Ajax (

A couple of years ago Simone Chiaretta did a survey of .NET Developers usage of Ajax .. I just saw that he is refreshing that survey to see what has changed in the industry. Are people still actively moving to Ajax? Are they using MVC or WebForms with their Ajax? Which ones of the *many* ajax frameworks out there are they using? Feel free to write-in Silverlight if that is your current preference for this style of application. Very interesting data… and while clearly not a scientific survey, it is an interesting data point as Simone has agreed to publish all the data he gets. Here is what he has so far . So please take a few minutes and fill out the survey and pass it on to your colleagues...
Yesterday at Mix we announced .NET RIA Services… We are very early in the development cycle for .NET RIA Services and we are eager to get your feedback and thoughts. The marketing blurb catches the key points: Microsoft .NET RIA Services simplifies the traditional n-tier application pattern by bringing together the ASP.NET and Silverlight platforms. The RIA Services provides a pattern to write application logic that runs on the mid-tier and controls access to data for queries, changes and custom operations. It also provides end-to-end support for common tasks such as data validation, authentication and roles by integrating with Silverlight components on the client and ASP.NET on the mid-tier. (shamelessly stolen from...
jQuery 1.3 was released a little over a month ago. The 1.3 release adds exciting features such as selector performance improvements, "live events" where events can be bound to both current and future elements, and more. Version 1.3.2 was released a few days ago and fixes some bugs include one involving selector performance in IE. I just wanted to let everyone know that we now have VSDoc files for all of the 1.3 releases. You can download them from the jQuery Downloads page ... A refresher on how to use the file can be found here or here . Here's one of the new functions in action... Hope this helps! Jeff King Program Manager Visual Studio Web Tools Read More...
I've been reading through the 70 or so comments on our last 2 jQuery posts. There have been a lot of great questions. Apologies for not being able to answer them sooner (I was busy preparing for Dev Connections). Instead of answering them inline with the comments, I'll try to paraphrase the popular issues here and answer them centrally. 1. I have a ton of Content Pages, do I need to put script references for IntelliSense in each one? No, you do not need to repeat the script references on each content page. Visual Studio 2008 will auto-detect the presence of a master page and scan for references in that file. Thus, placing references in the master page is all you need to do. 2. I put a vsdoc reference in...

Last week I mentioned we would be releasing a Hotfix to accompany our new jQuery VSDoc file . This Hotfix is now available at the MSDN Code Gallery . Here's a direct download link for this small (2MB) patch: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB958502/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1736 I want to emphasize that this patch is intended for all JavaScript files, not just those related to jQuery . Generally, we will opportunistically look for documentation files related to the script file. For example, given "mylibrary.js", we will search in the same directory for: mylibrary -vsdoc .js, then if we don't find it we will search for... mylibrary .debug .js, then if we don't find it we will search for... mylibrary.js The idea...
A while back we updated IntelliSense to not fail when referencing jQuery. However, getting IntelliSense for chained calls and rich summary/parameter hints still required adding special comments to a few thousand lines of jQuery. If you didn't have the time, you could download such a file from friendly members of the community such as James and Brennan . As part of our new partnership with jQuery , yesterday we announced the availability of the official IntelliSense documentation file. As you can see, our friends at jQuery have added a new download link for Visual Studio at http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery#Download_jQuery . You can also download the file directly from http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.2.6-vsdoc.js . As you might guess...
I had a great time today at AjaxWorld during my talk on building a great Ajax Application from Scratch. It was fun to get out from behind the powerpoint and show some real code! For this demo, I only used freely available tools... In particular everything I show works in Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer Express . Peter Galli posts on Microsoft's general presence at AjaxWorld . The folks at sys-con already posted a quick story on my talk: Presented A No-Slides, Code Only Session at AJAXWorld Download the complete samples . Part I: CSS and HTML Designer First, I showed off what a great CSS and HTML designer Visual Studio 2008 is. For this part of the demo I didn't...
I have very excited to be going to AjaxWorld in San Jose, CA next week. I love getting a chance to get out of Redmond and talk to real-life developers and an industry wide event such as AjaxWorld gives me such a great opportunity to see what is going on in and outside of the Microsoft space. Scott Guthrie will be giving the keynote on bright and early Monday morning. If you have never had a chance to see Scott speak, you have to wake up early to catch this! Scott is a master of the demo and I know he has some great ones in cooking up for this already. I am very lucky to be following Scott with a couple of breakout sessions... I would love for these to be very interactive, some come, bring your questions and comments...
Today we launched the new Microsoft.com/Web website for web developers and web professionals. This new site not only aggregates the latest news and advances in the web development community, but it also provides a home for the new Microsoft Web Platform Installer Beta (Web PI) and the Microsoft Web Application Installer Beta (Web AI). The Web PI aims to replace the days of tedious searches for product installs and updates. Now, in one quick install, users will be able to download all the tools they need to get a Windows server box ready for hosting or get the software they need to start building web apps. Currently, the Web PI installs the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, IIS7.0 and Extensions, IIS FastCGI, Visual Web Developer 2008, SQL Server 2008...
