ASP.NET

For those of us still giving thoughts to the Meta Keywords tag - don't. Even Yahoo declared that they are not using it anymore. Here's some more references.

Visual Studio 2008 support Java Script IntelliSense. It does so by using a "-vsdoc.js" file, which is saved together with the "original" ".js" file. For example, if you're using JQuery, and use jquery-1.3.2.min.js file, you can put a jquery-1.3.2.min-vsdoc.js file just next to it (available from JQuery download page), and that's it.

 

Unfortunately, this may not work, and all you get is: "Error updating JScript IntelliSense: Object doesn't support this property or method".

 

One of the things may cause this issue is a bug in Visual Studio. If you're using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (like I do), there's a patch you can install that adds JScript Editor support for “-vsdoc.js” IntelliSense documentation files.

Some web applications require interaction with mobile devices. A key ingredient when writing such application for mobile devices is figuring out which device "talks" with our server, serve it with best fit markup, and make correct business-logic decisions (i.e. send the correct video format, setup package, etc.)

 

There are several tools that help us to cope with these challenges, all of them are built on top of a database (mostly XML files) which contains a mapping between devices and User Agents.

Mix Online is a very nice community web site for web developers. It contains several open source prototypes we can use as a starter for our projects.

 

A very nice project is Glimmer, which can be downloaded from Code Plex. Glimmer is a "JQuery Interactive Design Tool". In real people language it means that this is a desktop application that allows you to build JQuery scripts without coding. This is a shortcut for JQuery newcomers.

I'm having some hard times supporting a FLEX client trying to get XML over HTTP from a server of mine. I have a server implemented in ASP.NET MVC framework. It basically uses HTTP GET for data retrieval, and HTTP POST for data updates. I also use HTTP custom headers to determine the view to return to my clients, depending on the type of service.

xVAL is an open source validation framework for ASP.NET MVC. It is still a Beta, but I read some very good reviews about it.

 

MS will release a validation framework of its own in MVC framework V2. It is available in Preview 1 version (alpha?), but you can run it side-by-side with the good ol' version 1.

If you want to use a SiteMap in your MVC web app, you're going to need a whole different SiteMapProvider. Here's something nice, the MvcSiteMap, still in Alpha, but worth to look into.

Do yourself a favor and take an hour or so to watch the following video about ASP.NET MVC by Scott Hanselman:

It really gives you the basics of most things you'll need for building a full scale web application.
