Lutz Roeder's Weblog: The Future of .NET Reflector(blog.lutzroeder.com)

submitted by crpietschmanncrpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 9 months ago

After more than eight years of working on .NET Reflector, I have decided it is time to move on and explore some new opportunities. I have reached an agreement to have Red Gate Software continue the development of .NET Reflector. Red Gate has a lot of experience creating tools for both .NET and SQL Server. They have the resources necessary to work on new features, and Reflector fits nicely with other .NET tools the company offers. Red Gate will continue to provide the free community version and is looking for your feedback and ideas for future versions. read more...

ScottGu: First Look at Using Expression Blend with Silverlight 2(weblogs.asp.net)

submitted by JemmJemm(9604) 4 years, 2 months ago

In this first set of Silverlight tutorials I didn't use a visual design tool to build the UI, and instead focused on showing the underlying XAML UI markup (which I think helps to explain the core programming concepts better). Now that we've finished covering the basics - let's explore some of the tools we can use to be even more productive. read more...

What I Learned About MVC On Day One(coderjournal.com)

submitted by zigamorphzigamorph(3319) 4 years, 3 months ago

I am really blown back about how fast and easy MVC is to develop with. I know the guys at Microsoft do a good job with their .NET coding, but I am really impressed by the forethought they put in to MVC. It builds on top of the standard ASP.NET package, but does it in such a way that makes it lean on top of the already feature-rich (read bloated) ASP.NET Page object. It really doesn’t feel like I have all that baggage anymore. read more...

Exploring the Code for the New .NET 3.5 Classes(scottonwriting.net)

submitted by wisemxwisemx(8074) 4 years, 3 months ago

I often use the free and awesome decompiler Reflector to peer into the source code of Microsoft's .NET Framework. It's an indispensable tool. However, I had a little difficulty viewing the underlying source code for some of the new .NET 3.5 classes. In particular, for a recent article I was interested in looking at what was happening underneath the covers when the DataPager control was rendered. The DataPager is a new control in ASP.NET 3.5 used to render a paging interface for the ListView control (also new to 3.5). read more...
