Entirely unobtrusive and imperative templates with Microsoft Ajax Library Preview 6

Posted: 15 Oct 2009 02:12 AM PDT

Today is the release of the sixth preview of Microsoft Ajax Library. Don't get fooled by the somewhat silly and long name: this is a major release in many ways. The scripts have been majorly refactored since preview 5. Check out the other posts out there (links at the bottom of this post) to see just some of the many new features that are in there. Some of my favorite are all the small improvements that have been made to make imperative instantiation of components and templated contents easier than ever. Many of you have told us that you preferred to do things imperatively and this release makes it a lot better. When Preview 5 came out, I built a simple class browser using the declarative syntax. The class browser shows the hierarchy of namespaces...(read more)

ASP.NET MVC 1.0 Scripts Available on Microsoft CDN

Posted: 15 Oct 2009 08:56 PM PDT

A little while ago, Scott Guthrie announced the launch of the Microsoft Ajax CDN . In his post he talked about how ASP.NET 4 will have support for the CDN as well as the list of scripts that are included. The good news today is due to the hard work of Stephen Walther and the ASP.NET Ajax team , they've added a couple of new scripts to the CDN which are near and dear to my heart, the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 scripts. The following code snippet shows how you can start using them today. < script src ="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/3.5/MicrosoftAjax.js" type ="text/javascript" ></ script > < script src ="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/mvc/MicrosoftMvcAjax.js" type ="text/javascript" ></ script...(read more)
