Nov 6th Links: ASP.NET, ASP.NET AJAX, jQuery, ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight and WPF

ScottGu — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Last week was our big PDC conference, and I've been busy catching up back at work this week. I'm hoping to publish a bunch of new posts soon (including some on the PDC announcements we made). Until then, 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.

ASP.NET

6 New ASP.NET Dynamic Data Videos: Joe Stagner has just published 6 new videos on the www.asp.net site that cover how to use the cool new ASP.NET Dynamic Data functionality introduced with .NET 3.5 SP1.

Download Hotfix: False C# Compilation Errors for ASP.NET Code Behind Files with VS 2008 SP1: The C# team added support for live semantic errors with background compilation in VS 2008 SP1. There were a few cases where this caused false errors to be shown with ASP.NET Web site projects. You can fix these either by disabling live semantic errors (tools->options allows you to disable this), or by downloading a recent hotfix patch which is now public. Omar Khan has a useful blog post with more details on it.

Examining ASP.NET 2.0's Membership, Roles and Profile - Part 13: Scott Mitchell has another post in his great series of ASP.NET security articles. This one covers how to create a login screen that allows admin users to log in as another user in the user database. For more on ASP.NET security, also check out Joe Stagner's recent ASP.NET Security Videos.

ASP.NET Patterns Developers Should Know: Alex Homer from the Patterns and Practices (PAG) team at Microsoft has a nice article that introduces a number of common design patterns (MVC and MVP, Repository, Singleton, etc) and how you can apply them within ASP.NET applications. If you are interested in learning more about pattern based development I also highly recommend reading the Head First Design Patterns book (which has more than 250 positive reviews on Amazon).

ASP.NET AJAX and jQuery

Rich jQuery Intellisense with VS 2008: Last week we published a new jQuery intellisense file for VS 2008 that delivers super-rich and accurate javascript intellisense when using jQuery. Jeff's article describes how to download and start using it today.

ASP.NET and jQuery: Stephen Walther delivered an awesome talk on using jQuery with ASP.NET at the PDC conference last week. You can now watch it online for free. Click here to download his code samples and powerpoint presentation.

jQuery Primer Part 1 and Part 2: Karl Seguin has two nice posts that provide a quick overview of some of the basics of how to use jQuery. Also check out Rick Strahl's longer Introduction to jQuery article (which I've previously linked to) for a longer jQuery tutorial.

ASP.NET AJAX Futures: Bertrand Le Roy delivered an awesome talk on the new ASP.NET AJAX features coming soon at the PDC conference last week. You can now watch it online for free as well as download his slides and code-samples.

Working with ADO.NET Data Services with ASP.NET AJAX: Jim Wang has a nice blog post that demonstrates how to take advantage of the new ASP.NET AJAX features (client templating, ADO.NET data service support, etc) to build a data driven AJAX solution.

ASP.NET MVC

Bin Deployable ASP.NET MVC: Phil Haack has a useful blog post that describes step-by-step how to enable \bin directory deployment of ASP.NET MVC. This enables you to deploy ASP.NET MVC based applications on remote hosting servers that do not have ASP.NET MVC already installed (which means you don't need them to run any setup or do extra steps for your application to work).

Donut Caching in ASP.NET MVC: Phil Haack has a great blog post that talks about how to implement substitution output caching with ASP.NET MVC. I coined the name "donut caching" for this technique with a previous blog post I did on using substitution output caching with ASP.NET Web Forms. Phil covers it for ASP.NET MVC.

Grouping Controllers with ASP.NET MVC: Phil Haack has another great post that covers how to segment a ASP.NET MVC application into multiple "areas" or "modules" - which can optionally be developed in separate projects and merged into one large master application. Also check out Steve Sanderson's follow-up post with more ideas on this topic.

