• Scott,
  
  Excellent links. To follow your blog daily I need at least 8 hours of time. So much of information to read.
  

• I don't know how you find all this great content Scott but it's very useful - thank you!
  

• Thanks for the link,Scott!
  
  

• Great links, thanks! I would love to see some Silverlight applications demonstrating how to create special effects like flag waving, water ripple, blur, sharpen, warp text on image (like photoshop displace filter), whirlpool, etc.
  

• Thank you very much for including my article in this amazing resources list that is so valuable.
  

• Im looking forward for siliverlight to expose directx or opengl APIs. Does your team have any plan of it.
  
  Thanks a lot
  

• Great links.
  

• Good resource specially silverlight links
  

• Great stuff as usual, thanks scott
  

• Scott, while I think the MS ASP.Net AJAX framework has its potential, it won’t truly be useful to me unless it can successfully support browser “Back” button support. I have created the following thread in the ASP.Net forums (http://forums.asp.net/p/1240171/2272928.aspx#2272928), asked Joe Stagner from MS and another person, and nobody has come up with a simple explanation of why the Navigate event is not firing.
  
  I have a small project that I can email you and inform me why the Navigate event is not firing when going back to page1….
  If you take a look at the thread, it will explain very simply what I'm trying to do.
  
  Until the framework can successfully support the “Back” button in the browser, I find the framework useless.
  
  
  On a totally separate topic, I have posted the following thread to the ASP.Net forums (http://forums.asp.net/p/1245577/2287600.aspx#2287600). It seems that VS 2008 does not compile web sites successfully if you want to compile them under the 2.0 framework which compiled fine with VS 2005. What’s the point of using VS2008? My job won’t allow us to use VS 2008 to make a gradual progression to the 3.5 framework until VS 2008 can successfully compile and implement websites targeting the 2.0 framework. If you have any insight to this, I would also be very grateful.
  
  

• You can implement the Browser navigate capabilites with ASP.NET Ajax by downloading the 3.5 futures that includes also this duty solved, I think.
  

• raffaeu, I am using the ASP.Net 3.5 Futures version. The Navigate event does not fire going from Page2 back to Page1.
  

• Great links!
  

• Is there a single roll up of .Net 1.0, 1.1, 1.1SP1, 2.0, 2.0SP1, 3.0, 3.0SP1 3.5... IE One download and one install, that does everything? I had to build a new server last night and manually install everything, was quite time consuming!
  

• Is it true that there is a problem with the back button with the ajax library?
  
  Another vote to hear the status if it's as bad as it sounds.
  
  This blog is great for learning what issues are out there, in addition to the content :)
  

• Thanks for the links and explanation.
  

• Does anybody have an explanation about AJAX History management explained more in detail at the following link:

• Thanks for the very useful links.
  

• Hi Scott
  
  Is it possible to run silverlight apps with unlimited (or less limited) access to system resources (if the client trusts the app).
  
  Lets say an app needs to save a lot of data.
  

• I posted another comment at the following url which explains the browser history issue.
