I was chatting with someone at the event Mark and I did earlier today about the UpdatePanel in ASP.NET AJAX and I realised afterwards that I may have given a rather pessimistic view of performance so let me correct that here. The gentlemen was primarily...

I've just been doing a session of ASP.NET AJAX where we roamed over a number of subjects not directly related to the topic at hand - one of which was can you determine if the browser has .Net Fx 3.0 available so you could (potentially) deliver an XBAP...

I've been having problems with this combination - pages served by Cassini take an age to load in FireFox - and I did a search yesterday and noticed Rick Strahl and others were also having problems so it wasn't just me. I've pinged the ASP.NET team and...

If you have started, or intend to start, tackling the "assignments" for the UK Developer Launch of Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office System , then here are a few pointers for you based on issues raised on Saturday (when we held live labs for...

Damian, as the first of (fingers-crossed) many "anonymous" sponsors (ie I don't know who you are. I've probably never met you - this feels kind of weird) who are still prepared to stump up some cold hard cash to sponsor me. Thank you. Big time. Thanks...
