Here is the latest in my link-listing series. Also check out my ASP.NET Tips, Tricks and Tutorials page and Silverlight Tutorials page for links to popular articles I've done myself in the past.
Displaying the Number of Active Users on an ASP.NET Site: Scott Mitchell continues his excellent series on ASP.NET's membership, roles, and profile support. In this article he discusses how to use ASP.NET's Membership features to estimate and display the number of active users currently visiting a site.
ASP.NET Dynamic Data Update: The ASP.NET team last week released an update of the new ASP.NET Dynamic Data feature. This update adds several new features including cleaner URL support using the same URL routing feature that ASP.NET MVC uses, as well as better confirmation, foreign-key, and template support.
ASP.NET Testing with Ivonna: Travis Illig blogs about a new testing framework named Ivonna that enables unit testing of ASP.NET web forms.
ASP.NET AJAX UI Templates: Nikhil Kothari from the ASP.NET team has a cool post that shows off a prototype he has been working on that enables clean client-side AJAX templating of UI.
ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit TabContainer Theme Gallery: Matt Berseth has another of his excellent posts - this one shows off a bunch of cool themes you can use to style the TabContainer control in the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit.
Reducing Page Load Times with UpdatePanels and Timers: Paul Glavich posts of a cool trick you can use with tab controls to asynchronously load their content in the background in order to improve perceived page load time.
Why do ASP.NET AJAX page methods have to be static? Dave Ward has a useful article that talks about the page methods feature in ASP.NET AJAX, and explains why they are static methods.
JQuery Intellisense in VS 2008: Brad Vincent posts about using the VS 2008 Web Development Hot-Fix we released in February to get a nice JavaScript intellisense experience in Visual Studio 2008 when using the JQuery AJAX library.
Inversion of Control, ASP.NET MVC and Unit Testing: Fredrik Kalseth has a cool article that talks about the concepts behind inversion of control (IOC) and how you can use this with ASP.NET MVC to better isolate dependencies and enable better unit testing of your code.
Stephen Walther's ASP.NET MVC Talk: Stephen Walther delivered a many-hour ASP.NET MVC post conference talk at ASP.NET Connections last week. You can download his slides + demos for free. Also check out his previous posts on Unit Tests with Visual Studio 2008 and TDD with Rhino Mocks.
MVC Contrib Project Update: Eric Hexter blogs about some of the latest updates to the open source MvcContrib project to work with the latest ASP.NET MVC interim source release.
Testing Action Results with ASP.NET MVC: Jeremy Skinner blogs about some cool extension method helpers he has added to MvcContrib to enable pretty sweet testing of Controller actions.

Defining Silverlight DataGrid Columns at Runtime: Scott Morrison from the Silverlight team has a cool blog post that talks about how to define Silverlight DataGrid Columns via code at runtime. Visit my Silverlight links page for more DataGrid posts.
Silverlight HTTP Networking Stack (Part 1), (Part 2), (Part 3): Karen Corby from the Silverlight team has a great three part blog series that talks about the new Silverlight 2 networking stack and how cross domain security works with it.
Pushing Data to a Silverlight Client with Sockets (Part 1) and (Part 2): Dan Wahlin demonstrates how to implement a "GameStream" socket server and connect to it from a Silverlight client using Silverlight 2's built-in network sockets support.
Silverlight - the Song: Spike Xavier and Dan Wahlin have posted another of their unique and special songs. :-)
Hope this helps,
Scott
Scott,
I put together a two part article on Testing Silverlight with the new test framework. It builds upon BradA's recent sample. You can find it here:

Thanks for the links :)
Hi Eric,
Great testing links on Silverlight! I just added them to my queue to link to next time.
Thanks,
Thanks Scott. This is quite a valuable contribution.
Great post! Thanks Scott!!
You've been kicked (a good thing) - Trackback from DotNetKicks.com

Any word on Silverlight beta 2 and if IronPython and IronRuby will be included(with project templates, intellisense etc)
Thanks
Very nice links as aways scott . I would like to suggest

Hi Scott,
When is VBx language going to be finally released? any ideas...
thanks!!! these lists are great
Scott: I was in Orlando for the DevConnections and enjoyed your presentations. I was wondering if SilverLight version of SharePoint templates are in the works.
Hey Scott,
Thanks for the links!!! i have one question :)
Can we expect that silverlight will be integrated with new version of IE or with vista? so when any end user upgrades browser(IE) or OS(vista) then by default it will support XAML and people don't have to download it separately.
Regards,
Hardik Joshi(tech2hard@hotmail.com)

Hi all:
You can read this post in spanish here:
thinkingindotnet.wordpress.com/.../enlaces-de-abril-aspnet-aspnet-ajax-aspnet-mvc-silverlight
It is impressive to see what Silverlight can do nowadays. Hope to see you write more about Silverlight.
I appologize for bothering such an important man, but doing a web search on "Templates User Controls" topic returns very little besides one blog post of yours from several years ago, and the lame MSDN library article refered to in your post. I gave up after wasting almost two full days when the benefits of the solution (avoiding lots of cut and paste repeatative code) became outweighed by the time already lost.
Whatever I name my 'template' the designer throws the error "UI.UserControl does not contain the public method.
All I want to do is take all the somewhat gritty code of an overly metecliously crafted (dreamwaver) rounded edge box with a top and a bottom and sides and literally encapsulate a placeholder control where I will place datagrid views as well as other stuff.
I can get text to render in my box (even though the designer thows an error) but I can't easily "find" my inner template controls which I want to set dynamically.
Templated User Controls deserve a revist. Perhaps you could assign one of your eager MVPs to write an updated article on this subject.
ITemplate and IDataContainer only seem to work on 'templated' server controls and the UserControl Page is not really a templated control.

Scott, I think it will be very helpful if you can do a more advanced post on how to generalize Linq queries in order to avoid code redundancy. For example dynamic Where clauses.
Re: ASP.NET Testing with Ivonna
The framework is really a mocking add-on for webforms that is built ontop of TypeMock. As such you can use any unit test framework e.g. MSTest, NUnit, MbUnit etc.

Is it possible to use Custom Controls using FrameWork2.0 controls in Silver Light Application.Actually Silver Light application will allow only the controls which is built by silver light runtime. But my requirement is, I have created a customer control using FrameWork2.0(Converted to 3.5 now).I would like to use the control inside the Silver Light Application(means in Page.xaml file).Is it possible?
