Enabling the ASP.NET Ajax script loader for your own scripts

Posted: 23 Nov 2009 07:00 AM PST

In previous posts, I've shown different ways to build a client-side class browser, using the ASP.NET Ajax Libary and jQuery. In this post, I'll focus on a few lines of code from the latest version of that sample. Those few lines of code enable my custom script to benefit from the script loader's features such as lazy and parallel loading and dependency management. An important feature of the script loader is the separation of the script meta-data from the script code itself. The meta-data can include the name of the script, its dependencies, instructions on how to figure out if it's already loaded, its debug and release URL patterns and a declaration of the lazy components and plug-ins it introduces. The script loader can also handle composite...(read more)

RIA Services: A DomainService IS A WCF Service – Add Service Reference

Posted: 22 Nov 2009 11:57 PM PST

I made the fairly bold statement at my PDC09 talk that a DomainService IS A WCF Service.  That is, everything you know about a WCF service should be true of a DomainService.  I didn't have time to get into this in my talk, so I thought I'd hit the highlights here.  And in the process show how to consume a DomainService from a WinForms.    You can also see more examples at: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/RiaServices   You need: Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 (this actually works exactly the same in VS2008 and the corresponding RIA Services drop ) Silverlight 4 Beta   You can download the completed solution as well.   and be sure to check out the full talk .    1.

Posted: 23 Nov 2009 01:00 AM PST

At the PDC (our dev conference) we release the Beta version of the ASP.NET Ajax Library and also donated it to the CodePlex Foundation as their first project.  For this version of the library we've focused on four areas of functionality: Power for developers Build data-centric web apps using advanced client-side libraries and controls Keep your markup clean and standards-compliant with imperative coding Make it easier to code using JavaScript IntelliSense (autocomplete) in Visual Studio Keep it simple to load and execute your scripts using the advanced management and execution features of the Script Loader Performance Use the Microsoft Ajax CDN for lightning-fast downloads of the Microsoft Ajax Library and jQuery Reduce the number of requests...(read more)

Recent Podcasts

Posted: 22 Nov 2009 09:58 PM PST

Just wanted to highlight a couple of podcasts that were suckers gracious enough to have me as a guest. HerdingCode In this podcast I join the fellas at HerdingCode . Although this podcast came out after the Hanselminutes one, it was actually recorded a long time prior to that one. Jon Galloway , who does the editing, probably has some lame excuse about life changing events keeping him busy . I spent most of the time covering what's new with ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2, how the community influences our project, and how we prioritize bugs. I also finally reveal the dirty truth about Rob Conery 's departure from Microsoft. What's notable about this episode is the introduction of a brand new segment, "Abusive Questions from Twitter". I was having problems...(read more)
