December 8th Links: ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, ASP.NET MVC, .NET, VS 2008

Here is the latest in my link-listing series.  Also check out my ASP.NET Tips, Tricks and Tutorials page for links to popular articles I've done myself in the past.

Several people have pinged me asking for the download location of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview.  We were hoping to post it on the web Friday, but unfortunately found a late bug that we felt needed to be fixed.  The team is working this weekend to sign off on the new build.  We hope to be able to post it as soon as this is done - apologies for the delay.

ASP.NET

  • Taking an ASP.NET Application Offline: Scott Mitchell has a good article on 4GuysFromRolla that discusses a few approaches you can use to temporarily take down ASP.NET applications for updates/maintenance. 

ASP.NET AJAX

  • Sys.Debug in ASP.NET AJAX Framework: Roman Nikitin has a nice post that describes how to use the Sys.Debug feature of ASP.NET AJAX to easily instrument, debug and trace your AJAX applications. 

ASP.NET MVC

  • TDD and Dependency Injection with ASP.NET MVC: Phil Haack from the ASP.NET team writes about how to use TDD (test driven development) with the new ASP.NET MVC Framework.  He uses StructureMap and RhinoMocks to enable the Dependency Injection and Mocking support.

.NET

  • Hidden Gems in Visual Basic 2008: Amanda Silver from the VB team has an awesome post that discusses some of the new hidden gems with Visual Basic in VS 2008.  I actually learned a few of them for the first time reading her article!  Highly recommended reading.

  • LINQ to Active Directory is Here: Bart De Smet from my team has been working on a cool LINQ to Active Directory provider (previously called LINQ to LDAP) in his spare time.  You can learn how to use it in his series here, as well as read about how he built it (and learn a lot about how to build LINQ providers).

Visual Studio

Hope this helps,

Scott

Aw man, I was really going to have a look at ASP.NET MVC this weekend, too bad. I'll do it next weekend. Thanks for the links!

Thanks for the link for using Solution Folders to group projects in large solutions.  This little trick will actually come in handy for us.  I'm surprised I didn't realize you could do that earlier, I've always just used Solution Folders to contain non-project related files (like 3rd party dlls)

Hi, Scott,

Will all five items (MVC, AJAX Improvements, Dynamic Data Support, Silverlight Support, Data Services (Astoria))

ship with this forthcoming drop?

Thanks in advance,

Scott,

can you do a post on the new web.config in ASP.NET 3.5, because it's really scary. Ok, maybe not scary, but I'm afraid to remove or change anything, because I don't understand half of what in there anymore. Why didn't you patch the machine.config or update the runtime with a service pack?

I am always waiting for your links series. Like many others i am curious to find what rss feeds you to subscribe and if possible you could share the feeds you subscribe to. It would give away some good resources to the community.

Thanks

Hi Scott,

The e-mail address you posted doesn't seem to work--I received a failure message back immediately:

"PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 13): 550 5.1.1 User unknown".  Looking forward to digging down into the Framework :).

Cheers,

Mike

E-mail address "fxrefsrc@microsoft.com" is not working for me, I got 550 5.1.1 User unknown from <mail5.microsoft.com> [205.248.106.30]. Is that general condition of just Microsoft does not like me? ;-)

Hi Mike, Enrico, and Michal,

Sorry for the issue with the email address - for some reason it is not allowing email outside Microsoft at the moment.

Can you instead send email to: sburke@microsoft.com (and include the phrase "reference source" in the subject line).  Shawn can then help you get setup.

Thanks,

Scott

Yes - this preview will include all of those features.

Sorry about the delay.  We are hoping to have the bits live early Sunday - so keep an eye out for them then.  That way you have at least half of the weekend to play with them.

Thanks,

That's the disadvantage of me living in a timezone that's GMT+12 (and currently on DST)...Never mind, it'll give me something interesting to do on Monday morning.

It's actually a good thing that the MVC Framework didn't come out Friday.  I have a couple of papers to write for school this weekend, and I probably would have ignored them. :)

Have downloaded the beta2 visual studio 2008 standard edition in which design view has a bug with nested master pages (throws error so you can't use design view) I downloaded the professional beta 2 and this error disappeared. I hope this will be fixed soon in the standard edition because this is the one I want to purchase copies of.
