New hard drive means re-install everything

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 09:14 PM PDT

I recently found a good deal on a 7200 RPM 500GB latpop drive and decided to upgrade myself to that. I've been operating on a 150GB drive for a long time and hadn't been cleaning up old projects, encodings, etc. so it was running thin on space. This was Read More......(read more)

Cleaner HTML Markup with ASP.NET 4 Web Forms - Client IDs (VS 2010 and .NET 4.0 Series)

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 07:02 PM PDT

This is the sixteenth in a series of blog posts I'm doing on the upcoming VS 2010 and .NET 4 release. Today's post is the first of a few blog posts I'll be doing that talk about some of the important changes we've made to make Web Forms in ASP.NET 4 generate clean, standards-compliant, CSS-friendly markup.  Today I'll cover the work we are doing to provide better control over the "ID" attributes rendered by server controls to the client. [ In addition to blogging, I am also now using Twitter for quick updates and to share links. Follow me at: twitter.com/scottgu ] Clean, Standards-Based, CSS-Friendly Markup One of the common complaints developers have often had with ASP.NET Web Forms is that when using server controls they don't have the...(read more)

A C# implementation of the CallStream pattern

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 05:18 PM PDT

Dusan published this interesting post a couple of weeks ago about a novel JavaScript chaining pattern: http://dbj.org/dbj/?p=514 It's similar to many existing patterns, but the syntax is extraordinarily terse and it provides a new form of friction-free, plugin-less extensibility mechanism. Here's a JavaScript example from Dusan's post: CallStream( "#container" ) (find, "div" ) (attr, "A" , 1) (css, "color" , "#fff" ) (logger); The interesting thing here is that the functions that are being passed as the first argument are arbitrary, they don't need to be declared as plug-ins. Compare that with a rough jQuery equivalent that could look something like this: $.fn.logger = function () { /* ... *...(read more)

New Psscor2 commands – DumpAllExceptions

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 03:35 PM PDT

There have been a few places where you can see this command run, but I wanted to talk about it here officially.  This command is used to display all of the exceptions that are currently in the managed heap.  One interesting thing is that this function actually looks at what class the object derives from and if it derives from System.Exception, then it will show up in the list.  So you can have your own custom exceptions shown here regardless of what naming mechanism you use for your class. There is some helpful information about the output from this command here: ASP.NET Debugging - ASP.NET Tips- DumpAllExceptions , namely that if you run it twice, you may see different callstacks from the various exceptions. Here is the documentation...(read more)
