One of the changes in asp.net 4.0 that I discovered the hard way last week has to do with request validation. I created a web service with a few methods that allow an application to send email messages using an email marketing service instead of our SMTP server, very simple nothing complex.
The problem
We can call and execute the web methods from our web application without a problem, everything works. However, when we tried to execute one of these web methods where the message's body is a parameter, and we executed it from a browser using query strings we got...
Yes, it has been released, this is the new, improved, cool, updated and so much waited for version of asp.net MVC.
asp.net MVC 2 is out which was officially confirmed by Scott Gu yesterday on his blog.
I wrote a post about some of the features included in the release candidate 2 (RC2) just a few weeks ago. This new and final asp.net MVC 2 has some cool new features such as:

Templated Helpers that allow you to specify extra View Data. Basically, this release now includes new overloads for the EditorFor and DisplayFor methods, the overloads contain...
The asp.net MVC 2 RC 2 was made available on February 4, 2010, you can download it here.
This new release has some cool features such as the following:
Areas:
The Areas were first introduced with the MVC 2 Preview 1 release. However, I've decided to include some information about areas since the ASP.NET team has made some changes to this feature since its release.
Areas allow developers to partition large projects into smaller more manageable smaller units that are referenced to as areas. Each area has the same structure as an asp.net MVC project, and within an application you can have...
SimpleProject is a web based project tracking application which I intend to use in my consulting business and in my wife's tax preparation business. If everything goes as expected this is also an application that I will be offering to other solo entrepreneurs and micro and small businesses.
Last night I finally completed the mockup of all the main pages and the navigation, and I am very happy with the results. I want to mention I used balsamiq to create these mockups and I absolutely love this product, it is easy and simple to use and with a little practice...
A week ago I released a new version of my business website, then I asked for feedback about the overall design of this website using LinkedIn questions. I didn't realize I'll get so many opinions and valuable feedback! It was an eye opening, many people provided very valuable feedback, with details that you usually get only when paying a web designer or design firm.
I have been a member of LinkedIn for some time now; In the past, I've used it to share knowledge and experience by answering web development questions, and to look for business and job opportunities. It...
Lately I have been trying to use ASP.NET MVC on new web projects. One main reason is just to get familiar with it and understand it as I understand ASP.NET web forms. Below, is a very simple tutorial that walks you through the necessary steps to create an ASP.NET MVC application with Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) capabilities. This sample application also uses Linq to SQL and takes full advantage of data scaffolding.
First, if you haven't already, you need to download and install MVC 1.0, you can do this here or better yet, you can download it using the...
Last Tuesday, Scott Guthrie announced in his blog the new Microsoft AJAX content delivery network (CDN), this is great news to all of us using AJAX in our commercial and non-commercial applications.

In the case of the Microsoft AJAX CDN servers, the jQuery and ASP.NET AJAX libraries are cached across multiple web-sites around the world and they are available to you now. If your website loads these AJAX libraries from the Microsoft AJAX CDN servers, your AJAX enabled...

I want to share the following with you; I try to attend the .Net user group meetings as much as I can. I find these free get-togethers really useful for developers of all levels… and I love the free pizza too!
I live in Austin, TX so the one I attend to is the Austin .Net user's group (adnug.org). I guess I am a lucky guy, since 2008 I have won twice a free subscription/license to Infragistic's NetAdvantage suite valued at about $1,500.00. Needless to say, I have enjoyed these "free" controls and I am very happy with it.
