Can You Really Measure Customer Satisfaction?

Posted: 04 Feb 2010 12:43 AM PST

One question that came up recently during my mid-year review is how am I measuring customer satisfaction with the products that I work on? For example, how can I measurably demonstrate that customers are happy with the work we are doing on ASP.NET MVC and that my team is responding to customer feedback? Umm, I can't? At least not right now in a measurable manner. I don't have any such metric and I'm not sure how reliable any metric I might come up with will be. But perhaps that's simply due to a lack of imagination on my part. In the past, we've tried various unscientific online twitter polls. One thing we did was ask the world for a list of ASP.NET pain points and compile them into one big list. Then at the end of the product cycle, we could...(read more)

Debugging ASP.NET generated code

Posted: 03 Feb 2010 04:31 PM PST

This post applies to any ASP.NET app that uses .aspx files, whether WebForms or MVC. When you write an aspx/ascx/master file (I'll just say aspx for here on, but it applies to all), it gets compiled dynamically by the ASP.NET runtime.  Note that this is true whether you use a Web Site or a Web Application Project (WAP).  While in a WAP, most of the code is built by Visual Studio, the aspx pages themselves are always built dynamically . Normally, when you work with aspx files, you only need to worry about what you write in there, and the specifics of what ASP.NET generates under the cover are somewhat of an implementation details.  However, in some cases it's pretty useful to look at the generated code, either to learn exactly...(read more)
