Thanks to everyone who came along to my Live Framework session at DevWeek, a much bigger audience than I expected for the final session on the last day (of sessions at least). The best place to get you started is http://dev.live.com/liveframework . ...

Thanks to everyone that came along to my ASP.NET Roadmap session yesterday at DevWeek . I’ve attached a copy of my slides or you can browse the deck below from Slideshare.net. I’ll follow up with some blog posts over the next week or two with sample code...

If you’re having some trouble getting the ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 Preview setup working (the ReadMe is a little ambiguous), Wally McClure has a very helpful post on the subject . For the benefit of the spiders, you could be seeing either of these errors: ...

Given the success of my “new” Media Center I thought it deserved a little more money spending on it to avoid the “Media Center would like to change channel to record xxxx” scenario. Prescribed: Dual tuners. Dual tuners allow you to either watch one channel...

There I was considering whether a series of introductory blog posts on ASP.NET MVC was called for (yes, I know there are various videos and tutorials on www.asp.net but somehow they never seem to answer all the questions I have) modelled around building...

Maybe it's just me but every time I come to do this (usually about every 6 months as I build an ASP.NET demo) I run into problems so I thought I'd give an example here so I can use it again in September :-). Imagine I have a page that displays a list...
