Getting jQuery Intellisense Functioning in Visual Studio 2008

It was announced today at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference that Visual Studio 2008 supports Intellisense for jQuery with an additional file available from jQuery. The file is available from Google Code . There are no instructions included with the download but I took the time to get jQuery Intellisense to work in one of my ASP.NET MVC projects. In order to get this to work I did the following: 1. Downloaded the jquery-1.2.6-vsdoc.js to the Scripts folder of...

Visual Studio 2008 Tips I Should Know

Stephen Walther had a great, practical post recently on his blog with a set of tips and tricks to help developers make better use of Visual Studio 2008 . I have to admit I didn't know many of these tips and wonder what else I might be missing. I will pay better attention to shortcuts as I run across them. Here is a summary of the tips, but check out Stephen's post to see them in action: You don’t need to select a line to copy or delete it, use CTRL-c You can add a namespace automatically by...

Accessorize your Denial of Service or SQL Injection Attack

I was reading some posts on Twitter the past couple days and noticed some Tweets from Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman regarding an attack on their web servers for their blogs which caused a large spike in traffic. They determined it was some type of Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack . I decided to check out my own server which I host this site and to my surprise, the same thing had been happening to me all day with an increase in traffic 10x. I reviewed my server logs and saw some really...

ASP.NET MVC Recent Code Drop Updates Cause Some Pain

Microsoft released the ASP.NET MVC Framework updates to CTP 2 in the middle of April and for those using it you may have noticed some changes to the way certain things are done. I am working on a project where I am using the CTP to get a web site built and learning ASP.NET MVC along the way. I started using the CTP 2 for the project and moved over to the latest code drop as soon as it came out. Sure, I expected some changes so it was not a big deal, but the ones I encountered were interesting and...

Back in the Vista Saddle Again

I have wanted to be a Windows Vista user and developer since before it was released, but there always seemed like something didn't work or some application I used kept crashing. The pure pain of the performance of Vista alone was not worth the "upgrade" from Windows XP. I have tried both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Vista and had a horrible time, consistently running into problems trying to get the iPhone working with iTunes under Vista as well. I wrote about some issues before giving...

ASP.NET MVC Source Code Now Available - ScottGu's Blog

As an fan of all things MVC, today's news of the release of the ASP.NET MVC Source Code was really good news. I think it shows Microsoft's continued steps toward being open source. Scott Guthrie was the one breaking the news and he has some details on his blog to check out. The source was released as part of a CodePlex project and can be found as part of the ASP.NET CodePlex project , where the source can be found and downloaded . Scott Hanselman also has a great post about his thoughts on the ASP...

Fixing the Toolbox in Visual Studio 2005

I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services lately (notice the extreme sarcasm in my tone). I am working on a project for a large client and one part of the project requires I enhance a report to support multiple languages. This post is not about localization but a rather strange issue I faced today. I opened up my project in Visual Studio and proceed to open the report I needed to analyze for changes and decided to look at the controls at my disposal...

ASP.NET MVC Framework Preview 2 - Changes for the Better

The team providing us with the ASP.NET MVC Framework made available the 2nd preview release during the MIX08 Conference March 5-7, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV. This release has many great changes as they team works toward an RTM maybe later in the year, but no promises were made. I just wanted to point out some of the bigger changes in the Preview 2 release. The ASP.NET MVC Framework can be deployed in the \bin directory of an app and work in partial trust One of the pain-points in the current CTP of the...

Rob Conery and team release SubSonic 2.1 Beta

Ron Conery , who recently joined Microsoft has somehow found time to release a new version of SubSonic , 2.1 in beta. I have been using SubSonic since the 2.0 release and find it is a really nice OR/M tool for .NET applications. It offers some of the things I find particularly attractive in Ruby on Rails, things like Migrations. The SubSonic 2.1 beta 1 offers so much more: A New Query Tool We have a new Query tool that lives happily alongside our existing one. Our goal with it was to make it as ...
