Keyboard locking up in Visual Studio 2010, Part 2
Last week I posted about looking into the keyboard locking up issue in Visual Studio. So far it looks like not a lot of people have replied to provide concrete repro steps, which confirms my suspicion that this is somewhat of a random issue.

Keyboard locking up in Visual Studio 2010
One of the initiatives I’m involved with on the ASP.NET and Visual Studio teams is the Tactical Test Team (TTT), which is a group of testers who dedicate a portion of their time to roaming around and testing different parts of the product. What this generally translates to is a day and a bit a week helping out with areas of the product that have been flagged as risky, or tackling problems that span both ASP.NET and Visual Studio. There is also a separate component of this effort outside of TTT which is to help with customer scenarios and design.

Happy New Year! Back to school :)
A brand new year is upon us and it’s time to get cracking with WebMatrix again…and go back to school :). Last year we ran a successful product walkthrough for WebMatrix Beta 2 with our students from around the world, gathering awesome feedback for the final version of WebMatrix which is coming soon! I’d like to take this chance to thank all the students who participated in this effort…you have really helped make the final product much better than it would have been otherwise.

Wishlist
Hello everybody! It’s been a looong while since my last post and a lot has happened since then. I switched from working on ASP.NET Ajax to ASP.NET WebPages (using the “Razor” syntax), and until recently, WebMatrix and ASP.NET WebPages haven’t been public, so I couldn’t blog about the awesome feature set that we’ve been building out. There are numerous posts on the release, the most prominent of which is on ScottGu’s Blog. Another good overview for WebMatrix can be found on the Coding QA Blog.

ASP.NET Ajax Preview 5 and Application Services
Recently there was an issue posted to the ASP.NET customer forums where somebody was having problems using Profile Services with ASP.NET Ajax Preview 5. The reason is that the scripts for Application Services have been moved to a separate script file (to improve script download size). We did not include the script in the Preview 5 release however, so if you want to use Preview 5 with Application Services features, you need to work around by taking the Sys.Services code and merging it into the Preview 5 MicrosoftAjax.js file. For your convenience and at Dave Reed’s suggestion, I’ve gone ahead and done this, so if you are targeting this scenario, use the new versions of MicrosoftAjax.js and MicrosoftAjax.debug.js that are included in the zip file attached to this post.

Coding QA Podcast and ASP.NET AJAX
The kind folks over at Coding QA Podcast (www.codingqa.com) did an interview with me yesterday, where I talk about some of the challenges with testing and building Microsoft AJAX and talk a little bit about myself. There’s also a brief discussion of the Lightweight Test Automation Framework, and the new IE8 Debugger. I forget what the questions are every so often, but in my unbiased opinion it’s a pretty good listen ;). Click here to jump to the Coding QA Podcast site.

ASP.NET AJAX Preview 4 Samples
Politian has posted a lot of samples on using the new ADO.NET Data Services features in ASP.NET AJAX Preview 4 (in fact, at the time of this posting, the entire blog is dedicated to Preview 4!). He walks through some basic scenarios, but then goes into detail about interesting sample topics as he builds his MIX Presenter Application. Highlights thus far:
