ASP.NET 4 Web Server Here Shell Extension

Posted: 27 Oct 2009 09:52 PM PDT

Have you ever needed to quickly spawn a web server against a local folder to preview a web application? If not, what would you say you do here ? This is actually quite common for me since I receive a lot of zip files containing web applications which reproduce a bug. After I unzip the repro, I need a way to quickly point a web server at the folder and run the web site. A while back I wrote about a useful registry hack to do just this. It adds a right click menu to start a web server (Cassini) pointing to any folder. This was based on a shell extension by Robert McLaws . Well that was soooo 2008. It's almost 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 is out which means it's time to update this shell extension to run an ASP.NET 4 web server. Obviously...(read more)

New Silverlight Tooling Support in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2

Posted: 27 Oct 2009 05:57 PM PDT

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 will bring full support for developing applications in Silverlight 3.  There's a few things that have changed since VS2010 Beta 1, and we hope you enjoy the new beta release! Silverlight 2 is no longer supported – long live Silverlight 3 Now that Silverlight 3 has released (including a GDR; the latest version is currently 3.0.40818), VS2010 has moved the minimum supported version to Silverlight 3.  The new installation experience will include the latest Silverlight 3 developer runtime and Silverlight 3 GDR 2 SDK. If you already have the Silverlight 3 RTW version of the SDK installed, this component may fail during VS installation , but not to worry – it won't affect anything outside Silverlight.  If this...(read more)
