As I mentioned last month , VS 2008 fully supports building applications for .NET Framework 2.0... This is very important as it will take time for some hosters and IT organizations to fully deploy .NET Framework 3.5, but you don't want that to block you from taking full advantage of the cool features in VS 2008 . Today we released ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Templates for VS2008 . This release contains project templates for using Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Web Developer 2008 to create new web sites and web applications with ASP.NET AJAX Extensions features.

We had a group of customers (and potential) customers out to campus earlier this week and I was asked to give a talk about how to leverage ASP.NET and Silverlight to build a media centric site.

The ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP we shipped this past weekend contains a bunch of great new features. One of the cool new features is something we call "ASP.NET Dynamic Data Support". In a nutshell this enables you to really quickly build data driven web-sites that work against a LINQ to SQL (and in the future LINQ to Entities) object model - and optionally allows you to-do this without having to build any pages manually. The best way to see this in action is to watch David Ebbo's awesome 17 minute screen-cast : You can also follow the steps below to easily get started and use the dynamic data support: Step 1: Create a ASP.NET Dynamic Data Site: Once you have the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions CTP release installed, you can use VS 2008...
Dynamic data is a very cool feature of the ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions that allows you to trivially easy build, customize and maintain a data driven web application... If you have a project that starts with some data in a database and you want to enable, viewing, editing, filtering, sorting of that data in all kinds of interesting ways then you have to check out Oryx.. David has done a very good Screencast that takes everyone's favorite Northwind database and shows how to build a very cool site out of it. Here is a quote from the forums about this release that I just love: I installed everything and ran it using Visual Web Developer express. It works. Damn scary to create something that would take a day to create in only 3 minutes The Dynamic Data...

When you add a global.asax file to your "Web Application Projects (WAPs) like below: and then write code in Application_Start event and try to debug it like below using Visual Studio inbuilt Development Web Server Then during your first debug the breakpoint is hit but during your subsequent debug runs the breakpoint is not hit. The reason behind this is that we do not kill the ASP.Net Web Server process after your every debug run and hence Application_Start() is not fired every time. There is a good reason why we do so... Starting ASP.Net Web Server process is an expensive task and in most of the scenarios recycling this process after every debug would adversely impact your performance... If you do not want to debug...
