Bit slow on this having just got back from holiday but Scott has blogged about the latest "official" preview release of the MVC framework . I call it an "official" release to distinguish it from the interim source releases we're making...

I've updated the page I posted yesterday so the app now supports POINT, LINESTRING and POLYGON (simple POLYGONs with no interior boundaries - ie the image on the left (below) is okay, the image on the right is not). I've also posted the source for an...

Hot on the heels of my Sql Spatial Data Generator comes my Sql Spatial Data Visualiser ! Well, sort of. A couple of people have asked me for this but it's not that easy to create an app that lives in the cloud and queries other people's SQL Servers in...

One of the demos I've been doing at the MSDN Roadshow is to take the new ASP.NET routing capabilities (currently in preview) and show them in isolation from MVC / Dynamic Data. Although the new routing capabilities were developed for the MVC framework...

In the next issue of the MSDN Flash Newsletter I write about some of the upcoming features in ASP.NET including two new controls specifically designed to take advantage of the richness provided by Silverlight. The <asp:Silverlight> control allows...

In my roadshow session I talk about where to get all the latest ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions bits . One word of warning, the latest drop of Dynamic Data (0423) doesn't play well with MVC Preview 2 - stick with the 0408 drop for now if you want to use both....

ASP.NET webforms offers a number of different options for re-use including extending existing controls, composite controls, custom controls and user controls. While the ASP.NET MVC framework doesn't support server controls (this isn't strictly true -...
