  • Keyboard locking up in Visual Studio 2010

    One of the initiatives I’m involved with on the ASP.NET and Visual Studio teams is the Tactical Test Team (TTT), which is a group of testers who dedicate a portion of their time to roaming around and testing different parts of the product.  What this generally translates to is a day and a bit a week helping out with areas of the product that have been flagged as risky, or tackling problems that span both ASP.NET and Visual Studio.  There is also a separate component of this effort outside of TTT which is to help with customer scenarios and design.

  • Happy New Year! Back to school :)

    A brand new year is upon us and it’s time to get cracking with WebMatrix again…and go back to school :).  Last year we ran a successful product walkthrough for WebMatrix Beta 2 with our students from around the world, gathering awesome feedback for the final version of WebMatrix which is coming soon!  I’d like to take this chance to thank all the students who participated in this effort…you have really helped make the final product much better than it would have been otherwise.

    Thanks to everybody who showed up at the talk that Simon Calvert and I gave on an overview of ASP.NET 4 Webforms!  Your participation and feedback were much appreciated, and as promised, I’ve attached the demo that Simon and I built live, as well as the slide deck, to this post.  For those of you who missed it, the talk gives an overview of the SEO/Routing improvements, XHTML 1.1 compliance, ClientID control, ViewState reduction, CSS improvements, Microsoft Ajax Preview 6 updates, Dynamic Data in 4.0, QueryExtender, and the Chart Control.  There was a lot to cover in an hour :).  For those who went to the Ajax talk I did with James Senior, here’s a link to the Preview 6 download directly with the samples.  Enjoy the demos and deck, note that the demos require VS 2010 Beta 2, which you can get hereNOTE: The demos attached to this post need you to drop your own copy of the NorthwindDatabase and the AspNet DB (the AspNET DB is in the default ASP.NET 4 templates).  I ran into an upload file size limitation on community server.  If you would like the full demo with the databases I have a RapidShare link here.  Note that the admin user/password is Jim/aspNET
