• Sooo since you are back from your vacation now (I hope you've enjoyed it) and you said the .NET source will be released when you are back, is there any chance that this happens today?

  >>>>>>> Sooo since you are back from your vacation now (I hope you've enjoyed it) and you said the .NET source will be released when you are back, is there any chance that this happens today?
  
  Unfortunately not today - although it will happen soon. We've been beta testing it with a few hundred people to make sure we can scale the servers well, and that we get the debugger integration working well.
  
  I'm hoping to be able to post the final instructions for everyone to use really soon.
  
  Thanks,

• Hi Scott,
  
  On 29/Nov/2007 you promised to start a tutorials blog with Silverlight 2.0 its been about 6 weeks now, can you give us an idea as to when can we expect it?
  
  Thanks,
  Imran
  

• Class library support in Visual Web Developer sounds great - I can't wait.
  

• @ScottGu,
  
  Scott Mitchell from www.4guysfromrolla.com (and also the author of the excellent ASP.NET Data Tutorials) is starting a new series that covers using the new ASP.NET ListView control.
  
  --------------------------------------------
  Can you just brief what other new data tutorials are coming to us, will they cover ORM with LINQ ( LINQ to SQL ) etc...
  
  Thanks
  

• Hi Scott-
  
  If I could, I'd add this link to your link listing for ASP.NET MVC. :)

• Mr. Scott;
  Good to see you back. We are anxiously awaiting your series on SL 2.0.

  I'm hoping to be able to start the new Silverlight 2.0 blog series in the next two weeks. Should be fun (I hope!). :-)
  
  Thanks,

• Scott;
  
  >>Should be fun (I hope!). :-)
  Just get ready for gazillion questions ;-)
  

• Scott,
  
  Is the Silverlight 2.0 Beta still on track to be released ~Marchish? I noticed that in a previous post, you commented that there would be some feature(s) which allow cross-domain web requests by SL in 2.0; I'm curious if you're able to elaborate on how your team will set that up while keeping up the security?
  
  Thanks, and great work as always,
  Paul
  

• thanks for more useful links Scott, i had been missing your posts! Hope you had a great vacation...you deserve it!
  
  And I hope we get to read some more of those excellent articles you write.
  

• Hey Now Scott,
  As always there is so much info here, it's so great to have & read & work with.
  Thx,
  Catto
  

• Scott, can you make your links a little bit darker. There's not enough contrast between the light blue and white. Perhaps swap the link color with your visited color which is good.
  
  Thanks

  Dear Scott,
  
  We are waiting for great Blog about Silverlight 2.0. Pl. make sure one of your blog covers IronRuby as a coding language.
  
  Since Silverlight works on DLR, I believe that your silverlight 2.0 blog, would bring us more closer to DLR + IronRuby.
  
  Thanks

  I'll cover this more in the future (although it is probably several posts into the series - since there is going to be a lot of overall Silverlight material to cover!).
  
  Thanks,
  
  Scott
  

• Hi Marcos,
  
  >>>>>> Scott, can you make your links a little bit darker. There's not enough contrast between the light blue and white. Perhaps swap the link color with your visited color which is good.
  
  That is odd - I'm actually just using standard "a" html elements for the links. I don't think I have any custom CSS applied to them.
  
  Sorry!
  
  Scott
  

• Hi Ken,
  
  >>>>>> When can we see more advanced MVC tutorials?
  
  I'll have more MVC tutorials in the future - although probably not for a few weeks (since I'm going to be busy on a few other things). Phil has been doing more advanced MVC tutorials the last few weeks though that are definitely worth checking out: http://haacked.com/
  
  I'll also probably do a giant MVC link listing post in the next two weeks that will point off to tons of good articles people have written. I'll then publish some more of my own in the future.
  
  Hope this helps,
  
  Scott
  

• Hi Soctt,
  When can we get the next version of MVC framework?
  I have reported three bugs in the first CTP, Those bugs have been resolved or not? I'm waiting for the new version.
  

• Hi Scott, will people like me who are not connected to the internet at work be able to manually download the .Net source?
  
  I hope MS keep in mind that a lot of their users are not "always connected" due to company policy.
  
  Cheers
  

• Hi Scott,
  
  I was just wondering: I've tried opening my Visual Studio 2005 Express websites with Visual Studio 2008 Express, and it doesn't work. Is framework targeting part of the featureset of the VS express editions?
  
  I just hope I don't have to install the two Express editions side by side.
  

• Great list of developer resources, Scott. I'd like to add to the pile! InnerWorkings has teamed up with Microsoft to offer 3 hours of free .NET 3.5 training for developers. It's a practice-based learning model integrated with VS 2008 and covers the following areas:
  * New Features in C# 3.0
  * New Features in VB 9.0
  * LINQ to SQL
  

• Hi Scott -
  
  I've noticed that you have recommended books at the side of your blog.
  I work for John Wiley & Sons Ltd and are publishing a wide selection of books (which included our Wrox brand) on the new Visual Studio 2008 to include: C++, ASP.NET 3.5, Visual Basic 2008, C# and SQL server 2008. Would you be interested in reviewing a couple of these and to post them on your blog if I sent them over to you? Or if you could let me know of someone who would like to?
  I look forward to hearing from you.
  Thanks
  Kate
  

• Hi Scott,
  
  Do you have any reference on sharing a single master page between multiple websites on the same server using VS2008?
  
  Thanks!
  

• I'd like to understand the direction MVC will be headed with integration/consumption of AJAX? I'm working on a project where a MasterPage hosts a menu. I've been trying to supress the full PAGE refresh when a new view is loaded from the menu. What I'm struggling with is understanding how the Controller and the View generate a post and ignore the update panel on the contentplaceholder in the view? The View does inherit the masterpage and it's content is loaded in the contentplaceholder but a full page refresh is generated with a new menu (View) selection. In "classic asp.net 2.0" I can load and entire user control, page or content without a full page post. Please help me understand what I'm missing - did we go back in time with MVC and full page postbacks - or am I just a idiot ;-) ?
