Scott is a devlead I work with and he has been experimenting with how to have an extensibility pattern for Silverlight 2... Of course, he chose calculator as the example, because who would not want to write custom functions and skins for calc.exe!! [ The blog ] [ Live Sample ] Scott has some good thoughts and raises some good questions about this space. Have you looking into this extensibility of a Silverlight application? We'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Read More...
One of the core priorities we focused on when building IIS 7 was to enable a rich .NET extensibility model that provides developers with the hooks to easily plug-in and extend the web server. These extensibility hooks are provided in the web-server pipeline (enabling scenarios like the new IIS7 Bit Rate Throttler ), within the configuration system (enabling developers to create new web.config schema settings), within the health monitoring system (enabling developers to add custom trace events), and within the admin tool (enabling developers to plug-in new admin UI modules). We added these extensibility hooks so that anyone can easily extend and enhance the web server using .NET. We also selfishly wanted them so that we can ship regular...

Scott Morrison ( the PM for the Silverlight DataGrid) recently posted a very good walk through of using the DataGrid (complete with C# and VB samples).. I recommending staying tuned to his blog if you are interested because he has plans to do several more posts on the subject. Here is a teaser: Read More...
Last month I blogged about our ASP.NET MVC Roadmap . Two weeks ago we shipped the ASP.NET Preview 2 Release . Phil Haack from the ASP.NET team published a good blog post about the release here . Scott Hanselman has created a bunch of great ASP.NET MVC tutorial videos that you can watch to learn more about it here . One of the things I mentioned in my MVC roadmap post was that we would be publishing the source code for the ASP.NET MVC Framework, and enable it to be easily built, debugged, and patched (so that you can work around any bugs you encounter without having to wait for the next preview refresh release). Today we opened up a new ASP.NET CodePlex project that we'll be using to share buildable source for multiple upcoming ASP.NET releases...
As many of you know, FxCop is static code analysis tool that we originally wrote to ensure the .NET Framework itself adheres to the .NET Framework Design Guidelines . The tool as been integrated into Visual Studio as the "Code Analysis" feature, but we also continue to ship the stand alone FxCop download. Check out the FxCop team blog and download FxCop 1.35 from Code Gallery. Read More...
As you likely heard, we have released the source code for all of the Silverlight controls as well as almost 2,000 of our own unit tests. Included with in this is a jewel... A unit testing framework for Silverlight. It is very powerful to have this feature so early in the develop of a new platform such as this. Shawn Burke has a nice post walking you through the source code and test suite . Jeff Wilcox has a post detailing the Unit Testing framework he built for Silverlight 2 . I'd love to hear what you think... Have you looked around in the source and test code base yet? Have you tried out the unit testing framework? any thoughts\feedback? thanks and enjoy! Read More...
