Auto-Start ASP.NET Applications (VS 2010 and .NET 4.0 Series)

Posted: 15 Sep 2009 01:46 AM PDT

This is the seventh in a series of blog posts I'm doing on the upcoming VS 2010 and .NET 4 release. I'm going to switch from discussing new VS 2010 tooling features and instead do a few posts covering a few new runtime features (don't worry – I'll come back to a lot more VS features, I'm just trying to mix things up a bit). Today's post covers a small, but nice, new feature that you can now optionally take advantage of with ASP.NET 4 - the ability to automatically startup and proactively initialize a web application without having to wait for an external client to hit the web server.  This can help you provide a faster response experience for the first user who hits the server, and avoids you having to write custom scripts to "warm up"...(read more)

Silverlight tip – Dynamic TextBlock

Posted: 14 Sep 2009 03:11 PM PDT

Problem: You need text to dynamically add elipses, "…",  to the end of a sentence.  The difficulty is how do you detect the actual length of the string.  All characters are not created the same.  Ten i's != ten m's. Solution: Robby Ingebretsen at NerdPlusArt.com (and of Kaxaml fame) has a dynamic control that does [...]...(read more)
