Most Common ASP.NET Support issues - Reporting from deep inside Microsoft Developer Support

Posted: 18 May 2010 02:24 PM PDT

Microsoft Developer Support or ("CSS" - Customer Support Services) is where you're sent within Microsoft when you've got problems. They see the most interesting bugs, thousands of issues and edge cases and collect piles of data. They report this data back to the ASP.NET team (and other teams) for product planning. Dwaine Gilmer, Principal Escalation Engineer, and I thought it would be interesting to get some of that good internal information out to you, Dear Reader. With all those cases and all the projects, there's basically two top things that cause trouble in production ASP.NET web sites. Long story short, Debug Mode and Anti-Virus software. Thanks to Dwaine Gilmer, Doug Stewart and Finbar Ryan for their help on this...(read more)

Applying XDT magic to App.Config

Posted: 18 May 2010 01:19 AM PDT

For several weeks now people have been asking to be able to use the XML Document Transform (XDT) with App.Config files similar to what is available with Web.Config files in VS 2010… In all honesty there is no official/supported  implementation of XDT for any other project type than Web Application Projects but the good news is that the basis of Web.Config Transformation resides in Web Publishing Pipeline (WPP) which are set of extensible tasks and targets hooked up to provide a great deployment story for Web Applications… Today, Ming (our senior dev on Visual Studio) and I decided to get together to give some love to App.Config file too… The below implementation is a crude way of getting XDT working into other project types within VS 2010...(read more)

Copying Files Over Remote Desktop

Posted: 18 May 2010 12:10 AM PDT

Here's a handy tip I just recently learned from the new intern on our team ( see, you can learn something from anyone on any given day ). I've long known you could access your local drives from a remote machine. For example, start up a remote desktop dialog. Then expand the dialog by clicking on Options , then check the Local Resources tab. Make sure Clipboard is checked, and then hit the More… button. Now you can select a local disk to be shared with the remote machine. For example, in this case I selected my C: drive. As you can see in the screenshot, the file explorer has another drive named " C on HAACKBOOK " which can be used to copy files back and forth from my local machine to the remote machine. But here's the part I didn't know. Let...(read more)

JavaScript local alias pattern

Posted: 17 May 2010 05:48 PM PDT

Here's a little pattern that is fairly common from JavaScript developers but that is not very well known from C# developers or people doing only occasional JavaScript development. In C#, you can use a "using" directive to create aliases of namespaces or bring them to the global scope: namespace Fluent.IO { using System; using System.Collections; using SystemIO = System.IO; In JavaScript, the only scoping construct there is is the function, but it can also be used as a local aliasing device, just like the above using directive: ( function ($, dv) { $( "#foo" ).doSomething(); var a = new dv( "#bar" ); })(jQuery, Sys.UI.DataView); This piece of code is making the jQuery object accessible using the $ alias throughout the code...(read more)
