With Office 2010 releasing, some of you might be upgrading to Office 2010 from Office 2007. A plain uninstall of Office 2007 might also run into the issue described below. If this is something you have done (or plan to do) and are running a 64-bit OS, please keep on reading. On machines with a 64-bit OS, uninstall of Office 2007 will break the VS 2008 web designer. You will find that the VS designer won't be able to load, and any attempts to switch to Design View will hang the product. Note that 32-bit machines are not affected and neither are other VS releases. The root cause of this problem is that Office 2007 and the VS 2008 web designer both share a component, 32-bit MSXML5. When Office 2007 uninstalls or gets upgraded, MSXML5 is removed...

You all probably know that new HTML 5 standard is coming. We made a new intellisense schema that you can add to VS 2008 or VWD Express 2008 and get intellisense and validation on HTML 5 elements. Note that schema is for markup only, we do not have DOM2 update for jscript intellisense yet. How to install the schema: Download attached ZIP file. Place html_5.xsd in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html Run either x86 or x64 reg file depending on the OS and VS/VWD flavors installed. For example, for VWD Express installed on 64-bit OS run HTML-5-Schema-Reg-x64-VWD.reg and for VS 2008 installed on 32-bit OS run HTML-5-Schema-Reg-x86.reg. Restart VS You can select HTML 5 in the schema dropdown and HTML 5 element...
Last week we released ASP.Net MVC 2 Preview 2 for Visual Studio 2008 Sp1. In the box support for single project areas is now included and the Add View tool has been modified to streamline this scenario. A walkthrough that creates two simple single project areas can be found here . If you follow the steps in the walkthrough you will notice that Add Controller and Add View are now available in the single project areas in your ASP.Net MVC 2 Preview 2 application. Here are some screenshots that show off the tooling changes.

The new controller will be added to the Controllers folder of the single project...
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is W3C standard language for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics in XML. Firefox 3+, Opera 9+ and Safari 3+ support SVG rendering. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 8 does not support SVG natively and requires a plug-in. There a plug in from Adobe (although support was discontinued this year) as well as few pulg-ins listed in Wikipedia article on SVG . SVG element is part of upcoming HTML 5 standard which allows inline SVG in HTML documents. Inline SVG is not yet fully supported in modern browsers so you probably still want to use <object> element for now. For example: < html > < head > < title > SVG test </ title > </ head > < body > <...

Wcftestclient can be used to debug a WCF service. Here are two ways to enable wcftestclient debugging in Visual Studio VS2008 SP1 web applications. Tradition way: In Web application project property page, web tab, one can specify start external program and command line argument for IIS based WCF: 1. Check Use Local IIS Web server and create a virtual directory on the local IIS (you’ve to enable WCF on .net3.0 with IIS7) 2.