Silverlight and WPF

Silverlight Toolkit Released: Last week at PDC we shipped the first release of the Silverlight Toolkit. This is a free download that works with Silverlight 2, and delivers a whole slew of awesome controls and features (including new charting controls, new layout managers, treeview, viewbox, and more). A must-have download for every Silverlight developer.

Silverlight Unit Test Framework and Source Released: Jeff Wilcox shares all the great details about the release of our new Silverlight Unit Testing framework (which includes source that can be modified/reused however you want).

Updated WPF Performance Profiling Tool: The WPF team recently posted an update to their excellent WPF Performance Profiling Tool. Definitely something to check out if you are doing WPF development.

WPF & Silverlight LOB Form Layout - Searching for a Better Solution: Karl Shifflett has another great WPF blog post that covers a cool way to perform flexible form layout for LOB scenarios.

Hope this helps,

Scott

White paper: On Server AJAX and now SILVERLIGHT, a paradigm shift that optimizes AJAX / SILVERLIGHT for enterprise's usage

Visual WebGui — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Overview

AJAX, a term coined by Jesse James Garret from Adaptive Path in 2005 has become a ubiquitous term for highly interactive and responsive web applications.

The evolution of the web closely resembles the evolution of desktop computing moving from the age of “dumb” terminals or the mainframe computing paradigm into the client server computing paradigm, into a new paradigm shift called On Server AJAX and now SILVERLIGHT computing.

The move to AJAX / SILVERLIGHT has left enterprises with no adequate solutions for security concerns, cost effective development cycles, and support for complex interactions and options for off-line operability.

On Server AJAX / SILVERLIGHT offers revolutionary solutions to those concerns and needs.

Summary

As more and more applications turn to the web as the de-facto deployment platform the need for tools and development patterns to support complex user interfaces will grow. AJAX / SILVERLIGHT is a key component of modern web applications and will continue to serve as the basis of many rich internet applications. AJAX / SILVERLIGHT are just a term, there are numerous AJAX / SILVERLIGHT solutions and techniques available and not all are created equal. As a whole, the On Server AJAX / SILVERLIGHT paradigm led by Visual WebGui provides a better way to design , develop and deploy complex, secure, robust applications in an effective and familiar fashion.

We are happy to announce the shipment of VWG Enterprise Server Beta version for scaling over a web farm

Visual WebGui — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 04:00:00 GMT

The Beta version is available for Beta Testers upon registration. We have to limit Beta testers count to 100 only, so if you are interested apply ASAP.

What is VWG enterprise server?

The Enterprise Server beta version 6.1 provides the scaling capabilities & redundancy required in order to store the session state within an external state server that can be either an SQL Server or any state server which is enabled by Microsoft ASP.NET session state.

The Enterprise Server is constructed of 2 main orchestrating components:

The Enterprise Server’s Windows Service which is responsible of enabling the serialization of the VWG state and assuring the process is done efficiently and optimized.
The Enterprise Server SDK which is capable to communicate with the Enterprise Server’s Windows service enabling state serialization.
The installation

The installation file presents 2 options:

Enterprise SDK – which will install the Enterprise Server’s Windows Service locally of the selected .NET runtime version along with the selected VS version’s VWG templates (should be selected when installing development machines).
Enterprise Server – which will install the Enterprise Server’s Windows Service locally only (should be selected when installing a server).

Configuration

Regarding the ASP.NET session state configuration:

<sessionState            mode="InProc"
        stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
        sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
        cookieless="false"            timeout="20"    />

While using mode=“InProc” as shown above, scalability is not enabled since the state is kept “in process” meaning within the IIS/WebDev server.

Configuring mode= “Off” cannot be used with VWG as session state is essential in order to run the Server Based architecture.

Any other configuration, such as mode=”SQLServer” (along with a proper definition of the connection) will require the serializablility capabilities implemented within the scalability service orchestrated with the Enterprise SDK.

Runtime

Running any session state mode other than “InProc” will require the Windows Service to be available and running.

