‘Paste JSON As Classes’ is a cool feature in ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 RC. This feature will help you generate strongly typed classes in C# or VB.NET from valid JSON text. With ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 RC installed, you will see new menu option like below for C# and VB.NET Website and Web Application projects only. This new menu option will be enabled for .cs and .vb file extensions inside these projects: JSON to C#/VB.NET class conversion To use this feature, just copy sample JSON text and “Paste JSON As Classes” inside .vb or .cs file. This feature uses Newtonsoft JSON parser to parse JSON text from clipboard. Once Newtonsoft JSON parser validates the clipboard data as valid JSON, then it will be converted into...
We recently released a VS2010 sp1 QFE KB2650605 to solve a VB editor debugging problem. During VB web form debugging, VB web form may become un-editable if there are server tags inside. If you develop and debug VB web forms, you might be interested to download this QFE. http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=40811 Best regards, Xinyang Qiu Web Platforms and Tools Team Read More...

VS2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 offer a ton of customer value from Linq to Ajax and much more. The service pack we have been working on to round out this release adds even more new value in addition to fixing a 100s of customer reported bugs! All of it is driven by customer asks and I am excited about how we have begun to embrace a model of providing great customer value on a very regular cadence. Omar Khan and I recently recorded a DotNetRocks episode where we talked about all these great things. I thought it would be fun to list just a few of my personal favorite new features in this SP... What is your favorite one? For Web Developers: - ASP.NET Dynamic Data makes building data driven web applications...
Well, at least a Dot Net Slacker ... My first article on DotNetSlackers just got published. It shows how to handle the back button with ASP.NET Ajax using pure server code. Check it out (registration required): http://dotnetslackers.com/articles/ajax/HandlingTheBackButtonFromServerCode.aspx Read More...
I've recently recorded a screencast showing how to enable server-side history management (in other words, handling the back button) in an ASP.NET Ajax application. The whole video is less than 15 minutes total and I build the whole application from scratch in there (in VB). I hope it shows just how simple history management is made by ASP.NET Ajax and that it helps understanding the state model that it's built on. The same video in a variety of formats and in a resolution where the code is actually readable can be found here: http://www.asp.net/downloads/3.5-extensions/ For those people who find it difficult to cut and paste code from a video by doing a screen capture and then using OCR over it, here's the source code of the mini-app that's...
A while back I talked about Bringing new life to your VB6 apps with the Interop Forms Toolkit and now they have shipped Version 2.0... If you have a VB6 app and you are looking to take incremental advantage of .NET, you should check this out. Here is a cool example project where they leverage the WinForms MenuStrip and ToolStrip in a VB6 application! Very cool.. I can't wait to see what you do with it! Read More...
I just saw a cool screen cast on the Microsoft Interop Forms Toolkit 1.0…. Great stuff! It enables you to incrementally enhance your VB6 applications with the power of the .NET Framework…. It has been a while sense I have really wanted to install VB6, but this makes me want to just to see what I can do. I think this is a great solution for anyone supporting an existing VB6 app that wants to be able to leverage all the great stuff in the .NET Framework. The screen cast shows advanced databinding support, but there is much, much more power available in the .NET Framework. Has anyone tried this? What do you think? Read More...
