associated view model. The view model manages state exposed as observable properties, operations exposed as methods and raises notifications via events. An interesting question is how a View should specify its view model, and how a view model instance should be created. Like everything else in the ViewModel pattern, this topic is no different. There are different strategies, with pros and cons, and different people have different opinions. In this post, I'll describe a couple of options, and hope to collect some feedback as well as ideas on alternatives. Part of my goal here is to improve what is supported in Silverlight.FX out-of-the-box. The other goal...(read more)

Microsoft AJAX CDN – Now with SSL Support

ScottGu's Blog : Atlas — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:55:34 GMT

Back in September I blogged about the new Microsoft AJAX CDN (Content Delivery Network) service that the ASP.NET team is now providing. The CDN provides edge caching support for AJAX libraries (including jQuery and ASP.NET AJAX). The service is available for free, does not require any registration, and can be used for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. It offers a great way to speed up your external facing web-sites. SSL Support Now Provided One of the features in September that we said was coming (but which was not available at the initial launch) was SSL support for scripts served off of the CDN. This is necessary for scenarios where you have SSL enabled pages on your site, and you want to reference a script...(read more)

RIA Services: Jumpstarting RIA Development

Nikhil Kothari's Weblog — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:03:31 GMT

In my post on RIA Services: From Vision to Architecture , a while back (right after MIX09), I mentioned that I like to think of RIA Services as RAD for RIA. At that point we had a very early preview of framework bits with little tools support. A large part of jumpstarting your development actually centers around good tooling. VS2010 brings tooling for RIA Services (now: WCF RIA Services). Scott Hanselman demonstrated some key features used in building a Contacts application (as shown on the right) during the keynote at PDC09 . The latest version of RIA Services is now available for download. It works on .NET 4 and VS2010 as well. You can also check out a video tutorial on using RIA Services and Visual Studio 2010. In this post, I want to highlight...(read more)