Note

You should make sure that all of the server side objects you are using are either serialize-able (meaning that all of their members are either primitives or are serialize-able objects recursively), alternatively they can suit if they are re-initialized automatically when empty.

Those of you interested, can apply through support@visualwebgui.com

ASP.NET Perf Issue: Large numbers of application-restarts due to virus scanners: Tess Ferrandez has a great post that details a debug session to determine why an ASP.NET application was restarting frequently (causing performance slowdowns). The issue was a virus scanner that was causing files to be constantly updated. Make sure to check out the logging code you can add to your application to identify restart causes like this.

ASP.NET AJAX

ASP.NET AJAX Progress Bar Control: Matt Berseth has another great article that describes his new ASP.NET AJAX Progress Bar control.

Faster Page Loading By Combining Multiple JavaScript files in Batch: Omar Al Zabir (founder of PageFlakes.com and author of the great Building a Web 2.0 Portal with ASP.NET 3.5 book) has a good article that describes the performance benefit of merging multiple JavaScript file downloads. Note that .NET 3.5 SP1 will include a new script combiner feature that helps make doing this even easier.

Create ASP.NET AJAX Server Controls using the ScriptControl base class: Chris Pietschmann has a nice article that talks about how to build new ASP.NET AJAX server controls by deriving from the built-in ScriptControl base class.

Inline Edit Box and Postback Ritalin Beta: Dave Ward and Mike Davis have created a new CodePlex project for their popular Inline Edit Box and PostBack Ritalin ASP.NET AJAX controls.

.NET

7 Ways to Simplify your code with LINQ: Igor Ostrovsky has a great blog post that talks about new code techniques you can use to improve your code using .NET 3.5 and the new language and LINQ features in it.

DataContracts without Attributes (POCO support): Aaron Skonnard has a good post that talks about a nice usability change with .NET 3.5 SP1 that allows you to serialize POCO (plain old objects) using the WCF serializers.

Ukadc.Diagnostics: Josh Twist pointed me at a new CodePlex project he is working on that extends the System.Diagnostics features in .NET to include richer logging features (SQL trace support, email support, etc).

Visual Studio

11 More VS Short Cuts you Should Know: A great post that talks about a bunch of useful shortcuts to print out and remember when using Visual Studio.

Did you know you can show extension methods in the object browser?: Sara Ford continues her excellent "Did you know" series. I confess I didn't know this one.

Silverlight

50 New Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Screencasts: Mike Taulty and Mike Ormond have put together 50 nice tutorial screen-casts that cover Silverlight 2 - all in their "spare time". Wow.

AutoComplete for Silverlight TextBoxes: Nikhil Kothari has a nice blog post that demonstrates how he built an auto-complete behavior control for Silverlight.

Scrolling through Large Resultsets with Silverlight 2 and LINQ to SQL: The Swiss MSDN team has a nice blog post that demonstrates how to scroll through large resultsets using the Silverlight DataGrid and LINQ to SQL.

Silverlight 2 Pie Chart: Peter McGrattan has posted a nice control and article that demonstrates how to use a new Silverlight charting control he has written.

WPF

WPF week on Channel9: Watch 6 great videos on Channel9. Each one includes interviews and demos with members of the WPF team talking about some of the awesome work that went into WPF 3.5 SP1 (read my blog post here for a summary of some of it).

WPF Testing and Application Quality Guide: Check out the 0.2 release of a free online book being developed by Microsoft that covers how to test WPF applications. Definitely worth book-marking if you are doing WPF development.

Moving Toward WPF Data Binding One Step at a Time: Josh Smith has a great article on CodeProject.com that explains WPF data binding and walksthrough how to use it.

WPF 3.5 SP1 StringFormat: Lester has a nice post that describes how to use the new StringFormat feature in WPF 3.5 SP1. This makes it much easier to handle formatting of databound values.

Hope this helps,

Scott
