Not final release but quite close this time. The ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX, formerly known as the Atlas, has been released yesterday, with all the new look and feel. Changes are quite deep and important so all current Atlas pioneers should prepare themselves for a few hours to spend on migration. The new solution...

Every now and then I like to get a pulse on what people are using for their development environment. I'm continually picking after useful tools from reading other developer's posts. I'd like to know what your primary tools are, your list of favorites that you might not use every day, and...

This is an interesting post , with a good tip for how to apply field labels to TextBox fields on web forms. I did however find one point that was made interesting and it made me think... The problem is how to design this form cause there are no tables by default and also tables are not state of the art...

I'm thrilled to announce Jobs.CodeBetter.Com ; a new job board and job ad syndication service created by Eric Wise and myself over at CodeBetter . "Oh no, not another job site!" you're thinking. Yes, we were influenced by other new jobs posting sites, but we think we can do better for...

One problem that I frequently run into is trying to get my javascript URLs to point to the correct directory by using the "~" root for an ASP.NET application. Here's a handy function that helps with trying to get to the root of a webapp: Public Function FixUrl( ByVal Url As String ) As...

In developing any software application, it's important to keep things as simple as possible and add complexity only when needed. (I spoke about this in a previous post, Planning for vs. Reacting to Change .) On the flip-side, a certain amount of architecture may be assumed at the start of a project...

Background : We've been using Subversion for source control on our extensive ASP.NET project for the last year. It was the fourth tool we tried, and the one that stuck.

I don’t actually remember when I’ve met Atlas very first time, but it was some time ago. For almost everything I was working on, UpdatePanel and a few controls from Toolkit were absolutely fine and everything worked well, so there was no need to do anything more. Then my time came.

Inspired by Jeff's post , i thought I'd talk about some useful things I do with .NET 2.0 on a daily basis. Let's start with lists of generics. This is a great advance in programming. As well as being a powerful collection object, they can also be easily used as a datasource. All you have...

Well, according to Wikipedia the 2.0 RTM was released in November of last year (and we all know Wikipedia is always right... Except for last night when I went to the Jaguar page and the only text for the entire article was F**K YOU! ). Anyhow... My point is that the Framework saw some pretty big changes...

Scott Guthrie talks about how to speed up build times for Visual Studio 2005 .. It's a great read, and definitely something to know inside and out if you're doing ASP.NET development with VS 2005. You've got to hand it to a person in his position doing down and dirty blog posts to help us...

If you do any Web development whatsoever then you have most likely heard of Ruby on Rails . Ruby is a dynamic programming language and Rails is a framework for Web development. It's analogous to saying C# on ASP.NET. Well, the Rails framework is impressive to me in its own right. Even after just...
