Several people have sent me email lately asking for a suggested short-list of my best/favorite blog posts to read (I’ve done 200 posts over the last 12 months and apparently it takes too long to read them all <g>). I’ve put together a summary page of ASP.NET 2.0 Tips, Tricks, Recipes...

Several people have sent me email lately asking for a suggested short-list of my best/favorite past blog posts to read (I’ve done 200 posts over the last 12 months and apparently it takes too long to read them all <g>). I’ve put together a summary page of ASP.NET 2.0 Tips, Tricks, Recipes...

Nikhil recently posted a nice blog post that includes a new ASP.NET AJAX-enabled control called "HistoryControl".

This past week we had over 1,500 attendees for the ASP.NET conference alone, and more than 4,700 total...

Symptom: You are using ASP.NET AJAX Beta1 or Beta2, and create a .aspx page that is based on a .master file. You add the <asp:scriptmanger>, <asp:updatepanel>, <asp:updateprogress> or <asp:timer> control into the content page, and find that markup intellisense no longer works...

Recently I've helped a few developers who have been having some weird JavaScript issues (both when using ASP.NET AJAX and with some other custom JavaScript routines they were using).
