ASP.NET MVC Preview 4 is up on CodePlex. The Gu has all the exquisite Gu-Like Detail on his blog. If you take a look at the generated "changes" document, it shows a bunch of new stuff like AjaxHelpers and AjaxExtensions that set the stage for some interesting things the community could do with ASP.NET MVC and Ajax. I'd like to see some ...

ASP.NET MVC Preview 4 is up on CodePlex. The Gu has all the exquisite Gu-Like Detail on his blog. Phil Haack has some notes on this release on his blog.

This post will be filled with disclaimers and warnings. They are not just to CYA, but also to C my A and avoid my getting sacked. I've been working with Shawn Burke and Rob Conery and the magical Eilon Lipton to try to figure out a way to get ASP.NET MVC running under ASP.NET 2.0 SP1. Shawn had this idea and told Rob "go figure this ...

I was literally in the middle of writing the post when I saw a message from Andrew Davey about how he had implemented the same idea! Of course, his is way better, so I got to code via subtraction. That means subtracting out the crap I had written in a few minutes and dig into his code. There are no unique ideas, right? ;) Either way, it's fun ...

A number of folks have asked me how to "implement the ASP.NET File Upload Control" except using ASP.NET MVC. This is a really interesting question for a number of reasons and a great opportunity to explore some fundamentals. First, ASP.NET MVC is different since we don't get to use ASP.NET Server Controls as we're used to them. There's ...

I've been getting more and more interested in how folks extend their applications using plugins and things. In my new ongoing quest to read source code to be a better developer, Dear Reader, I present to you twenty-eighth (half a year!) in a infinite number of posts of "The Weekly Source Code." The iPhone 2.0 was announced today and ...

My one-hundred-and-sixteenth podcast is up. One of the big announcements coming out of TechEd this week was Microsoft' "Velocity" product, a distributed in-memory cache. I sit down with two of the architects of the project and try to get the real story. Check out Dare's excellent analysis of Velocity as well as the MSDN Page for ...

The Gu has announced another regular drop of ASP.NET MVC. This one is Preview 3 and the goodness can be found at the http://www.asp.net/mvc/ landing page. How does this relate to Visual Studio 2008/.NET 3.5 SP1 Beta It doesn't. For now ASP.NET MVC is an out-of-band Web downloadable thing. It's bin deployable (meaning you don't HAVE to put them in ...

I posted the month before last that the Mix08 Sessions, mine included, were up and available at http://sessions.visitmix.com. I posted links to the MP4, WMVs and other downloaded versions at the time as well. The Silverlight versions were the same versions, so there wasn't really a compelling reason to use Silverlight. What I didn't know, ...

The Beta of .NET 3.5 and VS2008 SP1 is out. I'm sure everyone is blogging the heck out of it, so I'll try to add my own specific kind of value. There's fixes, many improvements (some subtle, some dramatic), and some new technology. Should You Fear This (Beta) Release? Maybe a little bit. Don't be afraid of the new assemblies or the bug fixes, I ...
