Many web applications (such as this blog) allow users to enter HTML as a comment. For security reasons, the set of allowed tags is tightly constrained by logic running on the server. Because of this, it’s helpful to provide a preview of what the comment will look like as the user is typing the comment.

Ok, it wasn’t necessarily my ass that was saved, but it was years worth of images which were important to me!

Yeah, the past few days have been a pretty low moment for me and this blog. Long story short, on December 11, a hard-drive failure took down the managed dedicated server which hosts my blog among other sites.

This is the fourth post in my series on ASP.NET MVC 2 and its new features.

Good news! I have contributed my T4 template to the .less project. You can access it from the big download button on their homepage.

Just wanted to highlight a couple of podcasts that were suckersgracious enough to have me as a guest.

UPDATE: I’ve updated this post to cover changes to client validation made in ASP.NET MVC 2 RC 2.

One of the upcoming new features being added to ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta is a little helper method called Html.RenderAction and its counterpart, Html.Action. This has been a part of our ASP.NET MVC Futures library for a while, but is now being added to the core product.

I was stepping through some code in a debugger today and noticed a neat little feature of Visual Studio 2010 that I hadn’t noticed before.

This code has been incorporated into a new RouteMagic library I wrote which includes Source Code on CodePlex.com as well as a NuGet package!

This is the second in a three part series related to HTML encoding blocks, aka the <%: ... %> syntax.

Have you ever needed to quickly spawn a web server against a local folder to preview a web application? If not, what would you say you do here?

You probably don’t need me to tell you that Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 has been released as it’s been blogged to death all over the place. Definitely check out the many blog posts out there if you want more details on what’s included.

UPDATE 2018-11-19: I’ve transferred the GitHub Repository to Mateus Rodrigues de Morais who will take over future development of Let Me Bing That For You.

A little while ago, Scott Guthrie announced the launch of the Microsoft Ajax CDN. In his post he talked about how ASP.NET 4 will have support for the CDN as well as the list of scripts that are included.

If you’re a manufacturing plant, one way to maximize profit is to keep costs as low as possible. One way to do that is to cut corners. Go ahead and dump that toxic waste into the river and pollute the heck out of the air with your smoke stacks. These options are much cheaper than installing smoke scrubbers or trucking waste to proper disposal sites.
