  • Nice and useful collection. Thanks :)

  • Thanks very much for the link to Matt's blog. What a tremendous resource for ASP.NET coders! Matt definitely deserves recognition for his efforts. I only wish I knew about it a long time ago.

  • What about "Scott's Appreciation Day"? ;-)

  • Well Matt has another subscriber now.

  • Scott;
    Kind of crazy question, but I need to ask.

    From the first announcement of Linq, we all knew Linq is going to be a big part of MS development tools and there is no doubt it's worth the time and effort to learn and pursue it. And you can see MS will push that all the way.
    What's your projection about the future efforts in SilverLight and it's importance within MS? Is it one of those projects that's shoots high and then dies off or will it be like Linq that will have life behind it?

    Thanks!

  • good links thats fro sharing

  • Hi Scott,

    I plan on building a workstation - 2x Intel Quad-core with 8GB. Is VS2005 and VS2008 and truly multi-threaded application? Will there be be a 64-bit version of the VS in future?

    Thanks,
    Ram

  • Hi Scott,

    I'm wondering if you have some links you could provide to improve performance for Web Application project?

    I have 7 projects in the solutions :

    Common.Data : Class Librairy (10 classes)
    Common.Controls : Class Librairy (2 classes)
    DAL : Class Librairy (20 classes)
    BLL : Class Librairy (40 classes)
    BO : Class Librairy (20 classes)
    Test : Class Librairy (50 classes)
    UI : C# Web Application (~10 classes, ~20 pages, ~60 UserControl (WebParts))

    The solution takes 3-4 seconds to build, but when I lauch the Web Application in Debug, it takes 2.5 to 3 minutes before the content is displayed to the user. After that, the application is very fast.

    Thanks

  • Scott,

    Are there any particular coding issues related to security that we need to watch out for when using ASP.NET AJAX? Any links to best practices?

  • Hi Scott,
    I have a question about LINQ to SQL. My table has two primary keys. Now I want to select a row (object) by its primary keys using method Single, but I don't know how to query it in LINQ?

  • Hi Ben,

    >>>>> What's your projection about the future efforts in SilverLight and it's importance within MS? Is it one of those projects that's shoots high and then dies off or will it be like Linq that will have life behind it?

    Silverlight definitely has a bright future in front of it. You are going to see a lot of effort being put behind it in the future.

    Thanks,

    Scott

  • Has the patch been released for the validation controls yet? I want to know if I can remove the from my web.config yet
