We just posted some updated bits and samples for ASP.NET Dynamic Data... I encourage you to go pick them up and let us know what you think... Some cool new stuff in this release: Visual Studio Integration is much cleaner Now supports "pretty" URLs http://products/details/1 instead of http://products/details.aspx?id=123 Full documentation Additional support for 3rd party control vendors and O/R Mappers (more details coming soon) Scott Hunter recently did a HanselMinutes podcast that you should check out.. ScottGu did a post recently that hits the high points of Dynamic Data... Give them a try, we'd love to have your feedback! http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/dynamicdata Read More...
Mike Harder found this one that I didn't know about: all exceptions that you may get from the browser are not Error instances. DOMException is an exception that gets thrown when a DOM operation fails, but for some incomprehensible reason it doesn't derive from Error like SyntaxError or TypeError : try { document.createElement( ' ' ); } catch (ex){ alert(ex instanceof Error); } This will alert false. But wait, that's not all. There are other exceptions that derive from DOMException, so in order to handle that exception, you'd want to be able to know if an exception derives from it, something like that: try { document.createElement( ' ' ); } catch (ex){ if (ex instanceof DOMException){ // Do stuff } } Well, if you...

I have been having some fun with an end to end Silverlight 2 demo recently and I thought I'd share it here. My goal with the demo is to show how easy it is to create an end to end Silverlight application. In particular, my goal is to show Explain the Silverlight Project Format How to do rich layout and animation Uses line of business controls for Silverlight such as DataGrid Has a Linq based data layer on the server on the server Exposes business logic over that data via a WCF web service Consume the service on the client in Silverlight and databind to the DataGrid Store result locally to minimize round trips to the server across instantiations with IsolatedStorage Re-theme the UI to make it look more cool. Do it all in code that you could...
We recently opened up a new ASP.NET CodePlex Project that we will be using to provide previews (with buildable source code) for several upcoming ASP.NET features and releases. Last month we used it to publish the first drop of the ASP.NET MVC source code . This first drop included the source for the ASP.NET MVC Preview 2 release that we shipped at MIX, along with Visual Studio project files to enable you to patch and build it yourself. A few hours ago we published a refresh of the ASP.NET MVC source code on the site. This source refresh is not an official new ASP.NET MVC preview release - instead it is an interim drop that provides a look at the current state of the source tree. We will ship the official "ASP.NET MVC Preview...

I had a great trip in North Carolina… In addition to a fun time with my extended family, I had a chance to take two days “off” vacation and visit with three Fortune 500 companies, give a Framework Design Guidelines training class to the Visual Studio North Carolina office and speak at the Triangle Area .NET User’s group. Overall, I am very impressed with the .NET community in North Carolina. I found a ton of passion and interest in Silverlight 2 in both consumer facing Internet applications as well as browser clients for internal line of business applications. I was also impressed with the interest in ASP.NET Dynamic Data (which we just did an updated preview of ) and there were a few folks that were super excited about...
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 More ASP.NET Security Tutorials : The last three of Scott Mitchell's excellent ASP.NET security tutorials . His final three articles cover how to select user accounts, recover and change passwords, and unlock and approve user accounts. Building a VS 2008 Styled Grid with the ListView and DataPager Controls : Matt Berseth has a great article that talks about techniques you can use with the new ASP.NET 3.5 ListView control to create a nicely styled Grid UI - while preserving total control over the HTML and CSS used.

A few months ago we released an ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview that contained a bunch of new features that will be shipping later this year (including ASP.NET AJAX Improvements, ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Silverlight Support, and ASP.NET Dynamic Data). The ASP.NET Dynamic Data support within that preview provided a first look at a cool new feature that enables you to quickly build data driven web-sites that work against a LINQ to SQL or LINQ to Entities object model. ASP.NET Dynamic Data allows you to automatically render fully functional data entry and reporting pages that are dynamically constructed from your ORM data model meta-data. In addition to supporting a dynamic rendering mode, it also allows you to optionally override and customize...
