10 Things ASP.NET Developers Should Know About Web.config Inheritance and Overrides - Jon Galloway

published 474 days, 4 hours, 58 minutes ago posted by

Steves 477 days, 2 hours, 6 minutes ago

The ASP.NET configuration system is build around the idea of inheritance: Each Web.config file applies configuration settings to the directory that it is in and to all of the child directories below it. Settings in child directories can optionally override or modify settings that are specified in parent directories. Configuration settings in a Web.config file can optionally be applied to individual files or subdirectori... (more)

The 4 Stages of Learning Design Patterns - Steve Smith's Blog

published 736 days, 12 hours, 35 minutes ago posted by

Steves 739 days, 10 hours, 37 minutes ago

Design patterns are general, reusable solutions that occur in software design, which can usually be adapted to fit into a number of different situations and applications. Recently, I recorded a screencast interview with Carl Franklin on Commonly Used Design Patterns for dnrTV, and one of the things we discussed was the stages of learning design patterns. I noted that, at least for myself, I’d found that I tended to go through four distinct phases during my learning process when it came to these pattern... (more)

Have you ever been looking for a quick and simple way to add IE 9 specific features to your website like the new site pinning or jumplist features that make your website look more like an application not a website. Do you use ASP.NET with your site design ? Want to be able to do all of this in less than five minutes ? You need pinify (formerly IE9ify).

Should I use HTML5 or Silverlight? One man's opinion. - Scott Hanselman

published 743 days, 18 hours, 2 minutes ago posted by

Steves 747 days, 18 hours, 41 minutes ago

I was in Belgium and The Netherlands this last week presenting and talking to folks in the community. After I presented on ASP.NET MVC 3, HTML5 and jQuery, one fellow came up after and said, "Should I use Silverlight or HTML5. I don't understand what Microsoft's strategy is or what to use in my app." Since I work for the Web Platform and Tools team (ASP.NET, IIS, etc) I spend a lot of time working, coding, and thinking about the web. However, I'm not an official strategist, or marketing guy. But I do h... (more)

After what seems like a long slumber, along with work being done on other projects such as Topshelf and Stact, it is our great pleasure to announce the first beta release of MassTransit v2.0. What originally started out as a minor “1.3” update has turned into a full-out cleanup of the codebase, including a refinement of the configuration API.

Silverlight 5 Beta Rough Notes–Hardware Decoded H.264 - Mike Taulty's Blog

published 750 days, 6 hours, 15 minutes ago posted by

Steves 751 days, 4 hours, 11 minutes ago

Note: these are early notes based on some initial experiments with the Silverlight 5 beta, apply a pinch of salt to what you read. This is a simple one – I’d read that Silverlight 5 could now do hardware decoding of H.264 encoded video on Windows so I thought I’d give that a try. I wanted a 1080p video so I did a quick search and came up with http://www.h264info.com/clips.html (I’ve no idea of the legality of these video clips by the way) and I downloaded the trailer for “The Bourne Ultimatum”).

ActiveX Filtering for Developers - IE Blog

Steves 751 days, 4 hours, 18 minutes ago

When we introduced ActiveX Filtering with the IE9 Release Candidate, we focused on delivering a great user experience that stays out of the way from regular browsing and makes it easy for users to turn off filtering when they want to. At the same time, we want users to have a great experience viewing Web sites while ActiveX Filtering is enabled. This includes minimizing site compatibility issues and clearly indicating when content on a Web page is blocked by ActiveX Filtering... (more)

One of the biggest challenges of implementing validation in Silverlight is finding the appropriate technique based on your architecture and goals. There are lots of choices and lots of examples, but not all examples work in all scenarios. Plus many examples demonstrate techniques that are no longer necessary or valid in the current version of Silverlight or whe... (more)

MVC Extension Method for Hosting Static Content on a CDN - Nathan Totten

I created a simple extension method that allows you to easily host your static content off the Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax CDN and Windows Azure CDN. This simple extension method will improve the performance of your website as well as saving server capacity (i.e. money). As you may have heard Windows Azure now supports using your Web Roles as a CDN backing. This allows you to use the Windows Azure CDN without the need to m... (more)

Today's web sites need to be user friendly, interactive, and responsive. The date field is of particular interest because at this point in time, users pretty much expect too see nicely formatted dates on the site in general, and datepicker/calendar widgets to interact with when editing date fields. The best way to do this, of course, is with client s... (more)

Even those of us who work on the product can probably think of a hundred ways we would like to make them better.

The ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update includes EF Code First as a preinstalled NuGet package. You can use EF Code First to generate models and then scaffold them with the updated Add Controller tool. Of course, you don’t have to use EF Code First to take advantage of the updated scaffolding in the ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update. Lets take a look at some of the improvements. Below is a screenshot of the new and improved Add Controller dialog. I am about to scaffold a controller and CRUD views for the Employee entity... (more)
